Who doesn't have a clue honey?
Do YOU have any idea about the environmental problems with mass grain and
vegie production? Do YOU understand about where the pesticides and
fertislisors go? Do you understand about the link between blue green algae
and fertilisor? Do you understand the link between the raising of the
water table (salination) and crop production which has cut down all the
trees?
Do you understand that it is not WHAT we eat but how it is produced that is
the problem?
Just how far are you going to save the planet, Amy?
Note for meat eaters: It is possible to get free range chicken, and line
caught fish. But if you must eat red meat - don't beat yourself up about
it.
It is sometimes possible to get vegies grown without artificial nasties,
but what about the other products we buy?
Where will the guilt end?
