I...I love having a smart, well-informed brother ;-)<br />I didn't actually read most of the article, I just got annoyed that he was attempting to burst my happy, healthy food bubble. Thanks for taking the time to think it over and shoot a hole in it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731836157567456670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855196012336193695.post-83698845110330958152010-08-25T07:31:19.754-07:002010-08-25T07:31:19.754-07:00First off, the guy has some good arguments. But I ...First off, the guy has some good arguments. But I was thinking about it and he spins things a little weird to make his argument. <br /><br />1) 5,000 calories go into making a head of lettuce. <br /><br />2) 100-300 calories from transportation, which is 14% of energy used.<br /><br />3)If only 8% of energy consumed comes from farming, then the 5,000 calories he's talking about come from the sun, right? Oil versus sun energy calories are a little different-he's right. Solar energy is renewable and clean.<br /><br />4) So it appear to me that someone else is comparing apples to oranges.<br /><br />5) He also fails to mention the calories of fuel consumed when we fly in aspargus from Chili...<br /><br />food for thought, hahaGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368515270150160544noreply@blogger.com
