    If you can grow corn, you can grow soybeans on the same land. My parents live in Indiana. Corn, soybeans, and pigs. For hundreds of miles of highway, that’s all you’ll see. Maybe some woods, but there aren’t any deep forests left.

    It’s not the growing conditions that prevent the switch, it’s the subsidies and stubbornness to switch crops, because they’ll have to buy another part for their combine harvester that isn’t even close to paid off

      I hear you, I really do. You’re not picking up what I’m saying.

      It’s not about whether or not the switch is possible, the switch isn’t fucking happening. If we can’t get away from the awful habit that’s literally killing us, we’re not getting away from the awful habit that’s keeping us alive. It doesn’t matter if alternatives become available, because they are now and we aren’t switching.
