New research shows that rainwater in most locations on Earth contains levels of chemicals that "greatly exceed" safety levels.
There are ancient metallurgical sites from thousands of years ago that produced copper and bronze. They're still heavily contaminated with arsenic from the smelting and refining processes. What horrors are we leaving for those to come?
great. just fucking great. capital accumulation is going to kill us all, as slowly as possible
To be fair, there are plenty of quicker methods happening as well. :this-is-fine:
The combination of resources depletion, a rabid crumbling empire with the worst extravagant death machine in history, and nuclear weapons may make it fast :posadas:
Because I honestly bet that the soy feminization memes were started as a corporate action by meat lobbyists to create a culture war against meat alternatives (I'm being truly serious with this take).
Jesus and then even before that you had the freaking pork board of the midwest putting funding into making sure bacon was on fucking everything in the 1970s. It's like how cereal companies warped the american breakfast that my own parents get weird feelings when I advocate eating breakfasts from other cultures that contain vegetables in them (like fucking shakshuka or breakfast lentils). The American diet is a fucking Walmart aisle...

The main thing I took away from living in Japan was that their breakfasts are more gooder. Fermented soybeans, miso soup, vegetable porridge, eggs, fruit, maybe a bit of grilled fish, served with jasmine tea. It's as healthy as it is filling. When I catch flak for cooking that in the US, I just point out the difference between elderly Americans I've worked with and elderly Ryukyu I've seen. There's like a ten or twenty year difference in their capabilities at the same age.
I love eating vegetables at breakfast, but yeah, I even feel weird cooking veggies due to propaganda.
Maybe potatoes are ok, but definitely nothing a color other than beige
They do purple sweet potatoes with stewed/pickled greens and seaweed. :chefs-kiss:
I fucking love Natto, it's also likely a reason that CVD is low in Japan since it is a thrombolytic. I've also fallen in love with indian curries as a means to break into good veggie dishes.

Meat industry amid reports that fast food protein content is 20-45% soy in origin
Grew up down river of an industrial plant dumping some type of this shit straight into a river for like 3 decades. Whole lower watershed, few hundred thousand people, drink bottled water now indefinitely. Cancer rates are noticably higher and health outcomes are lower than the region generally.
A calculated decision was made on how many people the owners were willing to knowingly poison for profit. And I don't know if they ever knew how many that number would really be, but I know that their answer would never change.
I grew up in an identical place. Someone I knew from the fourth grade got cancer and moved. Someone else I knew from the second grade lost their sister because of cancer as she entered highschool. I don't have cancer to my knowledge but I've never felt good physically here, just practically permanently tired to some degree.
Don't worry, those breweries and distilleries draw their water from the same polluted sources :jokerfied:
white americans:
broke: a biosphere full of life and moist rich dark soil and lush greenery and birds
bespoke: not having to scrape a paper-thin layer of crumbly egg bits off of your panThe majority of people actively wanted this.
Most people would rather have treats, or feel macho than have clean drinking water.
The
majorityminority that is rich peopleactively wanted this.forced this on the entire world at gunpoint.:lenin-shining:
I don't want to dox myself so I'm not going to go into specifics, but these mfs are so hard to get rid of, borderline impossible to remove effectively at scale.
