Ugh, I can guarantee I have never in my life participated in rainbow-looking anything... I'm more of a:

No one ever points out the the majority of crops grown in the US go towards feeding cattle and other livestock; if people could cut down drastically on their low grade beef consumption, these resources could be redirected and world hunger would be greatly alleviated, both now and in the future.

Absolutely... there are many other reasons to become at least a quasi-vegetarian than the direct moral contradiction of the slaughterhouse... the domino effects on the environment and global economy are shocking when investigated...
People need to stop having kids.
Nobody wants them and nobody cares about your legacy
2054? i'll be long gone..
what needs to happen is Europe needs to stop overreacting about genetically engineered food. The EU has a ban on them, and so do most Asian nations. America produces so much food that we destroy tons of it to maintain price levels. We have the technology to feed the world, but ignorance is keeping that from happening.
I wouldn't be too worried though, this is just like those ads in the 80's about how all life on Earth would be dead by 2005 b/c of deforestation. nature always finds way to make it work, either through human initiative or something else. If the population is really going to exceed carrying capacity I am sure there will be a nice plague, war, drought or something else to thin the herd. Historically 10-20 years before a huge major war the birthrate of males jumps very high. It's nature's way of providing soldiers. When Europe was getting over-populated, bang-o, the black death. I would expect a major plague to spread through south asia any year now.

But what would Mr. Burger King do then?
World Hunger and overpopulation?
Bullshit (http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/home.do).

That's what every generation says before the next. When I first read the 2054 thing I initially thought the same thing, but it's not fair to dump all these problems on them...
Maybe some genocide is in order? Rather than pushing our problems onto the next generation, why don't we just wipe out 7/8 of them all and encourage using strong contraceptives and abortions so we can reduce the chance of a population outburst again.
Hey, just a thought...

That's an awfully free (read: incorrect) use of the word "genocide."
the western society is dying. Here in croatia more people died than were born, for years. The major increase in population happens in Asia, and maybe in Africa.
