Given the massive amounts of poverty and the number of people starving to death in the world, I would say that for a good portion it is "untenable."

Massive poverty has been the case for lots of societies going back a long way. It has to do with inequal distribution of goods, not inability of the world's people to produce enough goods.

Well, that is YOUR opinion.

Poverty is also subjective and the American (as defined by the Feds) is not correct.

Lots of statistics here so it is probably a boring read for most.

No, it's simple math. worldhunger.org says the current worldwide production of food works out to 2720 calories per person for the entire planet.

In the past 30 years world population has increased 70%. Food production has gone up even faster-- calories produced per person is 17% higher now than it was 30 years ago.

What hasn't changed is political and social restraints on distribution.

EDIT-- pardon the omission-- obviously that is 2720 calories produced per day per person.

Well, of course, if it is on the Internet, then it is probably true.

Seriously, did you look into how they compiled that number? For example, humans are not the only animal that eats food (they all do in fact) so are they talking food production meant for humans?

And, of course, I would need to see the math behind their assertion anyway, if I cared enough that is.

Anyway, take care. I don't talk politics here and that seems to be where you are headed.

"inequal distribution of goods" I am not sure what that means? do you mean "unequal"

Nope. I nominate no one. Too many nominations as it is.

But I will vote some one in.

And mine for PrawnEatsPrawn!

I say if the electoral college won't put him on the ballot, we write him in.

What'dya' say? We have yet to see this particular problem in the byzantine voting process that is CPOTM.

I think proKnight's always had the nominations corrected/caught up by the time we get to the voting stage.
