is it just my eating disorder or should the agricultural society of america not have a say in how many calories the average person ought to eat per day?

Random shortened ramble that my brain went on cause I was thinking about my belief of never wasting any chicken / poultry specifically (its not only because of this reason) BUT-
The way a lot of people think about world hunger and upcoming food crisis of 2050 is largely often missing that not all food is created equal and not all food is equally necessary
And that rather than just calories, PROTEIN is needed which is why you cant solve it with just mass producing bread or other high calorie carbs and fat
And why Chickens will save humanity from the food crisis as their eggs and meat both provide that essential protein

Today, a rather predictable statement came from Russia – a statement that they are finally canceling the grain export initiative. But in fact, this is not the decision they made today.
Russia began deliberately aggravating the food crisis back in September, when it blocked the movement of ships with our food. From September to today, 176 vessels have already accumulated in the grain corridor, which cannot follow their route. Some grain carriers have been waiting for more than three weeks. Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Bangladesh, Vietnam, others countries – very different countries, from different parts of the world... But they can all be equally destabilized by this Russian decision to block exports.
Why a handful of people somewhere in the Kremlin can decide whether people in Egypt or Bangladesh will have food on their tables? A strong international response is needed now. Both at the UN level and at other levels. In particular, at the level of the G20.
Ukraine has been and can continue to be one of the guarantors of global food security. Russian terror and blackmail must lose. Humanity must win. I thank everyone who is fighting with us to restore peace and stability to international relations!
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 29.10.2022

at work yesterday i checked out someone wearing a hoodie that had the Palestine watermelon logo on it like
Tumblr media
and towards the end of the transaction i was like “i love your hoodie btw that’s really sick!”
and they were like “thanks! i wore it to work and everyone was just like ‘oh i love watermelon’ so i didn’t really have to explain it. Because i work with [field im not comfortable posting online bc its not my place]”
And i just kinda nodded and went “oh, yeah, so they aren’t really gonna get it”
And they were like “yeah which is kind of nice but like..”
And like …. Not once during this entire transaction were either of us comfortable to say Palestine out loud. I was standing next to my manager, but I doubt he would have given a shit - i have a sticker on my water bottle that says QUEERS FOR PALESTINE. I was more worried about the other ten customers in the store behind them (one of which had just proudly and rudely informed me that he had a gun on him!!!!!!)
Not only that, my customer could have lost their job for explaining that to the people they work with. And it didn’t strike me until I was sitting in my car on lunch later that we live in a time and place where there is Actual Literal Genocide happening in the world and we have to communicate about it and advocate for it in code and allusions to keep ourselves safe thousands of miles away from it in America. This is absolutely sickening. The fact that I seemed to make this person’s day by just recognizing what they stood for and being kind about it. The fact that it made my day seeing someone else in the wild wearing a coded symbol that shows support for Palestine.
Anyway I don’t really have a message in the post other than fuck Israel and fuck America and fuck everyone else in the world making it unsafe to advocate for the men, women and children (and animals!!) being senselessly murdered literally for just existing.

THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS STILL GOING ON!!!!! READ BELOW
Tumblr media
Hundred of tons of food supplies are still blocked in ukrainian ports.
Russian gas still brings billiards to russian economy.
Ukranian people are still dying from russian shelings and bombings.
____________________________________
If you are european - this all should still mater to you. The winter will come, the price on gas will rise or russia could block it all together.
If you are not from Europe - its still matters to you, especialy because Ukraine is one of the world largest food exporter. War in Ukraine means millions of people around the world will be affected by shortage of food supplies.
____________________________________
If you are european - talk about this on any level you can:
-Now is the best time to join eco activists and demand urgent development for using alternative energy sources. Fossil fuel from Russia brings only death to ukrainians, fossil fuel from Saudi Arabia will bring only death (read about war in Yemen). Any fossil fuel will bring death. It is time to change it.
-Talk to your representatives, to your governments - demand help for Ukraine. Clearly, we need weapons to win, any other case - Third World War in Europe.
-If you are not fan of military aid - solidarize with Ukrainians, with refuges, with victims, with different social groups in Ukraine. Talk about the war, talk about Ukraine, talk about russian imperialism. If your political views prevent you to stand with NATO and EU position on Ukraine - I understand, than criticize russian warmongering, educate yourself and others on russian imperialism and despotism of putin.

Tkachuk explains how Russia is continuing to prevent grain from leaving Ukraine. The July deal established a so-called “humanitarian corridor” in the Black Sea for the shipment of grain — with ships searched in Istanbul by Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, and UN inspectors. The point of inspections is, apparently, to search for “unauthorised cargoes and personnel on board vessels inbound to or outbound from the Ukrainian ports”.
From the outset, Ukraine has complained about Russian inspections of their ships: often ships are waiting “for over a month”, according to the Ukrainian Information Ministry in December. Tkachuk says this is deliberate. “The ports are working; the grain is going on to the ships; we are ready to work. But there are more than 90 grain ships waiting in line in the Bosporus. Four months ago, I was Deputy Head of the port in Chornomorsk [south of Odesa]. I know how this works. They are acting as a break to sabotage the grain deliveries.”
He continues: “The Russians are saying that there are mines in the water — but there are no mines in this corridor. Also, under the terms of the deal, they have the right to inspect a ship before it goes. And they are doing this incredibly slowly. The Turkish inspectors can inspect a ship in three hours — it takes the Russians three days for some reason.”
He is not alone in this view. A few days later, I meet with Oleksiy Goncharenko, MP for the Northwest Odesa region. “The Russians are doing the inspection slowly,” he tells me. “They need a rest, they need to smoke, then a coffee. Then they are ill, and a million other excuses to delay the process. Generally, we have three or four ships going through inspections per day, but during the two days in which Russia wasn’t in the deal, that number was 20 ships.”
Goncharenko believes this contains a vital lesson for the international community. “It was clear from the first day that Russia would do everything it could to kill the deal; it was looking for any excuse. From the beginning, the Russians never wanted it. They want chaos and inflation; they want the Black Sea to remain closed. So when we attacked their fleet in Sevastopol, they obviously jumped at the opportunity to back out. But it was interesting because it didn’t work. They made a huge song and dance about leaving; [Turkish President] Erdogan said, ‘fine then’ and they came back in just over 48 hours.” He concludes. “This is really important because it shows the world how to deal with Russia.”

Trying not to be salty about being an indigenous person that's currently struggling very hard to afford food during a time when many white people will be stuffing themselves full. If you can help us not go to bed hungry another night- v:@ kittyzibby
