i've heard that it takes the approximate same amount of resources to produce
1 pound of beef as it does to produce 16 pounds of grain. and if you're
feeding hungry people, 16 pounds of grain will stretch alot farther than 1
pound of beef (assuming they're not on neanderthin)

heyheyhey, wait a minute...i know menthol cigarettes aren't exactly 'paleo',
but look, i've given up coffee, sugar, alcohol, you got to leave me
something here. back off the tobacco farmers.
