[DRAFT]Regulation of Artificial Food

[Democratic Empire of Romania]

Category : Health
Area of Effect : Bioethics


The General Assembly,

Notes that advancement in industry has led to the creation of artificial food, including meat, fruit and vegetables. These products were submitted to studies which proved that these foodstuffs are meeting tge required qualities of the natural food.

The artificial food is produced through genetical engineering. Through this process, the product might be changed in color, taste or size, along with adding more nutritive substances. This industry has evolved, thus making artificial food easier to produce

However, a lot of people make a living from produnatural food. The expansion of artificial food would lead to a high lose of jobs in agriculture, including a juge number of families which produce natural food.

The General Assembly declares:

A balance shall be kept between natural and artificial food. The total production of food shall be divided as following: Artificial food produced per year shall represent 5% of the total production of the year vefore. If the artificial food is a success, the cap shall be raised accordingly, adding 1% of the total production of the last year. The cap shall not be raised further than 50 %, keeping a balance between natural and artificial food, along with stimulating the artificial food industry to grow in a cohesive manner.

The Security Council,

Pssst.

Unless you are literally condemning artificial food, you won't get anywhere addressing the security council!

... These products were submitted to studies which proved that these foodstuffs are as healthy as normal food and more eco-friendly, along with being easier and cheaper to produce.

... Also, this means the produce of food with less nutritives. Concerning is that through genetical engineering, poison and toxic substances may be added.

"Which is it, Ambassador? Are these things good for you or are they poisonous? Surely you can't have it both ways. Figure out what you're looking at and target your regulations to that thing only."

1. The World Assembly Food Regulation Commission ( WAFRC ) is created. It shall check the quality of food by various tests not limited to size, color, taste and nutritives.

"Ambassador, why are you creating a duplicate agency when WAFDRA is still alive and kicking, and perfectly capable of doing its job?"

2. The WAFRC shall perform mandatory tests upon the food producers, to ensure that their products do not contain toxins, poison or other lethal chemical elements.

OOC: So the poor farmers and fishermen etc have to submit their products—stool and urine—to be tested for toxins, poison, and other lethal chemical elements?

The General Assembly,

Notes that advancement in industry has led to the creation of artificial food, including meat, fruit and vegetables. These products were submitted to studies which proved that these foodstuffs are as healthy as normal food and more eco-friendly, along with being easier and cheaper to produce.

However, a lot of people make a living from producing natural food. The expansion of artificial food would lead to a high lose of jobs, thus the downfall of big food-based corporatiobs. This would lead to a economic crisis. Aren’t large food based corporations responsible for all the illnesses caused by pesticides anyway? Wouldn’t getting rid of the need for pesticides be good for, well, everyone?

The artificial food is produced through genetical engineering. Through this process, the product might be changed in color, taste or size. Also, this means the produce of food with less nutritives. Concerning is that through genetical engineering, poison and toxic substances may be added.

Through, poison and toxic substances are understood substances which might cause illness or death.

Thereby, the Security Council declares the following: Still not the SC, mate.

1. The World Assembly Food Regulation Commission ( WAFRC ) is created. It shall check the quality of food by various tests not limited to size, color, taste and nutritives.
2. The WAFRC shall perform mandatory tests upon the food producers, to ensure that their products do not contain toxins, poison or other lethal chemical elements. If you’re not running an anarchy, I find hard to believe that your national food regulation agency wouldn’t have done that anyway.
3. The tests' results will decide if the food is good for sale or not. If not, the products shall be phisically sealed away and eliminated. If they pass, they shall be given a certificate which stats that the food is eligible for trade. The certificate will be given with a special mark which shall be put on the sign stating the price.States, not stats. Also, don’t most nations worth their salt make sure that food is safe for sale anyway? And if they don’t, businesses will. Getting your customers sick is not good for business, unless you run the pharmaceutical industry.

Furtherly,


1. The falsification of the certificate shall be banned.
2. If one will falsificate the certificate and/or the mark, it shall be punished according to current law.

Basically, I find that this proposal doesn’t do much that a decent government wouldn’t already do.

“The current active clause does not, in my eyes, meet the criteria of bioethics, as it does not restrict medical research or care in any way. Also, please define ‘artificial food’ as a great number of foodstuffs do not occur in the wild, including bread.”

"This assumes all species eat like humans. Many species might feed on chemicals, and things that are toxic to humans might not be for other species. For example, we are perfectly capable of eating rotting and raw meat safely, unlike humans. We have also practiced genetic engineering for centuries, so much so that baseline members of our kind have been rendered obsolete. We are planning on joining the WA very soon, so we are opposed."

That's some real species wank right there. To the OP, fire your ignore cannons at this.

How would this proposal interact with this: viewtopic.php?p=668491#p668491 ?

OOC: The previous edits were actually far more contradictory in relation to WAR #64, but unfortunately the OP has not kept the previous edits. A previous edit still appears in Kowani's comment above though. In comparison to the content in the previous edits, the current draft is basically an entirely new proposal, bearing little resemblance to the previous drafts...

I focysed on what I really wanted.

[Wallenburg]

So cooking is basically banned?

Hmm...this proposal would probably disproportionately affect nations that depend on GMO crops for large parts of their food supply, huh? Although I can’t think of any off the top of my head in NS, there’s probably someone who’s nation’s soil is so poor that GMO crops are the only things that work, or are resistant to pests. (These are based off of RL examples, so take them with a grain of salt.) Most of the time, you really don’t want to become dependent on foreign imports for food, and pesticides, especially when overused tend to be, y’know, not good for the body.
