Come Quick and Bring the Village: Technology, Food, and Freedom
The dynamics of food production in America are changing. Technology has pervaded every aspect of our lives, including what we eat. Synthetic protein is the way of the future, we are told, and every American should accept this new reality if they want to be good people and save the planet. Hunters, fisherman, farmers, and gardeners are increasingly threatened by a tech-driven, corporate food system that is holding the public hostage. We are being told what to eat, when we can eat it, and how much we are going to pay for it. Working for your food and providing for yourself is a thing of the past. Those who continue to procure their own food will see their rights eliminated through regulation and consequent criminalization.
The Lakota and other Plains tribes were subjugated through the systematic extermination of their primary food source, the buffalo. Unable to win on the battlefield, Washington employed a much more effective method of oppression. Food became the most powerful weapon in the country, and the near extinction of the buffalo rendered the Lakota protein hostages in their own land. Once on reservations, they were forced to eat what they were told to eat, live how they were told to live, and believe what they were told to believe. The US Government discovered that the most effective way to control a population is to control their food source.
Patrick Finney draws on this historical precedent and lays bare what will happen in America if we accept a technocentric food supply as our only option in the marketplace. The Tech industry's ultimate goal is to establish comprehensive dependency amongst 21st century citizens, and the best possible avenue is to give them a work-free world with lab-grown protein delivered at the push of a button. By actively limiting the role tech plays in our lives, and practicing independent food procurement, we can retain our freedom, agency, and humanity in an increasingly digital world and life experience.
