Earlier today, I added the Space tag to a couple of posts about food:
Those posts link out to other sites of mine and there are a lot of posts by me across multiple sites of mine that repeat the theme of using cold prep ramen as the basis for addressing a variety of issues, including:
In other posts marked with the Space tag, I hypothesize we can build upon existing knowledge from human cultures that exist in some of the harshest environments here on Earth, such as deserts and Alaska. I marked the two food-related posts with the Space tag today because I think that process of prepping for space can and should begin by solving our problems here on Earth.
When we have genuinely spread civilized environments to the harshest inhabited corners of planet Earth, THEN we will be ready to start creating pockets of civilization on the Moon, one or more of the larger asteroids in The Asteroid Belt and from there leapfrog to Mars
Earth is our lab. There are plenty of challenges to solve here which can be used as stepping stones to pave the way for space exploration and development.
And it occurred to me today that if dried veggies plus ramen can work here on Earth in places like prison or Alaska or Haiti, that combo ALSO can be a basis for an adequate diet on the Moon.
- Normalizing eating "survival foods" as a regular part of the diet so there is no clear, bright line between the foods you have on hand for your daily needs and the foods you keep "in case of dire emergency."
- Addressing the needs of populations in distressed settings, such as homeless Americans, people in prison, people getting aid in places like Aleppo or Gaza and people living in "fringe" places like rural Alaska.
- Feeding people better as a first line of defense against a variety of issues to respect the reality that in order to have a civilized society, you need as many people as possible to have A sound mind in a sound body.
