It's nice to read a hopeful essay about the future of #PlantBasedMeat. 🌱 And the author is right: It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I used to like #ManifoldMarkets. At first, you played for a currency they called Mana, and you could donate your Mana for real money for a charity. After a while, they determined to split this up in Mana and Prize money, and only prize money could be donated. Now, there's another change. All Prize money I had collected so far is gone, and another currency called Sweepcash replaces this, but can only be used by residents of some American states. So gone are the $36 I had saved up for charity! 😡

Lidl introduceert ook als eerste Nederlandse supermarkt gehakt dat deels dierlijk en deels plantaardig is. Deze gehaktmix bestaat voor 60% uit rundergehakt en voor 40% uit erwteneiwit en smaakt hetzelfde als 100% rundvleesgehakt. Lidl wil het hiermee voor de vleesliefhebber gemakkelijk maken om gehakt te kiezen met een lagere milieu-impact. Ook dit product is een stuk goedkoper dan het reguliere gehakt.

I just rewatched Beth Barnes's TedX talk about effective charitable giving. She summarizes in a single minute what humanity could all achieve by simply donating 10% of our income to effective causes. It's so inspiring, tears welled up in my eyes, again. If you have 60 seconds to spare, please give this a watch.
