Japan ate 6.4 kg of meat per person in 1961 — and 35.5 kg by 2013. In that same window, stroke mortality dropped 85%. Heart disease did not rise. The country that added the most animal protein in Asia got healthier. Here is what nobody put on the poster.

Our aim is to give millions and millions and millions of non-voters the motivation to vote. To finally vote. Every other major political party ignores them, because they don’t. We will not. We will speak to them. And we will give them a reason to vote, finally.

'Frankly, it's insulting.' Former Chaplain to the late Queen, @gavinashenden, says he finds Prince William's confirmation of 'quiet faith' as 'strategic and political'.

Japan is leading the way in protecting children's health by targeting a complete elimination of processed foods and artificial additives from school cafeterias. The country is spearheading a global movement toward superior nutrition by removing all processed and ultra-processed items from school menus. In their place, students now enjoy fresh, traditional, seasonal Japanese dishes prepared daily from scratch—emphasizing whole, natural ingredients over convenience foods. This is far more than just a dietary change; it's a comprehensive national strategy to educate the next generation about the true value of balanced, wholesome nutrition. By prioritizing quality over quick fixes, Japan is cultivating lifelong healthy eating habits that start right in the school cafeteria. Japan's dedication to food purity extends well beyond schools. The nation enforces some of the world's strictest regulations on food additives, preservatives, and chemical colorings—many of which are common in Western processed snacks and beverages. International brands must reformulate products like cereals, candies, and soft drinks to comply with these rigorous standards. Additionally, Japan maintains tight controls on food imports, including strict bans or high certification requirements for meat products and a strong emphasis on the JAS organic label. These measures protect against diseases, industrial contaminants, and unsafe practices, reinforcing Japan's global reputation for having among the highest food safety and quality standards worldwide.

You need to watch Kenneth Clark’s 1969 docuseries, Civilisation. He covers the fall of Rome up to the mid 20th century. It’s 13 parts and 11 hours long, but it’s incredible.

🚨 Do you understand what just happened.. the owner of OnlyFans just died at 43.. Leonid Radvinsky.. the man made $3 billion off a platform where other people sell themselves.. he took 20% of every transaction.. every video.. every message.. every tip.. while creators fought algorithms and chargebacks and deplatforming threats just to make rent.. he sat at the top collecting a cut of their bodies.. and everyone called him a "tech founder".. the man wasn't a tech founder.. he was the most successful middleman in history.. and the wildest part.. OnlyFans was profitable from day one.. no VC money.. no IPO.. because when your business model is taking a fifth of what someone earns from their own skin.. you don't need investors.. you need creators desperate enough to not ask questions.. he had $3 billion and still couldn't beat cancer at 43.. what exactly are we all racing toward.

Brexit has likely done more economic damage than feared. Recent evidence suggests the economic cost of Brexit may be approaching twice the 4% impact assumed by the OBR. The Chancellor has signalled a shift in approach to EU trade, but the effect will depend on how far the govt goes on alignement.

Politicians who slap 70% tax rates on productive people suffer from the same delusion Soviet planners did—they think they can engineer human behavior without consequences. France learned this lesson the hard way when they implemented their 75% wealth tax in 2012, watching their richest citizens (and their businesses) flee to Belgium faster than you could say "au revoir." The policy lasted exactly two years before reality forced a retreat.

Two million years ago, we had cousins. Actual hominins, walking the same savannah, eating the same landscape. They were called Paranthropus. And they made a bet. The bet was plants. Paranthropus boisei had a skull crest like a gorilla, anchoring enormous jaw muscles. Molars four times the size of yours, built for grinding. A face like a biological millstone. Isotope analysis of their bones shows heavy reliance on C4 plants: the tough, low-quality grasses the zebra left behind. Our lineage went the other direction. Smaller jaw. Sharper tools. A growing brain fed on marrow, organ meat, and animal fat. When the climate shifted and the plants got scarce, Paranthropus had one tool: the jaw. We had fire, flint, and legs that could follow the animals wherever they went. Paranthropus went extinct 900,000 years ago. Their dietary philosophy is in the wellness aisle. We're still here.

This corporate stupidity is commonplace
Simons@Simon_Ingari

Boss complained that the company couldn't afford to give salary raises. So they resorted to hiring and firing aggressively to cut costs. This only made the matter worse. He sought advise "What's the average raise request you've denied?" I asked. Boss : "About 15-20%." "And what are you paying new hires?" Boss : "Market rate. Usually 30% more than internal folks." "So you won't pay someone 15% more to stay, but you'll pay someone else 30% more to start?" He shifted. "That's different." "What about Sarah?" I asked. Boss : "She asked for 18K more. We said no. She left. You just hired her replacement." Boss : "Yeah. Took three months to fill." "What did you pay the replacement?" Boss : "85K." Sarah was making 62K. Asked for 80K. "Right." "So you saved 18K by saying no, then spent 23K more to get someone new. Plus signing bonus?" "10K." "What about lost productivity while they ramp up?" "Maybe six months to get to Sarah's level." "That's another 30K in lost output. Plus recruiting costs?" He opened a spreadsheet. "Recruiter was 17K. Training about 15K." I wrote on his whiteboard: - Salary increase: 33K - Signing bonus: 10K - Lost productivity: 30K - Recruiter fee: 17K - Training costs: 15K Total: 105K "You spent 105K to avoid paying 18K." He stared at the board. "How many Sarahs did you lose this year?" "Twelve." "So you burned 1.2 million to save maybe 200K in raises." A few months later, he called. "I just approved every raise request in the queue." "All of them?" "Cost me 340K. Would have cost me 2 million in replacements." "How'd your team react?" "Shocked. Then productive. We're hitting numbers we haven't seen in years." Here's the truth about retention economics: Companies will spend a dollar to save a dime. Then spend ten dollars to fix what broke. We treat current employees like costs and new employees like investments. But retention isn't an expense. It's the highest ROI investment you'll ever make.

The farmer brought a second bull onto the farm in March. Hereford cross, three years old, from a farm near Ross-on-Wye. Sound. Well-grown. The Crediton farmer described him as "easy, very easy, you'll have no trouble." The farmer unloaded him at the field gate. The new bull, the farmer has named him Dennis, which Dennis is not yet aware of, came down the ramp, stood at the gate, and looked at the field. Gerald was in the south corner. Gerald had been in the south corner since first light. Gerald did not look at Dennis. Dennis looked at Gerald for a long time. Dennis walked to the middle of the field. Dennis grazed the middle of the field. Dennis looked at the south corner. Dennis did not approach the south corner. This went on for three days. On the fourth day, Dennis walked toward the south corner in the afternoon. Gerald looked at Dennis. Dennis stopped. Dennis assessed Gerald with the focused attention of an animal that has just understood something. Dennis went back to the middle of the field. Dennis has been in the middle of the field since. The farmer watched this from the gate and told his wife that evening. His wife: "Gerald didn't do anything, did he." Farmer: "Gerald grazed." His wife: "And Dennis just... stopped?" Farmer: "Just stopped. Turned around. Went back." His wife looked at the field for a while. "Gerald didn't move." "Gerald never moves." Dennis grazes the middle field. Gerald grazes the south corner. The south corner is Gerald's. Dennis understood this on day four. Dennis was always going to understand this. Gerald was always going to be in the south corner. Some things don't require negotiation.
