@ToyMaster83 Malthusianism has long since been discredited.  Mr. Salatin's methods will actually help people to support larger families.

[crabstu]

@markallanfox No one of serious thought believes in such thinking any longer. Do an honest search and see that his theories have been shown as flawed. Even Mr Salatin's ways of growing demonstrate that the linear assumptions regarding food production are way off. Sustainability has nothing to do with population control.

crazy laws in america.all animal diseases were created in industrialised farms.

[BringBack500s]

Folk in '3rd world countries' have not somehow developed the ability to forget how to grow food over the past few decades. Something else has happened.

Polyface farm is simply sensible, human, ecological and from the look of the place a great place to live. Making our food this way is a good way to live.

Go figure.

@Ullbritt and most of all, regulate against everything.

it's very interesting what he's saying about third world countries and that the people in those countries are very interested while in 1st countries they are very resistant and hostile to these methods. it's the same thing with michael reynold's struggle to build earthships, or geoff lawton's work to establish permaculture farming around the world. the people in the poorer countries jump right on it while we in the west just ridicule or ignore it.

@TheoryIsSpeculation Native Americans. USA commited genocide on a noble people and the USA should give back the all the land stolen from them.

Remember Soylant Green - first they destroy the environment then they turn people into food. In the end, as a society treats its animals is the way it will treat its people. In some cultures you must feed your animals (let alone mistreat them !) before yourself or family.

Joel's agricultural practices are in harmony with nature and consistent with the "Do Nothing" philosophy of M. Fukuoka and that is the hightest compliment I can give.

America needs more Joel Salatin's to stand up to the USA's Military-Industrial-Informatio­n complex. Our freedoms are in jeopardy. "Warrantless searchs...", Patriot act spying on Americans... I am not afraid of "Terrorists", but I dread the Military-Industrial-Informatio­n complex control of what should be our Government and thus fear the USA government.

While I am happy to see you don't endorse the extreme measures listed, I reserve judgment on any others. I would not underestimate natural nor our own stupidity in cutting the population. Other than that, I don't see that any other action need to be taken.

@crabstu Nah, there can really go ahead and be less of Me, that thought line is simply still held because of the Human Self-Centeredness that has become the norm.

We have pulled ourselves out of the 'Natural Order' of the planet and should have the sense to see that we still need a balancer, if Nature is not permitted to do so anymore, then we must do it ourselves. While I do not mean Holocaust Eugenics nor Gattaca's extent, there should be common sense practices. It's not creepy, it's logical.
