I must say btw each time you start a sentence with "oh you humans are all such..." I can't help but read it as Edward Cullin would talking to bella :< |

No it isn't. You (like so many others) haven't actually thought this through have you? Let me show you (this doesn't take much mental prowess btw):
- An American football field is: 5,400 m2 That means you could PERMANENTLY feed 540 persons by proper utilization of that space.
Still think that's big?
- I live in South Africa. My country has a surface area of 1.2 x 10^12 squared meters. That means you could feed 100 EARTH POPULATIONS with agricultural land of that size.
(I understand that these kind of raw calculations ignore many statistical considerations, but they are so striking in themselves that I've left them like this - I do like pure, hard-hitting numbers)
