This is baiting, not debating. Why not address the issue? Do you disagree
about how many cultivable acres there are in California? About the size of
the population?

Nathan Newman just said:

that point, even if true, so what?   Plenty of states in the US's middle
west export far more food than they consume and there are many states that
also export to California in trade for other goods.<<

Do you agree with this?
