food that is bad for you is pretty cheap! Capitalism encourages companies to supply us with crap food and for us to eat it. America has a big obesity problem, but it's not a problem with Americans, it's a problem with the zeitgeist of America. Advertisements bombard us with shitty food, it's no wonder we're getting so fat! We must limit how much advertising can be done with unhealthy products
@MacabreManifesto you are absolutely right!! unhealthy food is so cheap and accessible. That seem to be changing with the new "green" movement, people in general are a little more conscious of what they eat. thanks for your input.
@rayzaa14 This vertical farm idea is very important. Not only could it maybe (I bet it will still be profitable for companies to pump urban grown plants with chems) eliminate the need for artificial stuff for plants. but it will eliminate the need for land itself. Humanity has needed, basically, three things to survive as a civilization: (Acceptably) clean air, water, and arable land. If VFs are feasible. We would no longer need farmland (farms devastate the ecosystem)! Of course VF presents...
@MacabreManifesto ...problems. It requires huge start up costs, and it could eliminate jobs if automated. We have the RESOURCES to build VFs. But it is not economically feasible to do so, even if stuff produced in this man made environment is much better than soil grown crops (surprising but true). And it would be so awesome if robots picked our food: It would be SO MUCH CHEAPER! But then there are no more farmers, THEY are out of a job! One of the downfalls of capitalism is that it turns...
@MacabreManifesto ...automation into a double edged sword. It is cheaper to employ a robot which cuts labor costs, which cuts the cost of the product, which is good for the consumer. It also produces more which increases supply, and thus makes things cheaper, and is also good for the consumer. And a factory owner can scale up, which makes him profit more, which is good for the producer. Unfortunately, the workforce is downsized and thus, if you were picking, you'd now be unemployed. I think...
@MacabreManifesto ...that as the number of jobs decreases due to automation, the government should pump more and more money back to the poor. Eventually, when we become SO automated, that almost no one would have a job, and there'd be no purchasing power. At this point we'd have to get rid of money itself! Urban Vertical Farming is one of the first MAJOR steps towards this.
Great to see you back Razaa and yes I saw that same video . I applaud those kids in West Palm Beach! I also watched a presentation by Dr. Claude Anderson ....and he stated that all of the major cities with Black people only have 10 days worth of food available to them..............Detroit doesn't have one grocery store ! YES, we need to take back the control ! ....I grow a few tomato plants on my patio .... I feel a sense of enpowerment ! Stay blessed .
Hey not only being dependent on the governement we are so dependent on corporations.....i.e. fast food companies and junk food available in stores we better wake up and start eating better !!
