Notes
1 Waste from slaughterhouses, the lees left over from brewing, and by-products from dairies, grist mills, and a host of other industries were fed to pigs.
2 One significant exception was Argentina, which produced wheat and salted beef at prices competitive with North America, largely through the same methods of appropriating virgin farmland from aborigines.
3 Of course, the extractive workforce also needed clothes and tools, which required another entire commodity chain of raw material production, processing, and transport, involving still more labor forces, and widespread ecological consequences. Rough cotton cloth and other coarse fibers were consumed in huge quantities by extractivists, but I have not yet traced the complex connections.
