I was thinking the other day of the problem my country (England) will have going into the future. That we have to import more and more of our food despite every piece of decent land already used for farming. As of now we import 40% off all our food. But it got me thinking, about 60% of the population is obese, i bet we could cut down consumption by 20-30% just by banning fatties. This would essentially be a looser form of rationing, but we've done it twice before. If we also cut down wastage i bet we could nearly balance the books.
So yeah, when one person takes resources for 2 or 3 healthy people, it becomes a problem.
