  1. Author Bruce Friedrich Talks About Meat and the Next Agricultural Revolution

    youtu.be/mQ5vu15V28o?si=tcbw2b

    This webinar, staged by Centre for Inquiry Canada on June 7, 2026, was given by author Bruce Friedrich. The founder and president of the Good Food Institute, Friedrich discussed themes from his new book: “Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity’s Favourite Food―and Our Future”.

    He argued that unless the world leans into alternative meats, conventional meat consumption will continue to rise, with all of its attendant external costs, such as hunger and malnutrition, climate change and biodiversity loss, AMR and pandemic risk.

  3. A spoonful of sugar: how South Africa’s weigh-and-pay shops are tackling ‘poverty tax’ head on
    By Julie Bourdin

    Run by a social enterprise, the six shops operate from shipping containers across Johannesburg’s Alexandra township and sell food and household goods by weight in small, affordable amounts

  4. RE: ieji.de/@NourGazas/11709419629

    I’m sharing this again because I don’t know what else to do. 💔

    These are the clothes my children are wearing. They are torn, worn out, and we have no money to replace them.

    I’m trying to raise $100 for basic clothes for my six children. I will buy the cheapest things I can find—nothing fancy, just something clean and whole for them to wear.

    Please, if you can help with even $5, you would be helping a child replace torn clothes with something decent.

    I’m not asking for much. I’m just asking for a little dignity for my children. 🙏💔🇵🇸

  5. @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.

  9. There is critically low access to #water in Gaza and catastrophic #hunger is affecting a significant portion of the population, while there are only two stabilisation centres for severely malnourished children, UN agencies warn.
