Food

I must say I should not be too harsh to the extraterrestrials on Sirius. They are noble creatures and always pave our way with good intentions.

While talking about the swarm from the ocean, I am reminded of a hot topic that comes up repeatedly in the media over the past few months: We should grow our own food.

You may think it is all advocate by fans of environment protection. But no. The original idea comes from nationalists and supporters of protectionism, and the objective is simple: If a country could be self-sufficient in terms of food supply, it has no fear of being isolated and could have all the say on her home affair as well as foreign policy.

Of course that doesn’t work out. A country can affect another by millions of ways, and food has little weight in this equation.

Although the objective is not achieved, however, the idea persists and is carried forward by environment protection groups. Their argument is simple: Agriculture means green and is environment friendly.
