I've read a few articles explaining that a food crisis is coming, I want to tell you something about it. There will be no food crisis for me.
Price of pasta, price of cooking oil, rice or meat will increase 20%? 30%?

That's all right. I don't care much. I can handle it, just like most people in developed countries. We don't spend much on food, increasing that budget by a third is perfectly fine.

The problem will be with the poor countries, but I wonder: is it a problem, or a solution?

There were 100 millions people living in Africa in 1900. Now, there are over 1,500 millions people there. I know that some people live a in a fantasy world thinking that there will be food, jobs, modern housing and all creature comforts for every human, but that won't happen. We live in a finite world, and the population just cannot grow without limit. Number one rule of the world has always been the survival of the fittest...

I believe that the food crisis scare is justified. Well, for very poor countries.

But they have been in a crisis long before now. And nobody has been paying much attention to them. After corona virus and now with the Russia-Ukraine issue, prices are going up.

While the higher prices are nothing but a nuisance for Europeans, it might spell disaster for those living each day penny by penny.

Saying it could be a good thing is ignorant and petty. Using the survival of the fittest excuse is something that someone with the mind of a 13 year old edgy teen could come up with.

People like that need to be sent to Africa for a few years to fend for themselves. When(if) they come back, they will never think such a way again.
