just thinking about how the original concept for the "organic" branding was that genetically modified food would need fewer pesticides to outcompete weeds or chemical supplements to survive stress. and then none of that happened

lol they're engineering crops to handle more pesticides than ever before:

quote:

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans combine high yield potential with a built-in tolerance to both glyphosate and dicamba, giving your crop a head-start against tough grass and broadleaf weeds. It’s early season control to set your crop up for maximum yield potential.

why sell a farmer a friggin soybean when you could instead sell them a complete farming solution?

lol so in the face of glyphosate resistant weeds their response is "uhhhh what about TWO pesticides"? glyphosate and Bt toxin are two of the oldest ideas kicking around for engineering pesticide resistance, we thought of them before we even had the technology to MAKE those mutants. and we're still loving with glyphosate even with all its problems. lol.

The soybeans are fine, that's what pesticide resistance does. It's the people who eat the soybeans that might have issues.

in all seriousness, I have worked a public hotline for asbestos-related inquiries, and have had to support a mother who exposed her children to asbestos thru sanding old floor tiles. what a horrible thing to have hanging over your head for the next four decades.

Oh I think the doomer vibe is pretty strong on the slopes, actually. I went to Sugarbush on Saturday and evened up having a casual conversation on the lift with a guy that included him saying that his kids were there with him taking a lesson, but "clearly" that would never share this with their own kids and also that means we're headed for problems vastly worse than "boo hoo no snow to go 50mph on".

It always catches me off guard when this threads' opinions fall out of the mouths of strangers in meat space, and it's a thing that happens a lot now that never happened in 2014.

There's growing awarenesses among the frogs that the water is warmer than it was, and the decorum that prevents discission of this is breaking.

Edit: lol I used that analogy without even reading this page first and seeing the cartoon. Blessed

Also, my wife used to love oatmeal, it was a staple.

She stopped eating it a couple years/three ago because it started causing digestive issues. She attributed this to hormonal changes following the birth of our second kiddo, but the timing is about right, maybe actually she's unusually sensitive to chlorquatwhatveter?

The night soil market is ripe for disruption


quote:

Statistics obtained through the Bureau of Agriculture, Japan, place the amount of human waste in that country in 1908 at 23,950,295 tons, or 1.75 tons per acre of her cultivated land.
The International Concession of the city of Shanghai, in 1908, sold to a Chinese contractor the privilege of entering residences and public places early in the morning of each day in the year and removing the night soil, receiving therefor more than $31,000, gold, for 78,000 tons of waste. All of this we not only throw away but expend much larger sums in doing so.
