What's even worse about that USDA report is how it rely on industrial farming practices, the conveyor belt principle, Synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, direct gene manipulations, and of course fossil fuels as its base

Not doing it would be looking down into an abyss, as losing industrial farming is losing around 50% of humanity, that used to get feed by it. And that is also ignoring everything surrounding it, as global warming, water, aquifers and desalination plants as well as topsoil, fungus, forests, urbanization's, eco and biodiversity.

Your governments are pretty good on ignoring those kind of things. And as it seems, getting better.

Don't look at it as me white washing f.ex oil and gas. Neither your government. I'm just pointing out that laws, regulations and your way forward ultimately is a job for your government. And, that if they fail in it you blaming oil and gas doesn't change a thing.

I'm also stating that we're all players in a same game, oil and gas just our new extremes of it.

There will be no possibility of a blame game once it exist, presuming democracy is what you want?


and if you don't? Well, that should tell you something about yourself

There's always a face to save, and no price too high if you ask those losing it.

Hope you feel your patriotic glow rising. You will need it
