Whenever I get backed into a corner by radical vegans telling me meat is murder, I want to grab them by their lapels and take them out to the family owned farms here in Sonoma -- most of which are raising lamb -- and show how these people are actually protecting and enhancing the land with their efforts -- not to mention that these are people who are raising kids here, supporting the community and paying taxes all with the proceeds of that meat. And a tomato can be an ecologically dreadful thing, especially when you've read Tomatoland by Barry Estabrook. The centerpiece of the book is the toll that's taken when tomatoes are grown in areas of Florida that are suitable only for palmetto grass.Lisa Paulhttp://leftcoastcowboys.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-59682016773686341432012-07-21T06:23:01.159-05:002012-07-21T06:23:01.159-05:00And these are people, most likely, who went to col...And these are people, most likely, who went to college and sat through "Economics 101"!<br />Did concepts like "marketplace", "exchange of goods", "cost of production", etc ever registered?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-4089612336255709602012-07-21T01:59:34.285-05:002012-07-21T01:59:34.285-05:00Bob: I'm gonna do a post about that!

Most couldn't survive the hardships of the Little House on the Praire era. Many acres of the best ground (soil, dirt or whatever one calls that stuff we plant in) are covered over with cement and asphalt.
