You might have a point when it comes to tilled soil and the chemicals especially. At the same time, we've been eating food in tilled soil for at least 5,000 years.
But thousands of tons of rocks have stopped that farmer along with the silt. So maybe it would be a good idea not to go off on a tangent when we have a monster staring at us in the face.
