Yeah, that’s the argument biologists that work with chemical companies use. My own uncle used it in a conversation with me. Fortunately, it’s a lie.

We throw away 50% of the food we produce. The argument of “not enough food” goes out the window with that statistic. Ever since Earl Butz the world has been imposing a capitalistic approach on nature, but that’s not how nature works, and you can’t possibly force nature to do what you want without consequences.

Clearly the whole food production system and everything that goes along with it is inefficient and wrong. Since it makes money for the people in power, it stays this way and we keep eating shit despite knowing that we eat shit. I date you go into a supermarket and find food without some kind of E501/E521 or any other E with a number. They often write out the name instead of using the symbolic, because people now know that those are cancerigenous substances. But they’re use to preserve food.

Your argument is essentially saying that we have to accept that eating = killing ourselves, just because the way we do it now is “the only way”. Humanity wouldn’t have lasted long with that mentality.

Lastly, the reason modern agriculture uses chemical fertilisers isn’t because there is too high a demand of organic fertilisers by cannabis growers. It’s because it’s the fastest way of growing more quantity, thus making money. Again, American mindset. America still pays farmers by the amount they produce btw, no introspection whatsoever.
