		<description>You say:

"the essential weakness has been the reliance of petroleum based fertilizers, as summarized here:"

but then the summary doesn't mention petroleum based fertilizer...

    "Some kinds of fertilizer have nearly tripled in price in the last year, keeping farmers from buying all they need. That is one of many factors contributing to a rise in food prices that, according to the United Nations’ World Food Program, threatens to push tens of millions of poor people into malnutrition."

...which is a myth except for a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer.

You greenies don't have science on your side, so you use lies instead.

Let the name calling begin.</description>
