Yes, over time, that would be fine, but not a shock induced by the high prices of fertilizer that immediately affect prices --inducing glee in some because they don't see the immediate detrimental effects.
- woodruffw 5y agoI agree that shocks generally aren't good. I'm also a meat eater, and I don't like paying more for meat. But I do simultaneously recognize that (1) meat should be more expensive than it is, and (2) that the "real" price of food is completely divorced from the actual price. In terms of our agricultural mean, there is no reason why every single American can't have cheap, healthy produce without having to devastate the environment. Our current pricing scheme is a product of the better part of a century of (good-intentioned) subsidies and stupendously wasteful distribution practices.
