I like how the most rational distribution of resources is a firm known while a healthy diet is a fuzzy concept to you, Renton. Both are fuzzy concepts, but you never allow yourself to admit the things you don't or can't know when you predict a free market future.
Plus, Capitalism becomes an umbrella for a whole lot of stuff when you say "has already gone a long way to solving starvation". And if you really dug into it, it would be only one factor and likely not the largest.
Bigger factors than capitalism? This guy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process
I guess the point of my post is that you should treat all of your statements about capitalism like you treat statements about healthy foods.
