What are yalls thoughts on Farms

[A-Series-Of-Tubes]

Unfathomably important and cool things. I am very pro-farm (if you could believe it), and have wistfully thought of what being one would be like.

Not that great, if you're carrying stock. You get trampled underfoot and shat on.

I never thought I'd hear someone say that no one eats food anymore, but.... Here we are

Farms for produce are fine.

Farms for animals are not. We're not living in 1984 anymore.

Animal husbandry has a huge environmental impact that we should drastically reduce.

If we stopped farming animals, a lot of them would go extinct, Mr. Sheep

See my comment a few posts up.

All I see people eating are a bunch of foods with chemicals that are not okay for you .

We all eat from a farm no matter what chemical or perserative is added in the packaging process. Very few people practice permaculture and eat it fresh.
Edit: that said hunter gatherers are much more fit and capable people.
A reason why mongols managed to take out so many tribes that rely on agriculture.
Most capable person in contemporary era, Simo Hayha, is a hunter

Domestic sheep especially, evolutionally speaking, herbivores should not regularly lose in battle with their food.

Unless... ? Plant uprising now.
Plants rise up.

My entire country is dependent on agriculture, so I’d say farms are pretty pog.

I mean to be fair animal farming is pretty inefficient and a producer of pollution, so I'm not against getting rid of some of the extremely bad farms. However, my opinion is still farm good.

Depends on the setting. There’s plenty of locals where you can’t grow anything but inedible grass and shrub that humans can’t eat, but livestock can, and humans in turn eat the livestock.

Fortunately we can move food over long distances with ease.

Okay? Never said we couldn’t.

And all those pesky carbon emissions from the process

Eat local.

When I want to reduce the amount of meat produced, I am not talking about those areas

Eat local.

Eating pork instead of beef is more significant. It's surprising to me, as I used to think of pigs as particularly farty.

Not kosher. But eating just one or the other is limiting.

Chickens are rather benign when it comes to said carbon emissions. Also the healthier meat to eat, come to think of it.

We do eat a lot of chicken at least twice a week. Yes

I can honestly see that if consumed meat becomes totally synthetic in the future, that it'll probably just be chicken and nothing else.

How? The whole point of synthetic meat production is that it would separate meat from the current resources heavy production. I can’t imagine it be any easier or cheaper to grow chicken meat cells versus cow meat cells (or even human meat cells)

Health reasons mainly.

When has health concerns ever affected a societies diet?

Nah that’s a change that’s going to have to come form something other than synthetic meat.

Many times actually. Just look at the plethora of foods that are available now in comparison to before, such as low salt and low sugar options, gluten free, fat free etc.

And how much has that changed the health of our diets? We still eat too much meat, too much red meat, carbs, sugars, etc.

The mere fact there are options at all is itself a change in diet.

Yah, doesn’t mean that we mostly eat those options. Synthetic chicken would be an option, and a common one, but it’ll never fully replace other meats, just as it hasn’t now whole still Jen gone do the cheapest major meats.

I dunno man, shifts in the means of production do lead to some pretty drastic shifts in diet.
