@@KairuHakubi how refreshing! Yes, you're right. Technology and advances in agronomy is the way to efficiency and economy of scale. People who don't understand agriculture freak out when told the romanticized vision of the "salt of the earth," by-hand producer hasn't been a sustainable business model for at least 40 years. The more we innovate, the fewer animals are affected, and the more people we can feed.

@@Level1Hera indeed. meanwhile we have inefficient farming and inferior produce literally used as a marketing tool, an overpriced boutique product for people who hate science, despite outwardly having made science into their god.

yes, they were shown in schools (way before my time) as "educational" films. I currently work at a school (janitor) and the ONLY time a teacher shows a film is about 8 minutes before dismissal, usually a "how it's made" video to calm the younger kids before that last bell rings.
