I'm tired of everything needing to be a product that needs to be sold for profit. I would much prefer we put our resources together to produce food for people instead of trying to make a profit.

This should be so obvious if the capitalistic promise of innovation in the food industry sounds basically like “yay, we reduced the weight per candy bars resulting in more packaging and have found an even cheaper way to source the palm fat”

No one is stopping you. Go ahead and get started farming to feed the planet

edit: yeah, I didn't think so.
