It's dry - It's wet

[Arthur Dent]

Even when it comes to food we're stupid....we use so much grain to feed cattle, etc. when one cow doesn't produce as much food as the food we're feeding it...like if we all ate the grain instead of the cow, there'd be so much more food....but we need our burgers....

The US is the world's bread basket. The midwest produces enough grain to feed every starving nation in the world. Just nobody willing to pay to send it over there.
