- WalterBright 3y agoPeople like to eat.
- r00fus 3y agoFrance is a major food exporter. Some of those lands could be re-acquired by the state for non-food uses. Our capitalist world economy equates wealth based on extraction, not preservation. It really needs to be reimagined if we're going to be sustainable at all.
- tmnvdb 3y agoThat exported food is also feeding people.
- WalterBright 3y ago> Our capitalist world economy equates wealth based on extraction, not preservation Why is there no shortage of corn, cows, pigs, and chickens, then?
- yosito 3y agoReminds me of a fast food slogan, "Ya gotta eat! Rally's!"... not exactly the most appetizing slogan.
- maelito 3y agoWay too much, as shows the spreading obesity epidemic.

- slau 3y agoThere’s a moment in the movie R.M.N. where a young Frenchman is in town to “count the bears”. During a town hall, he tries to explain that he’s there to help identify how many bears there are and help protect them. One local throws a jab back at him: “You kill all the bears in your country and reap the benefits of developing [your land/economy], and then come to ours and tell us to protect nature.” Fantastic movie, highly recommended. If you do watch it, watch the original version with the burnt in subtitles. The subtitles have different colours to indicate which language is being spoken, and it has a lot of relevance for the movie and context.
