"I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Mayer Wiener."
Yes, Posting Police, it IS an older article, but still a fun subject to discuss for those of us that grow/raise our own food. ;)
NOTE:
Marius Robles is the CEO and cofounder of Reimagine Food, the world’s first disruption center focusing on anticipating the future of food. He is currently finishing his book Eatnomics: The New Food Economy, which provides a new perspective on where the future of food is heading, along with the opportunities and challenges that will come within.

“Once Chinese businesses entered the food market en masse, they applied their technology and control model throughout the world. The focus on climate change and food safety led the EU to create a kind of food police. This organization uses technology and the ongoing carbon footprint left by each citizen to trace everything we eat and monitor our level of food waste. The sum of all these elements results in our CFS (Citizen Food Score).”
I can see this happening in Real Life. Seriously, I can! :(
I thought by 2022 we’d be eating Soylent Green.

As for driving, say goodbye to the automobile and hello to the taxmobile. Fees to drive at random. Fees per mile. Fees per passenger. Fees per vehicle size. Don’t want to pay the fees? Sorry. Your taxmobile won’t start.
When I was in Guam the natives did not dig a hole under their outhouse, they used chickens. And got free eggs...
Hella lot smarter and cheaper than trying to print an egg using protein ink.
But, they dont have a laywer trying to get the government to require all FDA eggs to be printed, they just have eggs.
Sounds like a dystopian hell.
hold the pickle
Sounds like a nightmare. There are a lot of good things missing from this vision, including freedom and choice.
There are strong indications that we will all, including Lions and Tigers, be vegetarians, with some fish thrown in for variety.
And still no flying cars!?!?!?!?

This was written by another urban ignorati who doesn't actually know any farmers.
I know lots of farmers and don't know any without a college degree. These are Boomers and GenX farmers. Most are 3rd or 4th gen farmers.
Wow, sounds like a “Twilight Zone” episode. Or even more like a “Black Mirror” episode with tech run amok.
What are the chances of something like this coming to fruition?
I buy from lots of small farmers at our local farmers market. Would they all be forced out of business? Could they go underground?
Can’t figure out how they’re gonna make soy yogurt...
When milk from cows is banned, will breast feeding become illegal too?
So many questions....
