OK got it Spaceman.I hope you know this was just a dumb half drunk comment in light of how dumb this thread is. Indeed I live in a small apartment. Sure id love to raise chickens and grow my own vegetables but who's got time or space to do that? Perhaps rice was a bad example. What is the most ethical and ascetic food one could consume? I'm the opposite of a "foody". I confess I dont buy organic produce-gotta save $ for my extreme consumerist habit of eurorack.Well that may be your view. Rice has many environmental issues including methane generation and pesticide use. It’s also an industry that has significant social issues. Do you know where your rice comes from? Rice farm owners don’t farm the rice. I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent wading around rice paddies picking the rice getting stung by the virus bearing mosquitos which infest rice paddies, but my guess is 0 seconds. Not to mention that the establishment of broad acre rice lands has resulted in widespread deforestation in Asia. Also, not everyone has the luxury of a garden. Most people, globally, live in apartments. It might be enlightening for you to learn more about the food that you are, apparently, quite literally consuming.Buying Food is extreme consumerism. You should be eating rice and beans for every meal or better yet only eating home grown vegetables (with an occasional roadkill possum for protein). There is no reason to spend thousands of dollars on groceries, not to mention restaurants, on food that you are quite literally consuming.
I mean I’m sorry Spaceman Jacques, but if you hold up rice as an ethical decision you really know nothing about rice, and if you think most people can grow their own vegetables you know nothing about how most people live.
It's a big problem! There are huge islands of discarded eurorack modules popping up in the middle of the ocean. If it weren't for all these damn modular nerds we'd be living in a zero carbon footprint Marxist utopia!
