I think bombs, or maybe chemical warfare would be worse.

Neocolonialism is much worse in my opinion because its impacts are not out right visible.

are you sure that that’s not what you wrote? It looks bad, isn’t it?

poppies and bluets (cornflowers?), i remember reading, used to grow everywhere because they weren’t disturbing farmers till glyphosate entered the picture and started killing everthing but the crop

C. cyanus is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly by over-use of herbicides.

Centaurea cyanus is considered a noxious weed in arable crops, especially cereals and rapeseed. In winter wheat, one plant per m2 can cause a yield loss of up to 30 kg / ha. Centaurea cyanus produces around 800 seed per plant, which are either shed shortly before the harvest of cereals, or they are threshed together with the cereal grains, contributing to the further spread of the species by the harvesting machinery and contaminated seed. The occurrence of Centaurea cyanus strongly decreased during the last decades due to improved seed cleaning, more intensive nitrogen fertilization and herbicide use. However, Centaurea cyanus has become more common in cropland due to an increase in crop rotations dominated by winter cereals and rapeseed and the use of more selective herbicides with a low effectiveness against Centaurea cyanus. In addition, the emergence of resistance against the herbicide class of sulfonylureas has been reported recently. Due to its strong roots, Centaurea cyanus is difficult to control mechanically in spring.

you should go convince people in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran.

“oh! This is much better than being exploited by neocolonialism. Consider yourselves lucky.”

define “modern society”

many people around the world still use carts outside. Because of environmental/geographical conditions or personal choice or as work tools

I liked the linked site, i will be checking regularly through rss, which is apparently founded by the writer of the article from Belgium, now living in Barcelona. Unless he travelled a little that’s a very limited frame of reference. (Same goes for the rest of the team

above image was a cheeky reminder of that.

have you heard of the book Animal Liberation by Peter Singer?

Maybe that will go away if they find a wide selection of vegetarian foods they like, but again I doubt that’s the case for everyone, and it definitely won’t overwrite any childhood memories of favorite foods/meals.

i too miss some meals from my childhood (hello grandma), but i don’t “crave” for them.

you don’t need to “overwrite childhood memories” (though it’s exactly what you do every time you remember), if your reasons to become vegetarian/vegan are well thought through and through. Your responsibility is not to please every craving but to avoid unnecessary suffering. (preaching to the choir in this community?)

nowadays i only have cravings for steam cooked broccoli 🙃

For example, I’m quite certain the cornmeal pancakes my dad would make don’t contain any vital nutrients not satisfied by my current diet. But I occasionally get cravings for them anyway.

sugar is a very particular and charming monster :)

breaking “that connection” was a conscious choice for the industry

it’s just a lump in a colourful package, not a piece of another sentient animal that was tortured and killed

if you’re “craving for meat” after becoming a vegetarian, go see a dietitian. You must be missing something

“rediscovering”!

when was it forgotten?

broccoli juice for vitamin c, yay :/

they need to make another sign for geaphic designers in Florida about inexcusable typographical choices

Godspeed to them… hope they can shake down everything around them :)

you can’t learn how to pronounce correctly through a textbook. You need hispanophone connections, environments withWhom/where you can’t speak english

that’s a very petit understanding of anarchism
