    If you think farms are for food wait till you find out what 40% of US corn is used for.

    (it’s biofuel for cars)

    and just wait till you find out what 60% of the remaining corn is used for

    (it’s animal feed)

    edit: and just wait till you find out how much water is used to artificially irrigate that corn

    (something like 40 times as much as AI is estimated to use)

    maybe they meant meat farms. meat uses more water than apparently anyone realizes or cares about. theres material to that reality, whether its acknowledged or not.
