Not wanting "organic" bread

[OakLeaf]

We do not (and cannot) produce enough food to feed even our own population with these methods.

Not so quick with the "cannot." The info-box on this page has a nice summary.


Spray-on organic pancakes.... Forget the Froot Loops, that just makes me want to have a pancake spray fight.

I still stand by 'cannot'. I'm not saying that you cannot produce as much using organic methods. I am saying that without equipment, refridgeration and the ability to ship food, we cannot feed our population (organic or not). Human population boomed because we could feed it. But, our ability to feed it is artificial and inflated. Take away those inputs and the overall yields drop and people go hungry. And additionally, we have large population centers in areas not conducive to agriculture - so local is definitely not always possible. But again, there's so much to it. If it were an easy fix, there would be no debate and we'd all be living large on healthy, fresh, local food and the small farmers would be respected and the big 'evil' agribusinesses would have gone the way of the dodo.

That sounds like a disgusting mess in the making!
