No stats to flesh things out (as it were), but the simple fact of the matter is that land exists that cannot support plant foods but CAN be used to feed animals. Here in Colorado alone, there are no doubt hundreds of thousands of acres that could be put to good use. But vegetarians from the People's Republic of Boulder would almost surely nip any such efforts in the bud. :) Dori Zook Denver, CO _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
