Food and population growth seem to go together regardless of what species we are talking about. Mammals, Fish, Reptiles, Birds, Insects, it hardly matters which category we are in, food supply affects the population growth, and it’s all about the food chain and adaptation whether the species survives, collapses or adapts – Darwin articulately made mention of this, and today no one refutes such observations.
Food yes, it has an effect on population growth, for instance scarcity. With humans, when they eat the wrong foods they have health issues like Diabetes causing lower sperm counts, meaning fewer offspring but just as much fun practicing without actually conceiving. Our GMO foods will either be a net positive or net negative on population growth and we as of yet do not know which. Not long ago, I ask a technologist; “What are your thoughts on the new 3D Printing of food – kind of reminds me of the Star Trek version of the ‘food synthesizer’ and not that I want to put chefs out of business with more robotics in the workplace, but it is interesting?”
Mr. Nevejans, a think tanker type and culinary guru writes; “I didn’t know diabetes had an effect on sperm count, not too much diabetes in my family. GMO corn can have similar properties, it might sound cruel to some people, it actually sounds more like smart thinking. We cannot grow indefinitely on a finite planet. I don’t think there is something different about 3D printing than any other industrial prepackaged food. On the contrary, it might even make people more aware of what they eat, it might also be easier to promote vegetarian dishes, since they could make it look and taste like anything you want.”
Yes, some good points right? I totally agree on the 3D printing thing, it might really wake people up as to what is in the food they eat, especially if they are one’s creating it. Wow, that might be the way to get humans to eat right? This brings a whole new spin on “preparing a meal” and maybe we are about to enter a future where types of food and abundance of supply change the entire dynamic of human population growth. Since everything effects everything else, we will have to keep an eye on GMOs and 3-D printing of food stuff and then study the statistics and research this issue to know for sure. Think on it.
