Does "Agricultural Production" include those Ag products not going into people's mouths?

There would be plenty of food if the americans would quit eating 4 times as much as they need. I went to all inclusive resort and the americans were embarrassing. They wasted enough food to feed a family every day. Good grief. OH>..by the way..i am an american but learned to eat off of an 8" plate and not the buffet plates etc.

What is with that. Why cant ppl see what that is doing to themselves. 100 extra calories a day is an extra 10 pounds a year. 100 cals is a small handful of most things. A snickers candy bar is 700 cals. Pepsi in big cup 600 cals, so you see the problem. People get enough calories from snacks every day to gain like hogs.

Oh i get it. My wife is a doctor and she gets it. All the whales coming in knees hurt, back hurts, diabetic, heart disease, kidney failure, lungs bad, cant move, etc. So yah...eat it ALL for gods sake and keep her in business.

THere is a thot that we are all our brothers keeper and YES, if we all thot that there woudl be enough to go around. So dont complain bout the price of gas as other ppl. are doing what you are doing, using as much as ty want IF they can pay for it.

Then if a doctor tells them that they have to exercise, stop eating certain things they just go see a different doctor. I've known people who have done this. People just don't want to hear it, they'd rather keep doing what they've been doing.

Could you imagine what would happen to the health of this country if people cut out fast food and exercised an hour per day?

YES, the economy would be saved. Cuz all that money spent on healthcare would go to Walmart. hah.

I know, they ask for a pill to heal their knee. all the while 400 lbs of ugly fat is pushing that old knee to death. Or for something else.

I hate to excercise but decided I could do it while watching TV. Got a bike to ride indoors and time goes so fast while watching a show. An hour slides past. If the television was hooked up to the pedals, we woudl be all bone thin and in good shape. hah.

Just a sad state of affairs. NOW for the KILLER COMMENT> I truly think someone needs to LIMIT how much food you get every day.
Can you IMAGINE the screams? OMG, how dare you make me be healthy. But soon insurance will be charging more just like life insurance does now. And rightfully so. Why do I pay more for mine so ppl can eat like pigs and use up MY insurance pool money. Let em pay if they are a risk.

Well, I've made my monthly trek across Illinois and The corn is certainly up. The old saying was knee high by the forth of July. It's well past that. Man this stuff grows fast!

There's hope.
