Agricultural philosophy/of Food (Discussion of Food Economics)

the Positive-Incentive Perspective of Hunger is really interesting, and i think, accurate.

without the pleasure centers of the brain driving incentive/reward, our psychology would permit us, and our biology would permit us, to eat only minimally to rid hunger pangs, primarily because (IMO; it seems...) our bodies do not have the innate ability to tell us what it's missing in it's essential nutritional make-up, ie, what it needs in terms of satiation.

all it tells us, "ouch, hurt" -- and when we eat something, we recognize that our pangs go away, and we move on, thinking "all done". see this poses a problem: because our bodies can rid itself of pangs from minimal intake of food, and of course, still be woefully undernourished, though, biologically, one can't tell that unless you visit a doctor (obviously in human history, a pretty new concept).

sure your body will initiate it's own signals of hunger, but they are simply perceived as pains the body goes through, and to avoid it, it's as easy as eating even the tiniest bit of food -- if we live like that, we don't live long.

the reward system allows us to psychologically WANT more than we need, to the extent that we will break out backs for more (so to speak -- but a nice metaphor), which is essentially better for survival. the fact that we psychologically want complimentary good food, due to our intense pleasure in eating foods, (without which there'd be no difference in which foods you eat; another important point; you'd have no preferences, so...) so, you end up wanting to mix and match -- which not only provides for awesome cuisine's within cultures, but also, a much better survival mechanism; stocking up.


i bet this thread is gonna be dead real soon! food economics? resources? agglomeration of economies? philosopy?

what hell hath i wrought....

do it. hopefully you can get some new fads to start kicking up dust.

like Raw foods. what's up with that?

i have an idea:

why not do this...to start: sustainable farm(s), it's really healthy for the ecology...you start a sustainable foods raw restaurant, or maybe someone has started up one for you...you promote raw foods in magazines, blogs online, books, whatever...and people who get more interested in raw food faddism can buy the raw foods at a premium, for quality -- and the farms can charge a premium as well...and market forces dictate afterwards.

:yesnod:

an Agrarian society is sort of like what a Automatic Society would look like sans automated computers and machines; in either/or you have a privileged class without a stable competitive market for trade, or an outlook that one take up the projected class hierarchy as needs meet and one distribute the means- the quote/unquote Agrarian Philosopher (eh? eh?).

but the latter is unlikely. though the former is doable -- though of course which is better? well, that's easy. which is the mo' better projected class heir-chary?

engineers, or farmers?
