I'm very skeptical of the hosanna that we hear about organic this and that and I think his findings are an eye opener to those who insist on believing in fairy tales on either side of the debate.

I agree. Just like all energy is preserved and so are carbon and oxygen atoms. Having said that, I was addressing the food chain aspect, not the water management aspect. It has its own issues, but I agree with you that it's a local availability issue. I also know it's related to depletion of local aquifers and that an abundant supply of cheap energy would effectively solve any issues related to the supply of clean water.

I'm a member of a music group on Facebook.  Somebody posited this.

"John Lennon was killed by a fan.  Where are Kanye's fans when we need them?"

clearly you havent read what I've been writing on the subject then. wanna know
what forage is high in protien and frequently used for cattle?

alfalfa

the crude protein content of corn is about 9%, only 40% of that is capable of
being used by ruminants, alfalfa on the other hand contains 15%-21% crude protein
with a lot more that is digestible by ruminant, hay and pasture contain between
8% and 14% protein

so no, protein isnt the reason why they receive corn as a supplement in their
diets as opposed to the being a complete diet as most vegans/animal rights
activists would have you believe

I see photos of people claiming something to be a factory pig farm, typically a
large building and nothing more. I've never seen this in real life, I've seen pig
houses where pigs are bred, farrowing cages that help to support the survival of
piglets but I've never seen one of these 'factory pig farms'

of course we can break it all down to the dollars to see how feasible it is to
raise pigs in confinement just as I've done repeatedly with the claims on cows

Are you really that stupid?

Fossil water is, by definition, a non-renewable resource.[1] Whereas most aquifers are naturally replenished by infiltration of water from precipitation, fossil aquifers are those that get little or no recharge.[2] The extraction of water from such non-replenishing groundwater reserves (known as low safe-yield reserves) is known in hydrology as water mining.[3] If water is pumped from a well at a withdrawal rate that exceeds the natural recharge rate (which, in a fossil aquifer, is very low or zero), the water table drops, forming a depression in the water levels around the well.[2]

Aquifer drawdown or overdrafting and the pumping of fossil water increases the total amount of water in the hydrosphere, and may be responsible for up to one quarter of the Earth's total sea level rise since the beginning of the 20th century.[4]

where does that 'fossil water' go once it's pumped out of the aquifer? is ig gone
forever from the planet? was it ejected into the sun? maybe carried away by
aliens in their huge water consuming space craft?

Come on m8 you know why it's important - having a locally well accessible water source has many distinct advantages over being dependent on non-local sources of water.

I only eat meat because I work out and need protein. However, those who consume meat everyday with no type of physical exercise or weight lifting are at risk for health problems later. There was a documentary I watched some months back that proves how all our food is pumped with addictives and antibiotics given to the farm animals. I should just switch to plant based protein foods. If I was rich I would shop at whole foods but every item there is like $9 +. People get obese and unhealthy not just from eating junk food but eating the recommended "3 meals a day" when in reality you're supposed to space out your meals every two hours and make them smaller.

People also eat too fast. I eat really slow giving my body time to know when enough is enough. Plus everyone eats out 24/7. On top of wasting money and being lazy wanting self gratification everyday, cook your own meals in preparation for the week. I cook chicken mainly. And just eat that all week. Sometimes celery and broccoli. But I also eat lots of other things. :2cents:
