Also, in my own life I can say that chemicals in food have had a direct and negative effect on my health in a way that atmospheric CO2 has not. I’ll cover this in an upcoming post on milk vs. alt milks.
I am constantly stunned by how Americans can feel persecuted and denied when . . . they have a roof over their heads, potable water, indoor toilets, an abundance of food, transportation and at least some access to health care. We are a rich but unhappy nation. Living slimmer lives may not only be what our world can support, it may also help us remember what makes us happy -- often social connections, not a vast refrigerator.
Really interesting, Zach. Thank you for sharing.

Well said, Ellen! There's also an argument that less luxury will make us stronger. The old adage "good times produce weak men" is apt.
Well said, Ellen.
