In this case, no-one but myself. I see it as a moral obligation though.
[QUOTE=Ogopogo;44189607]Or let less food go to waste.
Seriously. Working last night at a grocery store, I had to throw out several hundred dollars of strawberries because we received a poor quality order. Maybe around 96 1 lb boxes or so[/QUOTE]
Yeah they seriously should just sell that stuff super cheap,
i.e if a restaurant chef goes to the store he's obviously going to pick the best strawberries which have absolutely no blemish on them otherwise they can't serve them. But say a hungry student (ME YOU MOTHERFUCKERS) would probably not care and just get some cheap strawberries and eat them that day before they go bad.
It could also be that they're covering their ass in case of food poisoning/mould spread
Well at the end of the day the super rich are going to continue to manipulate money and opporunity until there IS a mass die off of humans, even though there doesn't have to be, and they will teach it in the history books as if they are the great saviours for letting 6 billion people die. If we all had a chance to become educated, we would stop having so many kids on our own, and add tot he technology that reduces the strain from our population, but rich people think that only they and their family are the smart ones and everyone else is just retarded half-aborted writhing masses that just go around fucking and using up resources.
No one WANTS to live in poverty, the rich have given most of us NO OTHER CHOICE, and we would work our selves out of this problem by colonizing space if they did.
[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;44208555] The 'problem' is not that we can't generate more food. That IS something we can solve one way or another.[QUOTE]
Actually, that is the major problem which I don't think anyone has the answer for. Our food supply requires huge amounts of petro-chemicals and mined phosphates, and unless someone has a solution to peak oil and peak phosphorus, we're likely headed towards a major catastrophe well before the end of this century.
And I really don't know why the fuck we have a biofuels industry. Talk about wasting valuable resources.

Its terrible how much food we throw out, imagine how far 96 (Or so) pounds of strawberries would go if given to the hungry

Don't even need to colonize space, would be plenty enough to make the people more aware of the massive fuckglob of corruption and the importance of ecology. Once people recognize they can do something about all this together most of these problems could be fixed. Probably not going to happen though at which point terminator will start to look rather positive. People at large are way too depressed and lethargic about these things.

Can we please stop this stupid colonising space bullshit? Not a single person here who has talked about colonising space has backed up their viewpoint with any form of academic resource explaining why it is viable. I reckon that the only reason that you and people like you say we should colonise space is because you think space and NASA and lasers are the coolest things ever, nothing more.

I'm not sure how much food is being wasted by people in general when compared to the food thrown away in restaurants but someone should certainly investigate it.

Space colonies have population growth too.

Biofuels usally requires more energy to make then what you get out of it. In the end it is just a product that is being sold at a high price with the false promise of it being enviromentally clean.
Nothing can fill the oil gap. We are headed towards a cataclyzmic event, it does not matter what we do to stop it. All that is needed to trigger this "event" is one big disaster which will disrupt the flow of energy. Thus taking away everything that is needed to maintain the current global population.
Maybe we need this event to happen.. how else will humanity finally learn that we are not above nature?
i personally think global unrest would be pretty cool
Alternatively, America could take 60% out of their diet.
what about our gains bro
actually no
cut out all the bad unnecessary stuff and we'd be pretty well off
