Bill Gates Wants to Feed You Bug Paste and Lab Meat

a reply to: TerryDon79

Keep up the intelligent points. Amazing you have so many different arguments to fall back on! How many more posts of you saying Ewww Bugs can we anticipate?

a reply to: zosimov

Either the starving eat maggot paste OR they eat nothing.

That’s the situation for a lot of people. Or they can eat, but wheat paste that has no real nutrition.

But “eeeeeeeew! Bugs!” is the ONLY argument against this.

Cute



But wrong again. The choice are not limited to
nothing
maggot paste
wheat paste

Lots. Because that’s your only argument against this.

a reply to: TerryDon79

Cool by me. Keep the topic relevent and the traffic coming, so others can read the discussion and join in.

There's more to the OP than meets the eye, my friend. But you do you.

Yet your only argument against this is “eeeeeew! Bugs!”

There really isn’t. I can some it up in 2 words. “Eeeeeew! Bugs!”

Keep the topic relevent and the traffic coming

I actually think I might be done.

One last note before I leave.
People are quite happy to eat internal organs of animals, drink their bones and skin, but get discussed by the simple idea of eating bugs.

Bunch of pansies.

You really remind me of a phase my son went through a few years ago. Are you under the age of eight, by any chance?

I started the discussion and therefore do indeed know what's being discussed, thank you.

All these people are fine feeding poor people ground bug paste but not eating it themselves. There is a word somewhere for that...

"All these people are fine making affordable cars a poor person can afford but not driving one themselves"
I think the bug paste stuff is going to be for those who have little choice...for those with a bit of cash, they will opt out and get chicken instead.

Good, you started a discussion, but that doesn't mean you know wtf you're talking about.

a reply to: SaturnFX

I suppose we ought to bow to your superior knowledge then?

Bug paste is the only plausable option you and Bill Gates can imagine, doesn't sound logical to me.

LMAO i'll stick with good ole tomatoes and home made
wine.
Grow my own not a problem.

You saying you would rather die?

(...darwin perks up)

And you saying you think I'm stupid and that the world would be better off w/o me?

Lol, reason 1/100,000 why I am no longer a democrat. The party of love and unity anything but. So I write an opinion piece blasting Bill Gates and you think this is a reasonable response?

Sad.

Your intellect in general I don't know, nor what contributions to society you make that would quantify if you are net positive or negative for humanity. Thats up to your peers to consider. To me, you're just text on the internet
But
I would say if you're trying to blast an idea on how to effectively feed the poor because you think it sounds nasty but don't have an alternative solution to put in its place, that to me is a negative you are adding to humanity, and hey...not saying you should die or anything, but maybe let others with some solutions speak up instead of just tossing rocks as those folks without adding anything of value in its place.

You can eat what you want, if you can afford it. If that disturbs you, then, well, too bad commie
Protein is protein regardless of it coming from a chicken, a bug, etc. If you ever ate a salad, chances are you chomped down on several bugs in a single setting along (unless it was some sort of factory made salad that never seen the light of day).

And its kinda sad that you want to push everything into a political spectrum. Saying poor people need cheaper food alternatives from a business perspective isn't red or blue nor a uniquely american problem. You need to step back and maybe think you have taken your personal political views into a near cultlike status where you can't wipe your arse without it having some significance on your party
I personally am neither D nor R...free agent. I find both sides absurd. Issue by issue I decide, I don't need some party to instruct me how to think about things...seems you do though, thats on you. Don't put your cult standards into my view.

Whats your alternative...seems you got something up your sleeve..

Come on...we are all dying to know your cheaper better alternative.

Check out previous page.. got some ideas already!

Also like I mentioned growing my own food and sharing w/ neighbors, with a sign encouraging them to do the same.

Getting off our asses and sharing some of our excess. Those are some ideas.

You?

(PS: I did check your post history before commenting and noticed more theads praising Hillary and disparaging T-Dawg than you'll find in mine! That was a weak point though, I know it and I shouldn't have gone there)

Awesome
now send your food to ethopia, india, etc where farming such as you do isn't really feasible.

lol...don't do mega industrial solutions to help alleviate world hunger, I gots me a tomato garden..everyone can just come over my house.

Seems legit
On this note, I'll leave the convo to the intellectual powerhouses. lol

oh, and eat a bug...it'll put hair on your chest.

a reply to: SaturnFX

Guess you did not read the previous page where I noted that the excess food waste as is would feed 2 billion people, and where I posted a picture of a geothermal greenhouse as an example of innovative farming methods?

a reply to: SaturnFX

Well lol a speedy retreat never hurt anyone. You and Terry can star eachother's posts in a different sycophantic Bill Gates thread.

Thanks for blessing this thread with your superior wisdom while you were here though

Whoawhoawhoa...

What are you? Some kind of independencist?

If you dont like what the massive corps have to offer, then its just because you find bugs gross and want people to die.

Dont be an independencist, bluesman. The death march to absolute dependence on the corporate-political apparatus is clearly the righteous option! If you have an alternative idea, it must be consumed by the Monolith and then crafted for distribution.

Then, we just minimize anything and everything outside of this Narrative by latching onto random, passing statements as if they represent the totality of the opposing position.

We argue against corporate created archetypes here, not individuals!


I really wouldnt mind seeing stuff like this get more mainstream though. A lot of stuff we eat is kinda gross, like crabs & lobsters, but its been normalized. Deliciously normalized.

Seems like everything the corporate Monolith churns out is All or Nothing nowadays though. We are only supposed to have Approved™ preferences and perspectives. Its no longer about the actual subject at hand, and reasonable discussion.. Its about total adherence to Approved™ perspectives.

One path leads to more choices and variety. It pulls from the resource pool of the entire population for solutions, approaches, inventions, creativity... The other leads to little choice, homogenous thought, and subservience under the auspices of a life and death scenario. You can have your Model T in any color (as long as its black) type of deal.

There is little to no self-awareness in the latter group though, which is why its so difficult. Hell, we have entire movements to "fight the system" that receive extensive corporate and bureaucratic sponsorship.

Serdgiam.. run for local office.. please. You have a really extraordinary gift with words, an incisive mind, an innovative and feasable answer to some of our most pressing problems, and always seem so good humored!

I'm not joking. I'll help you in any way I could lol.

a reply to: Serdgiam

Nevermind. I'd hate to suggest anyone to head straight for the snake pit. There have to be other ways.
