Hey Lloyd, sorry to hear about your departure from Treehugger; you were the main writer of substance there and your consistent energy in bringing relevant information, studies, policies, and articles was impressive and helpful. TH seems to be a bland site without you. Good luck moving fw!
What's unnatural about using natural gas to heat a greenhouse in the winter? Have you looked at the rising population data recently? The world can't live on turnips and potatoes.
Most of the tomatoes I consume are canned domestic, except for local fresh tomatoes in summer. A canned field-grown tomato must have a smaller carbon load than a fresh greenhouse one? I wonder how much smaller...
A problem with commercially canned tomatoes is that the cans are lined with an expoxy paint made with bisphenol A. I hope you are eating tomatoes canned in glass.

Great line “Stop eating fossil fuels”, could be a campaign slogan.

A fraction of the footprint, which is why that is all we eat.

Yeah this is basically true.
