Hocus pocus

I can’t focus

Can’t determine what is my locus.

Good questions to ponder when you are feeling expansive or baked out of your mind. But we are so fucking lost as to understanding the universe even if we have advanced significantly.

If you have ever tried running on uneven surfaces that are loaded with rocks and roots and ready-made to twist your ankles then you know that your brain somehow keeps you safe. But maybe savannah-evolved and savannah staying peoples are not so equipped. Inquiring minds want to know…

Robert, according to author of linked article the meat in diet leading to bigger brain is a dominant hypothesis but there is also the notion that cooking is linked.

Another major notion is that we have not stopped evolving. Thus what was best for our ancestors is not necessarily best for us. And then it is also true that we are not uniform. I…[Read more]

The answer to this issue is complex but here is an excellent article.

When my sister’s dog visits she can’t wait to survey my work area for food.

I call her Hoover. Jet black and porcine, slightly overweight million way mongrel, she produces a stertorous chorus as she hovers and hoovers picking off edibles in an orgasmic ritual.

I am guessing that the closer to wolves the greater the insistence on meat. I see dogs with a more varied diet than a lot of people.

No more natural or unnatural…okay…but one is sentient and the other is not. Being a product of artificial selection or even cloning oughtn’t deprive the subject of the dignity and rights if applicable of the counterparts who are natural.

You are correct about market forces but those forces are strongly influenced by Christian thinking that…[Read more]

Humans eating meat is natural. Nature is a bitch or bastard. But it is culture that created animal husbandry. The conditions in which our livestock EXIST until the inevitable moment of truth is not natural. It is akin to concentration camps with a final solution except that the “jews” of livestock reproduce so that the cycle will continue…[Read more]

Unseen i love cats and dogs. I am not questioning their benefit to our well-being. We cherish our pets. Rightly so. Some people do not even use the word pets. They call Fido and Garfield their friends. It would not occur to them to eat their friends. In fact if a neighbor killed their pet it would be an understandable sentiment if they wanted to…[Read more]

Spot on Robert.

The disconnect is blatant. It is funny how primitive and sustenance people seem to have some reverence or at least respect for the animals they kill to eat. And it is so odd to me because so many of us have pets or at least know others with pets and we brag about how special our kitty or dog is. Those pets are on a par with…[Read more]

Unseen, wish i had the answer. But i don’t.

I think there will be a great deal of resistance to begin. But culture can change in a heart beat. Lots of potential for lab grown meat to become widely accepted based upon factors aforementioned and of course the monkey factor. Exhibit A. The NBA…BAD HAIR IS IN!

Good article Reg.

That jibes with the research that suggests vegan diets are not good for wee lads.

Recent research shows that amyloid proteins that are overwhelming brains of persons stricken with alzheimer’s are present in our muscles as we age and lose strength. Those same proteins that cause young Atlas to become wimpy old men are…[Read more]

JACKPOT!

The online sales are in the form of boxes that include a variety of different meats, sizes and costs. One sale this week is a small box which includes eight pork chops, two New York strip steaks, 12 ounces of bacon, 1.5 pounds of smoked sausage, 2 pounds of ground beef and 2 pounds of pork sausage. Customers can purchase the box for…[Read more]

Unseen, initially the choices of cuts of meat will be limited. I read sausages and ham will be available quickly but also that beef is the most profitable so you can anticipate various cuts not taking long. It may no longer be the case that the discriminating purchaser selects the best cut because the meat and its percentage and type of fat will…[Read more]

After a quick perusal of articles in re attitudes towards trying cultured meat it seems that it is distinctly negative. Gen Z is against it by and large. Some of the reasons are it is not normal or natural. And i have to assume that religious especially orthodox will be against it. But just like GMO it will gradually gain acceptance if the taste…[Read more]

Here is a quick overview of lab grown meat.

The weird vegan thing is when it becomes like a religion. And for me that is refusing honey. I am not sure if coffee borne of assholes is also a dietary prohibition.

Yeah i am not sure about North America but certainly in the tropics and Africa there were new diseases like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever etc.

i confused knew and new. Should have known better but being tired takes its toll.

I take b12 but that is it. I note that many great athletes have gone vegan although they may take supps for specific deficiencies in their diets. And i am fairly confident that the weight of authority is that vegans and vegetarians live longer and get diseases less…[Read more]
