I once suggested in a forum that if we want to save the world, we need to accept a diet of bugs because it is unironically has the highest protein efficiency, lowest methane waste, and cheapest per pound.

insects make up barely any of the agriculture infrastructure. you whining about converting to fish farming doesn't change that fish farming is already much more established than bug framing. bug farming hasn't been shown to scale while fish have. also since you think diet is just protein, then algae is the most you'll get. so really you should be setting up bioreactors with that and eating green sludge. it's the cheapest, scalable, highest turn over rate for most protein dense food you can get. also bugs taste like shit.

Another added benefit for eating insects is that it makes it harder for cross mutated strain to occur

In the last 100 years alone, we had Swine Flue, Avian Flue, Spanish Flue, Mad Cow Disease, African Swine Disease, HIV, and Corona (bioweapon?)

All strains that ocured from human to animal contact.

Having a food source that is an entirely different kingdom makes the chances of cross mutation to occur extremely low. We have never heard of any infestation from insectivorous countries like Cambodia and Thailand.

The limitsto our understanding fall broadly into three areas. First is thevariation of nutritional and functional composition of algaeacross species, seasons, and different coastal environments. Thescant evidence to date suggests this variability can be substantialbut it is only possible to speculate about the scope of this incon-sistency. That is true also for quantification of toxic, or potentiallyharmful constituents present within, or adsorbed to algae.Assessments should also consider the effect of processingmethods, which can increase or decrease the nutritional quality.Of the challenges ahead, these issues are the most tractable toaddress, given that the analytical methods are well developed

The main problem you're overlooking is not what nutrients algae has but how much of those nutrients it has. In order to get the same amount of protein/amino acids etc from algae than you get from a single fish, meat or insect you'd need to eat such an exorbitant amount of it that it causes you more harm than good.

That's the only one missing if no action is taken. They supplement though, which gives them sufficient B12. In contrast to meat eaters, who are very often deficient in B12 because of mass-produced meat. B12 comes from microbes in the ground, which animals that we eat aren't exposed to anymore. They get supplements, but often the B12 levels are low.

If we want to "save the world" the retards ruining shit need their shit slapped in. Pollution? A vast majority of that is attributed to China and there's a lot of it we still don't know about. Rapid population growth and the multiple problems whic come with it? Bugmen and terrorist-breeding cultures that highly encourage men to take multiple wives and produce as many children as possible need to be stopped.

I'm not going to switch from steaks to onions because some sand nigger's culture tells him to have 20 kids. I'm all for reducing carbon footprints and recycling and reducing waste in general but let's not pretend like the issue is anywhere close to equal across the world. Most of it is due to a select few countries.

Here's a thought for ya.

Now, as it stands, nothing bar natural catastrophe is going to curb population growth and environmental damage ( pollution, loss of biodiversity, etc ). Western governments won't act, neither will countries like China, India, Nigeria, etc.

So nature will do the job for us. Whether or not a biosphere will manage to survive is the only question, but.....

Say China achieves global hegemony in the next 100 years. Not entirely unlikely the way the West is imploding. So then China exists as the only world super power, bides its time, and then slowly moves in and takes over once all the western countries become variants of Brazil.

With the world politically, culturally and economically dominated by China there then exists the very real, and perhaps only real chance, that the world can avert environmental collapse of the ecosystems and food chains.

Basically as shit becomes really real, the Chinese eventually wake up to the need to act sustainability on a global scale and simply enforce what has to be done. Through draconian measures if necessary. With absolutely nobody left to oppose them. Forced or highly incentivized sterilization, habitat restoration, breeding programs for what species have managed to survive up until this point, dramatic reduction in wastes, banning of all but the most essential plastics, rationing of remaining fossil fuel reserves, etc.

Be sure the Chinese elite will not suffer, but they will quite happily see the rest of the world and many of their own people return to pre-industrial revolution standards while they maintain a high tech and consumer oriented lifestyle on scattered idyllic Chinese colonies around the world.

Consider too the reduction of wasted reserves spent on military spending should China achieve hegemony. All that can be channeled towards environmental repair, space programs and other research.

Now I agree its a long shot of this happening. But it may be the only shot.

>> No.12464629

>>12464598
You're forgetting the crucial fact that the Chinese are, in fact, soulless bugmen, and the closest thing approaching ecological repair on their part, and the resulting world you describe would make the most artificial of zoos look like natural reserves. With no western nations left to pander to, the Chinese have no reason to pretend to be western.

The Chinese are not good people. The Chinese are not people at all. They are a semi-alien blight on human civilization for thousands of years, and a Chinese hegemony will spell the death knell for whatever remains of human civilization, as well as whatever remains of the natural world.

What's the point of space programs and other research if inhuman chinese "society" is all that remains of humanity; better to just self-slaughter and preserve what little remains of Earth.

Although you are right in many respects the Chinese do have several valuable characteristics. They value education. They value technology. They value science. They are builders.

Although a Chinese dominated world might not be much to live in there exists some chance that Humanity will survive and manage to get off this planet. I dont see it happening otherwise. In that case there also exists the hope that at least some of the Chinese will develop into emphatic cultures ( although one would hope without all the self genocidal tendencies and liberal bullshit that destroyed the West ). As an example most Singaporeans are ethnically Chinese yet display little of the "soulless bugmen" behavior you mention.

>> No.12464767

The Chinese can't even rule themselves wisely, and they have been unable to do so for the entirety of their history. Since the dawn of Chinese history, they have been a broken, dystopic people, destroying and consuming themselves only to be conquered and raped by superior outside forces.

The contemporary Chinese "people" only exist by the fact that they historically absorbed whatever new foreign conquerors ruled over them, with China forgetting its own culture and people over, and over, and over again, only to collapse in civil war until a new warlord manages to unite its land for a few hundred years.

Even now, China is a hideous industrial landscape the likes of which put even the worst excesses of industrial Britain and America to shame, and the entire country is a horrible admixture of the worst of both Capitalism and Communism combined. China is not only the closest thing to a dystopia in real life, its cruelty exceeds many fictional examples. People in the richest cities live in cages just to afford rent, an overwhelming majority of its population live in destitute conditions, and its military is a laughing stock, unable to project beyond its own coast.

Whatever complains there are towards America and the west in general (and there are many, many valid complaints), never forget that it's the west that China attempts to imitate, the west's wealth and glory and history, only to fail due to the inherent inferiority of the Chinese people. Funnily enough, the only thing China successfully imitates (and does ten times as much) is the inequality and oppressive nature of western Capitalism.

To call anything ruled by the Chinese "civilization", would be the same as to call the mud and straw huts "architecture". A hilarious (were it not so depressingly sad) parody of something forever out of reach.

You don't have to optimize for population at the cost of all else. If people don't want extra kids at the current cost of things, they won't have them. The only way to get them to have extra kids would be to subsidize it e.g. free schooling or food or healthcare or some such.

>Consumption of any food is not without risk, so the promotion of algal consumption must also consider potential harm to consumers. Possible risks associated with algae include excess intake of toxic metals, allergenicity, cyanotoxins, and certainly secondary metabolites (e.g., prostaglandins, kainoids) as well as contamination with pathogens, radioisotopes, and toxic synthetic compounds.

First is the variation of nutritional and functional composition of algae across species, seasons, and different coastal environments. The scant evidence to date suggests this variability can be substantial but it is only possible to speculate about the scope of this inconsistency. That is true also for quantification of toxic, or potentially harmful constituents present within, or adsorbed to algae. Assessments should also consider the effect of processing methods, which can increase or decrease the nutritional quality. Of the challenges ahead, these issues are the most tractable to address, given that the analytical methods are well developed.

The second, and perhaps most pressing limitation, is quantifying the bioavailability, or fraction of nutritional or functional components that actually have effect in relation to their residence time in the digestive system. These effects can manifest via translocation across the small intestinal epithelial cells into the blood, by direct interactions with the digestive epithelia, by altering uptake of other substances, by regulating the microbial consortium, or by direct contact with colonic epithelial cells in the large intestine (e.g., colon cancer).

Do you honestly think that in the scarce ~100 years of industrialized colonialism that those nations had enough of their nonrenewable resources stripped to where they're permanently trapped?
Or that the fact that they were colonized at all DIDN'T bootstrap them several hundred years into the future?

Why do you think those countries were even exploited in the first place? To support the growing populations of larger nations, which are simultaneously being bolstered by immigration.

I'm AGAINST endless economic growth. I'm AGAINST endless population growth. I'm AGAINST immigration.

Having people invest in a country helps it develop. But colonialism wasn't about investing in countries to make them self-sufficient unless they were primarily European like the North American colonies. Colonialism was about resource acquisition and hasn't changed. It's not just about stripping of resources, although there are many places that have had their resources absolutely raped by foreign powers. It's about the fact for the last 100 years of industrialized colonialism there has been an emphasis on ensuring that other countries do not gain autonomy to the point of not giving the most favorable economic deals to the countries colonizing them. This is why we had Dole death squads and the CIA inside every election we were economically interested in. Hell, finding oil in the middle east was probably the worst possible thing that could have happened to them.

Trying to call people whose countries are literally economically enslaved to foreign interests locusts rings false. Their countries aren't the ones sapping resources from the rest of the world. If you want to bring up the money being fed to Africa as aid I would like to remind you that most of that is used as bribes and pocketed by fundraisers.

Being provided the bare minimum to extract resources and then having your government overthrown if you try to advance further isn't exactly a great place to be.

So you admit at least that the practices of colonialism are in essence locust like behaviour? I do agree that unrestrained immigration does lead to a locust like effect. But the solution involves a global effort due to the fact that foreign countries are still currently supressing their governments and ability to evolve their countries for resources.

Our current standard of living relies on us economically colonizing a good chunk of the world using our military as a backing. The US dollar is, in reality, tied to our military not to any resource we actually have.

Their people should be taking resources from their own countries, and yet they can't because it's all been earmarked for foreign powers or their entire country is so war torn so those foreign powers can mantain economic superiority. Not saying that's the only reason cause many people can fuck up a country on it's own just fine, but that is a large reason for the current state.

Of those kids, now 2nd generation, they have 3, maybe 4 kids.

The next year, hundreds of thousands more immigrants arrive.
The year after that, the same.

The problem isn't intermittent pulses of immigrants, the problem is a continuous flow from nations that are simultaneously replenishing their own stock.

Individuals and families are not atomic, separated and isolated from wider society, and the suffering of some is a burden to all. That continuous influx of immigrants and their eight children puts a straining on healthcare, goods, services, and industry that is acutely felt by the entire nation in sufficient numbers, especially when those very same immigrants are supported by welfare.

You claim you're Asian yet you don't know that that aspect of their culture only arose because of mass famine, just like in Vietnam and south east China. Cambo's and Thais owe a huge percentage of their wealth to tourism and show up this aspect of their cultures to wow tourists. When not in famines Viets and Cantos will almost entirely choose actual pig or chicken over insects.

The problem with western meat is that they only eat muscular tissue and only eat organ meat if they're old, or having a specific country holiday. Organ meat is extremely nutritionally dense, so much so that people can overdose on specific organs (liver meat and B12).

Eating bugs is a radicle and unnecessary step, that has clearly not taken into account potential options. Namely integrating more organ meat into the mostly muscular meat diet. Not only does this cut down on how many animals are being killed, as more of it is being used. It guarantees that the animals being slaughtered are healthy and haven't accumulated dangerous material inside them, as this would be more evident in organ meat.

>> No.12467025

>>12466747
Except that's false
It is true that insect meat is considered for poor people because it costs 1/10 of red meat but saying that we do it simply because of tourists is absolutely absurd. What the fuck
Every single indigenous tribe here dines on a diet of insect and has been a part of our culture before, during, and after the colonization era.

And mind you. We ALSO eat internal organs from animals. And not just organs but also head, snout, nose, ears, tails, etc. All sold as street food to holiday food - not a part wasted because we aren't a bunch of pussies.

Alternative methods are fine and all but saying that insects, or any other alternative sources of food are unecessary is just plain idiotic. A diversity in food source is vital lest another potato famine happened

Iirc, the most popular banana from the 1800's went extinct because it was so monocultured a single disease wiped them out.

When I was working for the farming sector, each season I'd have to kill about 150 birds for the 4 hectare fruit orchard. So about 1 bird is shot for every 50kg of fruit, after accounting for spoiling and rejecting blemished fruits, I'd say about 35kg actually reaches the market. Besides that there's lane mowing and rodent baiting.

On the other hand animal grazing can integrate natural revegetating techniques in their off seasons, which can provide habitat to small field dwelling animals. The grazing done by most domestic animals is arguably less invasive than lane mowing, allowing native animals to migrate to different pastures.

What I'm ultimately saying is the majority of the fruit sector isn't free from animal/environmental destruction, as much as people like to preach it as the more moral choice for food. In some cases animal grazing is less environmentally damaging than fruit farming, especially given that there isn't much change geographic/soil biota before and after grazing takes place comparative to orchard farming.

As a completely cherry-picked, worse case outcome; 1 bird dies for 35kg of fruit, and 1 cow dies for 200kg of meat[1]. If the value of all higher order chordates life is equal then you should eat beef. If the life of a bird and a cow are not the same, then under what metric should life be weighed against another, life span, intelligence, propensity to for communal group, how endangered they are?

All the bugs sold in your country are wild caught, this will become increasingly difficult to do as farming and pesticide use increases. Ultimately concentrating pesticides in people that subsist off bugs, then people will turn to the cleaner meats, like pork and chicken, that subsist off grains and flack.

What is being mocked isn't eating bugs, it's the fact an entire market will be created in the west that is sustained out of sheer guilt for harming animals, or the promise of a better environment. I'm just proposing a more efficient implementation of current systems before trying to invent a competing market.

>snout, nose, ears, tails
There's the eating of incredibly dense organ meat then there's this, all these parts mentioned are almost entirely skin, cartilage, and bone. They're even less nutritionally dense than muscular tissue.

Calling for diversity of food in acceptable, but why does it have to be widely different, all you have to do to break up the mono-culture in animals is to raise different breeds and shuffle in some wild-types. Like how they're crossing Hawaiian feral chickens with domestics to increase disease and pest resistance. You can even raise chickens, ducks and turkeys together, they're all Galliformes.

The potato famine and banana monoculture are completely different, namely that bananas are all cloned from a mother stock rather than separate plants that have grown from seed. The potato famine almost occurred exactly the same way, because they were just old potatoes thrown into the ground. Compounded with the fact that Oliver Cromwell was trying to settle North Ireland with subsistence farmers. Who mainly farmed wheat, the money crop, and potato on the off seasons, the food stock they subsisted on. It was basically bound to fail.

No. All insects here are farmed in small independent farms. You'd think that the local street vendor who sell kilos of it everyday also has to hunt it in the wild? lol no

If you are afraid that bug farming would take over because a marketing strategy of "think of the poor animals" would definitely kill it, then you can kindly go fuck yourself, sir. A free market does not care about your feelings. The animal industry is so full of cruelty that plenty of butchers suffer from ptsd with as much as 90% unable to last a marriage.
Bugs are great because they causes no sympathy

It HAS to be wildly different because is what diversity really is all about, duffus. Different breeds are not going to get you far when the idea of cross-mutated strain happened...which happened so many times already because most of our meat sources are mammals or close to it.

You didn't even address any of my points, like how raising Galliformes is a perfectly reasonable idea, they're not even a model organism for any human analogs. Even the examples of potato famine and bananas was extremely biased towards monoculture.

>As much as 90% unable to last a marriage
Why would butchers even suffer PTSD, it's not like they're working in a abattoir. The carcasses that arrive at the butcher don't even have any blood or organs in it. If they're as mentally unstable as you say they are then how come so many are able to interact with the public on a regular basis. I've looked everywhere and I can't find a single source, you just pulled that out of thin air.

>marketing strategy of "think of the poor animals"
Like you already stated, you're not from a western country, so of course you wouldn't know about the environmentally conscious movement that's been gaining mainstream attention since the '70's. If being conscious of animals in the west doesn't exist then what is veganism predicated on.

>It HAS to be wildly different because is what diversity really is all about.
But you won't accept reasonable diversity like different Galliformes, where they'll at least cohabitate with each other and eat mostly the same diet. You believe they have to be as diverse as possible, then why stop at the Animalia why not go even further to Plantae and become a vegan? If it's a matter of protein then just eat beans.

>There was a clear and significant difference, however, between farmers and meatworkers on propensity-for-aggression (AQ) scores, suggesting that occupation type within the overall class of primary industry had a significant effect
on propensity for aggression. Specifically, those employed as meatworkers had
substantially higher AQ scores than farmers (with the largest differences seen
within the Physical Aggression and Hostility subscales). Worthy of note is the
fact that these meatworker overall AQ and PA scores are high and are similar
to some reported for incarcerated populations of both genders (e.g., Williams,
Boyd, Cascardi, & Poythress, 1996). Not only does this provide some support
408 E. Richards et al. / Society & Animals 21 (2013) 395-413
for assertions by Dillard (2008) about the potential psychological damage
done to employees within meat processing plants (e.g., due to constant exposure to violence and the type of institutional climate present), it also corresponds well with Fitzgerald et al.’s (2007) findings of a differential effect on
violent crime rates by employment within a meat processing facility. This is
clearly an area in need of further investigation, as it has implications not only
for the welfare of individuals (both human and nonhuman), but for the communities that surround such facilities (and that presumably supply the labor
for them).

Yes, destroy the meat industry because it's not just animal abuse. Meatworkers are suffering because it is one thing to butcher an animal and it is another to butcher them enmass in a high-stress environment surrounded by absolutely nothing but carcasses
