I read all the way just say that millions will and are being made,

Well, okay then, by whom?
75% of all "underwater" home mortgages also have very high interests rates---which are rising every 6 months or so.  And unemployment benefits are beginning to run out for millions of people in the next 6 months to 1 1/2 yrs.  No money means drastic living conditions for the people affected.  People whom don't have money to spend in the Upper Midwest (MI, WI, OH) won't contribute to the economy---and drain resources from it.  I live in a slum in San Francisco, and I see this in bums daily.  Lots of them and more coming.

I  used to live in Houston, so I'm familiar with the city people there.  Country people in Sweetwater as well.

So I will be seeing a lot more hunger in the future?I got a couple of books on composting from the missouri renewable energy fair that I went to last week.If more people can join efforts where they live to grow more food.They might be able to grow enough food to keep from starving.I have been reading both books.I guess a lot more people could go back to the land?One way or another?You can compost in your apartment and grow a few plants there.You can raise tomatoes in plastic milk cartons.One plant per carton.You can use worms to compost even in your kitchen.You just need to learn how.triffid

I think farming is part of the answer to avoiding starvation.Wherever you live there are groups of people gardening.Community projects would be a good place to start.Try to locate one where you live and get involved.A little bit of knowledge and lots of action.Get your hands dirty with dirt and humus.Learn to grow more food!triffid
