What does the hamburger say about our modern food economy A lot, actually. Over the past several years Waldo Jaquith intended to make a hamburger from scratch, to no avail. "Further 21 revealed that it"s quite impractical— 22 impossible—to make a hamburger from scratch," he writes. "Tomatoes are in season in the late summer. Lettuce is in season in spring and fall. Large mammals are 23 in early winter. The process of making 24 burger would take nearly a year and would inherently involve omitting some core hamburger 25 ."That the hamburger—our delicious and comforting everyman food—didn"t 26 100 years ago is a greasy, shiny example of all that is both right 27 wrong with our modern food economy. 28 fertilizers, genetically modified crops, concentrated farming operations and global overnight shipping, much of the world was lifted out of starvation 29 it could finally grow 30 quantities of food with decreasing labor 31 .But these same advances 32 allow food to be grown out of 33 and in all comers of the globe contribute to a whole host of environmental 34 .

This system will only be aggravated as food demand 38 . Recently David Tilman and Jason Hill of the University of Minnesota released a study 39 that global food demand could double by 2050.
