The current food shortage is going to get worse before it gets better – at least that’s the way the founder of CNN sees it.
Ted Turner was interviewed by CNBC’s Bob Pisani on the April 25 “Closing Bell.” He addressed the recent food shortages causing rationing and riots all over the globe and said it’s just a sign of things to come.
“There are a lot of different problems being caused by an ever-increasing number of people in a finite-sized world,” Turner said. “The resources of the planet just can’t keep up with the demand and I’m afraid this going to be more commonplace. I’m afraid we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg. It’s very complicated I do want to say.”

Where’s that Bird-Flu pandemic when we need it?
So off yourself, Ted. It's the least you can do.
Does that mean no more “Ted’s Montana Grill”?
I, for one, do not think his opinion is important.....
I'm Ted Turner and I live on a buffalo farm.
Will liberals like Ted blame the food riots on George W. Bush? Will the blame be with Republicans for not being compassionate enough to the starving people in the world?
I hate to agree with this character... but I think he is right on this one. And he is safe with all those buffalo burgers roaming around in Montana.
“There are a lot of different problems being caused by an ever-increasing number of liberal policies from finite-sized intellects,” Turner should have said. “The resources of the planet just can’t be used to the betterment of mankind and I’m afraid this is getting more commonplace. We’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg. Liberals make things very complicated... much more so than they should be.”

My Equity/Debt ratio is inversely proportional to the CNBC Communist/Conservative talking head ratio.........for the last 10 years it’s worked like a charm!
Oh, and if Ted Turner (or his wife Hanoi Jane) gets on CNBC, it’s a 10% Equity kicker!
I’m not sure it’s even that. As far as I can tell it’s down to corruption in Haiti, protectionism in Asia and scare headlines that would be over the top if Zombies were erupting out of the ground.
IMO there’s still loads more food than we can eat, even with the ethanol “Oil from Food” scandal.
Brilliant!
Rolleyes.....a Commie like him should know since they are doing everything in their power to create that very senario...
Funny, I remember in the 70’s and 80’s the food lines around the block in the USSR...and Reagan using the Mujahiddeen to attack the USSR in Afghanistan...
And they tried to tell us the Cold War ended with the fall of the Soviets...right...:/
“problems being caused by an ever-increasing number of people in a finite-sized world”
Apparently Ted has never flown in an airplane.
Well Ted....maybe you can talk all your commie pals into taking the kool aide express.....that would be a good start.......
This comment from the man who personally owns more acreage than any other single owner in the USA. He keeps taking land out of food production, and then he predicts riots.
What a maroon...even before he married Hanoi Jane.
Yes it's very easy to understand the root cause as well.
Our politicians refuse to let us drill for oil or build refineries and then they compound that insanity with the demand that we burn our food for fuel instead of the oil they won't let us drill for.
Consequently, the price for both oil and food is going through the roof. What a great plan!
Ted and his pals will be sitting out the revolution/holacaust/Armageddon on their ranches in Paraguay.
Besides, most of them are old enough that they figure they aren’t going to have be around for the aftermath, anyway.
Al Gore and the false global warming scare-mongering is responsible for this.
Might be more of a sure thing if you were to hire Robert Mugabe as a consultant once Zimbabwe is declared a success and if he retires alive.
If this moron got off the environmental nonsense we could feed everybody very easily.
What? Oh, never mind...
ever-increasing number of people in a finite-sized world
So teddy...quit eating. That would mean one less big, stupid mouth like yours to feed. Works for me.
If this moron got off the environmental nonsense we could feed everybody very easily.
“And Charleton Heston is going to have to investigate the real source of the protein.”
I really want to post a picture of Ms. Lewinsky right here.
Well, Ted, I for one see a bright side to your proclamation that global warming will cause mass food riots (and cannibalism). When it is a dozen degrees warmer in ten years, the food rioters won’t have to wear coats.
Ted: “Let them eat ethanol.”
And the Liberals think they are so intellectually brilliant, so above the “little people”. Ted Turner is a poster child for moronic stupidity. Nothing else can describe this idiot that obviously eats a bowl of stupid every morning for breakfast, and dines on a plate of elitism.
40 years until we all turn into cannibals folks, never forget...lol..! Were Earth a garden he would be the first weed the gardener would pull.
Doesn't Jack Simplot, the Idaho "potato king," still hold the title of the U.S.'s largest single land owner? He did a few years ago.
Unlike Useful Idiot Ted, Simplot uses his land to the best possible purposes: farming, cattle-ranching, feedlots, logging, dairies, mining, even aquaculture. In contrast, Turner wants literally to let the country go back to the wolves.
Hey Ted - eat me!
He used to be very bright. However, he appears to be suffering the ravages of aging, in particular a form of dementia similar to paranoia.
funny, when we were drilling for our own oil and didn't have libs withthe brilliant idea of burnign food for fuel, we had plenty of food. I'll tell you this, if there are food riots, I'm turning to cannibalism and making "Soylent Liberals" They boast of great taste, but are mostly bland without any real substance!
“However, he appears to be suffering the ravages of aging, in particular a form of dementia similar to paranoia.
That’s called Liberalism...
Yes, and he has probably had the disease all along, but due to senility he is now vocalizing when he used to keep his yap shut.
I know where there are lots of high plains buffalo and elk to eat! It is on a BIG ranch in Montana and New Mexico, and a few points in between.
That's why I'm gonna be a cannibal when I grow up!
