>>27768>>27814Reposting a set of old effort posts of mine in relation to these.
Stop consuming bourgeois food. Junk food, sodas (COKEacola), etc. are a bourgeois invention of the capitalist epoch made for addiction and profit that your body doesn't need. You must eat organic food, drink water and more natural alternatives. You can produce whole foods at industrial scale. It's just cheaper to separate the parts and recombine them synthetically because porky likes profits and doesn't care about proles (if anything sick proles feed Big Pharma so it would be in their mutual interests).
The "MEME" of organic food was not a common thing, but the actual concept existed. Organic producers rely on natural substances and physical, mechanical, or biologically based farming methods to the fullest extent possible. The USSR did just that. They didn't have cow pens where they would be raised in a 3x6 cage with shit running down their legs, or chickens that were kept in rigid boxes with their beaks set to a constant supply of food. Cage-free, free-range eggs are "organic", compare their contents to that of a GMO chicken. The latter gets pumped with so many hormones and live in such squalor that the egg products are in and of themselves tainted by this. Meat wasn't *'Pink Slime' but the real deal, which is why, after Gorbachev fucked it up, there were jokes about Sausage meat replaced by toilet paper.
Communist countries didn't call their food industries "organic" - in non-profit driven states, there is no incentive to have cheap harmful food and expensively modified, slightly better versions of the same. all food was "organic" and affordable to everyone. just to give one example, dairy products weren't stuffed with preservatives to the point where a yogurt bottle can stay on shelves half a year or so, but were refreshed each 24-48h. Pesticides used were often tobacco based or otherwise natural and therefore far less harmful than the frog-mutating crap used in California or other places.

>muh GMO is just conspiracyMonsanto is a massive monopoly that exerts massive pressure on the scientific community and economy to push its products through. This is capitalist self-interest for it to push that shit onto us. Organic food is more expensive so only the middle class and bourgeois can only eat like this everyday. If you think they wouldn't do that, then read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, about how they canned rat corpses, rat shit and rat poison along with the meat being sold to ordinary people.

>Scientists: Unregulated and poorly managed food production and industry is creating massive climate impacts>Porky: time to eat le bugs peasants Bug eating and pod living is the ultimate neolib wet dream, the definitive version of worker alienation.
>but muh farms!These are experimental farms producing very expensive, boutique products for niche markets. A cricket burger would cost you like $50. It's not a cheap filler. Insects are a heck of a lot harder to cultivate cleanly, I certainly don't think the crickets sold in Petco are very hygienic and there aren't very many options to cultivating them. You need a plague's worth of locusts to equate the food needs provided by a single cow and managing the hygiene of that number of individuals is much harder than handling a couple bovines.
Bugs are often dirty and have many diseases and parasites specifically made to transfer through consumption of an invertebrate host, and it can be fatal. There's a reason humans largely evolved to not eat most insects and even tribes usually cook them in some manner before consuming them. And yes, I'm sure SOME bugs can be made safe to eat. But I'd rather not, and people shouldn't be forced to. INB4 climate change, Medieval societies in Europe had meat, fruit & grain to eat pre-industrial revolution so obvious it is possible to have that without destroying the climate, and Soviet Agriculture also proved itself.

It's a bit like the overweight thinking it's easier to convince everyone that fat can be sexy, instead of just losing weight themselves if they're that uncomfortable with it. It's easier to continue with the decimation of the planet's ecosystem and have us all live on mashed up cockroaches (of course, they will still get their fill of steaks no matter how rare and expensive it becomes), than to just stop destroying the planet for profit.
If you needed more proof, the current lab-cultivated meat is a demonstration of this:
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/jun/17/lab-grown-meat-no-kill-food>In Singapore, the US company Eat Just gained approval to sell its nuggets of lab-grown chicken to consumers in December 2020. Under the brand name “Good Meat”, Eat Just rolled out its first products at an exclusive social club. Diners sample a bao with sesame chicken and pickled cucumber and a maple waffle served with chicken nuggets.>In April, Eat Just partnered with another restaurant to begin introducing its chicken to a wider public via a delivery service. As well as the Asian chicken salad, the Cantonese restaurant is also selling their novel meat in the form of chicken dumpling and chicken fried rice. Demand has already been high – just a few minutes after appearing online, the eight servings for the day were sold out.>Cultured meat has made strides in the last few years, but production remains small. Although the science of tissue culture has been around for more than half a century, growing sufficient flesh to make an edible product at a competitive price has been the major challenge. Good Meat’s meals are priced at 23 Singapore dollars (about US$17) – certainly not a cheap portion.Also note that many people do not feel like consuming insects.
https://thebeet.com/new-survey-finds-consumers-who-want-save-the-planet-would-rather-eat-plants-than-bugs/>The European Consumer Organisation, BEUC, surveyed consumers from 11 European countries (Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia and Slovenia) to find out people's attitudes towards sustainable foods and alternative protein sources>Two-thirds of consumers would change their diet for the environment and would rather eat plant-based burgers (without GMOs) and sustainable proteins like legumes rather than nibble on insects, even though bugs have the same amount of protein as poultry and beef. Only 10% of consumers would prefer insects over plant-based proteins. This isn't to say that Modern Bourg Agriculture is good or seeking alternatives to it is bad, but that porky is clearly being exploitative. I think everyone recalls the Cockroach slabs in Snowpiercer and the class-warfare narrative. That said, modern bourg production systems are terrible. Besides the ethically terrible treatment of animals, it's also extremely harmful. Cattle production is the most carbon-intensive form of animal protein and is the top agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide, estimated to amount to 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. If you've ever been to the Texas Panhandle, there are massive feedlot operations dotting the landscape with thousands of cattle in a single lot literally burping and farting out enormous amounts of ammonia 24/7 and it's so pervasive it can burn your nose and eyes, and in the evening when the winds blow in, this combination of ammonia and airborne fecal matter drift into nearby Amarillo and you can smell it everywhere you go. People there call it "shust" (shit dust) and "shog" (shit smog).
As for Lab Meat, having eaten some, I have to say that it's not that tasty, lacking fat and the influences of the environment and food on the flesh that a real, living cow has. It's still a good supplement and alternative to Pink Slime Burgers, but I wouldn't call it a replacement. Currently its best use could be niche; supplementing real meat supplies for countries lacking food and providing opportunities for faithful Muslims and Jews to taste haram food without being punished.
>Abdul Qahir Qamar of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy said that cultured meat "will not be considered meat from live animals, but will be cultured meat." For cells derived from pigs, dogs, and other haram animals, the meat would be considered vegetative and "similar to yogurt and fermented pickles.
