How America’s Diet Is Feeding the Groundwater Crisis

As dinner tables and snack menus feature far more chicken and cheese, farms are expanding where water is scarce.

These transformations are tied to the changing American diet. Since the early 1980s, America’s per-person cheese consumption has doubled, largely in the form of mozzarella-covered pizza pies. And last year, for the first time, the average American ate 100 pounds of chicken, twice the amount 40 years ago.

      And how do you suppose we don’t have infinite growth if people are encouraged to have as many kids as possible?

          Sure you are. You are telling people that we can continue growing for eternity with no damage to the environment.

          Or do you agree each additional child adds further stress to the environment?

              Rich from the guy claiming I’m a eugenicist.

              But you admit my premise is sound.
