then they will have to cut domestic water consumption

Don't forget vegetables.. but it's all worth it.. even the heart
disease, etc.
And what about remaining native flora and fauna.. Who cares, eh, jim.


exactly


Really? What an insane attitude. Luckily, jim's kind are in the
minority.
Most people are misinformed + addicted to fat (in this case animal fat).



tut tut pearl

what I actually said, as can be seen, was
exactly so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption, because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of agriculture
you want.

Yes, you just said that. The question is, *why* is this happening?


too many people, using too much energy, too much water going on washing
cars, irrigating gardens, flushing toilets, etc etc



yep, and large areas in the UK, because that is where we produce
our
livestock here, is permanent pasture because it is unsuitable for
arable
cultivation

Arable land is, but a significant percentage is being used for
feedcrops.

in the UK a lot of arable land is incapable of growing bread making
wheat
and can only grow feed wheat, but as global warming increases we'll
probably
be able to grow bread making wheat

'WHETHER you're an avid baker or know next to nothing about
making bread, visiting the Watermill in Little Salkeld, Cumbria,
will make you want to get stuck in.
..


yep, as I said, we grow very little breadmaking wheat in the UK.


You say a lot of things. You are a veritable fount of BS, jim.


at least I don't selectively snip to change the sense of what people write




That is why we import bread making wheat, because we don't have the
sunshine
that we need to guarantee production


- BS. 'Only' 39% of British wheat is used as livestock feed.


exactly. And it is grown in the areas where it can be grown, the rest of the
land is unlikely to produce bread making wheat which is why more wheat isn't
grown


I'm glad you've noticed OSR,


What's that?


you mean you posted great screds of stuff about something you didn't
understand


you'll see a lot more of it when the EU turns
over 50% of our arable acreage for biodiesel


'Biofuels: Biodevastation, Hunger & False Carbon Credits

& appearing to be highly controversial in relevant circles.

But you still haven't said where your food comes from I note


Note everything you've snipped and failed to comment upon.

wriggle wriggle wriggle


where does your food come from
I long ago learned not to get lost in long circular arguments that were a
total waste of time. You keep trying to change the subject and get off the
embarassing issue that you don't know where your food comes from
