  1. Substituting half of current #meat supply in NZ with #soy had a positive impact on #nutrition but didn't fill all existing nutrient deficits. Iron & zinc #fortification should be prioritised; other #micronutrients could address existing dietary shortfalls: doi.org/10.1080/03036758.2024.

  2. Still figuring this place out but ----
    Hello I'm Meat/Twos/ Several other names - 28 He/it

    I play, run, write LRPs - Currently writing ones that play with the senses and themes of Sacrifice and another about Cannibalism :3

    I adore Vampire the Masquerade, Horror movies, and Pokemon

    My goal this year is to put my writings and art out into the world more consistently but also to watch more movies and read more books so I'm open to suggestions

    I might start uploading my life drawing sketches here to start then move onto character stuff and my writings

  5. Late last year, a concerning research paper addressed the presence of MANY types of mycotoxins found in and on meat (fungal toxins).

    More and more people are avoiding the hazards of eating animals products, so the animal exploitation industry wanted to hit back via big scary headlines it could fund and recycle.

    Cue current disproportionate coverage parroting that manufactured plant-based meals were recently found to have mycotoxins in them. Read past the headlines and the journalist, if responsible and not mere A.I. will give the real context: Levels were found to be BELOW THE EU SAFETY THRESHOLD.

    It is simply an animal exploitation industry tactic to scare people away from kinder eating, to ensure continuation of grotesque profits in their greasy palms.

    To promote balanced critical thinking about presence of mycotoxins across ALL foods, one needs more context, so here is the paper I mentioned. There are many, actually.

    I will leave you to weigh up the risk percentages yourself, but to be blunt, plant foods:
    - are not corpses which had assholes oozing e-coli, salmonella etc.
    -Plants can't contain imperceptible diseased cancer tumours now and then, which industry failed to remove etc:

  6. Meat Grindr: Misogyny isn't the only systemic failure online. Pressure and coercion violate the Principle of Agency. We move from Corrupted Code (Force) to Clean Code (Power).

    Scenario: A newly single man on Grindr is pressured to meet up immediately without safety checks. The messager replies:

    ❌ Corrupted Code (Force):
    "Stop making excuses. If you're serious, you'd come over now. Don't waste my time." (Coercive; ignores safety and agency.)

    ✅ Clean Code (Power):
    "I understand you need to take your time. Your safety is most important. Let's do a quick video chat first, or we can chat more until you feel ready." (Affirms boundary; prioritizes well-being.)

    The difference? The second message respects pace and safety. What boundary can you clearly state today?

  10. A farmer from New South Wales recently visited Japan and discovered that Australian #meat was being sold in Tokyo for less than it costs in major Australian supermarkets. Analysts argue that direct comparisons can be "misleading" without accounting for factors such as global import competition, differences in meat cuts, and exchange rate fluctuations. Although #Coles and #Woolworths have denied allegations of price gouging, the #ACCC is set to release an interim report on its inquiry into supermarkets by August.

  13. Meat-Stinking Giant Flower Has A Delectable Aroma For Pollinators

    The Titan Arum, more commonly known as the ‘Corpse Flower’ is famous for its repulsive meat smell. Designed to repel humans, in contrast pollinators find the putrid aromas irresistible in the plant’s native environment. The Corpse Flower Titan Arum lives deep inside of Sumatra’s imperilled rainforests. endangered by palm oil and mining deforestation. Now researchers have gained greater insight into how the plant warms itself up before blooming – known as thermogenesis and have discovered a new compound called ‘putrescine’ which gives the plant its strong aroma.

    The Titan Arum, more commonly known as the ‘Corpse Flower’, is famous for its repulsive meat smell. While designed to repel humans, this putrid aroma irresistibly attracts pollinators in its native environment—the imperilled rainforests of Sumatra, now under threat from palm oil plantations and mining activities. Researchers have recently uncovered how the plant generates heat before blooming, a process known as thermogenesis, and have identified a new compound called ‘putrescine’, which contributes to its potent stench.

    A study led by G. Eric Schaller, Professor of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College, explored the genetic and biological mechanisms behind the Titan Arum’s remarkable heating and scent production. The research relied on tissue samples from ‘Morphy’, Dartmouth’s 21-year-old Corpse Flower, to analyse RNA sequences. This allowed scientists to pinpoint which genes are active during the phases of heating and scent release.

    The Titan Arum is not a single flower but a cluster of tiny flowers hidden within a massive central stalk, known as the spadix, which can reach up to 12 feet in height. It blooms rarely—typically once every 5 to 7 years—and only for a brief period. “The blooms are rare and also short-lived, so we only get a small window to study these phenomena,” Schaller explains.

    During blooming, the spadix heats up, raising its temperature by as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit above the surrounding air. This thermogenic phase coincides with the emission of its signature scent, a mixture of sulphur-based compounds designed to attract flies and carrion beetles, which play a vital role in the plant’s pollination.

    The RNA analysis revealed that genes associated with alternative oxidases—plant equivalents of animal uncoupling proteins—are highly active during the heating phase, especially in the spadix’s appendix. Additionally, genes involved in sulphur transport and metabolism were expressed, driving the production of the odour. Among these compounds, researchers identified putrescine, an organic chemical not previously recognised as part of the Corpse Flower’s scent profile.

    This research sheds light on the evolutionary adaptations of the Titan Arum while highlighting the urgent need to conserve its natural habitat. Protecting the rainforests of Sumatra from deforestation caused by palm oil cultivation and mining is critical for the survival of this extraordinary species. By choosing to #BoycottPalmOil and supporting campaigns such as #Boycott4Wildlife every time you shop, individuals can help safeguard the delicate ecosystems these rare flowers depend on, ensuring they continue to thrive for generations to come.
