I think within a decade most of us will be eating whatever calories are in front of us and glad to have them. Especially as, like most of the cornerstones of modern civilization, the way we eat now is mathematically unsustainable.

actually it's very sustainable for ppl in America. we export a shitton of food (and through that water), we just gotta stop. were one of the less dense countries and have plenty of arable land etc.

i do feel for the rest of the world tho, they prolly gonna have to take a downgrade in they standard of living.

were a net exporter by $ and a lot of what we import is expensive shit without much calories (cofee, chocolate) not actually calories.

Any source for this claim of unsustainability of current food production?

Current food production relies heavily on fossil fuels, so it’s inherently unsustainable. Which is not to say that it can’t be changed to become sustainable, I’d say the jury is still out on that question.
