Default Feeding the World?
(Don Foster) writes:

An exploration into the notion of how Iowa farmers would fare in feeding
the world produced an unlikely result: the soy and corn crops of
thirty-five Iowa(s) would feed the worlds population at 3500 Cal./day.

And the resultant malnourishment would kill people fast enough that there
would quickly be a large surplus.

Where did you get the idea that humans can thrive on a diet of corn and
soy?
