This is rediculous. Can we end world hunger before turning this into an issue?

At least Obama's DOJ investigated Fergusom, Missouri and the murders by police in Chicago and Ohio.
There will be no Loretta Lynch in Trump's administration. As a Black person, you'll be lucky if you catch a middle finger from a Guiliani led FBI.
How can you say what do Obama do about it??
There's a difference between making a piecemeal effort, and acting like police brutality is a figment of Black folk's imaginations.
Trump's DOJ isn't going to EVER investigate whether minority voting rights are being violated. We're basically on our own with very few allies in D.C.:-|
That's why I said the next four years are gonna be like the government cheese/war on drugs era of Ronnie Raygun.
If you see a cop, I'd advise you to slowly turn around and walk the other way.

T'would. They'd be less unhinged. Like, TDK needs to give up the meat asap.
I'm going to bake you a seitan "meat" loaf and you will love it!!
Oh give me a break! There are all sorts of completely unhinged vegetarian and vegans running around. Have you ever been to California?

Could you not make the same argument that plants deserve to live and why must they die for you to eat them?
Also is he not protecting those plants from being eaten by eating the animals?

Kind of puts things into to prespective when you realize half the country decided not to even vote for these 2 shitty candidates.
Clinton won the the popular vote. In hindsight, it's obvious that the DNC should've chose Bernie Sanders as their nominee.

The world governments could step in and purchase more grains to feed the poor. By doing that it would be more profitable for farmers to sell more for human consumption. That alone would reduce the incentive to raise more cattle with the available land and shrink the beef industry. The beef that would remain available would be more expensive, but it would be worth the cause.Glad you mentioned it...

So, yes the world could benefit from shrinking the beef industry. All the other available meats remaining can afford to go untouched. People don't eat as much of the other red meats anyway. (At least not in the US)
The meats that are not red are not creating any kind of problem.
While feeding the poor poultry, eggs, honey and seafood should also be given to them whenever possible.
We need to be concerned about what's happening to the bees. If they die, we wont be far behind them.

It's refreshing to see your bee awareness. Many are ignorant to the vital (pollinating) role they play in our very survival.
Interesting that you bring up the profit incentive to farmers. Right now it's fiscally advantageous to raise cattle, than it is fruit grains and vegetable, because the Govt greases their palms. Good ol boys looking out for their bank accounts.

Fret not. Because nanobot bees will replace real bees soon enough.

Two years ago our 4-H club started a bee keeping project similar to this one http://www.ironbeekeeper.org/. It has been great for the kids to raise awareness of the importance of bees and our food chain, the challenges to the bee population, and has the added bonus of producing a revenue stream for the club as we are able to sell the honey through some local stores.
It was a tough road to get the project approved (even in our rural community) as many are still scared of bees (some valid concerns with allergies, ect., some just were assholes about the project and did not want it) as well as insurance issues for the club, but in the end it has worked out well. We partnered with some local bee keeping clubs to train our kids, great skill to have.
We are looking into this, but there seem to be some concerns about how the product works...

Ah..Nanobot Women and bees...the mad scientists think they have it all figured out. :twisted:
Then one day, they will come looking for us and bees when they find themselves on the brink of extinction...Only to find a Colony of women and one smart man who is impregnating them all :freehug::smt061:smt061:smt061 for a new Utopia World Civilization ....where the men who prefer sex with robots ( you know who you are) will be begging to join

This honey extraction video is brillant.
Have never heard about it. What are the concerns?
What a Great club. How wonderful that you are making kids aware..as a child l never knew how important they are to humans.
I really love honey and l'm still researching if honey is merely the elimination or by-product from bees, and thus not taking anything substantive from them...or if honey is mandatory for their functioning as bees. It doesn't seem to harm them by us taking it, but l still don't know for sure.

Don't tell your vegan friends they are against eating honey.
It's the only sweetner I use.

Most of the negative feedback I have heard is about the plastic comb per below
"This newfangled honey collection system is comprised of plastic. Bees don't particularly like plastic, Ask any organic beekeeper. They don't need it. They fashion wax –a living substance – out of their own abdomens. Wax is where they store their food (nectar and pollen) and house their young. Wax vibrates and changes temperature.
"…Comb is far more than a Tupperware container for somebody else's lunch; it is the tissue and frame of the hive and as such it forms multiple functions,"
Basically from what I can tell, traditionalist beekeepers do not like the "flow hive" because of the plastic comb, and the automation features does not teach humans how to truly and properly interact with and respect the bees, basically making it "too easy". I say anything that helps bees with more habitats and creates more people being open to having their own hives is a good thing, but im still researching, plus the cost to the club ($600-$700 per hive) is not cheap.

I'm fully aware they are. But lm not sold yet on why. Many vegans don't eat it because they consider it secretions from an animal.(insect) My guidelines are: does it harm them? If no, then l eat it.
I only use pure honey though, not the heavily processed kind. As a child, my mother fed us unfiltered honey-comb, which we chewed on like it was gum. So l aquired only that taste.
