Eating Fossil Fuels

Everything in our life uses hydrocarbons including the food that we eat. Every piece of food that we put into our mouths has been produced with fossil fuels in one way or another. For example, farmers use an enormous amount of hydrocarbons on their farms from irrigation systems to tractors to seeding to the transportation of their crops. However, fossil fuels are running out and our country is going to be in total shock when it happens. Without these fossil fuels farmers will not be able to keep farming and provide our society with the basic crops. Also, with the decline of fossil fuels it is making food prices soar. People will soon not be able to afford the basic food necessities and become starved because they cannot afford food and support their families. Our society is trying to do everything to prevent it from happening including using more fossil fuels for technological advances. Our society as we know it is going to end and we are not ready to handle that. Our society is projected to double by 2050, which is not an option. We can barely support the population we have now and fossil fuels are running out. In order to regain control of our society and fossil fuels crisis we need to decrease our population by one third. This of course will not fix the fossil fuel or oil crisis but it will help regain control of our society and begin to back track and stop trying to advance our society. We need to find alternative uses to fossil fuels such as resorting back to old farming ways. Farmers could do more manual labor and use manure to fertilize their crops.

Questions:
1) When we run out of fossil fuels it will be more than likely that we will no longer have modern fuels. We will run out of fossil fuels so quickly that there will be no alternatives and farming will become to a complete halt. Most farms could not run because they do not have the money or fossil fuels to run their farms and tractors and plows. Also, most of our society will go through starvation because there will no longer be cheap food available.
2) The U.S should learn from North Korea to not be so dependent on fossil fuels. They were so dependent on fossil fuels it caused an agricultural downfall, which lead most of their society into starvation. It also caused them to loose massive amount of oil and coal which everything in their country ran on.

1) why are people refusing to believe that we are going to run out of fossil fuels very soon ? do they think that by ignoring this reality that it will affect our society ?
2) If there is an agricultural collapse what will America do in order to avoid a food crisis and starvation of our society? Will we go back to old farming ways?
3) If there were an agricultural collapse in the U.S. would it affect us the same or worse than the agricultural collapse in North Korea?
