Not to mention the time it takes to come to fruition.

It's hard to put effort or energy into anything when you're
hungry,weak,and stressed. Especially something you've never done
before.

I have to chime in and agree with Mr. D'hondt. It takes a few seasons to
prepare a field properly, and years to develop the skills to farm, couple
that with the fact that people expect change to occur within less than an
election cycle supported by bobble heads still talking about 'competition'
as a remedy to modern economic problems and I think the sort of 'change'
people a driven towards isn't a pretty picture. I have to filter this with
my own tendency to be pessimistic and over reactive of course, but I think
this is reflected in the polarism were seeing in most of the world today.

Will people who don't know how to grow or don't want to change their
attitude? How bad does it have to get first?

I am afraid the most likely change in attitude might be slightly different
than what you expect Paul. Growing when one gets hungry will take too long.
So taking whatever is available is possible the profession with the most
growth potential?
