#3 I’ll stick with real food, thanks

Good luck, TW. And don't read the ingredients label on about 90% of food these days

#4 Decades ago I read a very old medical article from Britain about an outbreak of vitamin B12 deficiency among vegetarian Hindu immigrants, who were well to do. In the UK they were eating the same kinds of foods they ate at home, so the investigation delved into the differences between things like rice in the UK and rice in India. Conclusion was that the feces of rodents was commonly mixed in with Indian rice, supplying a previously unknown Vit B12 source in a diet that otherwise was free of B12 altogether. UK rice was not so contaminated.
There are ingredients labels, and then there are the REAL ingredients.

#5 OK, so suppose we switch over to chemical food. Suppose we get nuked or the power gets knocked out. What then? I prefer society's food to be walking around and pulled out of the ground until these risks are solved.

#6 If we get nuked or the power goes out for a few years, I suspect the need to feed people will get drastically smaller than at present. Dead people don't eat.
