The Sydney Morning Herald columnist, and fantasist, has outdone herself with a six-page manifesto on "what life will be like in the year 2055" for Virgin Australia's inflight magazine, Voyeur. Let it speak for itself: 
"Almost everyone grows at least some of their own vegetables - a fact psychiatrists credit with the virtual disappearance of depression." What's more, the fact that we've all found "more satisfying jobs on the land, becoming engaged in the sacred rites of growing food" has "[reduced] alcohol and drug intake and diminishing healthcare costs". Dr Farrelly has now replaced Scientology poster boy Tom Cruise as mental health quack.
We are also happier because "most people eat [meat] in small amounts, more a condiment than a staple". Could I have some eye fillet with my mustard? Spare me.
And in this utopia, everyone commutes on their bicycles OUT of the city, and "[tends] to sing as they ride". Life is beautiful!
And without a hint of acknowledgment, Dr Farrelly writes this nonsense for a tree-killing publisher contracted by an airline churning evil jet fuel into the atmosphere. In 2055, apparently journalists will pluck money from trees and we'll fly overseas on broomsticks.
