It takes a lot of farmland to feed those 7 billion people all hypothetically living in Texas.

Well, let's see: 288,581 sq miles of inhabitable land in Texas
7.6 billion arable sq miles: thisfrom a tree-hugger website too)
Equals . . . ready?

26,612 sq miles of arable land per person.

Plenty of land to grow my food

. . . . even Mooch-elle couldn't eat all the food grown on that much land . . . I guess.

Sorry, allmendream, I had the wrong arable land figure before:

Well, let's see:
288,581 sq miles of inhabitable land in Texas
12 million sq miles of arable land. (This from a tree-hugger website too)
Equals 41.5 sq miles of arable land per person.

Plenty of land to grow my food . . . . even Mooch-elle couldn't eat all the food grown on that much land . . . I guess.
