Compulsory Voting

[FlatAssembler]

Good god, if you' want to argue the merits of eating animal feed, knock yourself out.  You can have it all.  

Two more instances of misattributed causation.  Though it is a good use of land from an extraction perspective.  Cattle are a value add (or the lease income for the new "pasture" is - don't even get me started on how deeply interwoven ag and ag speculation is with the global laundromat).  Right behind that, are soy and palm oil.  Behind them, biomass production.  At least with respect to deforestation.  We make all sorts of compromises.  No such thing as a free lunch.  OFC, I personally wouldn't advocate for any extraction model.  Kind of defeats the point of regenerative agriculture, eh?
It would seem to contradict basic biology because you don't have a working grasp of basic biology.  That's how..exactly.  Sufficeth to say, trace amounts of antibiotics in billions of tons of product would do very little to help you with your infection - but it could harbor a great deal of antibiotic resistance.  Google it, let wonder lead you to knowledge.  This is why those strong regulations, which to you seemed not to exist, do exist.

I want to make sure I put a fine underline on something.  It doesn't actually matter whether or not you know a goddamned thing about ag, with respect to whether or not compelling you to vote for something you think is abhorrent might be a bad idea.  You could have the most ignorant and uninformed position on the face of this planet, and you're probably at least in the running for that - and it could be just as bad and for all the same reasons to compel you to support something as it would be for a person with even the slightest amount of interest and information on a subject.

Your patience in dealing with this ignorant clown is praiseworthy 

And what have you accomplished in life so that you have a right to call me an "ignorant clown"? I have accomplished quite a few things I am proud of. Like the 5'500-lines-of-code compiler for my programming language or my 3'500-lines-of-code PicoBlaze simulator. Or my papers in social sciences, like my most recent paper combining informatics and linguistics, applying informatics to the names of places in Croatia, which may be the only paper in the field that is using the scientific method.
