Food is Gross

[Prpl_Mage]

Doubt it. Never tried any of them, but dog food is made of whatever is left of the meat they produce + whatever is left of their crops. Some smart guy had the brilliant idea for taking the left overs, mixing it in one product, and selling it as "Dog food".

But of course, that was many years ago.

I feel sorry for your dog if that's your definition of dog food.
Dog food is supposed to be more healthy than our food. Because dogs can't handle too much fat or sugar without going barrel rolling.

I mean the world's gonna end in 2 years so what's the point? Eat, drink and be merry - regardless of how much it kills ya   Not like the people that are making huge profits off this are gonna suddenly have a change of heart anyway.

[Valiere]

Right, the world is going to end. Just like it did in Y2K and in '84 when Nostradamus said it would.

Oh, and in '06, '07, and '08 like Yisrayl Hawkins predicted.

So when 2012 comes and goes when's the next major apocalypse?  I cast my vote for 2020.

[drenrin2120]

2026 '29 and '31. One of those dates, there's a small chance of some asteroid hitting us. I forget which one tho and I forget where I heard about the other dates and what they're about. I could have them wrong.

[Prpl_Mage]

Let's put it like this.
The fact that the world might end isn't really news.
Most religions have been aware of the distant apocalypse for many hundred years. But we shouldn't worry too much about the stuff that can't be avoided. Like our sun exploding, moon crashing into us, molten core freezing up, meteor showers or alien attacks.

[drenrin2120]

They're just dates. The world could end at any moment. A distant gamma ray burst could obliterate us. There's no real way to predict that. We would be alive one second, then bright light, then dead.

So yeah, predictions of the end of the world, whether scientific or psuedo-bullshit, not much you can do about it, and the chances are slim, so calm down.

[MissingName]

we will all be dead anyway.

Unless you're a vampire or something.

[Zerlina]

Like our sun exploding, moon crashing into us, molten core freezing up, meteor showers or alien attacks.

You've put a lot of thought into this

You've put a lot of thought into this

Not nearly enough thought if he thinks any of those are legitimate threats in the near future (where "near future" is at least 500 years). Yes, most of those will happen in the lifecycle of the planet, but I figure by the time they're actually impending, humanity will either have blown itself up, left the planet, or have powers and abilities so far beyond our imagination that they can just deal with it outright.

Heck, of that entire list, alien attacks is actually the most legitimate danger, and the only reason that is so is because of general fear of the unknown - we can't be sure that there aren't aliens with that sort of capability. But we're darn sure the rest of those things aren't going to pose a threat any time sure.

I was actually just making a sarcastic joke lol  Basically I'm just agreeing with what someone else said about the money aspect to it. So might as well just appreciate what you have and enjoy life, regardless of how or what you eat, because who knows maybe it will be over tomorrow. Not saying it's pointless to be humanitarian, but in the large scheme of things this one just isn't a battle that can be won.

[Prpl_Mage]

We shouldn't lose hope though. The world can be made a better place, but we can't change the fate of the world.

[Cerebus]

I actually wish the world could be like 1984's. As long as I am a member of the party! Well, the higher party, not the regulars. Or thought, police, yeah, definitely.

But no, the world sucks and will always suck. Why? Humans...

We have a thread called "Everything sucks" for those statements. This is about foodstuff... Or was about.
