Comments on: How Much Longer Will Our Chinese Food Be Delivered? http://www.jeffrubinssmallerworld.com/2009/12/30/how-much-longer-will-our-chinese-food-be-delivered/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: suzannecook http://www.jeffrubinssmallerworld.com/2009/12/30/how-much-longer-will-our-chinese-food-be-delivered/comment-page-1/#comment-382 suzannecook Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:58:24 +0000 http://www.jeffrubinssmallerworld.com/?p=239#comment-382 I am currently reading your book and was pleased to find your blog.

It would be great to have a blog table of contents in order to scan your entries quickly by topic and date.<br><br>I am concerned about peak oil and found your perspective and analysis of the situation compelling. I have to comment on this particular post on food. There is a growing trend towards eating local and I expect that this will continue to the point where we all tend vegetable gardens and frequent the local farmers' market. I think transportation of food around the globe will decrease, but I'm not sure what the answer is to maintaining North American crop yields that are so dependent on fossil fuel inputs. <br><br>A lot of your engagements and book promotions are geared towards business people, however I'd enjoy hearing if you will be speaking to the general public in 2010. Finally, I was hoping that I would find a fan page for your book on Facebook. Maybe that is something to consider in the future. I am currently reading your book and was pleased to find your blog.

The post suggested if they ramp up production, it could delay peak oil scenarios by at least 10 years.

It makes me wonder if the large quantity and different surface resistance makes cargo ships - well, not greener - but a factor to be reconsidered.
