“We Are Going To Run Out Of Food” — 7 Reasons There’s Going To Be A Global Famine

Food is the foundation of civilized society. As long as there’s enough food to go around, people are great at cooperating and will often work together to help the less fortunate. But when the food is gone, all bets are off.

Considering how vital food is, you would think the mainstream media would talk about the dangers of food scarcity. Sure, they’ll briefly mention the coming climate disasters or the problem of dwindling resources, but they rarely mention the ultimate result of these predicaments: food shortages.

Even some of the most outspoken climate scientists prefer to be vague, saying things like “our way of life is in danger” or “the future looks bleak.” It’s like they’re afraid to say what they really mean: People are going to starve to death.

And not just people on the other side of the world. People in your town. People in your neighborhood. Maybe even people in your home.

By being vague and avoiding any discussion of food shortages, the media makes it easy for people to ignore existential threats like climate change and peak oil. Instead of worrying, people tell themselves it won’t be so bad, that it will mostly affect poor countries, that they don’t need to make any sacrifices.
