He sees lab-grown fruit as an additional source of food as the world’s population expands,
Lie. They've already told us we have over population. They want to reduce the world population 90%. This isn't about feeding us, we can already do that. This is about population control.
a sort of hedge for traditional agriculture in case of climate disaster
Which the plutocracy is already causing with its weather weapons.
growing only edible fruits in laboratory environments as a way to remove land from agricultural use
There's no use in that unless they're planning on using the land for something we don't know about yet.
Proponents of this technology, in general, see it as a way to avoid food wastage.
Lie. Have you seen the waste the oligarchs create? Their electricity consumption, jet fuel consumption... my God, these people have no shame.
the government seems to have zero interest in any solutions that involve a confident, responsible citizenry. All solutions must be profitable for favored industries.
Absolutely. I can't think of a single case where government actually benefits its population in any way. Here's an idea, defund government. That would go a long way towards reducing waste and benefiting humanity.
Bill gates has been buying up farming land at an alarming rate. How long until he decides that it cannot be used for growing food and all food must be grown in a lab.. The very labs (like this one) that he has a huge investment in.
That's already been decided. We just don't know when.
Its like idiotocracy in real life. "What, you eat food..That's grown in DIRT? EWW THATS DISGUSTING!"
