#Food crisis

[atticdemosdyke]

I just found this brilliant article from hrw about the food crisis which is very much STILL HAPPENING in gaza, in case anyone forgot. Read it. Read others. Spread the word. We cannot stop talking about this.

Theory: The City's Food Crisis

So I noticed a strange correlation between age and height in Project Moon's games. Which is very unusual given that almost all the characters are adults who've presumably finished growing. Of course, what I noticed intuitively would really need hard proof to back it up, so I made my partner enter the data for every character in Library of Ruina (barring those of unknown height, age, or gender). He then made these charts which I found very sexy of him.

This is a pretty strong correlation between age and height, the exact opposite of the way it tends to be IRL in Asian countries. Food availability/quality tends to be the largest limiting factor on height, and historically, that's been pretty bad in East Asia. That's why over the 20th century, average height in Korea shot up 10% for men and 15% for women (compared to 3.5% for both in the United States).

I believe this is evidence of a food crisis occurring in the City. If I wanted to look into it further, I could break it down by decades or by nest vs backstreets, but I think this is a good example of PM's insanely detailed worldbuilding. IIRC, they mentioned a need for vast amounts of food in Yi Sang's chapter, and here's the material effects of that shortage.

Put your clothes back on

I was actually gonna explain to you how the beige aesthetic isn’t a millennial/genz preference for soothing colours and neutral toned dressing, its actually a deviantly fed style choice to the general public so that when eventually you throw out that overpriced Stanley, the junkyard doesn’t look as concerning as it does with multicoloured objects. Every item is meant to look beige/neutral so that THE TRASH can look *aesthetic* to the rich overlords

is it just my eating disorder or should the agricultural society of america not have a say in how many calories the average person ought to eat per day?

Random shortened ramble that my brain went on cause I was thinking about my belief of never wasting any chicken / poultry specifically (its not only because of this reason) BUT-

The way a lot of people think about world hunger and upcoming food crisis of 2050 is largely often missing that not all food is created equal and not all food is equally necessary

And that rather than just calories, PROTEIN is needed which is why you cant solve it with just mass producing bread or other high calorie carbs and fat

And why Chickens will save humanity from the food crisis as their eggs and meat both provide that essential protein

at work yesterday i checked out someone wearing a hoodie that had the Palestine watermelon logo on it like

and towards the end of the transaction i was like “i love your hoodie btw that’s really sick!”

and they were like “thanks! i wore it to work and everyone was just like ‘oh i love watermelon’ so i didn’t really have to explain it. Because i work with [field im not comfortable posting online bc its not my place]”

And i just kinda nodded and went “oh, yeah, so they aren’t really gonna get it”

And they were like “yeah which is kind of nice but like..”

And like …. Not once during this entire transaction were either of us comfortable to say Palestine out loud. I was standing next to my manager, but I doubt he would have given a shit - i have a sticker on my water bottle that says QUEERS FOR PALESTINE. I was more worried about the other ten customers in the store behind them (one of which had just proudly and rudely informed me that he had a gun on him!!!!!!)

Not only that, my customer could have lost their job for explaining that to the people they work with. And it didn’t strike me until I was sitting in my car on lunch later that we live in a time and place where there is Actual Literal Genocide happening in the world and we have to communicate about it and advocate for it in code and allusions to keep ourselves safe thousands of miles away from it in America. This is absolutely sickening. The fact that I seemed to make this person’s day by just recognizing what they stood for and being kind about it. The fact that it made my day seeing someone else in the wild wearing a coded symbol that shows support for Palestine.

Anyway I don’t really have a message in the post other than fuck Israel and fuck America and fuck everyone else in the world making it unsafe to advocate for the men, women and children (and animals!!) being senselessly murdered literally for just existing.
