The assault on all that is good never ends.
Midst an essay on a new Eco-Wacky 'food system' (i.e., eat dandelions), we find this:
...So how does the metric work? WBCSD offers a cookie as an example — noting that the sweet treat loses points because of the associated “socio-economic cost” to the workers on the cacao plantation and the “health costs”—which of course are “borne by the British taxpayer,” and therefore counted as a cost to society.
What’s better than a cookie? The WBCSD suggests consuming “an oatmilk porridge” as an alternative. The porridge bowl scores much better on the TVoF scale, because of its lower environmental, health, and socio-economic costs. These categories take into account factors like “food waste” and “air pollution,” in order to determine the “true cost” of the food in question. According to the WBCSD, the cookie and porridge can easily be swapped, since they have “a similar consumer value.”...
First off, this may end the career of Cookie Monster. A thought to horrible to contemplate.
Secondly, it's clear that there are a lot of people out there with nothing actually productive to do.
Thirdly, "I'll give up cookies only when you take them from my cold, dead, hands!" --spoken by Cookie Monster, just last week.
Or maybe it was Charles Heston on another item. Same principle.
