That just says soybeans and palm oil are imported in and that’s bad.
Kinda unrelated, yeah?
Most of the soybean products (like tofu and tempeh) in the U.S. aren’t grown here, the study found. Up until recently, they were largely imported from India, where soybean production contributes to widespread deforestation and habitat loss. Soybean plantations also take up valuable land space that could be used to ease food insecurity in the country instead.
And the pollution and environmental impact from transporting soybeans hundreds of thousands of miles to the U.S. is its own environmental catastrophe.
Similarly, palm oil, which is often used as a vegan substitute for butter or lard, is mostly imported from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Nigeria. Local ecosystems there have been devastated by deforestation and loss of biodiversity as millions of hectares of forests are razed for palm oil production.
On top of its environmental impact, the palm oil industry has been the subject of numerous allegations of human rights violations. Child labor, rampant sexual abuse and rape, and exposure to hazardous pesticides without proper protective equipment aren’t uncommon.
“People prioritize the lives of livestock and domesticated farm animals over the lives of the people who grow palm oil or soybeans,” Trauger said. “Corporations love to market to people that eating this way will make a difference in the world, but it won’t.”
Who is innocent in Israel? Who is actively fighting their government?
Where’s the Israeli White Rose &tc?Because I don’t consider the average German during WW2 innocent, nor do I consider the average Israeli today. They are complacent in allowing their genocidal state to exist and commit its evils.
Seriously fuck Israel, the nation has no right to exist.
Or you could keep the car you have, and spend the money on something useful?
If you car still works, damn right you should be driving it for a while. Pointless consumerism for the sake of having something new is fucking idiotic.
You literally spoke about getting a second car, if the first car was so far gone that repairing it was too costly, why the fuck would you humour getting a second car?
I’ve driven many cars until they broke down, you don’t need to get some shiny new thing just because your current car is a bit old and the world would be far better off for it.
There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...
Does that matter? Would you value it more if it came from a organisation you had heard of like Fox?
There are millions of news organisations and independent journalists out there reporting on stories. Luckily the supply of news and information is not solely in the hands of ~20 large publications.
Instead of attacking the size or popularity of a news site, look at the content. I’ve quickly browsed the front page and this looks legit as any other small time source. Nothing seems to be fake news. It’s certainly left leaning, but it’s not like you’ll ever find a large left leaning newspaper so any left source is going to be a smaller operation.
Every source is biased, bias is not inherently a problem. Having a leftist perspective on news is not a problem.
What is a problem is fake news.
What is a problem is a handful of large news sites that dominate what news people get access to.
What that user has done is to muddy the waters by doubting the article not due to the quality of the information but due to lack of brand recognition. That is worthy of contention not kudos.
It serves no useful purpose other than to detract from the article at hand.
There has been an increased use of Chinese AI-generated content in recent months, attempting to influence and sow division in the U.S. and elsewhere on a range of topics including: the train derailment in Kentucky in November 2023, the Maui wildfires in August 2023, the disposal of Japanese nuclear wastewater, drug use in the U.S. as well as immigration policies and racial tensions in the country. There is little evidence these efforts have been successful in swaying opinion.
China doesnt get democracy do they? Peoples believes are already divided, you don’t need AI for that.
