I wonder if I could somehow convince people that, like IT, food is obsolete? Perhaps, rather than large farms, we should go back to everybody growing their own? That would reduce the amount of fuel needed to get the food from the farm to the individual! Think of the cost savings! Think of how "green" this would be in that there would be more plants to absorb the CO2 and less emissions from trucks! WOW! We could also have individual "waste recycling" mini-plants to take the waste product (you know what I mean) emitted and recycle it as fertilizer.
