Not your diet, fool. We aren't discussing mythical foods, we're talking
about real foods that you and I and Usual all buy. The fact that *you*
have to resort to a diet that is not available says your diet as it now
stands loses, and that you know you cannot defend it.

======================
No. Any production on the scale it would mean to support people will
require machinery, and the necessary petro-chemical industry. Plus, *ALL*
crop land is environmental destruction.

======================
Why do you try to resort to this ly? Organic does not mean cruelty-free or
pesticide-free. Haven't you read anything I've posted for you? You really
wish to remain terminally ignorant, don;t you killer? So much for your
stated claim as to wanting to reduce your impact, hypocrite.

================
Except you. But again, it is not 'non-harmful.'
