[Dialogue] ENERGY DEPLETION

[Karl Hess]

Unfortunately I haven't read it.  The show I 
heard the discussion on was  "How Food Finds its 
Way to Your Plate", on Talk of the Nation, 
November 24, 2006 · "Where does your food really 
come from, and what should you have for dinner? 
Chances are that your food traveled hundreds of 
miles before it landed on your plate. But some 
experts say eating local might make us healthier, 
and better stewards of the environment.
We talk about the business of agriculture with 
author Michael Pollan, author Brian Halweil and 
Jennifer L. Wilkins, a Kellogg Food and Society 
Policy Fellow at Cornell University."

You can listen to the broadcast on the npr web 
site for that date.  I don't remember the details 
enough to decsribe it.  Basically so much corn 
can be grown that the industry keeps inventing 
ways to get people to buy it, and it is heavily 
subsidized.
