I would like to know, how many thousands are being fed by the msm just right now with their malthusian crap, for every person who knows anything about this:

Or this:

(on the pdfs of that page)

Global production of rice in 1961:
215,6 million tons

Global production of rice in 2006:

631,4 million tons

“The price of rice dropped to a low of less than $200 a ton in 2001 from more than $550 a ton in the 1970s”
