Treehugger's quote of the day

From Colin Tudge: 


[The] food chain we have now is not designed to feed people.... it is designed to produce the maximum amount of cash in the shortest time. ... The global free market might be good for some things (perhaps we get better computers and warships that way) but for farming, and hence for humanity as a whole, it is disastrous. 


I've snipped a couple of teaser lines ... but the whole quote is worth pondering.
