So sad. The baby (to old age) does not need all of this consumption. It is the system surrounding that has metastasized such that the baby is fed industrially pureed foods made and packed and shipped around the world excessively using materials and energy and time unneeded to raise a village.

Likely there are villages with nothing to ship and needing everything shipped to them.
Certainly there are village-nations with resources who should be exporters but instead import the wealth of other nation-villages.

It takes everything spoken of in the OP and more to feed artificial-corporate-people.

The mathematics of the number of all the people on earth times the 1.37 million kilograms each compared to the total weight of the earth should tell us when we will have eaten the last rock, keeping in mind exponential growth in the world of the desired.
