He cited a stat that somethng like 30% of the US corn crop was being diverted to biofuels, and also that the majority of south american arable land had been given over to soybean production for raising livestock.
Meat is murder. Well, meat in excess anyway. I don't think one needs more than a serving or two of it a week for good health even if you are an athlete.
But so too is biofuel production. Fai de bčn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant

I believe you do not need meat at all to stay healthy and is often even tastier. Balanced vegetarian food provides everything the body needs. Though I have no problem with people eating meat once or twice a week. That would already be a improvement healthwise for most people. Most people today eat more meat and proteins than the body can metabolise and discharge - thus in my opinion the reason for many chronic health problems.

Actually, I'm sure if I put some effort into it I could find a bunch of local markets to go to on weekends for produce... When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
But you could have used the resources to make the bike to do something useful for someone starving in some part of the world. QED.

It's not a healthy diet, really, especially the nasty cholesterol-laden protein you get from industrial-raised livestock, research on which is in nascent stages.
Linda McCartney's race team was quite competitive on an all vegetarian diet, the jury's out on what sorts of proteins are the best; but either way, the average man in western europe certainly doesn't need more than 200 grams of protein or so per day taking as average a 180cm man at 75kg as roughly average. Add to this a supplement for recovery in the case of athletes (which most people I know, including me, take in combination with a complex carb base mixed with whey solids, so not exactly meat) and you are about right for diet needs.
And not all of that protein need come from meat sources.
I'm not saying being a vegetarian makes you a saint, and for the record i'm not a vegetarian. But McBouffe is not only bad for you, it is unsustainable. Fai de bčn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
The last is just that - for those of us who love the taste of meat and dairy it's a pointless exercize.
Health - not really my main concern, and just like you can put together a veggie diet that is healthy, you can do the same for a non-veggie one.
environment - like so much else, both animal and non-animal products can be produced in a more or less environmentally friendly way.
sustainability - that's the big one. But no, I don't feel particularly guilty.
My philosophy is to make those sustainability/environmental choices which are cause less inconvenience to me or, ideally, which I actually prefer, rather than make huge sacrifices (in the subjective sense). So I have no car, I live in a densely packed city, relying on walking and mass transit exclusively, and I tend to eat local organic stuff to the extent I can afford to. And I suspect that's what most of us do.
I don't quite understand the economics. Why don't we see a full range of produce? Supply and demand, I guess. You can't be me, I'm taken
Right behind the counter is Lundia shelving which holds all the things I need when I am cooking (hardware/software) - within arm's reach. Between the counter and the back shelves is quite narrow - maybe 7500 mm. That is where I hold court, and to where only my closest friends dare to invade ;-) (although bartenders seem to instinctively gravitate there - one told me that he feels safer behind the counter) You can't be me, I'm taken

Hence a "farmers' market" doesn't really apply as a term here. Farmers can have market stalls in with the retailers.
There are many ways to cut the pear in two.

But Flavio makes me see things differently: Bamboo is a resource of immense potential. And it is strong too. What makes it possible to build bicycles from it is that it is stronger than steel when strained in the longitudinal direction, 17% to be exact.
prefer aluminum though. twitchier, more responsive, crisper cornering, feel the road better, and also these days cheaper than, or at least comparable to, a good steel frame. plus, recyclable. I just recycled one a month ago.
steel is a good ride too, softer, more forgiving on the back (fortunately mine's good anyhow) but it's usually too heavy to race on. Fai de bčn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
