Then I guess I'm guilty sneaking my personal preferences. I wanted to have a conversation about the industrial food supply and failed to ask the right questions

It's OK if there's not a universal definition of every concept. Some things in life are culturally subjective - especially cuisine. However, I think an intelligent person can look at string cheese and say that's fake food.

I've started realizing that there is very little space for nuance and subjectivity in discussing things on HN

Then you just answered your own question if sausage is real food... so why are you asking?

But if you want to talk about curing meats, that's a fun topic. The ones my fam makes are way tastier than Jimmy Dean's

I wish HN had a dial to turn down the pedantry

Are you doing a semantic word-play thing, or are you genuinely curious about the food supply?

Edit: I see that you're a former lawyer. I'm going to assume it's a semantic word-play thing

Thank you for a detailed and nuanced history. No doubt the industrial processed food supply was necessary for the population growth in the latter half of 20th century. The agriculture industry will need some massive overhauls to survive the next century

The agro-industrial complex in general convinced Americans to buy trademark branded products instead of real food

I first thought this was a reference to 'monoculture' in the agriculture sector, and I'm also concerned about it surviving the algorithm.

I wonder how many millions of productivity hours have been lost in the past 3 years as people direct all of their emotional energy at the president

It's almost as if the free market has an incentive mechanism to innovate better products

I wish I had a nickel every time someone says _____ is destroying society

I made no implication that contemporary rural life is superior or in any way comparable to historical rural life.

Edit: I guess I'm being pedantic at this point. My personal position is industrial agriculture is failing rapidly and that the modern world will reconcile with the fact that either we will all starve, or learn how to farm again. I spend half the year working on an organic farm, and my life is immeasurably better than when I'm in the city (which is of course, only my personal subjective datum which and I realize how much HN hates anecdote as evidence)

I suppose I'm advocating for prevention instead of treatment and what the ideal conditions would be for good mental health so that treatment could be avoided in the first place.

I'm saying exactly what I said - there are some aspects of an urban technological life that are harmful to the human body

This scientific paradigm only is able to describe a treatment, it fails to diagnose a specific cause

I made no implication that contemporary rural life is superior or in any way comparable to historical rural life.

TikTok is betting that society wants it. Many to Many Broadcast is the normal cultural mode of Gen Z

I appreciate your pedantry - the scientific community understands the mechanical physiological body (skin, eyes, hair) on a cause-and-affect level, but hardly understands the mind and mood because mental health is such a subjective experience, it's nearly impossible to fit into modern a scientific paradigm

Our brains spent millions of years evolving in nature, makes sense that cramming into cities with unnatural lights and disrupting biological rhythm would make them go haywire

Economic disenfranchisement and the decimation of small farms

Thank you for all the replies, I have learned a lot. It seems like there are dozens of issues that need to be fixed in tandem. Meanwhile, I will stay as healthy as I can because that seems like the best plan for the moment

Every hospital I've been to seemed horribly understaffed.. and I'd be afraid of an underpaid surgeon. Not sure what waste you're referring to

How so? Anti-obesity laws?

Do you think high-paying healthcare sector and patent R&D in the US creates more incentive for research and development of new medicine & healthcare technology?

Thank you for the data. Which nation had a better model for health insurance that point in history?

Which nation had a better model at that point in history?

What is "dark money"?

What do they get into?
