Es ist lieb, dass ihr mir ermutigende Nachrichten schickt, aber mindestens 97,32% von euch überschätzen meine Technik-Kompetenz stark!
Weitere 2,54% überschätzen sie leicht.
Ich habe von der Technik keine Ahnung und will im Übrigen nur nicht, dass jemand liest, welche Haarpflegetipps und Rezepte ich mit meinen Schwestern bespreche ehe Market Rollout ist. In der Soße meiner Mama steckt Millionenpotential 💰und ich krieg 16,66% Prozent wenn #BigFood das Buyout macht. #TradeSecrets🤫

The relationship between #BigTobacco, #Bigfood and the #HealthcareIndustry:
Ultra-processed foods are designed to make us addicted, so they can sell more. We get sick because of low quality food that in its turn, provides the booming healthcare industry with a steady stream of ever higher profits. ☠️
Are you angry yet?

Great article on the state of organic certifiers (tl;dr .. they aren't all equal).
BTW .. OrganicEye is a wonderful organization. From their website .."We monitor the increasingly corrupt relationship between corporate agribusiness and government regulators that has eroded the working definition of organics."

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm just wondering whether industrially-produced, edible substances, #ultraprocessedfood, has anything to do with this. #bigfood makes billions marketing 'food' that makes everybody who lives off it sick - obese & malnourished. For sure they have powerful lobbying to governments.

@karelbrits Goeie samenvatting van wat er momenteel mis is in de politieke (!) economie. Iedere ‘pro kapitalisme’ kiezer zou dit moeten zien. Maar zelf kan je er ook wat mee: steun kleine (MKB) ondernemingen, zowel door niet te kopen bij #bigTech #bigAgro #bigFood #bigPharma en #bigFinance, als er niet voor te gaan werken.

Are you thinking about creating a #FoodForest here in #NewZealand? Here are the steps you need to take to successfully plan and grow your own #EdibleForestGarden.
by Dana at Piwakawaka Valley Homestead
"Reasons to use Permaculture principals to design your Food Forest
- Permaculture is a fantastic way to reduce your workload, particularly on lifestyle blocks.
- Permaculture design reduces workload by mimicking natural systems, natural systems maintain themselves, so that you don’t have to.
- Permaculture can save money. Successful permaculture properties operate as a closed loop, requiring few products to be bought in to maintain it. Ideally all your fertility will be made or grown on site.
- To provide resilience from natural disasters. Permaculture landscapes mitigate against flood events, resist the effects of drought, provide food security, enhance habitat for animals /birds / insects, process their own waste (turning it into a valuable resource), and provide can even fuel in winter if you have enough space to add a woodlot.
- Reduce exposure to chemicals in the environment. Permaculture and organics go hand in hand – an organically managed property will be free from the potential harmful effects of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.

10 incredible #UrbanFoodForests from around the world
"If we take a moment to observe nature we realize that a woodland doesn’t require artificial interventions to remain flourishing." – Picasso Food Forest
Climate Society
14th June 2022"Everywhere around the world cities are facing the challenge of providing their growing population with fresh, local food. Instead of buying food cultivated in monocultures hundreds of miles away from home, both farmers as well as engaged citizens are turning to a radically different approach. They are transforming school yards, parking lots and even boats into edible food forests.
"Food forests are the complete opposite of our industrial agricultural model. Instead of large-scale monocrops covered in harmful pesticides, food forests are diverse ecosystems, mimicking natural forests. The different layers of a food forest, ranging from tall fruit and nut trees to fruit bearing shrubs and bushes, vines, roots and other ground-hugging plants, offer a variety of fresh, local, organic produce.
"Especially for city dwellers, these urban food forests provide a huge opportunity. Rather than depending on the heavily industrialized food system, it enables people in cities to gain access to healthy and sustainable nutrition. In addition, by actively participating in taking care of a food forest, the connection to both nature and community gets an instant boost.
"These ten inspiring examples of food forests prove that it is possible to provide inhabitants of urban areas with food that is good for both people and planet."

It's this kind of thing that means that as a household we are moving away from buying #food produced in an industrial system as much as we can. It's presently difficult to either grow all your own food, barter for it, or source from smaller producers, but we're trying. Cost is a major factor.
If I can get all our vegetable beds in on flat ground before Spring, we'll be in a place to not have to buy much at all come Summer.
The post-WW2 industrialisation of food production is a scourge. We talk a lot about #enshittification here on Mastodon; this is the enshittification of food.

#Lead-tainted #applesauce pouches sailed through gaps in #US #FoodSafety system
Hundreds of American children were poisoned last year. Records show how, time and again, the contamination went unnoticed across borders.
by Will FitzgibbonandChristina Jewett
February 27, 2024"Cinnamon-flavored applesauce pouches sold in grocery and dollar stores last year poisoned hundreds of American children with extremely high doses of lead, leaving anxious parents to watch for signs of brain damage, developmental delays and seizures.
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, citing Ecuadorian investigators, said a spice grinder was likely responsible for the contamination and said the quick recall of three million applesauce pouches protected the food supply.
"But hundreds of pages of documents obtained by The Examination, in collaborations with The New York Times and El Universo, along with interviews with government and company officials in multiple countries, show that in the weeks and months before the recall, the tainted applesauce sailed through a series of checkpoints in a food safety system meant to protect American consumers.
"The documents and interviews offer the clearest accounting to date of the most widespread toxic exposure in food marketed to young children in decades. Children in 44 states ate the tainted applesauce, some of which contained lead at extraordinarily high levels.
"Time and again, the tainted #cinnamon went untested and undiscovered, the result of an overstretched FDA and a food safety law that gives companies, at home and abroad, wide latitude on what toxins to look for and whether to test.
"'It’s amazing in a bad sense what a catastrophic failure this was,' said Neal Fortin, director of the Institute for Food Laws and Regulations at Michigan State University. 'Largely, the food supply regulatory system is based on an honor system.'
"The cinnamon originated in #SriLanka and was shipped to #Ecuador, where it was ground into a powder. It was probably there, the FDA has said, that the cinnamon was likely contaminated with #LeadChromate, a powder that is sometimes illegally used to tint or bulk up spices.
"The ground cinnamon was then sold, bagged and sold again to a company called #Austrofood, which blended it into applesauce and shipped pouches to the United States. It was sold under the brand name #WanaBana and various generic store labels.
"Austrofood never tested the cinnamon or its tainted applesauce before shipping it to the United States. The company said it relied on a certificate from a supplier saying the cinnamon was virtually lead free, records show. In a statement, the supplier, Negasmart, did not discuss that certification but said it had complied with all regulations and quality standards.
"The FDA can inspect overseas food companies that ship to the United States, but even as food imports soared to record levels in 2022, international inspections fell far short of targets set by law.
"American inspectors had not visited Austrofood in five years, records show.
"'Companies have the responsibility to take steps to assure that the products they manufacture are not contaminated with unsafe levels of heavy metals,' Jim Jones, the top FDA food official, said in a statement. 'The agency’s job is to help the industry comply and hold those who evade these requirements accountable, as appropriate.'
"The FDA says it has no authority to investigate far down the international supply chain. Records show that the Ecuadorian government had the authority but not the capacity. Ecuadorian regulators had never before tested cinnamon for toxins and, when the FDA called looking for help, nearly half of the government’s lab equipment was out of service, said Daniel Sánchez, the head of Ecuador’s food safety agency.
"Private safety audits commissioned by American importers are supposed to provide another layer of protection. But audits typically look only for the hazards that the importers themselves have identified.
"None of the importers would say whether they considered lead a risk or tested for it and it is unclear what, if any, steps they took. But none blocked the applesauce. Records show one auditor gave the applesauce maker an A+ safety rating in December, as American children were being poisoned.
"The FDA has the power to test food arriving at the border. There is no indication that anyone tested the applesauce when it arrived at ports in Miami and Baltimore. Inspectors conduct about half as many such tests as they did a decade ago.
"The FDA said it planned to analyze the incident and whether it needs to seek new powers from Congress to prevent future outbreaks."

A little digging shows that the #oligarchs continue to live a life of luxury in London, buying holiday homes in Thailand and freely travelling between the two in their private jets.
Meanwhile Russia continues to do big exports to the West (gemstones & precious metals) and big Western companies still operate in Russia (#Unilever, #Nestlé, #Auchun, #leroymerlin, etc.)
WTAF?

"Barbados fights Big Sugar for the survival of its people -The legacy of colonialism, modern-day conveniences and a diet high in fat and sugar have bequeathed the island a diabetes and high-blood pressure pandemic. But can health plans win out over corporate interests?
"Barbados, like other small island developing states, is fighting for its people’s survival. On this beautiful island, people wander daily into danger, swinging two-litre flasks of sugary drinks such as Coca-Cola as they step out of their cars, buying local fast food from the back of a van for lunch and queueing at Kentucky Fried Chicken or the local chain Chefette in the evening. The blessings of the modern convenience world have been visited upon small islands, with the result that more than half their people are dying prematurely from heart and lung conditions, cancer, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases.
...
Blame is being laid at the door of the food industry. The world’s 57 small island developing states, or SIDS, as the UN collectively calls them, have particular vulnerabilities. They cannot grow enough fresh food for their populations and, as the climate crisis worsens, water is scarcer and storms wipe out entire fields of crops every year. So they are reliant on importing their food: for some islands as much as 90% of it. And much of what they import is ultra-processed food, high in calories with very little nutritional value."#Barbados #Islands #IslandStates #BigFood #BigSugar #Capitalism #ProcessedFoods #Colonialism #Obesity #Diabetes #HeartDisease #HighBloodPressure #WHO #UN #UltraProcessedFood
