[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2067598, member: 6467"] The population of the world is surviving. That is not the same as living well. Much of the world relies on the USA wheat harvest. Allegedly one factor in the fall of the Soviet Union was the inability of the wheat crop to feed the population which required them to buy Western wheat. In survival terms anything which allows a member of the population to survive to sexual maturity and breed is a massive factor. Anything which kills off mainly people who are beyond breeding age is trivial in evolutionary terms. Without the modern food industry millions if not billions of people would starve to death each winter, more if there had been a poor summer. Arguably there would be less diabetes (although as stated above diabetes is usually not something which prevents successful breeding) but the death of billions is a very high price to pay to improve the general diet of an ageing population.
