5. The Projections on Food Production

are, to put it mildly, at odds with history:

The association between food deprivation and social instability has been demonstrated again and again in recent history.

"The world is producing three times as much food today as in 1960; the population is two times what it was in 1960, so there's 41% higher food production per capita."

"During the period when world population was doubling, from 1960 to 2000, no one would have thought that prices for food and non-energy commodities would be falling, and end up at about half in 2000 of what they were in 1960."

"The shift from large families making low investments in their children to small families making high investments in their children is a fundamental dimension of economic development during this period."
