Is lembas bread plot armor? It essentially eliminated hunger and the logistics of food as a factor in the fellowship's journey.
>>219204587why didnt the Thanos just make some lembas bread and feed the whole universe?
>>219204587>t. the same asshole who asks why they didn't just take the eagles to Mordor
>>219204587They were always going to have a problem with water though. The movies show it a bit but in the book there's a huge stretch of like 10-15 pages of just Frodo and Sam crawling around desperately trying to find even a few drops of water in the wasteland.
>>219204633We fed Africa and look how that turned out.
>>219204587Bread is nothing but pure carbs. They still need to factor in protein and essential fats, not to mention micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Don't forget fiber as well.
>>219204587Maybe you shouldn’t worry about food so much, tubby.
>>219204694It’s magic elvish bread, they have it covered.
does lembas come in gluten free and vegan options?
>>219204686It's not like killing half of Africa would do much either when their fertility rate is over 4.
>>219204587the bread isn't magic, the elves are.
>>219204778If the elves are so magical, why are they always at the brink of extinction?
>>219204802because magic is slowly disappearing from their world, and the elves are tied to it, so they have to fuck off to the magical place where their gods live.
>>219204802They weren’t going extinct, they were just leaving Middle-earth.
>>219204694The obvious magical nature of lembas bread (an analog of manna from the OT) aside, this isn't even true of most breads made before modernity. It was rich in protein and nutrients. Medieval peasants basically lived on it.
>>219204587I'm watching an adventure movie, no a food logistics documentary.
>>219204802why are white people going extinct
>>219204587>IS THAT FANTASTICAL MAGICAL ITEMS IN MY FANTASY MAGIC STORY?! THIS IS BULLSHIT! I KNOW I COMPLAINED THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MAGIC ITEMS, BUT THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED!!
why didn't they disguise regular food as lembas food and delivery it to Sauron causing him to over eat and bursting his stomach?
>>219204686actually pretty great in some countries. China is now using African farmland and work force.Problem is we fed china, we shouldn't have done that.
>>219204756And that was fine when they were starving and dying of malaria at 2.
