[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7490353, member: 54866"] That sort of argument is weak at best. In reality a lot of grains are grown in regions of the world where in fact it was native grasslands before as opposed to endless acres of rainforest. Though I do accept that in Brazil and Indonesia big areas of rainforest were cleared. Whilst this is clearly not ideal we should remember that much of Europe cleared land or ploughed up native grassland or drained natural wetlands to achieve the exact same aim. We need to evaluate different kinds of food production holistically, not resort to: 'well mine must be better because it never travelled on a ship' because ultimately mankind relies heavily on the movement of bulk cargos by sea- not all regions can grow the required quantities of grains reliably. We know that food production and sustainability are complex issues with no simple answers- unless you are Monbiot at any rate. [/QUOTE]
