Environment

Hodgie it seems me and you are having back and forth conversations since no one else writes on this great blog.
As to the organic food, movement. I completely disagree with you and think it is one of the best things to happen to the American public. While you are correct that it does take more land to produce the food without fertilizers and pesticides, it does make for a cleaner environment. And we are literally killing the earth. Not to mention we are changing animals, feeding them only corn which are meant to be grazers and not only hurting the animals but ourselves as well. The fertilizers and pesticides are causes numerous cancers as well as completely destroying our ground water, lakes rivers and streams. read http://www.sierraclub.org/cleanwater/waterquality/deadzone.asp
For those who don't I'll summarize, basically all the shit Hodge wants put on our crops pollutes our freshwater and makes it way down the Mississippi and cause a dead zone in the gulf that is 4200-7000 square miles that nothing can grow or live. That's pretty damn serious.
And subsidising farming is ridiculous, but its political, food means power and trade. And farming isn't cut down cause if one farmer goes out of business another buys the land and it never left alone to be natural.
You talk about lollipop politics, but what about lollipop environment economics, what you are proposing about all the fertilizers is that exactly.
This is a good subject for me, because I feel we are being severely environmentally irresponsible.
