#Artificial Meat Products Market

[theropoda]

SO. The Question. david 8 or 1? i think, in short, Our David(TM)(the custody battle was long and fierce but he belongs to all of us now. fuck weyland) WAS a david 8 in prometheus but this was retconned into him being the First in covenant. in long, uhhhh. it's complicated. let's get to the meat (or...cadmium alloy?) of the matter. apologies in advance if this is like incomprehensible, i'm awful with words LOL

so first of all let's go through the prometheus marketing materials: they all seem to point to david being an 8.

now i don't necessarily believe the david being interviewed in this video is Our David (yeah i'm gonna be calling him that for the rest of this post) but the fact is that this video's purpose was to give us an insight into the david that would star in prometheus, so i assume it implies strongly that the david in prometheus is also an 8

the old promotional website straight up calls him an 8

but now let's look at covenant, where he is retconned to be The First david to be made and activated. covenant opens with our david's activation: notice how old weyland is in this? he's pretty young looking compared to fuckin' methuselah we see in prometheus LOL.

BUT! how can this be? if our david is a david 8 he could have only been activated after 2068, 2068 being the year david 7 was released according to the timeline, by which time weyland, born in 1990, must've been 77.

so weyland must've been over 77 years old by our david's activation IF he is an 8. but as we see he is nowhere near that old in covenant's opening scene. if we're to assume he is activating david 1 here, he would be 34, which looks about right!

(david 8's release isn't even mentioned in the timeline page, which is something which, paired with the aforementioned "happy birthday david" video advertising david 8 models, plus the news page featuring an article dated 2072 that mentions david 8 pre-orders (imagine if they had stupid pre-order bonuses like video games have now lol? pre-order david 8 NOW and he comes with a FREE maid costume!!!!), must mean that the 8th model is NEW by the time prometheus happens. fresh out of the oven, just now available for purchase)

there's also the scene in covenant where walter tells daniels that our david is the first ever david model that weyland made that was "thought lost" in the prometheus mission. unfortunately i don't have a clip on hand of this scene, neither can i find the final movie's script which would have it written out, but i'm sure if you have quick access to the movie like on a streaming service you can find what i'm talking about :P it's sometime after david guides the covenant crew to the destroyed engineer city.

but an outright, blatant confirmation of the idea that our david is the first david lies in an early script of covenant that i DO have access to. behold:

david.....NUMBER ONE!

well i think i've made my case clear....but john, you ask, this has quite the implications about our david's quality and ability! david is so intelligent and emotional, yet this idea would imply he's an inferior model capable of such things. and you're right to wonder that, even the weyland website's investor page seems to say as much

and the answer to that question is.......... ummmm ridley didley didnt think this one thru :) i do think it's an oversight from the writers LOL so it's up to the fans to think about it and explain it.

me personally, i think the difference between a commercial david, be it a david 1, or david 8, is different from our david. our david, the first, wasn't made to be a commercial product, it was to test weyland's abilities and see just how close he could get to creating an artificial person. so he went all out, no punches held back, so we get our david being super intelligent and emotional and human and with a sense of independence. this is not a product: this is weyland seeing how far he can go. so in may ways he is the best, really.

the other davids following him though, including the commercial mass produced david 1's (which i believe the chart shows), up to david 8, these are products meant to be bought and sold. an android that is TOO human is, as walter says in covenant, quite disturbing for people, so these commercial davids actually are a little reigned in and "dumbed down" lest they get TOO smart. like yeah, in terms of materials/resources and technology and stuff, these are the superior ones, but in terms of the ability to think, to feel, to philosiphize and of course create, our david is king. the commercial davids are the better machine, our david is the better human. so that's my take.

of course everyone's free to make up their own minds since the actual films fumbled this a little. @muscari-midala had the idea that our david is a david 8 prototype specifically, or that weyland put our david's memory in newer models as they got released, which is very interesting! there's a lot of ways to go about it in my opinion.

anyways if you made it all the way here CONGRATS!!! you get a david as a prize. check your mail tomorrow.

the dark reality behind dairy

By World of Vegan.

Within the dairy realm, two narratives intertwine: the plight of the mothers and that of their offspring.

Artificial insemination serves as a harsh introduction to the dairy industry’s cycle of exploitation. Unlike the natural way to get pregnant, female cows within commercial dairy farms are subjected to an intrusive process that blatantly violates their reproductive system.

This invasive procedure forces cows into a perpetual cycle of pregnancies, denying them the right to choose their mates or control their reproductive destinies.

Just like human mothers, a female cow has a nine-month gestation period. And after giving birth, calves typically nurse from their mothers for 6 months or longer.

But in the dairy industry, once her calf is born, she’ll experience a mere day or two of companionship—sometime less—before her calf is forcefully separated from her to prevent the loss of even a drop of valuable milk, which would cut into the profits of the dairy industry. This is the last time the mother will see her baby.

Like most moms, cows have powerful maternal instincts and are extremely distressed when their babies are taken away from them. Their anguished bellows can be heard for up to a mile away. Some cows are so distraught that they will even stop eating.

Post-separation, the mother cows are subjected to mechanical milking—a stark contrast to the nostalgic image of a farmer hand-milking a cow.

As soon as her baby is taken away, the mother will be hooked up to a milking machine to take the milk that her body made for her calf. In natural circumstances, nursing cows produce just 12 to 15 pounds of milk each day and calves nurse all day long.

But in the majority of today’s dairy operations, a mother cow will produce a staggering 50 pounds of milk daily. The pressure of her painfully loaded udder will only be relieved by mechanical milking twice a day, which often leads to mastitis and other excruciatingly painful conditions.

As time progresses, milk production wanes, initiating a vicious cycle of repeated artificial impregnation, bereavement, and mechanical milking.

This cycle persists yearly until these cows meet a grim fate—slaughtered as adolescents, their natural lifespan of 25 to 30 years cut short. Their bodies, devoid of milk-production utility, are often processed into meat products, most often burgers.

Shifting focus to their offspring, USDA statistics reveal that 97 percent of calves are separated from their mothers within the first 12 hours of birth.

Female calves, like their mothers, confront a bleak fate. Denied maternal nourishment, they are confined in solitary and often cramped pens, where they have no way to find comfort or nurse from their mother.

Replacing mother’s milk with a formula, they endure this existence for 6-8 months, foregoing a natural upbringing characterized by play, bonding, and freedom.

Once fertile, the cycle of forced impregnation, grief, mechanical milking, and eventual slaughter begins anew.

50 percent of the babies born will be male, and a male calf has little financial value to the dairy industry because he’ll never produce milk.

In most situations he’ll either be kept and raised for beef, slaughtered immediately for cheap veal, or sent to a torturous facility to become higher priced veal.

On a veal farm the baby calf will be confined in a small space in which he can barely move and fed an iron-poor diet until he becomes severely anemic. His muscles will atrophy, and at just a few months of age, he’ll be slaughtered. His tender, pale flesh will be sold as veal.

You may be surprised to learn that marketing buzzwords like “Organic, Grass-Fed and Free-range” you might see on meat, dairy, and egg labels don’t guarantee better lives for the animals.

The mechanics remain the same, including the unavoidable separation of baby from mother, painful surgical mutilations without anesthetic, factory-style milking, and premature slaughter.

These terms, designed to attract compassionate consumers, fail to dismantle the core mechanisms of exploitation.

Considering the immense suffering, is the fleeting gustatory pleasure of cow’s milk truly worth it? The array of delicious, plant-based alternatives renders this question obsolete. Opting for both taste and compassion aligns with our evolving food landscape.

Our grocery choices equate to votes for the world we desire. While personal, these choices transcend the individual, impacting the lives of others.

Opting for animal-based dairy entails contributing to a continuum of suffering. Awareness fuels change. Acknowledging one’s past contributions to cruelty ignites a journey toward more humane choices. Armed with knowledge, we navigate a path of greater compassion, for when we know better, we can genuinely do better.

How Innovation Is Reshaping the Food Industry

Food innovation refers to introducing novel ideas, products, and technologies that change how society produces, processes, packages, distributes, and consumes food. It goes beyond merely creating new recipes or flavors - food innovation encompasses advances in agriculture, food science, sustainability, and packaging. The goal is to enhance efficiency, safety, nutrition, and the overall consumer experience.

The need for food innovation arises from the ever-changing demands of consumers and the pressing challenges faced by the industry. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. Additionally, sustainability concerns, climate change, and limited resources prompt exploring alternative food growing and production methods. Innovations in food aim to enhance food security, minimize environmental impact, and offer consumers healthier, more diverse options.

Food innovation occurs through a combination of research, collaboration, and creativity. Scientists, entrepreneurs, farmers, and food industry professionals work together to develop new technologies and processes. Research institutions and startups play a crucial role in conducting experiments, testing new concepts, and bringing innovative products to the market.

In recent years, the food industry has witnessed groundbreaking innovations reshaping how people interact with food. The plant-based movement has gained immense traction, with plant-based alternatives for meat, dairy, and seafood becoming mainstream. Companies have developed plant-based burgers, vegan cheeses, and sustainable seafood alternatives using cutting-edge technologies. Beyond plant-based options, innovations have also focused on alternative protein sources, such as insect-based proteins and lab-grown meats, offering sustainable and protein-rich alternatives.

Swedish startup Mycorena is boosting microbial protein production through its fungi-based mycoprotein called Promyc. This ingredient can be used to create meat and tuna alternatives, beverage additives, and dessert ingredients, offering plant-based and sustainable options for consumers.

Finnish startup Onego Bio has developed a product genetically identical to egg whites using fermentation, and without using actual chickens. It uses precision fermentation of a microflora called Trichoderma reesei to produce ovalbumin, the protein found in chicken egg whites. This technology offers a sustainable and animal-friendly alternative for various food applications, including baked goods, desserts, sauces, and dressings.

Companies like New Culture are incorporating animal-free casein into their cheeses through precision fermentation. This breakthrough allows them to produce animal-free mozzarella cheese, offering a delicious and cruelty-free alternative to traditional dairy products.

In addition, consumers increasingly seek transparency in food choices, leading to the clean label movement. Brands are responding by using simple natural ingredients and avoiding artificial additives and preservatives.

Breakthrough innovations in the food industry are revolutionizing how society grows, produces, and consumes food, focusing on sustainability, nutrition, and convenience. One such innovation is plastic-free and smart packaging. Food companies are exploring biodegradable and even edible packaging solutions in response to environmental concerns. Smart packaging using nanotechnology is also gaining popularity, allowing consumers to assess food safety and quality easily.

The Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture employs sensors and data analytics for optimizing crop conditions, irrigation, and pest control, reducing resource usage. Food waste reduction solutions, such as surplus food redistribution platforms, are being developed to combat the global food waste crisis. Moreover, biotechnology and data science advances enable personalized nutrition, tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and health goals. These innovations promise a more sustainable, healthier, and efficient food future.

Food innovation is driving a remarkable transformation in the food industry, responding to the challenges and opportunities of today. From new plant-based products to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge technologies, the future of food promises to be more diverse, nutritious, and sustainable. As consumers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders continue to embrace innovation, the food industry's journey toward a more resilient and conscious future is set to continue.

i would love to be part of the just consume less crowd unfortunately i don't think this is ever going to bring about any meaningful change in production because the production circle under capitalism is so divorced from the consumer's needs. bourgeois economic theory loves to hold up the tale of supply and demand but this idea that has been repeated countless times by every neoliberal politician under the sun does not accurately capture the real material circumstances behind economic processes because how much profit a corporation makes hinges less on the total amount of goods sold and more on the efficiency of the process of production (producing a specific amount of goods as fast as possible at the lowest possible cost). this contradiction (a capitalist needs a lot of cheap workers to produce his goods for him but he also needs consumers who are able buy these goods once they have been produced) is why the capitalist system already causes overproduction crises to happen organically every few decades or so. what cutting down on our consumption does is it deliberately brings about such a state of there being more products than customers to pay for them which is a state that we know from experience capitalism can survive through downsizing, state subventions and the artificial increase of demand (e.g. through planned obsolescence). the best result we can hope for by collectively cutting down on our consumption of a specific product e.g. meat is for a few corporations in that sector to go bankrupt (and a lot of workers losing their jobs because those are the people that suffer the most from economic recessions) but once the market has downsized enough for production to start again things are going to go back to how they were before because the material interests of the bourgeoisie that drive them to produce have not changed.

Happy WBW! What is the most deadly weapon in your world?

Thank you for the ask!

Ekatism Tech

Ekatism Tech, the creation of which catalyzed the Age of Glass and Metal, allowed for the capture and processing of lifeforce, essentially converting a soul into a workable source of energy. This technology was developed by the human researcher and sage, Tagalan Ekat. Ironically, by the time of her death, she actively campaigned against her own invention.

Ekatism Tech was originally intended for benevolent purposes. It was meant to enable physicians and caretakers to transfer some of their own strength and vitality into others, aiding in better recovery. However, it was quickly discovered that this capture and transfer of energy could be done without the consent of the person being drained. Moreover, the energy or magical power taken from an individual didn’t have to be stored in a living body but could be put into inanimate vessels for later use.

The process of collecting souls for energy was first tested on prisoners, with the energy taken from them used to light the very prisons they inhabited. Several nations legalized the use of Ekatism Tech in hospitals to “utilize” dying or otherwise unresponsive patients, including its own inventor, Tagalan Ekat. In time, Ekatism Execution became the preferred method of execution in most Pre-Calamity nations.

The Ekatism Corporation, in cooperation with the agricultural sector, began to use the technology in slaughterhouses to kill livestock, using the resultant energy to light cities and fuel an Industrial Revolution. This led to a dramatic increase in meat consumption, with the average Pre-Calamity civilian consuming 780% more meat and meat by-products than their Post-Calamity counterparts. 

Energy specifically sourced from animal life was marketed as “humane” and considerably cheaper, while energy sourced from prisoners and the dying was sold at a far cheaper rate. However, once a soul was broken down into energy, it could not be reverted, and evidence suggested that the soul might still retain some level of awareness in this state. This process resulted in the permanent destruction of souls, preventing reincarnation and causing massive ecological destruction both on Kobani and in other worlds within the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Ekatism Tech was eventually co-opted by military groups, resulting in the development of guns and bombs. The Ekatsim Rifle M4, the most popular of its kind, could shoot a miniature Ekatism apparatus instead of a bullet. Upon penetrating a living being, the apparatus would absorb their energy, killing the individual. These pellets could then be retrieved and repurposed. More advanced weapons capable of draining multiple individuals at once were also invented.

The most feared weapon was the Sage-Suit, a metal exoskeleton that allowed the user to collect and utilize energy for various purposes, similar to how a sage uses magic but without the physical degradation. Sage-Suits became emblematic of a new, Ekatism-fueled world. The need for conventional fuel in warfare became irrelevant, as the enemy themselves became a fuel source. Successful invasions or military operations had a direct influence on energy prices for consumers, as the energy produced from enemy combatants (and non-combatants) flooded the market. Several nations even legalized the use of Ekatism Tech on prisoners of war.

Ekatism Tech was responsible for the near-total annihilation of the Tree-Tender people and several other groups. Further developments allowed for the technology's use on plant life and spirits. Concurrently, technology was perfected to infuse energy into fetuses in utero, creating artificially enhanced Spiritbloods. These Spiritbloods were utilized as super-soldiers, often further enhanced by Sage-Suits and Ekatism Implants.

The destructive potential of Ekatism Tech eventually gained the attention and ire of the Gods, leading to the total destruction of all human cities and over 99% of the population in an event known as the Calamity. Despite this, some pieces of Ekatism Tech still exist, scattered in the remote and hidden places of Kobani, waiting to be discovered once more.

Crisco is a vegan cooking fat and an icon of the Ashkenazi-Jewish American Dream. 

For over a century, the strange, oily gloop has graced kosher restaurants, holiday cookbooks and hand-scribbled recipe cards in Jewish homes across the nation, becoming a (contested) symbol of Jewish American identity and culinary tradition . 

But how did Judaism get to Crisco as America is to apple pie? The answer lies at the intersection of early 20th-century consumerism and Jewish American culture. 

First, we need to take a look at the origins of Crisco itself. Debuted in 1911 as a product of Cincinnati’s Procter & Gamble Co., it started as a strange solution to a strange problem. Textile production skyrocketed during the Industrial Revolution, leaving America with a surplus of leftover cotton seeds. No one could figure out what to do with them — until chemists learned to extract the oil and combine it with hydrogen, which created a cheap alternative to animal-based fats like lard and tallow. Initially, Procter & Gamble intended to use the new substance to make candles. But they ended up selling it as a food product, instead. 

The public wasn’t totally sold on the idea. Aside from sneaky CEOs cutting costs by substituting it for pricier olive oil, cottonseed oil wasn’t typically used in the food business. It was primarily intended for soap, artificial dyes and explosives. There was even some debate over whether cottonseed oil is really a food (spoiler: it isn’t; Procter & Gamble would later switch to other vegetarian oils). 

Eventually it caught on with the help of some clever, if somewhat dishonest, marketing. But sales still weren’t remarkable among established Americans. Given the product’s versatile non-dairy, non-meat nature, Procter & Gamble’s PR team decided to give a hard sell to the nation’s newly minted community of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. One 1913 newspaper advertisement, printed in English and Yiddish and distributed throughout the United States, made the lofty claim that “The Hebrew Race has been waiting 4,000 years for Crisco.” 

4,000 years! 4,000 years spent wandering through deserts and across the globe, all for… non-dairy shortening? Shockingly, the ploy worked; American Jews went wild for Crisco — and haven’t looked back since. 

There are evident perks: It’s kosher, and pareve, too. That means that, when she has Crisco on hand, the good Jewish housewife doesn’t need to buy both schmaltz — for meat — and butter — for dairy — thus saving money and resources. And, a hundred or so years ago, Crisco was considered (or, at least, marketed as) a healthy alternative to traditional animal-based cooking fats. 

But more important was Crisco’s cultural significance. For new immigrants, the feeling of belonging was vital. There was a constant struggle between old and new, religion and nation, and tradition and assimilation. Here was a practical solution that didn’t require compromise. Kosher enough for the rabbi, stylish enough for the all-American woman and economical to boot, Crisco was a tasty, practical reminder that you could be both Jewish and American — and be so with class and tact. 

Procter & Gamble’s 1933 cookbook, “Crisco Recipes for the Jewish Housewife,” cemented the product’s popularity within the Jewish community. Each recipe was printed in both English and Yiddish. Offerings ranged from traditional favorites, like kugel, to American icons such as southern fried chicken and macaroni salad — all, of course, with a generous helping of Crisco. Despite the economic hardship of the Great Depression, sales continued to soar. Over the course of a century, Crisco grew from its resourceful beginnings to the heart of American Jewish cooking. 

In recent years, though, Crisco has amassed slews of controversy. For one thing, it’s been condemned for ruining the magic of traditional (i.e., schmaltzy) Jewish cooking with its sub-par flavor. Perhaps more shocking is the revelation that Crisco, marketed as an “all-vegetable shortening” doesn’t actually include any vegetables — at all. Even though it’s no longer made from cottonseed oil, Crisco’s modern key ingredients, soybean and palm oil, aren’t derived from vegetables, or even fruits, but from grains. They’re not particularly healthy or environmentally friendly, either. So, while definitely a little more edible, modern Crisco is not exactly a huge improvement on its cottonseed predecessor. 

Why do we continue to use Crisco? I think that, like with many Ashkenazi Jewish cultural rites, the answer can be most accurately summed up by Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof”: TRADITION! So next time you bite into a Crisco-coated latke, or hamantaschen, or maybe even fried chicken, you too can follow in the footsteps of our foremothers and savor the unctuous, oily flavor of Jewish American history.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Halal Mortadella

Halal mortadella is a delicious and popular cold cut enjoyed by many around the world. It is made from high-quality ingredients and follows strict halal guidelines, making it a great choice for those who prefer halal-certified meats. Whether you enjoy it in sandwiches, pasta, or salads, mortadella halal offers a rich, savory flavor that enhances any dish.

Choosing the best halal mortadella can be challenging, as there are many options available in the market. Factors such as ingredients, preparation methods, and quality standards all play a role in determining which one is best for you. This guide will help you understand what to look for when selecting the finest mortadella beef so that you can enjoy its taste while ensuring it meets your dietary needs.

Understanding What Makes Mortadella Halal

Not all mortadella is halal, so it is essential to understand what makes it suitable for halal consumers. The primary factor that differentiates halal mortadella from regular mortadella is the way it is prepared and the ingredients used.

Mortadella halal must be made from meat that is slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines. This means the animal must be healthy and processed in a humane manner. Additionally, all ingredients, including seasonings and preservatives, must also be halal-certified. Some brands might add non-halal additives, so checking the label carefully before purchasing is always a good practice.

Checking the Quality of Halal Mortadella

The quality of halal mortadella depends on the ingredients used and the manufacturing process. High-quality mortadella beef should have a smooth texture, a rich aroma, and a fresh taste.

When selecting mortadella halal, look for products with natural ingredients and minimal preservatives. Artificial flavors and excessive additives can affect the taste and texture. Additionally, the meat should be evenly blended with small fat cubes, giving it a signature soft yet slightly firm feel. Freshness is also crucial, so always check the expiration date before purchasing.

Choosing the Right Type of Halal Mortadella

There are different types of halal mortadella available, depending on the type of meat used and the seasonings added. Some varieties are made from mortadella beef, while others may contain a mix of meats such as turkey or chicken.

If you prefer a richer flavor, opt for pure beef mortadella. It has a deep taste and works well in various dishes. For a lighter option, chicken or turkey mortadella might be a better choice. Some halal mortadella also comes with added spices, olives, or pistachios, which can enhance the flavor and make it more enjoyable.

Reading Labels and Certifications

When buying halal mortadella, reading the label is crucial to ensure it meets halal standards. The packaging should have a halal certification from a trusted authority, confirming that the meat and all ingredients comply with Islamic dietary laws.

In addition to the halal certification, check the ingredient list for any artificial additives or non-halal ingredients. Some mortadella halal brands use fillers or chemical preservatives that may not be suitable for those who prefer natural and healthier options. Always choose products with clear labeling and trustworthy certifications.

Where to Buy High-Quality Halal Mortadella

Finding high-quality halal mortadella can be easy if you know where to look. Many supermarkets, halal butcher shops, and online stores offer a variety of options to choose from.

For the freshest selection, consider purchasing from a trusted halal meat shop or specialty store. If you prefer shopping online, look for reputable sellers that provide clear details about the product, including its ingredients and halal certification. Reading customer reviews can also help you determine the quality and taste before making a purchase.

Storing and Preserving Halal Mortadella

Proper storage is essential to maintain the freshness and taste of your halal mortadella. Since it is a processed meat, it should always be kept refrigerated to prevent spoilage.

Once opened, wrap mortadella halal tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. This helps retain its flavor and prevents it from drying out. If you buy in bulk, you can also freeze portions to extend their shelf life. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator to preserve its texture and taste.

How to Enjoy Halal Mortadella in Your Meals

Halal mortadella is incredibly versatile and can be used in many delicious recipes. Whether you enjoy it in sandwiches, pasta, or salads, it adds a unique taste that enhances your meals.

For a quick and easy meal, try layering mortadella beef in a fresh sandwich with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. If you enjoy Italian cuisine, adding thin slices of mortadella halal to pasta dishes can bring out a rich and savory flavor. You can also dice it into small pieces and mix it into a fresh salad for a protein boost.

Conclusion

Choosing the best halal mortadella requires careful attention to ingredients, quality, and certifications. By understanding what makes mortadella halal, reading labels, and selecting high-quality options, you can enjoy this delicious meat with confidence.

Whether you prefer it in sandwiches, pasta, or other creative recipes, mortadella beef is a tasty and versatile choice. By following this guide, you can make informed decisions and find the perfect halal mortadella to suit your taste and dietary preferences. Enjoy your meals with the rich and satisfying flavors of halal mortadella!

Trump has exposed beyond all dispute the lie that nations exist as anything more than incidental agglomerations of meat and cartographers' scratchings used to delineate economic spheres of market and resource and purchasing power.

The American state's signal failure to achieve anything against or even in his mania's service

the world community's juvenile denialism of their responsibilities when the United States exercises such extremes of industrial and organizational power

the fragmentary globe's solipsism and unwillingness to unite in pursuit of productive intervention

America's friends', enemies', and horrified bystanders' torpor

all of this should make clear death-dream capitalism has succeeded in dehumanizing the entire planet as both individuals and collectives.

Past even the insectile degradation of Stalinism, Maoism, and Kimism, it is capitalist Wealthism that belies any claim the human animal is possessed of innate and inviolate dignity and divine ordination.

For all their godbothering histrionics, it is the American right that have killed the ideal we are sacred of purpose and parentage. All that is good and beautiful and Edenic in the species and its ecology has been Taylorized, McNamarized, commodified, quantified, wealthified into impersonal clumps of stuff whose only value is found when counted in piles of hallucinatory numbers.

The eternal reactionary whinge it is progressivism, communism, socialism, antimaterialism that fuel relativism and outright amorality is as always projection. There is and can be no god and no holiness in capitalism because it is the abolition of humanity itself and the enslavement of the warm willing flesh as instrument.

Artificiality is now incarnate and stalks the earth realer than the warmth of a lover's hand.

Nothing holds meaning now that the very ideal is rejected for the evanescent head-count of consumption.

Every one of you holds responsibility for this. You never were obliged to participate and accede with meekness. At any time, any

every

one of you had the right and obligation to say, No

to renounce and to reject and to pursue as far as possible a life that would start to drag the great slothful weight of this accursed race back away from sunless night.

But you wouldn't. You let yourselves be distracted by infantile appeals to tribe and conflict

to hatred and vengeance

to the imperfect settlement of arms and community ruin as satisfice for collective betterment.

We few who tried now stand aloof and shrug.

I speak only for myself, but I don't care. I've lost the capacity to care. I see no future for myself and for anyone else.

I am a lifelong psychotic. My parents did not want me as anything but a bauble and a punching bag. I am schizophrenic and possessed of religious delusions that have seen me as prophet-martyr.

But it is not god who speaks to me now except in the airless cold wind where once there were purpose and direction.

It is something worse: It is history

and it is to know there is no precedent for this.

The human race is dead. I no longer dream. I no longer have visions. I no longer hear god and its angels.

I see nothing.

And so it is.

How Halal Certification in Qatar Helps Promote Healthy Food Choices?

Halal certification in Qatar promotes healthier food choices by strictly adhering to guidelines that prioritize food quality, safety, and ethical sourcing. Even though the main purpose of Halal certification is to ensure that food products are compliant with Islamic dietary laws, it also encourages the use of high-quality ingredients and sustainable practices, which may positively impact the health and well-being of consumers. For instance, through Halal slaughtering procedures, it becomes possible for one to achieve free meat products devoid of hazardous chemicals, additives, and contaminants since the animal would be healthy, treated well. This technique disallows alcohol, as well as non-Halal products like pork, compelling food producers to focus on alternative natural wholesome materials.

Halal certification in Qatar also helps consumers make informed choices about the food they consume, which is particularly important in a market that is becoming increasingly health-conscious. As the country’s population grows and diversifies, the demand for healthier food options is rising. With this halal certification, consumers get a reliable standard to trust; it not only makes the food compliant with the religion but also with high nutritional standards. The products that come under the category of certified Halal often claim to be made from fresh local ingredients, lessening the amount of processed and artificial foods consumed, which in turn causes issues such as obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases.

Additionally, Halal-certified food establishments in Qatar are now also focused on a range of nutritionally balanced and healthy meals, which cater to the diverse diet requirements of different people. Thus, healthier choices have been promoted on the menus, including more plant-based food options, lower-fat food choices, and less use of dangerous preservatives and additives. As the relationship between diet and health becomes more well-known, Halal certification provides a framework for food producers and consumers alike to make healthier, more sustainable food choices.

Halal certification in Qatar supports the promotion of healthier food options by ensuring high standards of quality, ethical sourcing, and nutritional integrity, which will benefit both consumers and the broader food industry.

The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods: A Comprehensive Overview

Ultra-processed foods are industrially manufactured products containing ingredients rarely used in home cooking, such as hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, colorings, emulsifiers, preservatives, and sweeteners. Examples include sugary cereals, soda, packaged snacks, instant noodles, and fast food. These products often undergo extensive processing to enhance taste and texture while being low in essential nutrients.

Health Risks of Ultra-Processed Foods 

1. Obesity and Weight Gain 

UPFs are energy-dense but nutrient-poor, often loaded with added sugars, unhealthy fats, and refined carbohydrates. These factors contribute to overeating, as their lack of fiber and protein leaves people feeling less satiated. Studies have shown that diets high in ultra-processed foods are strongly linked to weight gain and obesity.

2. Increased Risk of Chronic Diseases

A diet dominated by ultra-processed foods is associated with higher risks of several chronic illnesses, including:

Type 2 Diabetes:The high glycemic index of UPFs spikes blood sugar levels, increasing insulin resistance over time.

Cardiovascular Disease:The trans fats, excess sodium, and refined sugars in these foods elevate blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and inflammation—key risk factors for heart disease.

Cancer:Emerging research links the consumption of ultra-processed foods to a higher risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer, due to harmful additives and lack of protective nutrients. 

3. Poor Gut Health

UPFs disrupt gut microbiota—the community of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. Artificial additives and low fiber content can impair gut health, leading to issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammation, and a weakened immune system.

4. Mental Health Concerns

The consumption of ultra-processed foods has been linked to an increased risk of depression and anxiety. These foods can cause chronic inflammation and negatively impact brain health, while their addictive nature often leads to emotional eating and poor mental well-being.

Hidden Dangers in Ultra-Processed Foods

1. Addictive Properties 

UPFs are engineered to be hyper-palatable, combining sugar, fat, and salt in ways that trigger reward centers in the brain. This makes them addictive and challenging to moderate, leading to overconsumption and unhealthy eating habits.

2. Deceptive Labeling

Many ultra-processed foods are marketed as “healthy” or “natural,” despite containing high levels of sugar, sodium, and synthetic ingredients. Misleading labels can make it difficult for consumers to make informed dietary choices. 

3. Harmful Additives

Ultra-processed foods often contain a variety of additives that pose health risks:

Artificial Food Dyes: Commonly found in candies, sodas, and baked goods, artificial dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 have been linked to hyperactivity in children and potential carcinogenic effects.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): Used as a sweetener in sodas and snacks, HFCS contributes to obesity, fatty liver disease, and increased risk of diabetes due to its high fructose content.

Hydrogenated Oils:Found in margarine, baked goods, and fried foods, these trans fats raise LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and lower HDL (good cholesterol), significantly increasing the risk of heart disease.

Preservatives:Additives like sodium nitrite, used in processed meats, have been linked to cancer, while others, such as BHA and BHT, may disrupt hormonal balance.

Emulsifiers:Common in ice cream and salad dressings, emulsifiers like polysorbates and carrageenan can irritate the gut lining and negatively affect gut microbiota. These additives, designed to enhance shelf life, flavor, and texture, often do so at the expense of consumer health, highlighting the importance of scrutinizing ingredient lists. 

How to Reduce Ultra-Processed Food Consumption

1. Prioritize Whole Foods 

Opt for minimally processed, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health.

2. Read Labels Carefully

Learn to identify hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. Focus on products with short, recognizable ingredient lists.

3. Cook at Home

Preparing meals at home gives you full control over the ingredients and allows you to avoid the unnecessary additives found in UPFs. Batch cooking and meal prepping can help make this practice more convenient. Following meal plans like the Monthly Meal Plans can help introduce you to new recipes and a more balanced way of cooking.

4. Be Mindful of Marketing

Be skeptical of health claims on packaging. Research brands and ingredients to ensure you’re making informed decisions.

5. Gradually Transition

If UPFs are a significant part of your diet, make gradual changes rather than drastic overhauls. Start by replacing one ultra-processed food with a healthier alternative each week.

Conclusion

While ultra-processed foods may save time and cater to modern tastes, their health risks far outweigh their convenience. As a friendly advice from your chiropractor in Macomb MI, by understanding the dangers associated with these products and making conscious dietary choices, individuals can protect their health and well-being. Prioritizing whole, nutrient-dense foods and reducing reliance on UPFs is a powerful step toward a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
