I ran across this video today and it completely disgusted me, almost thought it was a joke. It wasn't.
It's common knowledge that population growth along with human-driven environmental stress factors, rising costs of raw materials, labor, transportation and food, and the massive quantity food production (and inherent waste of food) will one day result in global food shortages.
Skyrocketing food prices are hitting pocketbooks worldwide. The world’s poorest countries which have the highest population bases are most at-risk as core food supplies become scarce. Worldwide grain supplies are dropping precipitously. Exporting nations are now themselves running out of grain.
The argument to be made is that food is not as abundant or cost-effective as it once was and, accordingly taking into account all of the given factors, the future of food availability is ambiguous to say the very least. Sure, many solutions have been and are currently being floated by scientists, the government, and media, but unless real, tangible action is taken sooner than later, we may have a real global problem one day.
Having said that, this scientist thinks he has a solution - feces burgers to be exact.
We live on a planet capable of feeding all of its inhabitants, but because of humanity's greed and over consumption we face a future that might include, literally, eating @!$%# (pardon my language but why beat around the bush?).
Watch this video and think about it the next time you order a burger.
