Reply to comment by Playingwithmyrod in Global food consumption alone could add nearly 1 °C to warming by 2100. Seventy five percent of this warming is driven by foods that are high sources of methane (ruminant meat, dairy and rice). by Plant__Eater

I used a blend from truenutrition.com, half soy protein, and half pea protein. With shipping comes about to about $16 a pound because I buy a large quantity at once. Protein powder is pretty expensive in general, but it's not a food that most people need. Most people don't even need 100g of protein a day, because they aren't strength training.

Reply to Researchers team has spent 9 years monitoring gluten-free products to analyse whether they are nutritionally deficient, and found that they are not usually nutritionally equivalent to those that contain gluten, but the quality of the products has increased considerably by giuliomagnifico

Reply to comment by DoctorYoy in Lung cancer patients with moderate to severe depression at diagnosis are 2 to 3 times more likely to have inflammation levels that predict poor survival rates, a new study found. (n=186) by geoff199

Weird take, but ok. In my case, and I'm talking about my case only, I didn't have a choice about getting cancer. I can, however, decide how I choose to react to that diagnosis. That was all I was trying to convey.

Reply to Study: Cannabinoids Can Reduce the Viability of Human Bladder Cancer Cells by Defiant_Race_7544

My dad had Bladder cancer a bit more than a decade ago. I think he was around 58 at the time he found out. He'd been a daily smoker of cigarettes for most of his life (had quit around 5 years prior) but also a daily toker. His doctors told him he was fine to keep smoking, and actually encouraged it for several reasons (appetite being the main one). Thankfully it never got out of hand, and weirdly they used localized TB to treat it.

If we stopped eating cows, pigs, chickens they would suffer the same decline as other wild animals and most likely far worse as they are demesticated and have no servival instincts left. Yes mostly they would go on the extinction list within 5 to 10 years. Not to mention the insane increase in population of preditors like coyotes.

The industry doesn't have to die. I did also use the word flounder. These industries need to be subsidized enough that they could provide food rations to the American people in times of catastrophe. If they're below that threshold and the global food supply becomes significantly restricted, it risks economic and societal collapse. Is the subsidy balanced in that way? I honestly don't know and I've never once seen anyone addressing that in these threads about food subsidies.
