It's interesting that you're posting this article now. I remember when it first came out in 2006 and there was a lot of discussion about it. Here are a few articles to look at for responses to the Economist's claims:

-http://www.sustainablefood.com/economist.htm
-http://www.grist.org/article/economist/ and http://www.grist.org/article/eatlocal/

i came across it for a reading i had to do for a class last night and thought it would be interesting to share another perspective for this ever growing topic-esp to look back from '06 and see how much it attention it is continues to garner today. thanks for sharing the response articles!
