"Idée Magnifique"

The French, who know a thing or two about food and eating, have come up with a rational solution to the looming food-shortage problem all around the world. In a report titled Agrimonde, they, essentially, recommend that people in the developed countries eat less - 25% less - so that the rest of the world has more of the food supply. It's a simple idea that costs nothing, and has other advantages, like reducing obesity and all its accompanying health problems. The French, and Europeans in general, eat smaller portions than we do on this side of the Atlantic, so it's doable, without going hungry.

This has to be part of a worldwide agenda to cut back on consumption in general, so that there is more of everything to go around.
