It might have been In Search Of, it might have been Burke's Connections. They were standing in the desert somewhere showing erosion control. When all you have is oil, they said, you use oil for a lot of things you wouldn't normally. Like erosion control. Dig it out of the ground and charge the Infidel $40 a barrel for it... or spray it on the dunes to keep them from moving. That, to me, is American cuisine. The Iranians (or Saudis, can't remember) would probably have killed for dandelions and the ability to keep them alive. But they had oil and nothing but oil so they kept the dust down by hosing it with crude. The British have us beat, I guess, but they're a country that told their proletariat to eat nothing but potatoes. The Double Down is an Irish Potato Famine of protein subsidy.
