Vegetables use more land still per nutrient iirc though I can't be arsed checking. Lettuce is a particularly evil bastard I think.

This article is brought to you by the kind of geniuses who decided they were going to turn grain into Eco fuel and starved half the worlds poor.

wow, and I say again, wow. Googling some stuff about food on the back of this thread I came upon an article about nutrition being bred out of vegetables (see here in interested: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/o...tion-out-of-our-food.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 ). Anyway, the article mentions multi coloured corn which made me curious so I googled that, and wtf! I simply had no idea that corn cobs could look like this:

They look like jelly beans. I have just had a weird feeling of reality shifting under my feet.
