We Eat Oil

"Every single calorie we eat is backed by at least a calorie of oil, more like ten." and this article gives us a history of human farming and then shows why and how we've ended up eating oil. I've said a few times on this blog that we eat oil, if you're puzzled then this article will tell you what you need to know. Warning, it is a scary contemplation. However as world Christians in a globalising world we should make ourselves acquinted with such facts. How can we pray 'Give us today our daily bread' without bearing in mind what it costs to answer that prayer?
