Y2Kyoto: Goodbye, Greenie Dirt Road

Climate Cult 58 Comments

When are they gonna come down?
Take me back off the land?
You should have stayed off my farm
It didn’t go according to plan
You know I can’t feed you forever
(I didn’t RoundUp for you)
Won’t be present when the market opens
No future growing organics for you
So goodbye greenie dirt road
Where the dogs of Kyoto now howl
You can’t plant that in your greenhouse
We’re back to the pesticides now
Back to the clones in the factory barns
Genetically modified grain
Oh they’ve finally decided your dinner plate lies
Beyond the greenie dirt road

    Simply let him expand with all his perceived greenhouse gases, and watch him fly around the globe.

  4. Kate: “Cheez Whiz® … Nature’s most perfect food”
    Maybe a close 2nd. When beer was unfettered from it’s label as being “just a breakfast beverage” it quickly moved into the number one position.

  5. Vitruvius, you’re one of the physiologically privileged if you can ingest a wide variety of foodstuffs without it causing metabolic disruptions. Enjoy it. You’re quite right in that everyone is different, and to find out how different people are, Biochemical Individuality by Roger Williams is an excellent exposition of human differences. This book should be required reading for any dietician as in my experience this profession is the least reliable source of nutritional information; one might as well consult Procrustus regarding ones next mattress purchase.
    Having been similarly blessed in being able to consume almost anything without ill effect (the only thing I recall rejecting in recent memory aside from clearly defective food were some deep-fried chicken feet at a dim-sum) it is easy to assume that everyone elses brain is wired the same way. There is a widespread assumption that eating is such a natural drive that people will automatically chose what is best for them. This has the same truth value as Rouseau’s concept of the noble savage.
    In fact, the fraction of people with disordered eating is astounding, but then I shouldn’t complain as it keeps me in business dealing with the sequelae of this disordered basic drive.
    One interesting experiment was done by Richard Wurtman at MIT when he was researching diet drugs. This involved locking people up on a hospital ward with two sets of food vending machines; one contained such American gastronomic masterpieces such as Twinkies, chocolate bars and various assorted high sugar items. The other machine contained items such as smoked salmon, beef jerky, brie, caviar, etc with the primary common factor being that the items were high in protein and fat. The subjects had to eat on the ward and were given keycards to access the machines which would allow them to eat whatever they desired and a computer monitored their food selections. I assumed that the results of the experiment would be a no brainer as MIT went bankrupt from attempting to keep up with the demand for free caviar and smoked salmon, but the vast majority of food consumed was of the sugary variety. If people were then given dexfenfluramine, they suddenly exhibited an increased preference for the high fat/protein items. Dexfenfluramine is no longer available as 10 women in the US who were taking it developed valvular heart disease. I guess the thousands of people who wouldn’t have developed diabetes didn’t enter in the FDA’s calculations when they removed this drug from the market. This post has made me hungry so excuse me while I find something to munch on.

  6. Thanks, Loki, I’ll look into Williams’s and Wurtman’s works tomorrow. However, for now, as it happens that an old friend I did a lot of growing up with in Edmonton a few decades ago, who is originally from Zanzibar and now lives in Milan, and who I have not seen for ten years, was in town tonight, we have been indulging in some serious celibrating and reminiscing for the last eight hours, including reasonably copious quantities of ethanol (and cheese, of course), so I’m in no shape to make intelligent comments at this point.
    Good night, everyone, I wish you all well.

  7. hey, retardo moonbat, just think what a difference it would have made if Canadian soldiers(Canadians have been to Iraq B4, overseeing the cease-fire between Iran and Iraq)would have been the lead troops going tinto Baghdad??We would have ensured the proper steps were taken to secure the strategic assets, and also ensured humanitarian needs were addressed….but , no, asswipe cretin had to play local politik….we could have made a HUGE difference
