I cannot understand how it is possible that the phrases like "food security" instead of "hunger" became used widespread organically seemingly out of nowhere. Genuine question, can someone explain that to me without resorting to some sort of conspiracy theories?
All of the people who are saying they'd never eat it and will stick with their beef/chicken/pork are the same kind that said hell no to EVs. They'll die out and the world will adapt to a changing food economy just as we did with the changing fuel economy.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Depends what you want to do with the meat. Corn fed beef is superior for certain applications like BBQ.
Corn-fed beef is bland and greasy. Next you'll be telling me that Aberdeen-Angus beef is good...
Aaron Franklin has gone on about why and it’s because of the long cook times. BBQ is smoked and seasoned so I’m not sure the bland opinion matters.
I've considered eating algae as an alternative source of DHA with less risk of microplastic contamination, but I've had a hard time finding definitive evidence of what types of algae contain significant levels of DHA.
And from what I understand it's mostly micro-algae with EPA/DHA.
I love all these whacky avenues people take when eating just plants is a very low foot print option available to almost everyone. We don’t need to eat crickets, we don’t need to eat algae, we don’t need bioreactors for growing meat. I think the main reason we don’t hear more about just how goddamn efficient a bowl of lentils and rice is, or oatmeal, is because it’s not sexy. You just can’t make a start up on beans an…
Huge swathes of the human population doesn't eat that much meat, India being my go to example of delicious vegetarian food spanning a very very long time.

I could ask why use the term "Hunger" rather than "Starvation" or "malnutrition" etc.
Food security I think of as a measure of the risk associated of available nutrient supplies not being adequate to meet the need (not the market demand, as that may differ) of people in a particular locality.
Hunger is an end state feeling in a human-being when they feel the need to eat.
You can have terrible food security and no hunger if there is tremendous risk of mass starvation due to small unforseen disruptions in supply, but there is existing supply and forecasted supply to meet demand if all goes well.
We already eat various forms of algae. Some are quite nutritious, some give us tummy troubles, some at excellent sinks for CO2. I'm very curious if we could mass manufacture something like algae and then pyrolize it to get fuel and solid carbon to sequester. If we find some good ideas for kelp, there's whole coastlines whose kelp forests have been decimated. We could start propagating and sustainably harvesting it an…
I've eaten 4.6g of spirulina in the last 24 hours in the form of the Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness smoothie. No taste issues to speak of. I for one welcome our new algae overlords.
I avoid it, possible ALS risk.[1][2][3]
