@pcgonenuts @SamaHoole Sorry your unwell 🥺@pcgonenuts Hope you Get better soon 🙏 Hospital food, in general is pretty bleak 🫠

Fun fact: rapeseed oil is sold as "vegetable oil" in the UK because the original name was bad for marketing. During the Industrial Revolution, it lubricated steam engines. That was the job. In the 1950s, the FDA classified it as unfit for human consumption. The erucic acid was toxic to the heart. Banned. In the 1970s, Canadian scientists bred a low-acid variant, rebranded it "canola," and walked it onto the dinner plate. Now it's drizzled on salads, baked into bread, and labelled "heart healthy" on the bottle. Industrial lubricant. Renamed. Repositioned. Sold to the public as the responsible choice. In addition to calories, it generously provides oxidative stress, inflammation, and a steady contribution to every chronic disease the country is currently drowning in.

Mrs. Jenkins, 1970, walks down the high street with a wicker basket. - Beef topside from Mr. Pearson, for Sunday - Streaky bacon, sliced thick on the slicer - Lamb's liver for Tuesday tea - Pork sausages, made on the premises that morning - A whole chicken, giblets in a paper bag inside - Suet for the steak and kidney pudding - Butter wrapped in greaseproof paper - A wedge of Lancashire from the wheel - Two dozen eggs from the farm down the road - Double cream for the trifle - A pound of dripping in a stoneware pot, for the chips - Four kippers for Saturday breakfast - A loaf baked that morning, four ingredients Total: about £6. She fed a husband and three children for the week, with leftovers for Monday. Nobody was overweight. Nobody had high cholesterol. Nobody was on any pills. Her granddaughter, 2026, opens the Tesco app on the sofa. - Six chicken breasts, water-injected - "Low-fat" turkey mince - Yoghurts with 14 ingredients per pot - Flora "buttery" spread, palm oil and rapeseed - A bottle of skimmed milk - Pre-grated "mature" cheddar with anti-caking agent - Two ready meals branded "Healthy Living" - "No added sugar" cordial, three artificial sweeteners - "Soft white medium" loaf, eleven ingredients - "Fruit and nut" bars, glucose syrup and rapeseed oil - Squeezable mayonnaise - Pre-washed salad treated with chlorine - Olive oil, for the "Mediterranean" diet she read about Total: about £127. She feeds herself and her husband for three days and orders again on Wednesday. She is, in her early forties, on statins. Her husband is on metformin. The grandmother traded a butcher for a megafarm. A cheese counter for an anti-caking agent. A dairyman for a logistics chain. Dripping for rapeseed oil. A four-ingredient loaf for an eleven-ingredient one. A wicker basket for an app. She paid twenty times the price for worse food, less of it, and threw her health in as part of the deal. The supermarket called this progress. Mrs. Jenkins would have called it being had.

@SamaHoole @Jigglett2 Sam I'm currently in uk #nhs hospital and yesterday for 1st time I happened to look at the ingredients of the sandwiches they give every day.... All E numbers and rapeseed oil! Ugh

@edgaralandough So true

That hit me hard today, because if we’re being honest, most of what we carry isn’t even worth carrying. It’s just heavy because we refuse to let it go. One thing that stuck with me… if it’s not peace, it’s not God. Sit with that. Because a lot of us have normalized anxiety, chaos, and stress like it’s just part of life, but it’s not. God brings peace, clarity, and direction, so if your life feels out of alignment, the real question is what are you leaning on?

I just walked out of church after great service , and I can’t shake this feeling… we’re wasting way too much of the little time we’ve been given. Not because we’re lazy, but because we’re distracted by things that don’t matter. We stress over money, opinions, validation, social media… we hold onto resentment, bitterness, anger, things people said years ago, and none of it serves any purpose in God’s kingdom. None of it is coming with you when this life is over.

@SamaHoole Realise that Chinese or S. Asian way is best for me - handful size of meat protein, handful size of rice with some veg or egg in it, and some sauce. What's not to like....

You soak your beans overnight to reduce phytic acid. You sprout your grains to neutralise the antinutrients. You boil your spinach to break down oxalates. You ferment your legumes to make them digestible. You roast your nuts to deactivate enzyme inhibitors. You pressure cook your lectins. You peel, you blanch, you discard the cooking water. Hours of preparation. Multiple appliances. A pantry full of techniques refined over millennia by humans desperately trying to make plants less hostile to the people eating them. All this effort. All this ceremony. To render the food slightly less determined to harm you. Or you could feed the plants to a cow. Let its four-chambered fermentation system handle the entire operation across 24 to 48 hours of specialised bacterial digestion. Then eat the cow. Zero phytic acid. Zero oxalates. Zero lectins. Zero antinutrients of any kind. Just complete bioavailable protein, every essential amino acid, B12, iron, zinc, creatine, and the fat-soluble vitamins, all packaged in a form your body recognises without a 12-step preparation manual. The cow already did the soaking, sprouting, boiling, and fermenting. It's called ruminant digestion. You're eating the finished product. Beef is the ultimate plant-based food. All the nutrition the plant pulled from the soil, none of the chemistry the plant deployed to stop you eating it. The carnivore isn't avoiding plants. He's outsourcing the detoxification to an animal evolved over 50 million years to handle it. And then he's sitting down to dinner like a civilised person, instead of standing over a stockpot at 11pm wondering why his kale still tastes like punishment.

@Trailtrekker25 @SamaHoole They give me bad dreams!

@SamaHoole Kidney beans which are popular for making chili will give you stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea if not processed correctly.

@JoeyMannarino @skeindubh1 Oh I'm going to go on a luxury cruise to USA, med and Scandinavia...!

Imagine being 65 right now in this world and waited to travel. You saved your whole life and did things the right way and now you can finally start to travel after retirement. And where the hell can you travel to? Europe is a rape-filled Islamic shithole. All the great cities you wanted to visit look like Pakistan. What a scam. Who wants to see a bunch of Moslem inbreds?

@PhilipLynn15267 Not talking about your mum, but Just cos people are old doesn't always mean they're nice.

My Mam is 100 years old tomorrow. I'm so proud of her..

@Jenny_1884 @nodbear Fertiliser supplies through the straights of hormuz I heard...?

Why would there be a shortage of Potatoes, Milk or Chickens if the Iran war continues? We have enough of these in our own country. That’s why we have farmers.

Rogue takeaways in Liverpool and Manchester are brazenly passing off cheap imported catfish as traditional cod or haddock fish and chips, DNA testing at Liverpool John Moores University exposed three out of ten chippies tested were serving pangasius also known as river cobbler, the tropical freshwater fish costs just £3.40 per kilo compared to £15 for proper species so rogue shops pocket huge mark-ups while customers pay full price, honest Liverpool chip shop owners say the scam is far more common than people realise and it's putting legitimate businesses at a massive disadvantage, Thoughts?

@SteveSims_HS @shagbark_hick Yes, very true

@shagbark_hick @pcgonenuts When covid lockdowns and panick buying left supermarket shelves empty, our household barely noticed. Already had rice, pasta, potatoes and flour and knew how to use it. Not only do you need to be able to live on little money you also need to learn how to cook.

You've got to be planning for poverty. Assume that you're GOING to lose it all. Assume that when you do lose it all, the economy will be in shambles, and you will have to beg for ANY job just to make ends meet. Make sure that you could live on minimum wage or less. If you do this, but wind up earning big money anyway, you keep more of it. But you move with total insurance that even if you lose everything, and things fall apart / don't work out -- you'll be OK. Keep the cupboard STOCKED. Remember that rice is $0.50/lb and will keep you from starving when your time comes. Don't be afraid of eating squirrel, carp, dandelion. Train your family to be ready for another Great Depression if need be. I have no idea why people aren't thinking like this more. Absolutely nothing is guaranteed in our economic system, and if and when you lose it all, you do not want to have gigantic sums ($2,000+) in mandatory monthly expenses. You do not want the repo man to come around, you do not want to lose your house, you do not want to look at the cupboard and see that it is empty. Anyone who has ever really been hard up knows this stuff intuitively. Some deride it as "survival mode," as if it were a mental illness to have this type of foresight. It is not, it is basic necessity. Don't live as if the "good times" will never end. They very well may.

Don't let insecurities hold you back! Our swimsuits are here to celebrate your unique charm and help you embrace your body with confidence

How do you guys stay sane with so much crazy shit going on in your life? What do you do to keep a level head? I feel like I am losing it right now.

@AmericaPapaBear @NolaCookPatriot Youtube meditation music, Indian goddess music, hertz frequency music, #AbrahamHicks, reading historical novels, somatic exercises etc

APPLE CRUMBLE AND CUSTARD. MY FAVOURITE. YES OR NO.

@ColinSpenc4257 @rospay15 In #nhs hospital last six weeks.... Now, puddings are one thing they are good at....

@TheMarcitect @DanFlet08499316 @Cecilia26251499 Putin has killed thousands of innocent civilians, bombing them in blocks of flats, cos he can.... Get real, he is a murderous dictator. Just because Charles is no good doesnt mean Putin is. Get real.

@DanFlet08499316 @Cecilia26251499 They need the illusion of a bad guy and after 60 years of Russia bad propaganda people are still falling for it.

This inbred clown has never worked a day in his life and he's telling people to prepare for war. These parasites need to be removed from our lives forever and then the world can heal.

No, Prime Minister. You could have banned hate matches. You could have banned pro-Iranian regime groups. You could have deported disgustingly antisemitic imams. You could have cracked down on mosques spewing Jew hatred. Instead you introduced an “anti-Muslim hate” definition.
