Jon, I should have realized our resident food fetishist would leap to the fray. The "nutrition" information from the "IN N OUT" people is like a joke. I suppose those too unintelligent to analyze said information could mistakenly conclude that the fact that there is a lot of "nutrition" information means it must be pretty good food.
Which is not to say that I wouldn't like eating their burgers.
Meanwhile, food for creatures in the sea, which is food for us, and food for thought, there is a huge chlorophyll bloom around New Zealand. As you know, chlorophyll eats CO2. As you know, people roar around in cars, trucks, aircraft, ships, trains and stuff and heat their buildings and run their power stations and produce a LOT of C02.

In the chlorophyll world, it's PARTY TIME!! Which means, those next up the food chain are saying "PARTY TIME!!" too.
Our efforts to fill the atmosphere with CO2 to prevent the continuation of the ice age with rapid descent into the next glaciation, which could happen as early as this northern winter, are being defeated. What's worse, the cost of food will go down, and obesity will go up, as people start scoffing loads of sea food which will be in great supply. Fish and chips will be back on the menu. Though cooked, of course, in nitrogen blanketed 120 deg C olive oil, grape seed oil or similar polyunsaturated alpha linoleic acid yummies.
But, if we are going into an ice age, we had better be quite fat, like a blubbery walrus, to stay warm. Long skinny people with high surface to weight ratios will get cold easily. They are designed for tropical climates, not arctic.
The chlorophyll is going to suck all the CO2 we produce out of the air and into the food chain, which will, as has always happened, dump a lot of it to the bottom of the ocean, where hagfish will scoff what they can, the remainder being formed into oceanic sediment, carted across on tectonic plates to subduction zones, where it will be interred, only some of it coming back up through volcanoes.
