Step 1: Terminally ill people should have the opportunity to end their suffering on a completely voluntary basis.
Step 2: See step 1, but terminally ill patients cost society a lot of money.
Step 3: Yes, we pay for your treatment, but there are easier ways to end your suffering.
Step 4: We don't pay for your treatment, but there is an alternative.
Step 5: Can you please finally kill yourself? You are a burden to society!
Step 6: We will kill you.

UK is now at step 1, Canada somewhere between 3 and 4. We'll see how far they go.

Organic dairy should be safe for now, see end of the article: https://off-guardian.org/2024/11/28/major-dairy-supplier-to-trial-potentially-toxic-low-emission-cow-feed/

Of course, we can never know whether it won't simply be ignored.

@natureman said in What do you guys think of Trump now that he won:

@S-Holmes you guys are too funny. Trump is a puppet since before he could think. This position today is his birthright probably.

I can't believe how many people still think that politics is a real thing......

I think that was the objective of this election outcome. To convince conservatives, "right-wingers" etc. that representative "democracy" is still working and that you can change politics with a sign on a ballot.

@the_black_jew said in Peaty gift ideas for the upcoming holidays:

@Luke that looks good

When you search for it on the internet you always find recipes with cookies, but I myself have never eaten them with cookies, but with thin plates that have roughly the consistency of a host or communion bread you would get in church. Just chocolate, coconut oil, sugar and these plates.

My grandma used to make these for christmas (with dark chocolate and coconut oil): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_slice

I didn't know anything about "peaty" back then of course.

If somebody is interested in health/nutrition topics, the book "Heal your metabolism" by Kate Deering should be a good gift.

@Lizb said in How to reach Haidut?:

@Lloyd you can send a private message on this forum

I don't know if he visits this forum. The user with that name is a bot that automatically creates a thread when the real haidut posts something on his blog. I don't think that account has ever posted something apart from the original post in a new thread.

I had this experience twice in my life, about ten years ago. I was at a kind of barbecue at a sports club and they didn't have normal barbecues with charcoal, but these stupid things where you pour oil on and fry the meat in it. I noticed they use sunflower oil and lots of it. Ate a steak anyway because I didn't want to be a dick. Don't remember if I also ate potato salad, because they are usually made with sunflower oil as well.

On both occasions I got sick the next day.

So I guess people who usually avoid seed oils are more susceptible when they get a load. After all, other people use seed oils every day and aren't sick every single day. It may be a shock for the system if you aren't used to it.
