Thomas Malthus thought the same thing toward the end of the 18th century. He did not figure in human ingenuity, much like his later followers.I am surprised that the article took the pessimistic tone that it did, given that it appeared in Scientific American

Ridiculous.

Grow your lettuce and tomatoes in containers, in the window, a cold frame or a greenhouse.

Slaughter your beef, butcher and grind, then freeze. You can buy freeze-dried or canned beef patties, if you think freezing is problematic. Or just freeze the butchered meat and grind as needed. Or use venison. It makes a great burger if you have some saved fat to add to it when grinding.

Cheese takes months to make and then keeps for months more.

Bake buns as needed. They can be baked in a Dutch oven over a fire or on a wood stove, if necessary.

Tomatoes are in season in the late summer. Lettuce is in season in spring and fall. Large mammals are slaughtered in early winter.

We still have lettuce in the greenhouse. Tomatoes would be just as easy. Large animals can be slaughtered year around now that we have refrigeration.

The only issue is cheddar, swiss, or muenster?

“What does the cheeseburger say...?” (yummmmm) a cheeseburger around would say “heeeellllpppppppp! I’m being eate-—” then perhaps “burp!”

The cheese does not necessary need to come from a cow, and neither does the meat. Meat can be ground up from just about anything...squirrel or opossum if necessary. Any green edible leaf will do in place of the lettuce. Catsup, pickels, and mustard keep for a very long time. Fresh tomatoes are not required, they make the burger better but are not mandatory. Onions keep for quite awhile but can be canned or dried, and for that matter so can the tomatoes.

I used to avidly read science magazines, Then they all were taken over by watermelons, and I gave up because the tidbits of useful information on scientific advancement was swamped in a deluge of left wing Eco-progaganda.

I refuse to pay for large helpings of drivel to wring out small portions of facts.

Scientific American has taken a pretty hard left turn in recent years. They're extremely concerned about global warming and they're no doubt concerned about all the CO2 released just to give us our supposedly-unhealthy cheeseburgers.

At any rate, here's the original.

It's a lot more optimistic.

Western Civilization needed a hearty breakfast and the cheeseburger provided it. That why both beef and cheese come from the same kind of animal. That's why New York was named after a strip steak and Wisconsin was invented.
Don't be diss’n the CheeseBurger!

The Democrats/liberals/progressives/socialists say that our planet can only sustain 30 million people. What they really mean is that with 30 million people, they can have the beach to themselves without all those little people getting in the way. Democrats - trying one more time to make their eugenics dreams come true.

What do we care about haughty, local food hipster nuts? They can cry while the rest of us eat cheeseburgers till we split because we’ve discovered the secret of not having to get everything that morning from around the block.

I guess he never heard of San Diego. We could grow tomatoes and lettuce year round year round when I lived there.

The first and only time my wife brought home Hamburger Helper. I told her the only thing that helps hamburger is “One bun. Mayo and a slice of cheddar cheese”.

This is how I like my cheeseburger...thick hunk of meat with swiss cheese and mushrooms on a large roll. No condiments. Just meat, cheese, mushrooms and bread.
