text: "We need meat and produce from SOMEWHERE, but not necessarily from you. The fact is, 40 percent of this nation's produce comes from CALIFORNIA -- the place conservatives love to hate."--You really think the coastal cities are producing all that food?  Most of it comes from the rural inland counties.
  
  "A single cattle unit (a cow with a nursing calf) requires more than 13.5 acres of short-grass prairie to graze per month, here in the semi-arid Rocky Mountain West. By comparison, areas best suited for cattle -- the Upper Midwest, the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and the pastures of the Old South -- require only TWO acres per YEAR."--Hey, if you want to repeal the Reclamation Act that made most of that arid farming possible, be my guest.  Guess what happens to California's farming industry at that point?
