This really bothers me. We are already incredibly disconnected with what we're eating now. How much more disconnected will we get? I'd argue that a huge reason we're allowed to eat such nonsense garbage is because we have no idea what's going into it. If a person isn't even the one doing the most basic of tasks in relation to our food, what will we allow ourselves to eat?

    "Robots will replace jobs that are quite dull and competitive," said Mr Gardener.
This really pisses me off. This guy considers being in nature, using your hands, feeling Earth to be "dull." This guy has probably never felt the pleasure of walking on Earth barefoot. And it's these people who are making all the decisions for us? It's incredibly frustrating because this is just going to make it so that the mentality of preserving natural habits is continuing to go down the toilet.
