But in order that everyone eats a banana, we had to produce, store and transport it efficiently, otherwise only around the tropics people would eat a banana.
Same for the salmon. Left to the rivers, only a few guys around the rivers wold eat the fish
Well... "everyone" perhaps the first question is "how many is everyone" ?
Have we humans gone into an "excess capacity" run that we reproduce without measure...?
We think in terms of ideal efficient productions.
What is the optimal, most efficient "production" of humans... or perhaps we should ask What is the most efficient "substenance level of planet earth"?
Are we so pretentious that we demand that the rest of all species in this planet serve us? if so, what level of quality should we strive for ? excellence"? or minimum possible common denominator ?
Elitist ? no, not necessarily.
We are democratic people who think everybody has the write to taste a salmon. For that, I think, we should produce more efficient.
well... ok, then what is the standard to set then... see above... excellence or minimum possible common denominator.
or... how many is "everybody" ?
I believe that if we have a responsibility to strive to produce efficiently... efficiently in terms of quantity or quality.
Is there a responsibility from us humans to mind our environment and the manner in which we impact it ?
Is there anything wrong with measuring our growth of population ? or be mindful of the environment that surrounds us... ?
So now.. it is not chicken in every pot... it is salmon in every microwave ?
when millions reproduce without logical measure, indeed religion --opium-- presents an obstacle to any effort to plan the size of the family, particularly in the poorest countries...
what hope do we have to provide what nature is capable to produce out of a river...
measure is the key and quality, (the highest possible) of life ought to be what we strive for...
maybe then... we can reproduce in equal quality what nature is capable to produce without the need of harmful "additives".
Lastly... yes, there are many democracies around the world of different levels... and in order to make such democracies and production processes efficeint, we should not forget an important question .... if we are to provide a salmon in every home... we should also ask... "how much?" and "Who is going to pay for it?"
[so we get the right answer, hence the efficent production we are after]
