David Icke thinks Monsanto is evil. He believes they're a central part of the Reptoid conspiracy. That's why he eats only organic, non-GMO food.
Are you a nutter like David Icke is?

he's also invested a huge amount in making meat without cruelty possible. By growing muscle tissue independently of the animal. There's two sides to everything bill gates is goal is the big picture to end world hunger and move the world towards a post-scarcity society.

growing muscle tissue independently of an animal doesn't only remove the cruelty factor
please look at the whole picture and stop fumbling over small details
imagine the resources alone the livestock industry can save if you can 'grow' cuts of meat without maintaining a factory of some hundred thousand cows, chickens, etc

i.e. you save on space definitely, you will likely also save on energy consumption, carbon emissions, methane emissions, etc. and overall increase the efficiency of the entire process

while i don't entirely agree with GMOs and related, i think they are a 'necessary evil' per se that needs to be explored in order to more effectively allocate resources to sustain our rapidly increasing population with our finite resources

[Anonymous No.5197502]

>>5197483
meat, whether you want to accept it or not and how it's prepared are a part of culture. Culture helps give our lives context and meaning. In an increasingly dissociating society more people are just letting themselves be defined by consumer culture. If we can preserve some aspects of our cultures like certain ways of cooking or collections of recipes without requiring the sacrifice of animal lives and suffering, why not?

Watch Utopia and Orphan Black. They're contemporary soft SciFi/drama TV series from UK and Canada respectively that deal with both the issues of GMO. Utopia deals with overpopulation and its consequences and the necessary steps onte group believes necessary to take to bring the world back from the brink of starvation.
>You know the person who had the greatest positive impact on the environment of this planet? Genghis Khan. Because he massacred 40 million people. There was no one to farm the land, forests grew back, carbon was dragged out of the atmosphere. And had this monster not existed, there'd be another billion of us today, jostling for space on this dying planet.

Orphan Black deals with GMO, cloning and genetic patents.

Both are super interesting. And Utopia has one of the best torture scenes in a tv series, ever. Pic related.

killing people is the best solution if you look at the problem of feeding 9 billion people as a population-centric problem, and nothing else

i understand that you likely don't mean that statement but the fact you view the problem of world hunger that way is sad

e.g. a lot of problems that feeding people ldcs like in poverty ridden parts of africa isn't due to there not being enough food to feed the hungry, but because of corruption, poor infrastructure, substandard storage facilities, etc

while i think overpopulation is an issue to many of our current problems, shifting the blame to overpopulation is way too simplistic

essentially you're ignoring core issues at the heart of the problem with 'hand wave magic'

again overpopulation is definitely an issue but i'd like to bring up the bet between paul ehrlich and julian simon

think of a large population on terms of "more people = more drive for innovation, good ideas and research and development of useful technologies". take note i am not saying overpopulation is not an issue, however a purely malthusian view on our planet's problems is too narrow and simplistic in my eyes

north america is lagging behind current food security issues but eventually it will come to affect us. the extent and scope? i don't know but so-called developed and post-industrial countries do not live in a special zone that separates us from the rest of the 'savages'

>necessity is the mother of invention
while I definitely agree with this, I don't think the world is remotely responsible enough with any of it's resources to deal with 9 billion people. Can the ozone really deal with more industrial revolutions, can the seas and forests either? The planet is fucked at this rate it's too late for sustainability. The least we can do is make the process kinder.

[Anonymous No.5197583]

>>5197557
yes i agree with you, our planet cannot deal with any more western industrial revolutions
however the western industrial revolution (by western i mean european, north american, australian, etc) is and should be a western event only/
people obviously are beginning to understand the true scope and effects our idle, consuming post-industrial service culture brings upon us but unfortunately this kind of culture is currently considered the "dream"
to change we'd need a paradigm shift and a shift towards making sustainable, 'green' practices the norm in countries that are still in the developing stage and not just a luxury for citizens in post-industrialised countries
how we will go about to realising such a paradigm shift, idk

while chasing the american dream is a problem one of the roots of said problem would be above, among other things

have you read the 200$ hamburger or whatever that's called? same kind of logic applies. people will continue to favour short terms such as price and other immediate benefits over long terms like environmental impact. essentially when we pay for things for very cheap (regardless if its a hamburger, technologies, whatever) we're making up for the deficit in price with the impact on future generations. and then if we also take in greenwashing and other trend money mongering schemes, well

again, like i said there needs to be a paradigm shift in how we assess value of things BUT this is very difficult for developing countries as >>5197616 mentioned. how do we go about to setting off this change in values? necessity, for one thing, but global collapse is hardly a low we want to reach before we pull ourselves back up

the way i see it is that, in general this is a very tricky subject that has no general solution. ideally solutions need to be made for each country, possibly even each region in each country and take into account historical, political, cultural and economic contexts among many other things. these solutions would also be solutions that would span over generations. so in short, this is just about impossible

[Anonymous No.5197654]

>>5197622
i think he is referring to how china + india chasing after the american dream is not the real problem

the root of the problem is chasing said dream with a sizeable portion of your economy built on technologies that are only destructive to our planet. and if you were to zoom in more it's because of higher up manipulation and the desire to stretch your dollar for as far asit can go

at least thats how i see it. not op

GMO crops are not needed. Monsanto and Dow's GMOs aren't even about high yields, low water, bug and weed resistance. They are about making government subsidized crops that won't die when sprayed with their bug and weed killer. Because they want to sell more bug and weed killer. Also these GMOs need special synthetic fertilizer that only monsanto and dow produce.

First GMO on the market was a tomato that didn't spoil for a long time. Monsanto owns the patent and keeps it off the market. Because it doesn't make them any money form the sale of chemicals. Plus tomatoes that spoil faster make seed companies more money from more tomato sales.

If Monsanto and Dow made a wheat, corn, soy plant that needed little water, no synthetic fertilizer, no bug spray, no weed spray and yielded more food per acre. Then they would be preventing starvation.

Also subsidized American farming to produce food for aid programs causes famines in Africa. Local farmers can't make any money because of all the subsidized grain and beans from America. So those farmers don't grow food and develop infrastructure and markets. Keeps people dependent on aid food. Keeps people on the brink of famines.
