[QUOTE="novaman, post: 725621, member: 2744"] The first problem I have with this statement is where did this number come from? Secondly, what "food system" is not energy intensive? Third, where is the other 81% used? Personally I think 19% is an efficient amount, less than a fifth of our energy goes to food production!! Finally, isn't it the consumer that is demanding more food for less cost to them? All I hear is complaining about how expensive milk, hamburger, steak, bread, etc etc is in the grocery store. We have the cheapest food supply in the world. We have the safest food supply. Farming practices are constantly improving to become more efficient and more environmentally friendly all while becoming more productive. I'll give this guy some credit. The country is getting obese but it's becoming obvious to me that the main reason isn't this "unhealthy food" as much as it is a bunch of lazy people who get everything handed to them yet still have the audacity to bite the hand that feeds them. Give me a break. [/QUOTE]
