The soy industry kills the Amazon. This needs saying plainly, because somehow it has been filed under "environmental problems with meat" when soy is the thing doing it. Brazil is the world's largest soy producer. Between 2001 and 2020, soy expansion drove the loss of millions of hectares of Cerrado and Amazon forest. This soy, and here is where the story performs a disappearing act, is overwhelmingly used to produce soybean oil, with the defatted meal then sold as animal feed. The oil is the product. The chickens get the leftovers. The deforestation is happening to make the cooking oil in your shop-bought hummus. Glyphosate use on soy is among the highest of any agricultural commodity on Earth. Then the nutrition. Soy contains phytoestrogens, isoflavones, that structurally resemble oestrogen and bind to oestrogen receptors. Whether this matters at normal consumption levels is contested. What isn't contested: the cumulative exposure across soy protein isolate in protein bars, meat alternatives, infant formula, and oat milk is not being tracked by anyone. Soy also contains phytic acid, lectins, and trypsin inhibitors. Traditional fermented preparations: miso, tempeh, natto, break these down substantially. Soy protein isolate, ultra-processed and added to half the products in the wellness aisle, does not. The protein content is real. The amino acid profile is reasonable for a plant. These facts exist. But a product that cleared the Amazon, is littered with defensive toxins, runs on glyphosate, and arrives in your protein bar as a hexane-extracted isolate has somehow become the healthy and environmentally ethical choice. At least the cow ate grass.

@SimonJBroddle I was never daft enough to try it because I saw it used properly… 😎😆

😂 absolutely, but that’s what made you an engineer? Curiosity 😜

Not only this, the ingredients stink. #boycottCadbury

I can smell this photo 🤭

@HungryAI_App That’s not food.

Follow for daily food posts 😋

Pizza for dinner anyone 😋

Macmillan pay well, too. They don’t need your money.

Now you know…cus I just learned too! 😊

Over 300 cases of meningitis last year & nothing. 32 cases of meningitis this year with a population of over 70million & mass panic & mass vaccinations. Does anyone else think this is all a bit weird & very deja vu?

For decades, Versova Beach in Mumbai, India, was not a beach in any traditional sense. It was a dumping ground. Piled shin-high in millions of kilograms of plastic waste, glass, and sewage, the coastline was legally considered a landfill. But in October 2015, one man, a young lawyer named Afroz Shah, decided he could no longer stand to see his childhood beach buried under garbage. What began as a simple, solitary act of picking up trash eventually sparked the world’s largest beach cleanup initiative. Week after week, for over 126 weeks, Afroz Shah was joined by an ever-growing army of volunteers. From local fisherfolk and Bollywood celebrities to school children and senior citizens, the community reclaimed their coast. They removed over 13 million kilograms of waste from the shoreline. In 2018, the ultimate payoff arrived. For the first time in over twenty years, the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles returned to Versova Beach to nest. It was a historic moment, confirming that their eco-system had successfully regenerated. Today, Afroz Shah is a recipient of the United Nations' highest environmental accolade, the "Champion of the Earth." The Versova Beach project continues to inspire similar cleanup movements globally, proving that through consistent, passionate action, we can "refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle"—and most importantly, restore our planet.

Zero… nada…… zip!!

FAFO… Wonder if the doctor he goes to is a DEI hire? 🤭

‘A bat and ball cost $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?’

When you do not learn from history (or are a willful fuckwit) you are doomed to repeat it.

@scarce_sense Blimey. I’ve done a near 24h shift, hard going! 😳

@Engineer4Health I topped out just over 100. My longest shift was 26hrs. We ran 2x 7 hour shifts. Ocassionally we'd do double shifts. One time they opened a 3rd shift and decided on the fly to remain open for the remaining 3 hours of the day. I lasted a little into the next morning shift.

Longest week was 70h. I burned out.

The *grifters* are certainly the ones selling something. Statins.

@jimbosb16 @DrPlantel Healthy people ain’t profitable. They keep moving the goalposts to get you hooked….

@DrPlantel Maybe it's seed oils, diet and stagnation. Lifestyle, not pills

My favorite wellness hack is staying far away from people who think high cholesterol is a “myth” while cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer.

So *no* CV deaths with low cholesterol then?

Will I die if I don't eat fats and proteins? Yes. Will I die if I don't eat carbs? No. I would die if I ate only carbs. How do I know? I'm taking care of someone who only survived on carbs for 3 years. No fats or proteins. She's so malnourished she almost died.
