- silent_cal 4y agoThe fact that there is high demand for industrial sludge doesn't make it any better.
- blamazon 4y agoI don't disagree with you philosophically but the fact is that this is a solution with an obvious problem: how to make gobs of money. By the way, by your argument that cool whip is sludge, wouldn't making something better than it, that still meets the demand, be worthwhile?
- silent_cal 4y agoI take your point, but I actually don't think that making money and meeting demand are always worth doing. The pornography and drug industries are two obvious examples.
