I have a whole fascination w/ the process of human beings making bread.

Hunter gatherer gnawing on a plant leads to stockpiling grains, leads to smooshing them... somehow you get flour, etc.

Just a wild evolutionary journey. A lot of cool archaeology stuff w/ gut bacteria.

the president who was bribed with the presence of an emergency mobile McDonalds unit in Qatar is surely going to advocate for healthier foods

what is the government going to do about it? send all none of their USDA and FDA employees to crack down on companies turning sludge into patties?

They're probably going to go somewhere stupid with this, but there are actual problems with the nutritional quality of the food we grow and eat because of pesticides, herbicides, climate change, large scale monoculture, etc. I doubt they'll actually talk about that though

tlanta-sean.bsky.social•38 days ago

Is there, though? Or have things like pesticides, herbicides, large scale farming, genetic engineering, etc. greatly increased yields and have saved countless lives by reducing food shortages?

I just lost my job at the EPA due to the federal funding withdrawals. I am very interested in human health and the environment, and I do know for a fact that our current agricultural practices are not sustainable for either.

squip.bsky.social•38 days ago

Also, we don't need to increase our yields by some huge amount, as we currently do. A very large amount of food we grow is literally thrown away, because it would disturb the price if supply overwhelmed demand. We pay farmers to grow food that we then throw away.

squip.bsky.social•38 days ago

These can both be true. Food has become more abundant, but the nutritional value has decreased. I think this is a very well researched video about it by people who are much better communicators than me, if you're interested https://youtu.be/8uwn7ioUHTk?si=XPXuEK0zX7aLRMtF

You live for a while then you die. Do something inbetween. Enough with the eternity already.
