As the year begins to wind down and the summer food season begins to wind down, the question of what to do with all of the leftover produce is a major concern for many farmers. The most common answer to this question is to either sell it or donate it to charity. However, there are three reasons why I believe our food system needs to change.
First, we have a massive surplus of food, but we are already over-consumptive. A food surplus does not mean we should immediately throw a big bonfire in the backyard and eat all of this food. We should instead start to spend money on education and nutrition and be more mindful of the health of our planet.
There’s a second problem with the current food system. The third problem is that we are not using the best technology to grow our food. There are many farms that are wasteful; they over-use chemical fertilizers, and they pollute the water and food sources with pesticides and herbicides. One of the most dangerous chemicals is formaldehyde. This formaldehyde is a cancer-causing chemical, and it’s the most widely used cancer-causing chemical on the planet.
Formaldehyde is also the number one chemical compound used in the manufacture of plastic. So if you use a plastic-making machine that produces plastic that contains formaldehyde, you may be releasing large amounts of that chemical into the air. This is most likely to happen if you’re not using plastic that you have used for a long time, and you don’t clean it properly. I’m not saying to avoid plastic altogether, but to use the best plastic you can, and to use it properly.
What plastic is best for you is a topic of debate among the plastics industry. Formaldehyde is one of the most notorious synthetic chemicals for its carcinogenic effects and it also has an extremely unpleasant odor. However, the reality is that you can use formaldehyde in a new home, even if you dont have a plastic-making machine. And, if you have a plastic-making machine, you can make a lot of plastic with it.
In the same way that you can use plastic bags, plastic bags in new homes are not inherently bad. What is bad though is the fact that you have to buy one and you have to buy them in bulk. And then you have to haul them home. And you have to wash them. And then you have to store them. And then you have to wash them again. And then you have to haul them home.
That’s just the way it works when you buy plastic bags in bulk, so you need to have an excuse to buy them in bulk. Like, “Hey, I’ll just have to buy some plastic bags,” or “I don’t have time to go out and buy them, but I’ll just have to buy some in bulk and save money.
Well that’s the way it works when you buy a car in bulk. You have to buy a brand new car in bulk and then all you have to do is drive it all home. If you buy a car in bulk, you don’t even have to wash it. When you go to the bathroom you just wash it. Like, a car in bulk is a car. Even if it’s a brand new car, your car is still a car. And that same logic applies to farming.
Buying in bulk is so much easier than buying new car. You can wash it, wash it, and sell it. You can even save money on it, but there is a catch: you have to buy it in bulk. You can only buy a car in bulk on the used market. And if you don’t want to run out and buy a whole bunch of the new stuff, you can just buy some of the older stuff instead.
So basically if you run out of a brand new car, the car is worthless.
