Re: Hmmmm
Yukk!!! Hopefully we are not too precious about it - but for many years now we have only eaten meals home-cooked from basic ingredients - nothing processed, and meats and vegetables resourced locally. Probably there are some pesticides but we try to avoid the mass market food full of growth hormones/antibiotics/gm etc.
In the UK and many other parts of the world, farmers are paid not to produce crops! This combined with the fairly sudden change to biofuels has had a huge effect on available resources worldwide. If the land that farmers were being paid to let lie fallow was put back into production and the surpluses that are stored until they are unusable were rationalised, I think the current shortage would be easily solved.
