One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.

When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.

A moment the world must never forget.

Do you think Nigel Farage needs to apologise for ignoring Henry Nowak family's wishes?🤔

Walk into the cave at Lascaux. The paintings are around seventeen thousand years old, made by people with no writing, no agriculture, and no opinions about cholesterol.

Look at what they painted.

Aurochs, the enormous wild cattle that stood taller at the shoulder than a man. Horses. Bison. Deer. Great heavy-bodied animals laid down in ochre and charcoal across the ceiling by people lying on their backs in the dark, holding a light up with one hand and painting with the other, because this mattered to them more than comfort did.

Now count the paintings of grain.

Count the lovingly rendered root vegetables. The heroic turnip. The sacred bowl of lentils.

You will be counting for some time.

The people of Lascaux painted what they revered, and what they revered was the animal. The animal was food, clothing, tools, sinew, fat, marrow, and the difference between surviving the winter and not. They did not paint a balanced plate. They painted the thing that kept them alive, over and over, for generations, in the most important room they had.

Seventeen thousand years later their descendants would be told that the animal was the problem, and that the road to health ran through the field of grain the cave painters never once thought worth drawing.

The oldest art we have is a menu.

It is not a subtle one.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@charlotteukcity @Keir_Starmer I don't think people realise that poverty actually exists! I have visited homes where the cupboards are bare, and the gas and electricity are switched off.

This is not Gaza.

This is Lebanon.

THIS IS GENOCIDE!

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

@beard_caro19553 @SamaHoole @sainsburys @Tesco @marksandspencer Is it so they can import white shelled eggs and thus save money by charging us the same?

"Livestock use 83% of the world's farmland and give back just 18% of our calories."

There it is. The killer stat, lifted off the infographic, courtesy of Poore and Nemecek's enormous 2018 study in Science: nearly 38,700 farms across 119 countries. Damning. Wildly inefficient. Somebody fetch the cow a P45.

One small question before sentencing. Where is that 83% of land?

It's grass. Worldwide, around two-thirds of all farmland isn't cropland at all; it's pasture and rough grazing. Fell, moor, steppe, marsh, scrub.

Marginal land, to use the term of art. Too steep, thin, wet, or cold to grow a single thing a human can chew.

In Britain, about 65% of farmland is good for grass and little else. You are welcome to plant lentils on a Cumbrian hillside. You will then watch them sit there, baffled, and die.

What that land does grow is cellulose, the most abundant biomass on Earth and a substance your gut regards as scaffolding. You cannot eat it. Nor can any pig, chicken, or vegan.

A ruminant can. That is the entire trick. She walks across the inedible two-thirds of the world's farmland and turns it into milk and meat.

So the cow isn't squatting on prime arable while the nation starves; she's working the land that grows precisely one crop, grass, which she eats, which is the whole point of her.

Calling that inefficient is like calling a fishing boat inefficient for its poor performance on the motorway.

Then there's the calorie sleight of hand, which is somehow the dafter half.

Yes, beef is a modest share of calories. So is a glass of cooking oil. You can get calories from a spoon of sugar. Calories are the easy part.

The hard part is everything else the steak is carrying. On DIAAS, the actual measure of protein quality, beef scores about 1.0 to 1.1, with milk and eggs a shade higher.

Wheat limps in around 0.45. Almonds manage 0.40. The FAO won't let a protein scoring under 0.75 make a quality claim at all, which quietly disqualifies most of the plant kingdom.

Then there's B12, of which plants contain essentially none, plus heme iron and zinc in a form your body can actually be bothered to absorb.

Ranking food by raw calories and declaring the steak a failure is like ranking a library by how well the books burn.

By that measure, petrol is the finest meal in Britain.

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."
