All of these dumb-ass liberals reject modern technology - forgetting why that technology was developed to begin with.

Fertilizers allow farmers to grow more to feed more. They use pesticides to preserve crops on the vine. Equipment running on, yes OIL, allows higher productivity from fewer people. Using preservatives allows shipping over distance which ultimately results in the use of a truck, again running on oil, to get it to the store, where there is refrigeration.

Take all that away and you are back to the pre-industrial era with pre-industrial problems like famine and pestilence.

The only reason civilization en masse gets away with the “health” craze from killing everybody is because it doesn’t dominate the market.

If the entire world went back to subsistence farming today, I bet over 90% of the population would die off. For myself, I’m quite happy not to have to work from sunup to sundown to simply feed myself and make sure I have enough for the winter.

But I guess that’s a good thing, if you value the environment more than human life.
