To end perpetual hunger, why not abolish villages?

These types of burials mean people who died in the past and today, are taking away land from those who will be born tomorrow.

The next step, would be to encourage — or legislate for — cremation. Thus if you have two acres of land, you should not be allowed to bury more than six people on it. When the family exhausts its “burial quota”, the rest of the fellows who die should be taken to the incinerator.

Stuff like this sounds crazy in Africa, but if we don’t move in this direction, in the years to come, a lot more of us will be going hungry.
