Ah. I thought that you were implying that the post was off-topic. Never mind.
And I think that information about a possible neurological basis for the dysfunction that allows for mass insanity to take hold in the first place is relevant, no?
THIS is the actual definition of Veganism, directly from the people who coined the term:
That definition is from 1988, so it's questionable whether it came "directly from the people who coined the term" in 1944. Here is a re-publication of the 1951 Leslie Cross definition:
“The object of the Society shall be to end the exploitation of animals by man” and “The word veganism shall mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.”
Allegedly someone read The World Peace Diet (by Will Tuttle) to Donald Watson on his deathbed, and Donald Watson said that the book encompassed everything that he intended when he founded the Vegan Society. Make of that what you will.
Probably 'Silk', AKA Latundan, from the Philippines.
While it's important to recognise the gravity of the problem, it's also important to recognise concrete steps that can be taken to address it, and this article doesn't really go into that. For example, to stop the Amazon deforestation and burning, it is necessary to both stop the "global appetite for burgers" and shift to reforestation and sustainable decentralised food production. This is one example of people trying to do that, but such projects need to scale up massively in order to have an impact on such large problems as climate change.
Not all, but yes, some components are inevitably lost in the drying process. There's a reason that dried fruit is often treated with sulphur dioxide as a preservative. Of course, preserving the colour doesn't prevent the loss of large amounts of essential nutrients like vitamin C. Fresh is best whenever possible.
I haven't run the numbers, but your assessment seems about right. The lower the humidity, the greater the potential for evaporative cooling, and the higher the max tolerable temperature. No reason to avoid moving to the tropics anytime soon.
"Non-native grass removal" indeed. Life would be so much easier if people didn't plant grass in the first place!
“I tried planting, but the goats ate everything,” says Maria Kanyere, a widow raising three children. “I don’t have time to fence them off.”
Domesticated animals are the bane of reforestation projects worldwide. Simply planting trees is not enough; there needs to be an ethical shift among the population of the area in order to ensure long-term success of both the reforestation project itself and efforts to mitigate climate change and food insecurity.
Convert the pasture lands to syntropic food forests and native forests, and then the birds and other native animals will have a place to live again.
Let us not forget that this is primarily due to deforestation, whether directly (due to loss of tree cover for moisture retention) or indirectly (due to climate change).
Wolves have been observed to subsist on almost exclusively blueberries during the height of the season in Yellowstone, so I'd say the glyphosate residue in the flour is much more of a risk than whatever fruit is in the middle.
