Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Food Resources For two years the people of Europe and America have been reading about diet, studying nutrition, practising cookery, talking about food, and wondering about the food supply as never before. Has food shortage come to stay, or is there a bounteous future ahead of us? The answer to that question depends on how man behaves. The injunction of Jehovah to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden still holds good. The earth is still a potential Eden with room (food possibilities) for many, many more of the children of men. We have subdued the earth far more extensively than Adam dreamed of doing. It is more completely ours than Eden was Adam´s. Now as then, man´s greatest enemy is himself. Food we can have in great abundance if we devote our time to the continued conquest of the earth, and to the utilization of nature, rather than to the conquest of each other. But there can be only death and starvation for millions of men if we continue to indulge in war. Nations arc no longer independent. We have become dependent on a great fabric of ™ when it is destroyed, we die. It is the object of this book to present some of the facts concerning the world´s food supply and the possibilities of food supply, and to discuss the outlook for the future. The war has made us think about food - a little. Did you ever figure out just what you would do if your food supply failed? You probably have not, but a good observer who has seen men in all stages of starvation in the Yukon wilderness has it worked out in this way: "If a man misses his meals one day, he will lie. If he misses his meals two days, he will steal. If he misses his meals three days, he will kill." This may sound far-fetched, but in reality it is just an everyday fact that has not hitherto come up for our consideration.
