"This writer is actually hoping that crop failures will make the fat 'gluttons, disappear

That might also tend to make the "beautiful people" to appear mighty tasty.

It would be a modern day version of Swift's Modest Proposal (words changed):

"Many other advantages might be enumerated: For Instance, the addition of some thousand Carcases in our exportation of Barreled Beef. The Propagation of Swines Flesh, and Improvement in the Art of making good Bacon, so much wanted among us by the great destruction of Pigs, too frequent at our Tables, which are no way comparable in Taste, or Magnificence to a well grown, fat glutton, which Roasted whole will make a considerable Figure at a Lord Mayor's Feast, or any other Publick Entertainment. But this, and many others I omit being studious of Brevity."
