Every few years, a few economists start running figures and raise new fears of a Malthusian Catastrophe. The latest fears have been inspired by an article in the Wall Street Journal, which portends a lasting shifting in demand as of yet met by rising supply. In other words, as population grows and people eat more and get fatter, the Earth's ability to meet the demand is called into question, raising fears that we're all hurtling toward starvation.
Well, I have a novel solution -- a way to solve the world's impending agricultural crisis: Sacrifice Perez Hilton.The benefits are twofold: 1) It dramatically decreases the pressure on demand, as the world would no longer have a bottom feeder in the food chain sucking up all the high-fat content, and 2) by converting Perez into something edible, we can dramatically increase the world's supply of low-end food (you can just convert him into food court Chinese food and no one would know the difference).
Crisis averted!
