Why ask why? Where was this thread.
No, why is the question. Where's easy: it used to be in "Ecomodding Central" (IIRC), but got moved to The Lounge.

As for why, seems like the OP wasn't interested in the question per se, but wanted to use it as a springboard to talk about the use of fossil fuels in industrial scale agriculture.

As for where food comes from, that depends. At the moment, I'm getting peas, potatos, strawberries, & green onions from my garden. Got asparagus and cherries earlier this year; expect to have broccoli, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, melons, apples, pears, grapes, and quince in due season. No peaches this year, alas, and the blackberries, mulberries, hazelnuts & kiwi aren't mature enough to bear yet.

Could probably get a few rabbits & quail, too.
