^That’s an amazingly dumb comment. Ever been to a grocery store? Where do you think all of that food comes from? Like to wear clothing? Where do you think that the raw materials – wool, cotton, etc. come from? Like to be indoors when it’s rainy and cold? Where do you think the wood to build the house comes from? Farming is very sophisticated big business these days. Ever hear of genetically engineered crops? How about aquaculture? Did you know that veterinarians are usually the first line of defense for zoonotic diseases like swine flu? Cornell has the best college of agriculture in the world – and you don’t get admitted unless you are wicked smart.
