By the year 2050, experts predicts that the world population would rise to about nine billion. ”To meet the needs of that many people, humans will have to produce as much food in the next 40 years as they have in the last 8000,” says Jason Clay, senior vice president of market transformation for the World Wildlife Fund (Ingeno 2013). This is clearly because our population is increasing enormously at an exponential rate. David Jenkins, professor in the Nutritional Sciences department at the University of Toronto, suggests that eating plants would not only lower cholesterol and blood pressure but also be more sustainable than livestock production for the future population. One of the reasons why experts like him agree with having to double crop production by 2050, is due to the increasing demand for crops to feed livestock. Through research, Jenkins offers some dietary methods, especially the Simian diet, which could help feed the population at that point in time.

Using a graph describing the protein delivery efficiency energy (g protein/MJ), it is found that the more protein intake the less efficient. Another choice he suggests is the consumption of fish. Most health agencies recommend the consumption of fish because of its Omega-3 fatty acid. Since these are polyunsaturated fatty acids, it contains at least two double bonds which makes them more flexible, simple and interactive, which we studied earlier in grade 12 biology. The Omega-3 fish fat is good for brain, bowls, nerves and generally good for the heart. According to his research, the catch of fish has been significantly high, however, it seems we cannot catch at a better rate. Unfortunately, by 2050 there would be no fish stocks left. This is due to the wide range of ecological problems, for example, pollution leading to growing numbers of toxic algae and
