I'm no expert, of course, but it seems to me that, if big agribusiness has released a mold, it would be a good idea for you invest heavily in wheat futures. Hey man, opportunities like these don't come along very often. Jump on it!! Jeff:

Where and why did they release this mold, and what was the method of delivery? Is that what the black helicopters are all about? As for the beaten up dollar and high commodity prices....surely, you have noticed an unwinding of the dollar/commodity spread in the past couple of months. Wheat is off 35%, beans are off 25%, gold is well off it's high, and the dollar has bottomed. While I predict that food shortages are in the future, I don't think will be the result of government/business, but will be due to natural causes. Anthony, you need to do your homework, keep quiet, and stop making it hard for true conservatives to hold a rational discussion. It's hard enough already..... Jeff Anthony,

Children alive to day will not out live their parents, not even close. Given the current real stats behind obesity, cancer, diabetes, and other once (less than 100 years ago) diseases, the population will begin to reverse within the next 2 years. Personally, I think it will turn around completely later this year or next. You're odds of contracting cancer alone are 1 in 1. Imagine the rest of the scenerio. Heart disease, etc... With the coming Codex Clinton set us up for in 2009, added to Bush's continued collapse of the dollar through the deficit, food diseases and starvation will begin later this year. When the two merge, we're already in too deep. By the UN's Codex's own addmission, over 1 million will die within the 1st year from malnutrition and related diseases in the US. The dollar facing a beating, even without the UN's plan, we are in serious trouble. This year also, big agri businesses released a mold, purpose??? Perhaps to wipe out what small farms are left, or destroy crops, naturally they have created the seeds immune to this mold. This is what's being taught by the so called learned? I would suggest they actually research the whole picture. Don't take my word for it though, put some effort in and research it for yourself.

The population explosion the world has experienced is in direct proportion to the availability of cheap energy. Once the cheap energy is gone, and we're getting close now, the world population will decline. Many people in this world depend on food, plant and animal, that requires huge amounts of energy to produce (about 10 calories used to produce 1 edible calorie, I think that's correct). When the majority of people must once again produce their own food, with no tractors/combines/trucks etc., the population will decline. Oh and Russ, you are 100% correct. No one ever mentions overpopulation as an issue or problem to be dealt with. Unbelieveable.

The population of the world, barring a big war or global catastrophe, will continue to really grow. Since our resources are finite, one can assume that there will be scarcities of staple items. Time to stock up on the basics. Jeff I think Erlich’s 1970’s bestseller, “The Population Bomb” was off the mark as for the timetable, but he was correct in his extrapolation of the works of Malthus.

Already, we're seeing the effects of overpopulation in the current food crisis in many countries. Oil may have already reached peak production, and it is fertilizer from petrochemicals that has brought us plentiful and cheap food in the 20th century. And we're looking to food (corn) to produce alternate fuels as oil declines. What are people going to eat? Personally, I don't think the world's population will hit 14 billion. People who are starving to death are rarely the most sexually active people around. Malthus was right, you know, he was just off on the timing.
