Wow, I feel stupid now. Thanks!

Just bought Civ 4 and Beyond the Sword today and for some reason this odd thing has happened that's making playing the game impossible. All of the food surplus goes to the production, so my city stays at population 1 forever. Since I'm new to Civ 4 I thought at first there must be a tech to...
