[This message contained attachments that have been removed.] Ref: I mean the total world population is around 7 billion, and it does not have enough resources to feed all of them. *** This is factually wrong. As per well known data from various sources, including FAO, enough food is being produced on earth even now to feed everybody. The grain is being fed to cattle, fowl and pigs so that man may eat these animals. Conversion efficiency from vegetable to animal food is low. Six times more enrgy per unit land can be obtained as plant food compared to flesh food.
