It all seems like a vicious cycle of us discovering better ways to fight bacteria and feeding more and more people at the same time at the same price or less. Everything adapts bla bla bla.
This could all be alleviated if we just took a step back as a society and took control of our own lives, food included. Maybe spending 20-30 minutes a day on growing your own supply (where applicable) isn't the worst thing in the world if it came down to it.
- maxerickson 13y agoThat's a very modest estimate of the time involved if you start talking about people growing a significant portion of the calories they need.
- edvinbesic 13y agoAbsolutely, but maybe there is more then one wrong here. Plus the nutrition you get from mass farming these days is less then desirable. It's not about quantity ,but quality as the cliche says. I understand this is not possible everywhere but I grew up on a pretty small suburban home that grew maybe 50% of its own vegetables outside of winter. Having moved to a heavy industrialized nation and moving that down to 0% I can see the difference in quality when eating mass produced food. Again, not everyone if willing or able to do this, but where applicable it should be encouraged and promoted instead of looked down upon as another hippy mentality blabedibla...
