It didn't take corporations or supermarkets, hunting by humans put paid to most of Europe's large herbivores before we had either.
It was the ice age that done that, diseases/wars kept the population down (and letting kids die when needed. I said it. Wasn't pretty) before it got to that stage. Then, farming caused loss of forest. If we didn't import food we'd be screwed in GB.
Unless we change out diet quite a bit and kick out the trawler fish boats that fark up mackerel and other stock. Anybody for mussels/quorn/mostly veggie?
On that note Collapse is an interesting and sobering read. I'm off to buy a rope to hang myself with, organic hemp of course :P
