faber has lost his marbles

A question for MCR or anyone else that can substantiate the facts.
MCR mentions a few times that 10 calories of hydrocarbon energy go into every 1 calorie of food.
I am wondering where this data comes from. I've reluctantly quoted that a few times and I'd like to be able to back it up.
Thanks
Excellent recent Faber lecture here:
http://groups.google.com/group/olney-transition/web/news
The world economy according to Marc Faber.
In my opinion his advice on what to do with your assets is exactly right.
Austrian School economist, Marc does not believe in a full social contract .
His analysis is sound, except in my opinion he does not analyse the impacts of Peak Oil in precipitating a collapse or the key role it plays in preventing a return to a business as usual fractional reserve ever increasing energy availability (flow) economy and the impact on the entire world rather than just the occidental world.
ruhh
thanks, i replaced it with a fox link. the original was actually to the drudge report but you're right about where they got it.
actually, ruhh, it was craftier than that: the 'drudge retort' which in haste, i thought was the real thing
@Ruhh, in my opinion what's more important than precise ratios (10:1 is more like an average) is an appreciation for pervasive, essential hydrocarbon "inputs" for fertilizers; irrigation energy; farm equipment; transportation (including refrigeration); etc. in our current system of industrial food production.
We literally "eat" oil!
But since you asked, here are a couple of places to start (admittedly both secondary sources):

Michael Pollen's Ecology (4500 calories hydrocarbon per 80 calories of lettuce)
Ruhh,
Regarding 10 calories of hydrocarbon per 1 calorie of food...I believe you'll find the info you're looking for here:

I've become increasingly despondent the more I learn about our current administration. Our foreign-born Presidential "advisors" with extreme views seem to have been in the foreground or background for at least 2 decades. And there they are officiating at the funeral of Lech Kacyinski. Now we have this revelation:

Our unelected leaders pulling the strings from behind the curtain. They who must not be named. Explains a lot of the weird things that have gone on lately.
While we're on the topic, could someone remind me of the source for the .97 correlation between economic growth and fossil fuel emissions?
That Marc Faber link is from 2009.

From Bloomberg:
BP said it won’t be able to stop the flow of oil from the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico until August:

Please remove the Fox News link about Obama's Energy "czar".
1- None of the spectacular claims about his views are in quotations. If he made controversial statements, why not quote them exactly? One common reason for describing what someone said without quoting it is to distort it without getting sued.
2- The links that are supposed to contain the material being referred to are broken links. Therefore, we have no way of knowing if this is true or if Fox is making this up. This is not how credible journalism works.
3- Fox News is, by definition, not a credible source. In a well-known court case, Fox has successfully defended their right to lie. In 2003, the Florida Court of Appeals ruled that since there is no rule against lying, the 1st Amendment protects Fox's right to lie. If you don't believe me, here's the official ruling:
