I had some figures once on the prices of cattle and of pigs in Gloucestershire and London. Because cattle are easier and cheaper to drove than pigs are, the price in London is raised more for pigs than it is for cattle, proportionately.

Re: Pyramid #3/52: Low-Tech II
So Matt,
I've got a few questions about urban carrying capacity.
Also, there's one extra close parenthesis in the formula.

Sea efficiencies are largely for imperial capital calculations, but could be used in directly supplying an island city subsisting on fish and kelp. A city being on the sea doesn't help if your farms are all on the landward side.

That was PK's line, but . . . If you're so worried about assassination that you wear an armored hat, you leave it on. Nobody is going to tell the freakin' President to take it off.

From experience here chicken farming really is amazingly efficient and other than predators and disease, pretty issue free.

There were a lot if reasons peasants usually ate , social compact, the church, peasant uprisings and just common sense. Hungry and sick peasants meant the nobles starved too. The real awfulness started in modern times with labor specialization, urbanization and surplus population. Lastly it is suggested that British peasants were better off than many modern Africans! http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandeve...england_twice/ |

Actually, I'm not getting an exact fit but it's looking like a root function of MaxDR/WM is a reasonably good first-order approximation.

Lastly there was a (strained) hope that the militants might not recognize them as a food source, or regard them as too low status to be worth stealing.
