You know, I've had about all the "progress" I can take for one lifetime. At the risk of sounding like a Luddite, enough already!
I really think
we're going to see some health issues from all the tampering being done to Mother Nature. I don't know what those issues will be, and it's more of a gut feeling than something based on undeniable proof. But I just don't see what's wrong with getting our fruits and vegetables from outside, peeling them, and eating them while you can still taste the sunshine that grew them. Why is it considered "advancement" to eschew this goodness?
We’ve all heard about lab-grown meat. But have you heard about lab-grown fruit? It's being developed in laboratory petri dishes right now, and Marie has the details in this article.
What are your thoughts about lab-grown fruit? Would you knowingly eat it? What pros and cons, if any, do you see? Do you think this will make its way to grocery stores? Am I unrealistically bothered by this?
Being in nature or outdoors is fantastic, but almost everything stings and hurts, particularly in the woods. Cold, heat, sun, rain, snow, darkness, vegetation, geography, hunger, loneliness, insects, and animals.
We aren’t built to cope well with the harsh wilderness, and that’s why cities and buildings exist. In the urban environment, we’re generally more protected, though many of the same challenges are present for those who don’t have a home: the weather, insects, animals, dirt, and trash – not to mention other humans. Therefore, shelter is equally vital in the city or in rural areas.
