I'm having a senior moment. I read that book. It discussed the
relationship between man and four specific plants; potatoes, tulips,
marijuana and ........ It was on the New York Times bestseller list. But I
can't remember the name of it.

I didn't mean to start another topic. But you're all right, there are
other earthly creatures that farm. But not on the scale man does, and not
with the impact man has. It's probably worth studying though.
