This is an argument that Zubrin has used. But it proceeds from an
assumption that Earth and Mars are the only two locations in the solar
system where food crops can be grown. But if O'Neill's projections are
correct, asteroid miners will live permanently in the Belt inside of
habitats perfectly capable of growing their own food.
