I read an article that claims that food is becoming scarcer and more valuable, not only due to supply-demand-economics101-warawara but due to industries competing for our food.
Now this is interesting.
Apparently the pet food industry will be $56 Billion in size in 2014 and $96 Billion in 2015. One of the reasons quoted is because the Chinese are getting more and more pets.
Made me think of another supply/demand equaliser, where some other nations are fighting back by having munchkins on the menu. It all balances out, at the end? Eat or be eaten?
I wonder if anyone calculated the enormous impact the growth of the international dog population will have on the manufacturing of slippers. Slippers seem to be a primary food source of my little puppies. Just after sneakers. And lawns? Why do my pedigree pooches prefer to rather eat my lawn than the balanced protein and fat nibblets that are served to them?
Where is all of this going?
Is the world going to the dogs?
