  1. The Role of Food Quality in a Calorie Surplus 🥦

    🟩 A surplus should support muscle, not just weight gain

    🟩 Nutrient-dense foods improve recovery

    🟩 Poor food quality can increase unnecessary fat gain

    🟩 Digestion matters when eating more food

  2. @MissGayle IMO in 4th world country Czech Republic, EU🇪🇺, onions are practically unavailable. Majority of them is moldy (incl. between the peels something which looks like Aspergillus niger) or rotten, I don't want to risk cancer from mold toxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin. In 3rd world developing dictatorship Cambodia the situation was the same except spring onions were not rotten.

    I already sent 2 complaints to the Czech state food quality inspectorate. They wrote they went to both supermarkets and in #1 the amount of moldy and rotten pieces was within EU🇪🇺 standards (IMO EU🇪🇺 standards for feeding people with carcinogenic decomposing compost), which I disagree with. In #2 they said they didn't find the problem (rotten spring onion) but they found unrelated decomposing pumpkins for which they "initiated official misdemeanor procedure" or something like that, but didn't write whether they actually fined the seller.

    There is no way to actually submit photographs as evidence, they always go there and do their own official sample, so IMO it's like playing an ineffective whackamole with rotten onions.

    The difference to Cambodia is that there, sole proprietorships pay 0% taxes below $62 500 revenue per year and 2.73% in the next tier.

    I am fine if a state says "pay less taxes, we won't check quality of vegetables, you have to haggle it yourself using market mechanisms".

    But to pay developed country taxes and get developing country food quality, in that case I feel

    s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech regime.

    Recently I managed to find 1 good onion in the supermarket so I hope in the future luck will smile at me again and I won't live in malnutrition in an allegedly developed country.

  3. This video of kids rapping about food quality is clever and surprisingly insightful — a fun entry point to talk about nutrition, sourcing, and healthy choices with young people. What’s one thing you’d want kids to know about the food they eat?

  5. That's true. That's because the EU has STRICTER REGULATION of the food industry. They have BIG GOV'T making their food better.

    If you want that, fine, but that't the exact opposite of everything the Republican party has been fighting for for about a century now.

  6. CW: Seafood

    Had been enjoying frozen whiting fillets for a few months.

    Little smell, fine taste, fine texture.

    Then I got this bag.
    Strong smell out of the bag, slimey texture, unpleasant taste.

    They're much bigger fillets and have much more colour on the cut side than previous bags.

    Basically catfood. But I don't have a cat. Neighbours do though.

  7. Our soils are often exhausted, leading to lower crop yields, degraded food quality and fallow land. The solution is to plant more crops. Counterintuitive as that may seem, planting more crops, can replenish nutrients in the soil through a process called regenerative agriculture — growing non-cash crops during the off-season provides more organic material that returns to the soil, completing the circle of life. #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #FoodQuality themessenger.com/opinion/how-t

  8. A team of #researchers at the #IstitutoItalianoDiTecnologia ( #IIT - #Italian Institute of #Technology ) has #created a totally #edible & #rechargeable #battery - starting from materials that are normally consumed as part of our daily diet. The #ProofOfConcept #BatteryCell has been described in a paper, recently published in the #AdvancedMaterials journal. The possible applications are in #health diagnostics, #FoodQuality #monitoring & edible soft #robotics .

    It’s been happening for most of 20th C also. The horrific consequences of corporate capture and industrialisation of #agriculture were spelled out in stark detail and with great prescience by #WendellBerry in his 1977 seminal work, ‘The Unsettling of America’.

    A wonderful book, which makes for very sad reading today. #LostCulture #ruralCrisis #BiidiversityCrisis
