Our VEGAN FUTURE

I'll be 96 in 2050.  (Or, more likely, I won't be at all!)

When do we run out of food even if we are all vegan?

Becoming vegan doesn't stop humanity from ruining the Earth for human lilfe.

No fish of course in 2050...

But, insects may start to look a lot like food.

"Declining rates of circumcision among newborn boys in the U.S. could add up to billions of dollars in unnecessary medical costs for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, a new study warns."

Oh, the unintended (perhaps foreseeable) effect of little to no "safety net".

Disease, it happens to all of us, therefore we ought to be sure we all have health care.

What part of "common sense" did I miss?

How do "Rugged Individualism" and TB differ?  

One seems to have infected Republicans.

VHEMT quote of the day...

"Over a quarter of the world's population live in these regions where groundwater is being overused,"   Canadian hydrologist Tom Gleeson told AFP in a phone interview.

One quarter of humans is a lot.  

Yet, somehow I doubt anything will change, and continued extraction will occur until none is left to extract.

The thing about climate - changes are pretty much permanent.

Thing about human nature - "getting one over" on Nature was a great vocation for humans for 2 million years.

Now, Nature's been disrupted due to our "rough play"...

Adaptation Haiku

without water, rain

survival "our way of life"

Bible's: dust to dust

The supply chains that bring us "our way of life" are not robust.

Failure is always an option (to quote The Mythbuster's!)...

These storms have all hit in alphabetical order so far this year, I've noticed? Don't know what the odds of something like this is, but it's interesting.
