Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:43:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.com/ Comment on Voice your support for a sustainable USDA by Sam Vance https://newleafny.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/voice-your-support-for-a-sustainable-usda/#comment-54 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:43:48 +0000 https://newleafny.wordpress.com/?p=115#comment-54 I’m all for being greener, reducing fuel costs, and promoting balanced diets, but I think our food and agricultural policies need to be science and fact based. Just because we’re plenty overfed, doesn’t mean there isn’t a world out there that needs access to food. Just as our prosperity only made large gains as we had access to more calories and technology that enabled more of us to leave the farm(reducing the need for large families) and work in the city, developing economies around the world deserve the same chance. We have an enormous opportunity and responsibility to help provide food and technology to fuel that progress. This time, we can do it smarter, with targeted nutrition, bio-fuels, and progressive agricultural techniques like variable rate fertilizer spreaders and crop varieties that are resistant to pests so some of the pesticide/herbicides aren’t needed.

What we can’t do is base policy on misinformation and assumptions about our food that are based not on science, but on unfounded hysteria.

I think that our appointments should come from academia in the areas of agricultural or food science.

They work amazingly well, grow a pretty good range of plants, and put a lot of garden in a tiny space at a low price. This is an entrepreneur thing, not a mega-corp, so I’m working to get the word out.

Since eliminating wheat from my diet (and thus solving 90% of my life’s problems… no joke!), I’ve upped the quantity of meat and eggs I’ve been eating (though I have also eliminated all dairy). It’s one of the only foods I can tolerate without stomach upset. I haven’t really been able to come up with any kind of solution for my newfound environmental sin. Eating meat substitutes are not an option with my tummy problems. I’ve been stressing out about it and have been considering trying to develop some sort of diet for myself that won’t have me miserable but will also drastically cut down on meat. Come the New Year, I’m going to try cutting down which means I’ll basically be subsisting on vegetables, not inclusive of the root kinds! 😦

Meat is a really inefficient food in terms of allocation of resources, and as the human population increases, even if we wanted to eat grass-fed beef all the time, we couldn’t because there aren’t enough resources to consume that much meat. It’s not like we’re supposed to have that much meat in our diets anyway–the double-whammy of refined carbohydrates and excessive meat consumption have lead to us being really, really sick.

I forgot to mention that extremely important point that can usually get me babbling for 20 minutes or more! Yes, it makes cows very sick, which is why the industry pumps them full of antibiotics. Corn screws with their digestion and makes them more susceptible to disease and illness. But even grass-fed beef won’t solve this problem entirely. I think it’s really important that we all start treating meat as a sometime food.

And it makes cows very, very sick, which leads them to, ahem, emit more methane. Even dropping beef out of one’s diet or incorporating grass-fed, local beef instead makes a big difference. Additionally, grass-fed beef is actually lower in cholesterol. There was a time when corn-fed beef was considered a delicacy because it has superior marbeling but was more expensive because feed cost a lot more than grass. I think we need to go back to that time.

To a native Midwesterner who practically grew up on her grandfather’s farm, this was pretty much unimaginable.

I will never, ever forget the day we took the train out to New Jersey to visit the cows. It remains one of my best memories about NYC. 🙂

I had no idea there was a farmer’s market so close to where I live. I’m going to check it out.
