These transformations are tied to the changing American diet. Since the early 1980s, America’s per-person cheese consumption has doubled, largely in the form of mozzarella-covered pizza pies. And last year, for the first time, the average American ate 100 pounds of chicken, twice the amount 40 years ago.

I'm not advocating for infinite growth. I'm opposing eugenics

And how do you suppose we don’t have infinite growth if people are encouraged to have as many kids as possible?

I'm not suggesting we encourage anyone to have kids.

Sure you are. You are telling people that we can continue growing for eternity with no damage to the environment.

Or do you agree each additional child adds further stress to the environment?

But you admit my premise is sound.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I haven't admitted any such thing.
