Answering the Food Inquisitors Pt.1

In a talk in Canberra in early December 2010, Joel Salatin suggested that just as there was the Religious Inquisition 500 years ago, we're now experiencing a Food Inquisition. These videos are his replies to the Inquisitors, answering 12 often-presented Assumptions. Part 1 responds to "Oh, you can't be serious. You can't feed the world!" and "You really just want us to go back to loincloths, washboard, hog cholera and tuberculosis!"

@deadeyedick1933 - Technology, new or old, should be rejected whenever it does not work. Or if it works less efficiently. The 'technology' of soils & life in the rhizosphere is more advanced than anyone on earth yet understands. Also, some new technology, like Joel's electric fences, merely replaces herders and livestock dogs; the concepts and the management techiques may have been forgotten but are not new.

Preach! I love this Mr. Salatin's attitude. This is the future – not rejecting technology like survivalist cavemen, but bringing infrastructure up to speed with science. Yes, grass-fed beef is better. But the "free market" will never bring it to you without a public commitment. Time for a Manhattan Project for natural farming.
