Eight people sealed themselves in a glass dome to prove humanity could feed itself on plants, and spent two years starving in front of the world's press.
Biosphere 2 cost a hundred and fifty million dollars. Three acres of Arizona desert under sealed glass, eight crew, door shut on 26 September 1991, nothing in or out for two years. The farm inside was worked intensively and by any agronomic measure it was superb, out-producing the most efficient smallholder farming on earth by a wide margin.
It produced 83 per cent of what they needed.
Which left Roy Walford, the crew doctor, in a sealed box with seven hungry colleagues and his own life's work. Walford was a UCLA pathologist who had spent thirty years arguing that severe calorie restriction extends lifespan. He had doubled it in mice. And here was reality handing him his own hypothesis with the door welded shut.
So he called it a health programme.
The menu became vegetables, half a glass of goat's milk a day, and meat or fish about once a week. The men lost close to a fifth of their body weight, the women about a tenth. And the markers Walford cared about behaved impeccably: blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides all down at least twenty per cent, into ranges any doctor would frame. He published it in PNAS in 1992.
The bloodwork was magnificent. The people were falling apart.
Jane Poynter wrote the book afterwards. Fatigue, depression, mental fog, and a preoccupation with food that ate the entire interior life of the crew. They stole from each other. They split into two factions that stopped speaking. The ecological research the building had been constructed for was largely abandoned by people who no longer had the headroom for anything past the next meal. The ants and cockroaches, by contrast, were thriving.
The air was leaving too. Oxygen started at 20.9 per cent and kept dropping and nobody knew where it was going. Columbia eventually worked it out: the concrete was quietly eating it. So oxygen had to be pumped in from outside, which is an interesting result for a sealed world.
Walford's verdict on the mutiny is the whole thing in one sentence. He said afterwards that any other physician aboard would have panicked and declared they were starving, but that he knew they were on a programme of health enhancement.
He knew. Seven other people, visibly wasting, were simply mistaken.
He came out in 1993, developed ALS, blamed the conditions inside, and died in 2004 aged 79 after years on 1,600 calories a day in pursuit of a longer life. The mice got double. He did not make it to average for an American professor.
Every argument you have heard this decade was already in that building. Grow it locally. Take the animals out. Eat less. Watch the numbers improve.
Eight of the most motivated humans alive, handed three acres of the best-managed farmland on the planet and no meat, could not feed themselves.
The press reported the fighting as a personality clash.
Uma das maiores covardias que eu já vi um jogador fazer numa Copa do Mundo. Ainda mais sendo uma final...

Average man loses 50μg of folate/day.
To ensure plentiful stores this was doubled = 100μg.
Because fruit and veg folate is poorly absorbed it was doubled again to 200μg.
Then Industry got a seat at the table.
Then they doubled it again to 400μg/ day.

‼️ Admin Post: Danny is currently being held by Dover Police and is now facing serious consequences for his tireless work exposing the truth at the Port of Dover.
A few months ago, Danny was arrested at the Port of Dover while bravely bringing important information to the public. Yesterday he had problems with his car and was unable to attend the police station as required. He has since been charged with two offences relating to his relentless exposés, and due to failing to attend, additional charges may now follow.
Danny has worked tirelessly — often at great personal risk — to uncover and bring the truth to the public. He even spent 14 hours on a boat to capture and deliver never-before-seen footage that exposed the reality of the situation in the English Channel. From filming inside migrant processing facilities and exposing the scale of small boat arrivals, to investigating boat sites and revealing future projected numbers, his dedication has been unwavering.
For all of this, he is now paying a heavy price. His lawyer has indicated there is a possibility he may be remanded in custody. We will provide updates as they come through.
Please keep Danny in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult and worrying time. 🙏🇬🇧

What on earth is going on here?
Parliament voted to abolish blasphemy laws back in 2008 — 18 years ago.
The Government’s decision to introduce a non-statutory official definition of Islamophobia — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — has effectively revived blasphemy laws for Islam alone.
In a free society, no religion should be afforded greater protection than another. We are losing our fundamental right to legitimately criticise and debate a single religion in this country.
It is not a criminal offence in this country to criticise or mock the Prophet Muhammad.

I’m a police Sgt & a custody officer from the ‘80’s … this is Sound advice ….in every encounter just say I’m not talking to you without a solicitor present….don’t even say ‘no comment’ ….don’t nod or shake your head to any questions …don’t smile …stay calm & polite. 👍
I would close the borders, deport anyone who did not have a British ancestor prior to 1950, behead the Pakistani Moslem rape gangs, arrest those responsible for the coverup including politicians and media, ban abortion, remove the religious exemption for Halal and Kosher, repeal the Equalities Act, restore hereditary peers, revoke universal suffrage, put Christianity back into schools, replace the king with a Christian, patrol gunboats around the English Channel, remove income tax and inheritance tax, privatise the NHS, give tax breaks and other incentives to married couples and large families, build more houses, remove DEI policies from public institutions, put the Union Flag and a crucifix on every public building, and probably call it a day.
When doctors and scientists recently analysed the efficacy ( effectiveness ) of the Flu shot over the last 20 years they were shocked. Many of you will be shocked as well, please watch, share and comment.
Big Pharma have done it again. More Flu shots = More Flu cases.

Many of these assaults took place in what should have been - and once was - a female-only space.
The petition to stop folic acid entering our flour is on 7,337 votes after three days.
Please keep sharing with friends and family.
If we kept up the current rate we could reach the target by the end of July.

I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.
Rotherham. A small town in northern England.
For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.
Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.
The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.
For sixteen years, not one of them moved.
Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.
That is the moment something in you breaks.
And here is the part that makes it worse.
The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.
This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.
Then Elon Musk bought X.
The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.
But it did.
And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.
Towns the country had been told to forget.
Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.
X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.
That is worth saying out loud.
A magnificent letter from a magnificent woman.
“ Dear Mr Wright,
It must be terribly difficult having to share your name with the legendary and enormously popular disk jockey. My late husband, Sir Michael Caine, was not the actor, Nonetheless, Hollywood starlets might call saying they were in town.
Awkward all around.
I am a law maker. You would not expect me to pontificate on structural instability, hazardous materials or airborne toxins. I know nothing about accelerants, burn patterns or smoke staining. If I told the people, you represent how to deal with a fire I ought, rightly, be ignored.
What the blazes, then, do you think you are doing when trying to meddle with the adoption of the EHRC's latest Service Code? If no one else has told you already I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you appear to have no idea what you are talking about. Did you think to run your nonsense past a lawyer? (If you did,hesitate to pay.)
The provision of changing and lavatorial facilities by an employer is governed by the Workplace (Health and Safety) Regulations 1992. Employers are required to provide separate facilities for males and females. There is no option to provide only mixed facilities. Mixed facilities are optional but sex-separated facilities are compulsory. That has been the case for 34 years. It has not changed because of a Supreme Court Judgment. You might not have understood it before, but you do not need EHRC Guidance to understand it now. Fire fighters must be provided with biologically separated sanitary and changing facilities. That will remain the case even if the EHRC Guidance is frustrated.
No "hard-won" rights have been rolled back. The rights you imagine (or, more likely, have been briefed about) have never existed. Rights do not accrue and acquire validity thanks to magical thinking or bad advice.
That which you frame as a call for employers and service providers to "go beyond minimum requirements" is, in fact, a demand that they break the law. I assume you had no idea that was the case. I can imagine you being keen to change laws with which you disagree, democratically, but I should be surprised were you to knowingly call for outright anarchy.
The laws governing access to legitimately sex-separated facilities have not changed for employers since 1992, and for service providers since 2010. If you were ignorant of them before you have no excuse now. If you do not like them you may seek, democratically, to change them.
Until then, I strongly encourage you to urge members to obey the law and stop posturing as though the law is something you might like it to be but is not.
Yours sincerely
Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne
