System Update with Glenn Greenwald

Awesome analysis!

While I agree that an outright ban is not the answer, I don’t believe that I trust the FDA has enough information to know if synthetic meat is safe or not harmful. I also don’t trust the food companies who will be culturing and manipulating will put safety over profits. The processed food industry doesn’t have a good track record and have exhibited little interest in safety and a myopic interest in profits. I would prefer very strict and prominent labeling laws so consumers can easily identify synthetic food products which would include “Smeat” and any genetically modified or engineered food products. Personally, I don’t purchase much processed food products and favor raw ingredients. For meats, I spend time reading the labels and am more apt to trust organic group certifications more than the FDA or USDA. Even then it takes a lot of time and is more effort that most people will be willing to sacrifice. I would personally recommend that synthetic meat not to legally be sold as meat but rather as “Smeat” and require the font size used be prominent and not in tiny fine print where the food company is attempting to hide the fact from the consumer. Similarly, the menu at a restaurant should be required to include “Smeat” or for GMO’s that it contains genetically modified or engineered food products. While over time much of these products may prove to be not harmful, we will not know for several decades if there are any unintended side effects and consequences. I even concede that “Smeat” may be vital for lengthy interstellar travel such as a trip to Mars.

Glenn Greenwald is an actual journalist. Someone who’s broke stories with global impact, exposing and holding accountable centers of power. He’s faced genuine political persecution because of this but sticks to his guns. He sticks to classic leftist politics like anti imperialism, freedom of speech as a first principle and intelligent debate to reveal truth behind media narratives. He often references Noam Chomsky to underscore this point more. While the above is true, he still does not squarely fit into the idealogical boundaries that divide today’s dominant party system. Strong civil libertarianism, and even when i disagree i can’t deny the tenability of his arguments and positions. Great journalist, great podcast, please subscribe
