FOOOOD
"A species-- human or otherwise-- can flourish only if it avoids over harvesting it's food sources." Seems simple enough to understand right? And yet such a simply understood concept wasn't/isn't fully understood by some people. We have already well past our limit of over harvesting food sources, and now are at the point of cramming animals so tight in captivity they don't develop the bones and marrow to be able to walk. Seeds are modified with DNA from other organisms like fish or scorpions to withstand harsher environments and cut the growth rate in half while ruining the soil and surrounding life. This concept has been around for generations and yet we as humans manage to push our environment far past the limit. It's clear today how well we have ruined our system of agriculture and the corruption that has come along with it. And there are ideas floating around to slowly fix our food industry, but how much worse does it need to get before serious action is implemented? People have risen and stood together in attempt to overcome corporate influence in food growth but really, how bad will it get before the government realizes they probably should stop undercutting national health facts in regard to corporate's generous donations? Or before the laboratories decide to spend more time testing the effects of pesticide poison instead of mixing DNA with other species? It's obvious the people's voice doesn't matter nearly enough as long as there are mouths eating the food, so what needs to change?
