Folks going to Mars don't ask me to change the status quo and the status quo must be preserved no matter the consequences!

  But I don't see any alternatives being discussed, like say, sky scraping towers of factory farmed cows that take up a square block and can feed hundreds of thousands. Like apparently the only solution is abstention or restriction. Where are the crazy visions of feeding tens of billions of people through some high tech magic whatevers.

    Eating more veg and less meat has got to be a lot cheaper for everyone, and more realistic, than building 100-story towers filled with cows, eh?

    What you call "abstention or restriction" in 2024 would be the dream diet of anyone before the 1930s. We're supposedly smart monkey, we should be able to eat 25% less bacon if it means avoiding all these long term issues. Even pigs know when to stop eating

      There is a reason people in the 1930s grew up stunted and were shorter than people today. Why in the world would I want to follow their example?
