That's not true for much of Africa, where the soil is poor,
where it rains only once or twice a year, and where goat herding
finishes off whatever vegetation remained.
Tell me what you do to get your food. Then tell me why you want
to lead your lifestyle, but want Africans to lead a different
lifestyle that would be akin to you ploughing your garden
year-in, year-out.
