Land use data centers we need far land!, wasn’t dial up enough?

As food prices go up economics tells us that either increasing supply or lowering demand is the best way to lower price. Bc data centers are encroaching on agricultural. Supply has and is being lessened due to less arable land.
Survival,of humans, requires food water and shelter. The internet, though convenient, results in laziness loss of farmland and massive supply shortages; bc of it’s demands on water land and electricity.

Those data centers aren't needed for the internet. We have enough of them for that. The new ones are only for AI.
If your food is costing more, then that probably has more to do with supply chain expenses than anything else.

Chickens, for example, don't suddenly need a ton more space than they did before... and some farms really have them crammed in. So it's not like fewer eggs are suddenly being laid.

Small scale farmers are also selling direct to the public for lower prices... so, they're either eating losses that will bankrupt them (unlikely) or the fat cats supplying the feed etc to larger chicken farms are inflating the prices so much that the cost has to be passed on to the consumer.

Maybe the data centres are being used as a smoke screen to keep people from looking at the real problem???
