The space in your head

First, there were fights over religion, then it was political ideologies, now it's about which food to eat.
Mankind really is bored like an overdeveloped ape with too much free time on his hands, isn't it?

Part I

Noticed you weren't there.
But I don't know your work schedule or your other activities, so that you did not find the time or the motivation to lurk around here...

When you regard the crap during these days, it seems like a lot of people have a lot of free time to spend. 'Cause, as I keep saying, from praying, you don't get your stomach filled; also you don't get anything changed in your favor, if you just do pilgrimage to a preacher and assemble in a single spot every week babbling all kinds of nonsense all the time.
As for the food thing, the best position I have once heard about it is: This is mainly a problem existing in countries where you have food oversupply. It's not an issue in countries where the populace is poor and the food scarce.
Actually, thinking back in time, it also was the same here decades ago. Ask everyone who's still alive from those people which survived or were born in the post-WWII years... I don't think they can find much understanding for that. As they were born in a time were meat was an exception, expensive and where you longed for being able to afford it once in while for that reasons.
And why did people long for it? Because they knew, without, you will, sooner or later, experience serious health problems. At least if you do the stunt of totally abandoning eating food from animal sources (like milk, eggs and cheese).
During the war years, everyone struggled for surviving and not starving, and also for not making your teeth fall all out by themselves. So they weren't that picky if it was about food stuff (except for things one individually really couldn't eat because of physical issues).
And it made them survive.

So, what would that be in a situation like that if people started to act like some of that spoiled Westerners from these days? Death the first day it started.

Actually, the environmental reasons those people cite as well as the criticism towards factory farming I can understand and support, but I don't see where it starts to change when I suddenly start to reject all of this. I don't go on existing from nothing, so that's what brings me quickly back to being dependent on that machine. And not everyone's got a farm he can grow everything for his own needs on. Needless to say, electricity needs to be paid too - and not in pigs...
The more I think about and watch it, the more I get to think this topic is also way lot manipulated by outside forces. Why? Because a lot of the answers that people deliver against the ills systematically are wrong from scientifical points. People from former centuries and decades weren't as dumb as Neanderthals, knowledge from these days is based on knowledge from former times, so the basics of these are mainly correct. This whole lot of shit "science found out, the whole branch has bee wrong for decades", I don't think it is real in such an extent as some people want to tell it to you.
