    Is almost like concentrating so much of our population and our agriculture in the desert is a bad idea. Yeah the weather sucks in my part of the country and the only thing that grows here is corn and soybeans but we have an excess of water.

      Other things grow, but corn and soybeans are heavily subsidised (not to mention genetically modified).

        As someone who has gardened in the western US and gardened in the east, there is a difference between growing and growing well. Lots of things around here are grown in greenhouses to help mitigate environmental challenges.

        Anything you buy at the grocery store is generically modified
