Future of Diving in 25 years or less

One book I read (maybe it was The Hot Zone) referred to humans as “a large quantity of meat” and pointed out that ecosystems have a way of evolving predators to take advantage of abundant food sources.

I don't see any evidence of that with humans but it seems to hold true with the rest of the world. If it rains more, there are more plants. If there are more plants, there are more rabbits. If there are more rabbits, there are more coyotes.... The only think I can think of to take care of the human problem might be a virus or other such predator. I guess there will be more worms to eat the leftover meat.

Another good read is Jared Diamonds Collapse - I must stop advocating cannibalism apparently its..unsavoury

I dunno, you get to have your choices of cuisine--Mexican food, Chinese food, French, Italian...

Hard to know what it might be but in biological time we are a very young species. It doesn’t bode well for use that all the other hominids on our “bush” (not really a tree) are already extinct. So far our worst predator is us of course, though most of the time we don’t eat our own.

Heh..thats always been my one big question - would different nationalities taste different? I mean surely an Indian person would have accumulated a lot of different spices in their tissues over their lifetime..would mexicans be spicier?..Italians and French heavy on the garlic?..Australians - marinaded in beer??

When push comes to shove who knows what humans will do?
Look at the Donner party.
Just sayin’

Trying to find one that is “organic” in this day and age might be a bit of a challenge.

This reminds me of a science fiction short story I read many years ago. I took place on a distant, advanced (by our standards) planet inhabited by, let's just say humans. They ate mostly artificially manufactured foods. There were many flavors developed over time, but one was the most popular. Someone decided to determine what it most closely resembled and it turned out to be humans. In the movie Soylant Green the most popular food also turned out to be actual humans.

You might want to eat more. Hunger can make people think of strange things....
