Check out this
article: Apparently it's more environmentally friendly to drive now.

Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby.

The interviewee's comments degenerate to the "localvore" (don't consume anything that had to travel too far) and vegan argument.
Yep, noticed it
here.
As for this localvore stuff, they had that once; it was called the
dark ages.

D'oh!
Sorry I missed that. I just came across the article myself and was amused so much that I lost all sensibility to check first (you seem to be more "on the ball" than I am lately).

Nah, don't sweat it. I, if anyone, can understand that it outright demands comment!
Hmmm, I'm on the ball? Ehh... If anything I consider myself mostly out of it. I'm trying to cram 10 lbs of life in a 5 lb bag. I'm amazed I know what day it is.
The whole thing is just an excuse to talk contradictory bollocks and impose Robert Mugabe's economic policy as the solution.
