Reg,

Sooo…A highly sophisticated electronic, cybernetic Magic 8 Ball? 🎱 😁

Jake,

Oh, a capital idea. A capital thought. Do you suppose i can be bought? I’d paraphrase for a raise to guide you through your haze.

Greater perspicacity, lucidity, sagacity you’ll seldom find. You’re a duck and she is a sharpshooter behind a blind.

Pretty rhymes don’t make any of that accurate.

Autumn,

Presumably they’re both capable of just reading my first post on the subject matter. I’d wager most people are.

I read your post too and you presume to tell agricultural producers how to do their work and to tell consumers how to eat. Sounds like the same food control freakery that starved millions throughout The Twentieth Century.

Jake and PopeBeanie,

Why don’t you both scrape together frontal lobeage and figure out just what Autumn is complaining about? She still hasn’t said yet what the Hell her problem is.

And respect all of our cousins please and don’t project your smarm onto them.

Autumn,

So what exactly is your carp about agriculture? 🤔

I’d say a global system of agriculture that combines at least minimal private property rights with the techniques of The Green Revolution and lifts 1 billion + human beings out of starvation is pretty damn good!

I’d say an agriculture system that has so much surplus that people have Punk…[Read more]

Autumn,

Ah! My assumption was that Cyanosis was only caused by Cyanide. Well, after looking up the condition, I learned something new. Much obliged.

Nevertheless, the world’s food supply isn’t suffering from Cyanosis or anything even analogous to Cyanosis just because farmers don’t do agriculture the way some demand.

Autumn,

Funny, your home garden had fuck all to do with it. 🙄

So just what the fuck all do you want? It sounds like you want The World and want it now.

And besides, cyanosis and crushed windpipes wouldn’t go together as causes of death anyway unless crushing the windpipe came second, in which case it would be just gratuitous brutality. It…[Read more]

Autumn,

Despite being spoiled for options on product assortment, most of us have marginal means to influence how food is grown, let’s say. Even for farmers economic pressures can be far more of a limiting factor rather than enabling.

As long there is some place where real property rights are respected, the property owner can do any experiment t…[Read more]

Autumn,

Incorrect. I think that an economic system should serve people rather than people serving an economic system. There is a contorted sort of logic were we start tautologically defining ‘good’ by what benefits the market because what benefits the market is assumed to be good for people. While there is a relationship between a healthy eco…

Autumn,

So you know I’m not picking on you too much, no single human being has the knowledge and organizational ability to make any single product with all of it’s components, much less do that for all products in a whole economic sector, and even less so for a whole national or global economy. It all has to be done by division of labor and trade.

Autumn,

That isn’t the corollary (and I’m not sure you actually know what ‘corollary’ means), neither is it relevant to my post.

I did misspell ‘corollary,’ but I do know what it is and, yes, it is very relevant to your post, since you think that what people raise and grow and what people consume needs to be controlled towards some Eco “Grand…[Read more]

Autumn,

Maybe he was hallucinating and thought that man was a snowman with a big fat carrot nose.

Either way, the behavior of the COO of Beyond Meat does not speak well for Vegan impulse control or intellectual accumen. 🙄😁

Fellow Unbelievers,

Not all plant-based diets are equal . . . for health or the environment.

I can attest to that, just from looking at a package of Impossible Brand Jerky. It has absurdly high levels of saturated fat! For real beef or bison jerky, fat is a no-no because it makes the product rancid.

And the plant based jerky also has absurd…[Read more]

Autumn,

What’s interesting is from an industrialization perspective, there is insane efficiency, but that efficiency is largely geared toward monetary profit (or just economic sustainability in the current economic system). There are other industries as well where we see this pattern (e.g. clothing).

Well, profit and loss is the market price s…[Read more]
