“what about poop miles?”

So, I booted up my old, unused Twitter account yesterday, hoping to find a way to integrate it into the site, but I’m not sure it’s possible without an upgrade. I’m not a big fan of the idea of Twitter in general, but I figured it would be a quick and easy way to post interesting links. You see, I post a couple links on my Facebook feed every week at least, which isn’t phenomenal but better than I’m doing here. On Facebook, though, the point is just to post the link with minimal or no comment, whereas on a blog, the idea is to “discuss” and “commentate.” These are activities which are surprisingly taxing in my current mental state, but I feel guilty posting just a link on a blog.

Eh, it’s better than nothing. Here’s a balanced and trenchant article about the complexity of building a truly “sustainable” food industry.

Also wins a Silver Duh! for this statement: 

 The reality of 21st-century America is that food demand is centered in cities, while most arable land is in rural areas.
