I hope Christopher Musa is watching.
@tinomadzungu@fanti_boy Look at it this way: if you put rats in a cage and gradually reduce their food supply, they adapt until they can't anymore. Eventually, they begin eating one another.
The real problem, however, is the human reducing their food. Instead, they end up eating one another.
