”Singularity and dietary habits with new health-conscious”

There is a critical difference between two arguments on “Sustainability”: seeking to remain in a static state, or seeking dynamic changes.

Singularity, which brings a big technological (and philosophical) change to our society, is thought to arrive approximately 30 years from now.

Historically food production tightly connects to the local community. An old idiom like “Shin-do-fu-ni”(身土不二)represents an inseparable relationship of human body and soil in the premodern society. Now we have to reconsider our diet, health and knowledge for near future.
