Bollix. You are a half wit.
You have the same idea as the idiots that devised plastic chopping boards.
Like all living materials, wood has defence mechanisms, some of which
remain after death.

I suppose that trees have evolved in order to produce chopping boards for
the benefit of humans.

I, for one, support the right of all peoples to think whatever they like.
However silly.



The right to think what you like is different from the *ability* to
think what you like. I would like to think about something other than
Xmas but there is a conspiracy preventing me from doing that. I'm
beginning to sound like Ron Swanson

Possibly, but on the other hand, all those little sea creatures that
died and were buried in sediment to become the oil that was used to
make plastic had a few million years to evolve too.

I hear there's something new coming out where it's done on the shelf as
you pick it up.

Tesco Carlisle has just installed a rack full of handheld scanners so
you can scan as you shop. It's not new, been around for at least 15
years in various supermarkets but has never really caught on.

I havn't played with it yet, strikes me that juggling the goods and
scanner to find the barcode is too much hassle. There is a socket to
take the handle of the scanner on the trolly push bar but you still
have to find the bar code. You also have to weigh out loose stuff,
bag it and stick a bar coded label on. Now if the trollies had a
proper scanner, scales and big display like the checkouts/self
service ones it might be better.

Do you know if there's any provision for changing your mind and
putting something back on the shelf before getting to the checkout?

Nah, humans have evolved to deal with extremely long lived plant waste,
so they could pump it mine it and turn it back into carbon dioxide and
water so the plants could use it all over again.

I hugged a tree an it told me, so there.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

It's a fact that if trees didn't exist we'd have to invent wood.

I wonder if they all had souls...

I just Googled "Do animals have souls" to check the current religious
belief on the subject and the top-hit articles give a consistent and firm
"yes but no but maybe".

Trees evolved with a resistance to bacteria.
As do all living things. (Including meat/animal flesh)
Which remains after they have been cut up.
Heat reatment destroys this resistance.
Which is why cooked meat goes "off" quicker then uncooked.

And all the millions who cannot care a sod.

Shopping bags are so easily made of of scraps of material - just three
rectangles and two more to make handles, even a man could stop
pontificating for 10 mins and make one!
