When I brought up pollution and food shortages, I hope you didn'think I was thinking this way. I mentioned it was the whachko's that say these things.
I was at a regional church meeting this summer and they were basically blaming farmers for the so called food shortage. every African country that has starving people is controlled by military dictators. In the instance of Zimbabwa, they had a food surplus when the evil, white farmers ran things. Mumbgabe took all the land away from the white farmers, ran them out of the country, and gave it to the blacks who had no business sense, and now they are starving.
And yes, someone mentioned urban lawn care. They put on way more chemicals on a per acre basis than farmers would ever begin to.
Lots of misinformation and ignorance about food and farming. It is just going to get worse.
