“Food waste cannot exist in a Permacapital Economy - all food produced is consumed wither by some biological organism like a person or a pet, or by another like a microbe or a fungus. For each organism or economic-participant, the bi-product produced after consumption is food to be consumed by another organism or economic participant. In such a system, waste does not exist; only resources. And in such a system, consumption is not evil; it is virtuous.”

I'm aware of those more deserving, those with prior and urgent claims to food." Skeleton says, "My safety is in slightness, my pride is denial. My victory is no gluttony, no guilt.”
