I recently discovered your site and I find a lot of insight in your writing. It seems like you've done a great deal of research on these subjects.

From this article, I can't tell if you're against all agriculture or just "industrial" agriculture. Do you feel humans should never have adopted the practice?

That does lead to my next question. Animals require more resources to raise than plants, correct? Do you feel we could feed our planet (or even our country) if everyone followed your diet?

Hello, I know I'm late to the discussion, but seriously what makes you think we can`t feed 7 billion or more people with the adequate methods? So far no scientific explanation has been given about why we think this world is overpopulated. Do we really know the capacity of this world, respect to what we are overpopulated? What standard do you apply in reaching a conclusion there are too many people? Do you apply the criteria of (a) the world’s ability to produce enough food to feed everyone or (b) the ability of each individual country to feed its people? We know conventional agriculture cannot do this, but maybe, just maybe paleo friendly husbandry practices and organic agriculture will be able to do it however a serious overhaul of all major contaminating industries and energy generating sources has to be made. A shift to cleaner energies (not wind or biofuels but hidrogen, efficient solar and thorium along with LENR) could have happened several years ago, were it not for the Powers that be.

The same people behind birdseed brigade is looking for an excuse to wipe out most of humanity, just so they get a planetwide country club (Georgia Guidestones). Please don`t follow their faulty and deceptive logic and statements.

First off, I want to thank you for an excellent, inspiring blog! Also, I do want to read the Gnoll Credo, but I'd really appreciate an ebook version, is this available from somewhere?

With regards to the question of sustainability, this lecture by Allan Savory was a great revelation to me, and it has incredibly implications. Watch this lecture, then imagine reclaiming the fertile crescent, acre by acre, using these methods. Turning this arid desert hell into fertile grassland, roamed by millions upon millions of livestock. I believe it's possible.

My response is not denial Stanton, for me the only way out of this mess is our ingenuity if we have any left. If Malthus predictions had been true, we wouldn`t even be here. By the way Mr. Stanton if you believe the so called Global Warming after all that`s happened (failed models, weather irregular patterns that don't fit the warm earth model as well as e-mails that prove collusion between scientists in order to continue with the script to the public or Climategate), one could say you are the one in denial. If you look at earth history with unbiased eyes you would most likely understand that more severe changes have been experienced before (There is a reason Greenland was called like that at the beginning of the Middle Ages) and the current Global Warming propaganda is no more than a hoax http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va'…..;aid=17769 , http://iceagenow.com/Its_the_Sun_stupid.htm

By the way I agree with you on this: Under the current model of development we don`t have much time as species. Maybe less than a century before a plague, a war or disruption in our supply chains either at the origin (crop massive failure) or in the middle (natural disasters) kills billions of our species. What I suggested was a change of paradigm not only in agriculture but in how we behave as species, how we conduct our operations (industry, consumption pattern, power consumption and energy resources, urbanization models, exploration, exploitation of resources, even in medicine, right now medications of all sorts from contraceptives to anti-depressants are polluting the seas and the soil) if we are to preserve this planet. Our current situation can be compared with a child that poops in his lunch pack. Both of us know it will lead to no good.

I don`t know what the answer is but I know as a supply chain professional that "the nothing can be done just let it all go to the Hell" approach has never resolved any problem in human history. And that`s the approach the elite that rules this world is taking because they think they can. Don't believe me?

And of course we cannot forget to mention CNN founder and multibillionaire Ted Turner. Turner is a member of the Society of the Pacifica House, the secret society of Brown University which is very similar to the Skull and Bones at Yale University; it is interesting to note that Turner is also a long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Turner is also UN supporter and founder of the United Nations Foundation. He was quoted as saying; "Personally, I think the population should be closer to when we had indigenous populations, back before the advent of farming. Fifteen thousand years ago, there was somewhere between 40 and 100 million people. But [population researchers] Paul and Anne Ehrlich have convinced me that if we're going to have a modern infrastructure, with commercial airlines and interstate highways around the world, we're going to need about two billion people to support it." In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he stated; "We're too many people; that's why we have global warming," and that "everybody in the world's got to pledge to themselves that one or two children is it." It should be noted that Ted Turner has five children. http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/news/stories/2008….._0404.html, Tracey C. Rembert, "Ted Turner: Billionaire, Media Mogul … And Environmentalist" (Interview), E Magazine, January/February 1999, Volume X, number 1, p. 10

Unfortunately I think millions will die before real change can be enacted, but once we have changed we will be more rational and able to sustain a greater population if need be (don't worry we'll have less people at the end of this century than you think).

The issue is uncontrolled population growth and those who, like JM, not only support but encourage it. There really is no way to feed all the people we have in a sustainable way, and the idea of even voluntary population control has been silenced since the time of Reagan and the compromises he made to get the support of the Christian right.

Well said. What drives me nuts is that 99% of the population thinks a vegetarian diet is the healthiest diet and that "vegan" is the ultimate in health. And they have learned this from the popular media. I follow the Weston A. Price diet of whole foods--raw dairy, pastured meat and eggs from small farmers, seafood, wild-caught fish, vegetables, and a little fruit and soaked nuts. I just eliminated rice (my only grain). I eat no processed foods or sweets. My lunch at work consists of leftovers from my dinners and I never partake of the corporate pizza lunches (which would make me very ill), or the corporate candy. The other day, the receptionist said to a new employee, "Margaret always eats so healthy" and then he said to me, "oh, are you a vegetarian?". I just wanted to scream. I'm so tired of the assumption that vegetarian=healthy. My cousin informed me that she and her husband are now "mostly vegan" to be "proactive" about their health. I suppose it's better than the Standard American Diet, but they won't get the nutrients they need over the long-term.

The birdseed brigade! I love it - you made me laugh out loud.

J.S.:

Read the book, follow the site, love it!

A one time vegetarian I've converted myself and a few family, friends and co-workers to follow a "Paleo" approach, all have had astounding improvement in health and happiness.

Recently, relatively affordable grass fed beef has become available here on Oahu providing a sustainable food source and income for local ranchers. This is only possible because the demand has been recognized and demand rose because people are being enlightened by sites like yours.

Keep up the good work!
