Seems like most people didn't bother reading the article.

This isn't about feeding the US, it's about feeding the world. According to these studies, adopting organic farming in developed nations would result in a lower yield. However if underdeveloped nations were to adopt organic farming they could produce far great yields than if they attempt conventional agricultural practices.

So, if the entire world converted to organic farming, there would be much more food per person than trying to feed the world with petrochemicals.

But apparently the argument is that this doesn't matter because you still need to transport produce and work the land, and ultimately, it is apparently a bad thing to feed the world because it means more people will die.

But this does dispel the myth that petrochemical agriculture is the only way to produce enough food.

Americans will starve before they'll get their hands dirty. They'll spend $10/person on fast food even while their finances are crashing, rather than start out a garden with a few hens out back.

Jared Diamond's example of the Greenlanders describes it perfectly - Americans will die if they can't have things the way they're used to, the Greenlanders wouldn't eat fish, and when suburban Americans become homeless they always leave nice lawns behind.

So most people will not change. Therefore, have a nice die-off.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bshirt', 'I')sn't that something?

Even in my tiny town in the plains there's "nothing" that gets folks motivated like mowing lawns. I swear most people just live for that stuff.

To this day, not one single resident here has showed any worries or interest whatsoever regarding PO/GW/fiat currency/national debt/etc....but they're 100% focused on "mowing".

I just don't get it.
