#foodfraud is the overlooked consequence of inflation. Companies looking to save a quick buck might turn to low cost suppliers that push the boundaries of food fillers. Economically Motivated Adulteration #ema is about to blow up. Stay vigilant.
@ECOWARRIORSS This is a fun project, honestly. The problem is that it suffers from the Magic Bullet Effect: this is just meant to be a band aid, the bleeding still needs to be stopped. But the CO2 producers would rather remediate than prevent emissions.
What's wrong about this call to action
1. The problem is in meat processing, not consumption. Pre-industrial communities ate meat without environmental dangers
2. It assumes the industry will die if the markets shifts. The CO2 emissions will come from veg farms
And that's why CO2 emissions drop like a stone if you follow a vegetarian or a vegan diet.
We need a massive shift towards more plant-based diets, especially in rich meat-eating countries.

To put it in SAT terms
@Santos4Congress is to @PeteButtigieg what @RealCandaceO is to @MichelleObama (now @KamalaHarris )
They lampoon the rising minority voices that advocate for justice in the US.
Right. Crap. They fucked the @usedgov so no one knows analogies anymore
This is the textbook definition of #colonialism take your knowledge and resources, evangelize their methods as advanced and progressive.
Once the next generations have been indoctrinated, they sell them back to you.
The difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation is WHO benefits financially.
The #plantbased and #insectbased#alternativeprotein movement are made for rich white people by rich white people.
NOW that the industrialization of meat has caused irreparable damage to our #environment, they are repackaging and marketing these traditions as solutions to their #environmental damage
Instead of working to solve the problem of the meat industry, they market a solution
I will NEVER get over the #gentrification of food sources.
Going to an Asian Market and eating a deep-fried scorpion? "OMG. Third world countries are so cray!"
Eating cricket-meal based anything? "It's giving environment. It's giving saving water. Hashtag Green Planet"
Trees can only provide the intended benefits when they grow to maturity, simply planting isn't enough. With support from @GlobalLF we are using indigenous knowledge in tree growing and fire tracing to ensure the survival of the 7200 trees planted in 2022 @YIL_Initiative
First they mock LDCs for consuming insects, then they decide that farming insects may be a solution. Why do we keep looking for answers from the people who made the problem?
#eyerolling#DecolonizeSustainability
A new #SciencePerspective discusses the potential of farming insects to improve global food security as a source of human food. https://t.co/gBpywthC17
HOLY MOLY: Adam Schiff has just introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and stop unrestricted dark money in our elections! This would truly return power to the American people.
This is exciting! However, I always have the same questions when it comes to new tech in food:
1. What does the lifecycle look like?
2. What is the energy expenditure?
3. What do the waste streams look like?
4. Access: Who is this for?
It's a stalling tactic. Every conversation, meeting, report, analysis, and strategy session is just another minute they are allowed to destroy our home.
