- Curt 5/8/08: "If we're going to solve the food crisis we need acknowledge that we are in a food prodcution and population race, a race similar to that of the nuclear arms race of the Cold War era. For every increase in food surplus we make on one side there is an increase in population on the other side. It's a race we cannot win."
