Why does anyone in the thread need to have said it?
That's been in the news cycle for the last half-decade and major NGOs as well as governments now (EU approved bugs as food) are on board, saying it'll be necessary to feed everybody their protein in the future.
Why do you think that's not relevant?
- smcl 4y agoBecause they were responding to a person as if they had said it. You can't have a discussion where you just make up what the other person said and respond to that. And in fact you've done exactly the same. You've assigned a position to me that I haven't stated at all. It'd be like me ending this comment with: Why would you make such a inflammatory anti-muslim joke on Eid Al Fitr of all days?
- llanowarelves 4y agoThe bug comment is not saying anyone said it. It's to demonstrate limits. On a discussion about general religions, or future relevant policies, a comment like this would be normal, "I can respect Islam but I'm not going to stop eating pork". And then I guess you would say "who said you have to stop eating pork?".
- smcl 4y agoWe can only guess the intent. You think it's a clever debate strategy, I think the person just wanted to provoke an argument.
- llanowarelves 4y agoMaybe. I have seen the bugs thing mentioned a lot before along with "pods" (increasingly small city apartments / tiny houses) meme. Both are critiques of the handling of current challenges (food and housing). To come full circle, "I support affordable housing, but I don't want to live in a pod" ;)
