Hmmmm it's one issue. Micronutrient deficiencies. We can solve this issue today at cost Y. Or we can pay 10*Y to reduce 1/10 of the issue in 50-70 years time.

Hmmmm it's one issue. Micronutrient deficiencies. We can solve this issue today at cost Y. Or we can pay 10*Y to reduce 1/10 of the issue in 50-70 years time. This thesis,'if true' is a small part of the nutrient problem, it won't even touch the poorest of the poor in the western world for instance. Because once you pull people a little above poverty nutrients in foods are meaningless. Micronutrient deficiencies are solvable today at 'low' cost (~zero cost compared to the global warming issue) They are considered perhaps the leading problem in the world today.
