It's an interesting sentiment but it really isn't practical. There isn't enough local product to feed the kinds of populations we have anymore. At the rate cities are gobbling up surrounding farmland there will be even less as time goes on.

[BartSimpson]

+1 on that.

Well, no more pasteurization for me!

He want us to eat like we did 100 years ago when life expectancy for men was 51 and women 54?

That would certainly help with the global pension crisis.

That would certainly help with the global pension crisis.

It would also help with the worlds exploding population!

Exactly. The bigger issue is a lack of physical activity and over indulging.

It isn't practical because we make it impractical.

Many studies have shown the viability of large scale, vertical farming for urban centres.

Although...we might all have to become vegetarians to make it work, unless they figure out vertical animal husbandry .

Only wimps hook up horses to a plow. That's what the sturdily-built farm wife is for.

End the stupid 'free trade' laws and the farmers won't need the subsidies.
