⚠️In 1945, fluoride was introduced into public water supplies for the first time.
👺That same year, health authorities started promoting the idea that people should drink eight glasses of water a day…

Britain once had a chain of 146 restaurants where you sat at a white tablecloth and a waitress in a cap brought you cow's stomach.

It was called UCP, United Cattle Products, and if you grew up in Lancashire before 1970 you walked past one every Saturday. Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, Blackburn, Preston. The big ones had potted palms, a pianist and a queue down the stairs.

On the menu:
- Tripe and onions, stewed in milk
- Cold tripe with vinegar and pepper
- Cow heel
- Ox tail
- Elder, which was udder, sliced thin
- Steak pudding to follow

That was a cheap night out. Mill girls went on a Friday. Families went after the match. In 1906 Manchester alone had 260 tripe shops, and nobody thought of it as brave.

Tripe is nearly pure protein and collagen, it cost next to nothing, and it came from the part of the animal that was left when the rich had finished.

The restaurants shut one by one through the 1970s. The young had been taught that offal was what you ate when you were poor, and they could now afford a frozen burger.

What that generation is sold for its knees today is collagen powder, in a tub, at £30 a month.

Their grandmother got hers on a plate in Bolton, with onions, for the price of the bus fare, and had a pianist thrown in.

@ValerieAnne1970 Yip I fully believe statins killed my hubby .... His gp up'ed his dose from 20 gms to 40 grms and within 6 months he shot himself because he thought he was getting dementia.... also the gp did not do blood tests so I still don't understand why the dosage was up'ed too late now😔

People are now apparently returning to CDs and DVDs for “the security of knowing they have a physical copy of their fave films & music, free from algorithms, interruptions and vagaries of streaming.” I’ve heard this from my students for a while. Me too.

🚨 MCDONALD’S JUST UNLEASHED AI PRICING — AND CUSTOMERS ARE FURIOUS AFTER FINDING OUT WHAT THEY’RE DOING

McDonald’s just entered the AI pricing game... and once you understand how this technology works, you might not be happy.

One customer bought a Big Mac at a McDonald’s in New York City for $7.17.

Then he traveled just two miles up the road to another McDonald’s owned by the same franchisee.

$8.05.

That’s roughly 11% more for the same burger.

The AI-powered pricing technology analyzes massive amounts of restaurant data to recommend what it calls the “optimal price” for individual menu items at individual locations.... including estimates of customer willingness to pay.

The technology isn't just asking what a Big Mac should cost. It can help determine how much customers are willing to tolerate paying for it.

And Americans are already asking where the hell this ends.

Airlines have normalized dynamic pricing for years. Retailers are rolling out electronic shelf labels. Now increasingly sophisticated pricing technology is moving deeper into fast food.

If companies can use AI to figure out the absolute most you’re willing to pay before you finally walk away, what do you think is going to happen to prices everywhere?

Almost every plant staple on earth has to be detoxified before a human can eat it, and the instructions are older than writing.

An olive off the tree is inedible, so bitter it has to sit in lye or brine for weeks before the first one can be swallowed.

Acorns fed half the ancient world, and every one had to be ground and leached in running water for days to pull the tannins out.

Cassava is laced with cyanide and has to be grated, soaked, fermented and dried, and the village that skips a step in a hunger year gets paralysed children.

Raw red kidney beans carry a toxin, four or five of them are enough to lay you out for the day, and a slow cooker on low makes them more poisonous rather than less.

Maize has to be soaked in lime water, a trick the Aztecs worked out, or the niacin stays locked inside. Europe took the corn, left the lime behind, and paid for it in pellagra for 200 years.

Taro is packed with needle crystals of calcium oxalate and has to be cooked until they dissolve, or it shreds the inside of the mouth.

A bitter almond carries enough cyanide that America bans the sale of them raw.

Every one of those is a plant that said no, and a culture that spent generations working out how to overrule it.

Raw beef is a dish. Raw olives are a punishment.

The future of climate action runs through the fields.
Sustainable farming systems protect biodiversity, restore degraded land, secure food for a growing population, and draw down carbon,all at once.
Support farmers who farm with nature. The climate depends on it.

China gets it

Herbs, acupuncture, qi gong, chan buddhism, congee, duck, bone broth, organ meats, lard, tea, ginger, hot pot, fermented everything, the whole animal in the pot, tai chi in the park at 6am, grandparents raising the kids, a nap after lunch, soup with every meal, no ice in anything, a month of rest and broth after a baby, fresh market daily, squatting, mountains full of hermits, 4000 years of writing down what works.

Yeah, let’s go after households who have wood burners and turn a blind eye to the massive AI data centres that guzzle up loads of energy and water while destroying surrounding natural habitats. FFS. They are treating us like suckers.

Our cities need to go back to being sponge cities with green oases. Trees are and always will be the best way to do that. 💚☘️🌿🌱🌳🌲🍀💚

"Deforestation is not development. It is self-sabotage on a planetary scale."
Every forest cleared for short-term profit steals long-term security from future generations. True progress protects nature; it doesn't erase it.

🚨 THEY WARNED YOU NOT TO DRINK RAINWATER — THEN THIS WOMAN TESTED IT AGAINST HER TAP WATER

They tell you rainwater can be contaminated.
Don’t collect it.
It's not safe to drink.

Then this woman pulled out a meter and compared fresh rainwater with the water coming straight into her home.

The rainwater?
So clean it registers at 1 PPM.

Then she sticks the exact same meter under her tap:

554 PPM.

Watching rainwater barely move the meter while her tap sends the number soaring has people online losing it:

“So the water falling from the sky is the problem... but 554 coming out of the faucet is totally fine? 😂”

“I want to know exactly what the hell is coming through those pipes”

What do you think they're not telling us about the water being pumped into our homes?

[“Sudden And Unexpected” @toobaffled]

The Code didn’t change.

They just ignored it.

Federal workers: jab or job.

Nurses and aged-care staff: jab or walk.

The military: same order, same threat.

Offices over 100 people: OSHA tried to make it law until the Court stopped it.

Universities: no shot, no campus.

Planes, pubs, footy, shops .. show the pass or stay home.

Australia did it in neon.

QR code on the door. Double-vaxxed to sit down. Borders shut. Jobs gone. Families split at the checkpoint.

That’s not consent.

That’s a mandate with better branding.

What changed is they stopped asking.

And called it public health.
