We have to feed the masses, and we need to pick those foods which are best suited for the task.


Who's this "WE" you speak of, and how in the hell did people survive before "WE" came on the scene and began shipping product all over the place to feed them?

Answer.... They fed their own damn self, and built civilizations and cities that could sustain their populations, which is why you find most people on the planet residing along bodies of water, or access to them, and the rest are very heavily agrarian, because that's how people feed themselves.







You said our ancestors picked and chose what was best to feed them, and I showed you that the picked what was locally in season. What they had left over, they canned for when it wasn't in season. That's how normal people live.

"We" - as in the Human Race - have outgrown the Earth's capacity for traditional agricultural production.

Therefore, to feed mankind, we have to alter our food supply.

I take it you grow and hunt all your own food? Or do you let someone else do that? Like the majority of the world.

Know how I know you didn't read the article linked?


Mainly cause it specifically says our ancestors picked certain foods and allowed others to go extinct. They picked those best suited to feed the population.
