What Happens When The Sugar Runs Out?

IF YOU EXCUSE THE ANALOGY, I AM GOING TO COMPARE PEOPLE TO YEAST TO MAKE MY POINT HERE. LAST NIGHT ON THE RADIO NEWS THE REPORTER SAID THAT THE WORLD'S POPULATION NOW IN 2015 IS 7.33 BILLION PEOPLE BUT BY 2030 THAT POPULATION NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 8.5 BILLION PEOPLE! HMMMMMMM, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, 1.25 BILLION MORE PEOPLE IN JUST 15 YEARS.

WELL IF YOU HAVE READ THIS BLOG FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, YOU KNOW I HAVE DONE POSTS ON THE NIGHTMARE THAT IS HAPPENING IN AFRICA TODAY. 

IT USED TO BE FAMINE AND DISEASE KEPT THOSE POPULATIONS IN CHECK, BUT EVER SINCE SIR BOB GELDOF DID "DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS?" FOLLOWED BY "WE ARE THE WORLD" USA FOR AFRICA WRITTEN BY LIONEL RITCHIE AND MICHAEL JACKSON, MONEY - FOOD AND MEDICINE FLOODED THE CONTINENT SO MUCH SO THAT FAMINE IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYWHERE ON THE CONTINENT UNLESS ONE OF THE MILITARY DICTATORS THERE IMPOSES IT UPON HIS ENEMIES.

SINCE 1985, THE POPULATION OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA HAS D-O-U-B-L-E-D! THAT'S RIGHT, IN 30 SHORT YEARS, THE POPULATION OF THE ENTIRE CONTINENT HAS DOUBLED! TAKE FOR EXAMPLE UGANDA WHICH HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST FERTILITY RATES IN THE WORLD. DURING AN UGANDAN WOMAN'S FERTILE YEARS SHE WILL BECOME PREGNANT 20 TIMES WITH 9 CHILDREN SURVIVING TO BIRTH. BUT HERE IS THE REAL STUNNER..., BY 2060 - THE POPULATION OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA IS EXPECTED TO DOUBLE AGAIN! THAT'S RIGHT IN JUST 45 SHORT YEARS THE POPULATION WILL BE DOUBLE OF WHAT IT IS TODAY IN 2015!

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SUGAR RUNS OUT? YOU SEE, THESE COUNTRIES ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON WESTERN COUNTRIES FOR FINANCIAL AID, FOOD AID AND MEDICINE. IF IT WERE NOT FOR WESTERN COUNTRIES  INTERVENING, THESE COUNTRIES WOULD STILL BE MIRED IN DISEASE AND FAMINE. CAN THESE COUNTRIES EVER BECOME SELF SUFFICIENT? NO, IT'S HIGHLY DOUBTFUL, THEY WILL FOREVER BE DEPENDANTS OF THE GENEROSITY OF OTHER COUNTRIES WHOSE CITIZENS PAY HUGE TAXES THAT ARE THEN REDISTRIBUTED TO PLACES LIKE AFRICA BECAUSE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SORRY CONTINENT.

IF THE SPIGOT IS TURNED OFF, THE WELL RUNS DRY, OR THE SUGAR RUNS OUT..., WELL YOU WOULD SEE A CONTINENT IN CRISIS ON A SCALE, MAGNITUDE AND PROPORTION NEVER ENVISIONED.

YOU SEE, PEOPLE ARE LIKE YEAST. TAKE AWAY THEIR FOOD SOURCE AND THEY WILL DIE OFF EN MASSE. WE ARE NOTHING BUT YEAST SEEKING TO EAT AND REPRODUCE AS LONG AS THERE IS PLENTY OF SUGAR. TAKE AWAY THE SUGAR AND YOU DIE.
