Dean Jenger was the first to synthesize bamboo into sustainable and attainable food for the entire world.
He was thirteen when he submitted his product to his local state science fair. This was in 2087, the same year as the rise of our race's first twenty Sub-Orbital Weather Stations.
An unknown government agency contacted Dean after he won both state and regional science competitions.
After his discovery, and a deal struck with the agency, he moved to Italy to an unknown villa to visit his aunt Cheryl.
Since the rise of the sub-orbital weather stations, the tension revolving potential Spy Stations has risen to the point of attack between Greece and Ireland. Military action between these two has bred suspicion throughout the world.
He has not been seen since, and multiple hoaxes of his death have been reported.
The US government now owns all rights and formulations for the bamboo sustenance.
Each world government has agreed to distribute this synth. food for free to its people.
Nearly 15% of the world hunger has decreased within two weeks of distribution. The population has obtained this food, and has begun to distribute it within ungoverned third-world civilizations.

A shipment of the BambooFood has been derailed and crashed off of the East coast of the US, reporters have images coming in now.
In other news, the International Weather Stations are reportedly going over-budget, and scheduled to be shut down within the next year.
Citizens of Southern California have reported sightings of Dean Jenger, but no proof has been provided.

Since the lost shipment of BambooFood, the world has experienced a lull in this abundance of food-- riots are breaking out in Uganda and those of Mali have begun to encroach on nearby treaty boarders to scavenge.
There is now speculation that a bad shipment of BambooFood has been distributed in rural parts of China. A recall is ordered, but those in those small villages have little to no means of being notified. Symptoms of the small shipment are primarily vomiting, dizziness, and in some cases, even death in he elderly.
There are now reports that this shipment has reached as close to home as our own impoverished and homeless. Since the discovery, the effects are now known to include fatigue, ravenous appetite, and even coma.
Due to recent events and strict budget issues since the declaration of war in the East, the multiple abandoned space stations have been re-outfitted with means to support micro-communities of the homeless, elderly, and abandoned children.
The government has given a statement today that they will be investigating this recall, and urges the public to stay away from BambooFood as much as possible. Due to the non-profit nature of this product, they cannoy afford a physical recall.
Scattered instances of madness and blindness have been heard, but the government states that there has been no substantial evidence that this is caused by the recall.
A factory manufacturing BambooFood has been bombed, the fire still blazes and there is little hope for any survivors. Reports indicate that the CEO of BambooFood Inc. was inside of the building.

Today is the anniversary of the discovery of BambooFood, and a dark day it is. This food alone has eradicated 70% of the world population, in a single-most terrible act of bio-terrorism that our race has seen. Though Dean Jenger is reportedly deceased, he is forever a wanted man.
It has been 23 years since I began this logging. I'm running low on the food I've stored since the BioDepression. Farmers stopped farming, everyone ate BambooFood. The soil is barren and cannot be saved-- at least not by me.
I hear that the people in the Weather Stations are still alive-- not that I can tell. We haven't been able to contact them since before the BF pandemic. But sometimes I think that I see flowers floating down from the heavens on Sundays. Always Sundays.

As I near my end, all I can wonder is this:
Is there anybody out there?

"Why is the ground so brown?" Joan asks her father, elderly but spry, as they lean over the lip of their Sub-orbital home.
"Well, some say that it was bound to happen, global warming and such." The two of them sat on the edge of their island in the sky, feeling the lush grass between their fingers.
He continued, "Some people think that it was just the end, or war ravaged the planet."
"Do you think they're okay down there?" She whispered, as if speaking too loudly would disturb the cloud-break that allowed them to gaze down upon the Earth.
"I don't know. But we're okay."
