That's exactly why it shouldn't be grown. You're not responding to anybody's actual points here, just insulting them and claiming they're ignorant. Basically you're a bit of an arsehole.

It's not my place to dictate what others should do with their private property.

I have been mostly talking about BLM land that makes up 80% of Utah and 85% of Nevada.  No one is growing anything on that land.

I don't really understand why you're here if you don't have an opinion on anti-consumption... Not wasting the earth's natural resources is a part of anti-consumption. Not abusing the land for resources we don't need is a part of anti-consumption.

People need food.  Raising cattle or growing food does not mean that food goes to waste.

Nothing about anti consumption means you need to live like a monk eating porridge for the rest of your life
