So the ratio of population, now versus then, is roughly
676k + "balance" 750k
----------------------- ~= ---------- = 10
60k + estimated 15K 75k
and the ratio of food production,
750k * 5% 3750 k%
--------------- = ----------- = 1
75k * 50% 3750 k%
So, the amount of food production now is roughly the same as it was then
and it has not grown as the population has grown.
