Just because something is natural doesn't mean its good. If you eat broccoli without pesticides, you have probably eat a lot of caterpillars too. With genetic modification, we can have plants which kill insects that eat them, while not harming human beings. And in cultures that mainly eat rice, there is a high amount of vitamin A deficiency. \"Golden rice\":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice can fix this by giving rice the ability to synthesize beta-carotene. This makes the rice more, not less, nutritious. And GMOs are not completely unnatural. \"Gene transfer occurs naturally in nature.\":http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/01/how-a-quarter-of-the-cow-genome-came-from-snakes/\r\n\r\nThe Genetic Literacy Project, RationalWiki and Biofortified are good independent sources of GMO information.","author":"50b70eeb7f123b1a02000097"},{"id":"53686a22636872323eda0000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@Randomosaur\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/536869c163687246e5310000#post_536869c163687246e5310000\r\nThe problem with that is that It's very unlikely to create something that Just Harms Insects, It's very unlikely that it doesn't do some sort of damage to Humans, Also, Caterpillars?

It's not that we don't have enough food being made, rather it's that including transportation costs, production costs, farming costs/costs to raise cattle and so forth food is too expensive.\r\n\r\n\"Printed\" food(No it's different from 3D printing; I'm just using this term to make the process behind it easy to understand.  The actual process is essentially using bioink to grow in a lab essentially a burger ready to be cooked) on the other hand once set up only needs the base materials and the correct cells to start the process.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat I mean by this is that 20 years from now instead of a grocery store you're going to have a at home food synthesizer that you just occasionally fill with \"ink\" cartridges.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"53686a806368724ff17b0000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@gasmaskangel\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/53686a476368720375990100#post_53686a476368720375990100\r\nI admit that his post was worded a bit awkwardly, But I still fully agree with his point","author":"5062d6f17f123b3e16001184"},{"id":"53686b0e63687246e5260100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@twistedmetalero\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/5368699063687246b30d0000#post_5368699063687246b30d0000\r\nThis may shock you but did you know \"junk\" food such as pizza, hamburgers cheeseburgers, French firs and such are actually good for you if they are made with the right ingredients? Think about it like this: a pizza has a crust which gives you a serving of grains, the cheese gives you a serving of dairy, the pasta sauce gives you a serving of vegetables, and the pepperoni and sausage give you a serving of meat. If the pizza is made from natural ingredients, it's actually very good for you.

The disease really came from a lack of sanitation back then. Sewers were basically just troughs that waste was dumped in and flowed through the streets.
