1) "“How can you think yourself a great man, when the first accident that comes along can wipe you out completely.”

or as @FeeriLee would say "How can you consider yourself the great S**t if you put all of your eggs in one basket."

2) Optimization is the favorite word for many people, governments or corporation, looking that input and output are "well" used, while everything extra is a "waste" or what is better called redundancy..which end up beign way better for the unkonws (as @paulportesi would stated).

3) This happens everywhere, beign even pathological, specially when not all risk are created equal, some will look at easy to spot risks, but the most terrible and common in our modern times, are the silent ones.

4) Take the food industry, clothed the grimm reality of foods created from one or two ingredients with a delusion of diversity in every aisle around the world.

5) In the #OmnivoresDilemma @michaelpollan presents a grimm scenario, He shows how most of the process-foods we eat today comes from the two crops (corn and soy), which shows a homogenization of the way we prepared different kinds of foods.

6) Looking at a meal through a mass spectrometer (in order to know where it comes from) the meal came with the following reading “soda (100 percent corn), milk shake (78 percent), salad dressing (65 percent) chicken nugget (56 percent), and French fries (23 percent)”.

7) "Foods" that are common for most of the population around the western hemisphere, which give us a sense of the magnitud of the problem...

8) A Silent Fragilization of our Bodies because of economic reasoning of monoculture...specially important in this "Covid-times"...Whats to come? A turn back to redundancy of ingredients, more optionality of culinary experiences.
