::don't infect me with your poison::

My Assignment:

"Please read and respond to the chapter 7 questions in Bioethical Issues on page 132 of your textbook. In 1986, it was estimated that humans already use 40% of the Earth's terrestrial photosynthetic production, and therefore we should reach maximum capacity in the middle of the 21st century when the population is expected to double. What do you feel is the best approach to meeting the world population's growing food production needs?"


My Response:

"The only solution and salvation for mankind is to put our trust in the corporations who, as we speak, are struggling to synthesize a cheap, efficient means of supporting our rapidly growing population. They will eventually manage to create synthetic food products that resemble high-energy vegetable concentrates. They will probably come in different colors, such as red or yellow. As time goes by, this super-food will be refined to become more palatable and nutritious. It may even take on a new trade name, to further it's sales. However, as time goes by, the people will begin to realize that this savior comes at a heavy price. They will find that the food production will mirror the depletion of the human population, to the point where those beyond the upper echelons will come to realize the horrible truth.

IT'S PEOPLE."


I consider this a perfectly reasonable and realistic response, which says all kinds of things about me.
