Trust me, unless you're in the top percentile of the top percentile, you should spend more time thinking. I read big, mind-expanding books almost bi-yearly, and yet my thinking time is still infinitely valuable and helps me expand my mind a lot.
This despite the fact that I'm in the top percentile, and I'm there almost entirely because I'm good at one thing: finding meaning in raw data, interpreting the ramifications of what I know and connecting the dots between all the different things I already know.

Also, thanks a ton for the KFC food processing demonstration. I'd find it hard to believe there's a more enlightening gif out there.

Source of the "research" please.

No, just no, stop propagating this myth please. Unless we're hit by some apocalyptic change in food production in the future, we have more than enough capacity (technology, manpower, arable land, etc.) to feed a few times the current world population easily. Most estimates for world population growth puts us at 8-11 billion by 2044; we can even sustain that kind of population with current food production methods.

Hunger and famine only continue to affect poorer countries because of corruption, war, logistic dilemmas, etc. The average starving African is lucky to receive a small fraction of his or her intended aid.

This made me do more research on the subject of how KFC handle their chicken, and it might mostly be in the states but it's actually almost as bad as this. Thanks for silently enlightening me. Only eating biological chicken/eggs ever again.

By the way, the chick culling that was linked: Apparently another common form is Asphyxiation. I want to puke and then die now. Jesus christ... x.x
