Nice job Ben! I thought it was more well rounded then alot of articles that I've seen over the years, pointing out that a big part of food cost is fuel, at a conference on organic farming that I went to a few years back they had a work shop there on growing your own oil crops and pressing your own oil, their numbers at the time showed that the cost of doing that on a farm gave fuel that cost about half of what you would otherwise have to pay to buy off road diesel and at least from their figures a large farm could pretty much hire someone to oversee their oil crop and pressing and still save money.
