Sci/Tech Packaging you can EAT: Food ‘skins’ that mimic nature could slash plastic waste

[Siretu]

we should make a TV segment with FireCat then exploit it further by making a comedy hit with Morgan freeman as the god

I'd watch it for sure.

On-topic, Firecat is bad at debating, we all knew that already. However (s)he represents a point of view which shouldn't be disregarded just because Firecat is arguing for it.

Isn't there a decent amount of people against genetically modified food? I mean, genetically modified food has been a controversial issue for a long time now.

Personally, I don't worry about the possible side-effect. It's a very small risk that I take. I mean, we use a lot of man-made stuff these days. If I were to stop consuming man-made stuff and go all natural, I would have a very hard time. Things like medicine are also made by humans, and we're quick to take that when we're sick. Still, I don't feel like it's a stupid point of view.

There are enough things which can possibly kill you out there. I have stopped worrying about that and started doing whatever i feel like. Makes life much easier.
You think that packaging is toxic to you? Whatever dude, you are going to be killed by anything else regardless.
Tsunamies, nuclear power plants blowing up, terrorists, a car accident, the next crazy illness, a zombie apocalypse, choking on semen.

lol @ choking on semen.

Why not make a movie segment with You, Varine and bunch Of Other instead? (Just don't add me on it) I bet you will laugh Moar No no?

They probably dont look too appealing.

And to answer your question, i regularily buy something i dont even want to eat. Shoes, pants, chairs, computer parts, russian prostitutes, all kinds of stuff.

Its not about whether you want to eat it but more about whether you could potentially eat it without getting ill from it.

Haha It isn't an answer and be happy it isn't wrapped with some toxic thingy stuff. yet But still you can be forced to buy such things, if there isn't another option.

Especially when you're poor, and you have limited options for survival.

EDIBLE and FOOD are not the same thing. EDIBLE means you won't die if you eat it. FOOD you're supposed to eat. This is just saying you COULD eat it, not that you're supposed to. Therefore, his/her point of view is redundant; you don't have to eat it anymore than you have to eat the wrapper your candy bar came in (which is probably also edible, albeit not advisable and not really biodegradable). Either way I fail to see the issue; no one is forcing you to eat the wrapper. And if it's an issue he can go buy all the food wrapped in plastic because apparently that's much better. It's not like plastic ever has toxic chemicals in it.

 

[FireCat]

Edit: NOT EDIBLE !

Anyway, I'm pretty sure many know the plastic are toxic in some way. hmm

"Plastic" isnt toxic on its own, just the majority of plastic in use. Because plastic is a vary broad term which describes a whole kind of product. There are biodegradeable and non-toxic plastics out there. But they are not in use too much.

That doesn't even come close.
This is the single largest debatte cluster fuck I've ever seen.

FireCat takes the position, intentionally or otherwise, of the idiot who knows shit but still wants to join in conversations.

Maybe he just likes talking and enjoys a healthy discussion.

Just don't choke and die; I still need you to teach me stuff in future! =(

 

[s3rius]

Don't worry camel, a bit of toxic plastic has never killed anyone yet.

And if you put some salt and ketchup on them it's actually quite nice.

....om nomnom om om...
