we export lots of food. but it's estimated that we'll stop exporting food in 25 years or so. in 50 years we'll need to import as much food as we currently export. ha ha. not gonna happen. other countries will need their food to feed themselves. we've been using a tremendous amount of fossil fuels to get the most from our arable land. in 25 years it's quite likely the supply of the most useful fossil fuels (oil and natural gas) will be significantly lower than it is today. and in 50 years well, they will be the most precious stuff on earth. sell your mcdonald's stock. fast food's history. it currently takes 1000 calories of energy to get 1 calorie of food to your mouth. we're gonna need to tighten our belts over the next couple of generations. fortunately, we're wearing a really big belt.
