Most of the energy required to produce food happens in the consumer’s kitchen. He made it very apparent that it’s not all about the distance, and that it is fact that distance has very little to do with it. If one did put the distance into account however, one would have to look at the mathematical factual side of things. “a shipper sending a truck with 2000 apples over 2000 miles would consume the same amount of fuel per apple as a local farmer who takes a pickup 50 miles to sell 50 apples…” (Source C) They have the exact same relative effect on the earth, and that’s fact. Being a locavore doesn’t do all the good it is said to.

If we were to only have local products available to us today, we would have plenty of dairy, but shortages of most everything else. In fact, Vermont produces less than it consumes in every food category other than dairy. Vermonters eat far greater amounts of meat, poultry, eggs, grains, beans, fruits and vegetables than is produced locally. When the lack of diversity is compared to our diets, food grown locally in Vermont has the potential to feed only 38% of the population. That is to say, that if all food produced in Vermont were to stay in Vermont, there may be enough food to feed all Vermonters in terms of calories, but the lack of diversity makes it impossible to survive on these foods.

Another reason people like to defend Wal-Mart is because they have better prices than most everyone else which is easier on peoples wallets. Wal-Mart has become such a household name that most people will shop there without checking out other business when they realistically could be spending a little extra pocket change and helping their economy and help control this giant corporation. The savings people get are on account of cheap foreign goods that aren’t as good as American goods and people don’t realize it because they just remember the good deals. In my opinion there aren’t any other reasons to defend

I had read elsewhere about how much of what modern people eat today came from the Americas. Imagine your daily diet without any tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, chilis, corn, beans, and much, much more. Just corn and potatoes by themselves had revolutionized agriculture forever. The author cited a comparison of European agriculture based on before potatoes and after. Compared to the wheat that was the most common staple and potatoes, the wheat was inferior in the amount of work it took to grow it, its susceptibility to weather and predators, and most especially, to the amount of calories produced versus the amount taken to work the field.

Since 1964, Only fifteen trillion has been spent on poverty; that is only three hundred twelve million per year compared to the military’s $600 billion per year ("The War on Poverty: $15 Trillion and Nothing to Show for It"). In addition, China’s population exceeds the population of the United States by over a billion people; their unemployment and poverty rate are lower than the U.S. (Factbook: China). This shows that it is possible to have a tremendously large population and still have a better functioning system where military spending does not take away from possible solutions to economic stability. Even though China’s military is growing, it is not necessary to continue spending such large amounts of money on the military because the United States already spends six times more than China. The answer is not military spending, rather invest in new companies to employ the unemployed and decrease the amount of poverty in our nation to create a stable economic system in the United
More than 99 percent of the animals we eat come from factory farms. I firmly believe that if exposed to the realities of factory farming, almost all Americans would say, "This isn't right." Do you know anyone who thinks it's right to keep a pregnant animal in a cage so small she can't turn around? Or that it's right to remove parts of animal's body's without anesthetics? It's not what our parents taught us, or what we teach our children.
