. are more
environmentally sound than the "organic" growing methods--do the organic
methods yield less food?  If they do, then to grow them would require
more
use of land and therefore more ecological devastation.

The question of biosustainability is an important one, for purely

I'm not sure of your definition of "organic," but to me it would mean
planting in context with the environment -- whether it be the back lawn,
a roadside, or woodland.

This would mean *zero* land waste -- as opposed to the 100% ecosystem
destruction of agri-business.

But then, I'm not a "gardener."  Don't seem to have the "green thumb."

I prefer to "forage" (gather) for my *wild, natural* food.
And I'll take wild meat "if, as, and when" it presents itself.
I *never* go out to "hunt meat" while ignoring the wealth of wild-food at
my feet and fingertips.

Whichever desk-bound idiot coined the term "hunter/gatherer" was
obviously neither, or he wouldn't have got it bassackwards.

Face it.  Our early progenitors were pragmatic opportunists, not
idealistic theorists.
