Announcing the Association for Feasting Ahead of Time, a novel GCR philosophy and solution

Summary

Global Catastrophic Food Failures (GCFF) are a thing.
Today on April 1st, we are proudly announcing the Association for Feasting Ahead of Time ((ASSFAT)).
We have identified the important cause area: High Impact Padding Granting Old age in Long Disasters ((HIP-GOLD)).
More than an organization, ASSFAT is a philosophy. A lifestyle.

We draw on generational wisdom and the wisdom of human evolution to address some of the worst eventualities in humanity’s near future.

"Always eat up." - Your grandma (probably)

Having fed everyone everywhere all at once by themselves, already.

Contrary to popular opinion, we believe the cake is not a lie. We can have it, (increase it) and eat it too.

From 1965-1966, Scotsman Angus Barbieri lost 276 pounds by continuously fasting for more than a year. During the fast, he consumed only zero-calorie beverages, vitamins, and nutritional yeast. This was possible due to his starting weight of 456 pounds, as well as the supervision of medical experts.
We believe this inspirational story is more than a fluke — it’s scalable. As you can see by this graph, humans will be at the greatest risk of starvation early in a multiple breadbasket failure, until novel food solutions have time to ramp up.

ASSFAT’s research team, while armchair-philosophizing on buttock-cushions, discovered several other armchair-philosophers and their thoughts on civilization, catastrophes, and their linkage to food.
In early 1900 Alfred Henry Lewis stated “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy”.
“Every society is three meals away from chaos” was brought forth only a few years later by Vladimir Lenin.
More dawning was the analysis by Neil Gaiman: “It has been said that civilization is twenty-four hours and two meals from barbarism.”
These 3 historic findings paint a grim picture:
But combined with ASSFAT’s insights we could be hundreds, if not a thousand meals away from societal collapse!

We are grateful for ALLFED’s work in identifying the risks from (global) catastrophes on the food system. Though we think our solutions are better, because HIP-GOLD is a decentralized methodology and will provide a buffer (sic) should post-catastrophic collaboration fail.

We are glad to observe that some areas in the world are already following ASSFAT’s philosophy and lifestyle. However, some regions are neglected and could therefore be a good fit for increased activity. About 1 in 9 people globally are severely neglected. Our members support infrastructure investments and general improvements to the food-to-belly-pipeline in the highlighted areas below:

Research has shown that as humans consume more calories than they expend, this can complicate health outcomes in the short term. However, we fully expect that breakthroughs in the medical field made possible by AGI will unlock previously unimagined solutions, making these problems a thing of the past.
As the pharmaceutical industry has famously profited from such trends in the past, we are eager to see these proceeds productively forked over and reinvested in anti-pandemic science and novel drug discovery.
Critics of our solutions may charge that these efforts will increase waste. However, we think that instead they can increase waists.
