FOOD RANT!

Off the microphone of RE

Aired on the Doomstead Diner on June 13, 2014

Discuss this Rant at the Podcast Table inside the Diner

Snippet:

…For today, I figured I should get off the topic of Monetary Madness and Geopolitical Jousting percolating through the daily Newz Reports in the MSM and Blogosphere Punditry to look at another facinating topic of collapse, FOOD. What you eat, how much you eat, where it comes from, how much it costs, who produces it, how far it travels to get to your dinner plate…Food is a fucking Cornucopia of topics to cover for the Doomer!

If you live in the FsoA, or in fact most countries in Europe these days, the first topic that comes to mind when you think of Food is…FAT PEOPLE! Fat People everywhere! Sitting next to you on the bus, train or plane with their flab spilling over into the seat YOU paid for is a real pet peeve of mine. Man, if you can’t fit your bulk into one seat, you should have to buy two! Somebody who weighs 300 lbs takes twice as much fuel to jack up into the air as I do, why is this person paying the same price as me? If Airline tickets were sold like Air Freight, you would pay by the pound, or kilo for you Euro listeners out there. This would encourage regular airline passengers to STAY SKINNY! It might have a downside of encouraging Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia in the flyers as well, but I think the downside risk there is pretty small…

For the rest, LISTEN TO THE RANT!!!!

I don’t do casts, it’s just lazy journalism, IMO. First, one can read faster than listening, one can skim while reading or easily jump to the conclusion, and if one misses something, it’s easy to skip back to find, instead of rewinding over and over to parse a particular point.
