The people who keep track of these kinds of things feel certain that the population of the earth topped 7 billion people on October 31st, 2011. As all of the political protests go on around the world I have to wonder, what about food? Shouldn't we slow down on the wars and political differences for a while and just figure out the food? Besides, after a good meal, we'll feel better and maybe not so inclined to invade one another. Maybe the whole world could sit down to a nice meal, then loosen our pants and watch Law & Order reruns on television all afternoon. -JLJ
