    Deep Economy Bill Mckibben Summary

    Not only this, but “the farmers profit margin dropped from 35% in the 1950 's to about 9% today.” (Mckibben, 54) This means that “to generate the same income as it did in 1950, a farm today would need to be roughly four times as large.” (Mckibben, 55) As a result of this perpetual growth and centralization, problems like “huge sewage lagoons, miserable animals, vulnerability to sabotage and food-born illness”(mckibben, 61) have become commonplace. Not only this, but “we are running out of the two basic ingredients we need to grow food on an industrial scale: oil and water.” (Mckibben, 62) The situation has become so dire that “we are now facing a near simultaneous depletion of the underground aquifers which have been responsible for the unsustainable, artificial inflation of food production.” At this point of realization, Mckibben begins indulging the reader in a large number of facts that promote a more localized form of farming as the solution to a seemingly endless number of issues. Initially the point is raised that “sustainable agriculture leads to a 93% increase in per-hectare food production.” (Mckibben, 68) The next idea raised is that, “since World War 1, it has been cheaper to use…

    Richard Manning's 'Polyface Farm': Article Analysis

    According to the International Food Policy Research Institute, the harsh reality is that the world needs to produce more food with fewer resources. In terms of the amount of energy currently being used by agriculture, there needs to be a balance of conserving energy while recognizing that in order to feed the growing population a great amount of energy will need to be utilized. The general public, intensely depends on the least difficult, yet the best approach to deliver sustenance for the greatest number of individuals as they can. As a result of that reason, unless a more straightforward method for cultivating tags along, it is unclear if changes will be made.

Growing up, in history class, one of my teachers made a point to state that what America did to the Native American’s was wrong. We then learned all about how we took their land and made them change their lives. Although it is important to know the historical backgrounds to these events, we never really talked much about how the Government was treating Native Americans now.…

    While growing up, children all across America were told, “Remember, it is better to start while you're young.” including me. Does this include starting off obese when we are younger too? Many more times than I possibly could have imagined I have seen an obese child. While watching the documentary Fed Up, couldn’t help but think to myself, “Has the world really changed so much throughout the time of my Grandparents.” I went and asked them if obesity even existed when they were my age. My grandpa’s response was, “Back there was the war to worry about. Kids worked on the farm before and after school. There was no time to go and get a burger whenever we felt like. Time was money and we didn’t have very much of either.” Ever since 1997, when George…
