@bot@seal.cafe draining the earth of nutrients is wrong but there is some truth to it since there's plenty of evidence that increased atmospheric CO2 produced by industrial society decreases the nutritional value of crops
There's a bit of truth to what you're thinking but its wrong, ppl are still choosing what to eat and to overeat (and not exercise) and most processed trash has nutrients added anyway. Desertification is a different problem, what nutrients are being "drained from the earth"? Also are you fat?
@hidden@bot@anemone@scathach I don't know enough about the current state of farms to know if they're rotating properly or not but I've never heard of nutrient depletion in food being a problem.
It's not schizo but there are reasons I doubt it. One reason is that most fat people don't go after nutritious food, they go for empty carbs and sugars, suggesting it's more driven by an addiction to the high you get from Calorie dense foods. The obese tend to suffer from malnutrition.
@J@anemone@bot@scathach Yeah you might be right about that! I don’t think my theory has no validity though, i run into people who eat quite wholesome but still end up overeating and gaining a lot. I eat exclusively home cooked foods but am starving often and have to force myself not to eat to keep my weight
@bot@anemone@scathach Ofc cico makes people fat, my theory is about why people eat so much, I’m not questioning that fat is caused by excess energy consumption. Also it’s not schizo, it’s just the basic mechanics of all life on Earth. If you don’t do proper crop balancing you end up desertifying land by draining nutrients. That’s like saying it’s schizo to say we have dna or that molecules exist.
I'm js you say a lot of stuff that fat ppl say (I have talked to a lot of coping fatsos on the internet btw), current height and weight? You also didn't say which nutrients you're concerned about
"I'm a fat hog because of muh micronutrients, not because I'm eating fatty fried food, I actually eat more pizza because I NEED more nutrients" can't even believe this is a real discussion smh..
@PurpCat@J@hidden@anemone@bot@scathach it's because burgers have normalized eating slop for profit but I guess they would rather blame anyone else but themselves. Even before I was born my mom knew the food kids here were growing up on were trash.
I've seen the cultural eating habits of burgers, and they will choose chicken tendies and pizza nearly every single time over a freshly prepared dinner 💀
@bot@J@hidden@PurpCat@anemone@scathach that's part of the problem too but most burgers are not even eating fresh produce to begin with. I make fresh beans in bulk or rice and they refuse to eat it with other meals unless I serve it for them a certain way lol
Like yeah the agricultural industry here is a mess but it's also not hard to start a small urban or container garden. I guess there are farmers markets and things too but even the produce at Walmart looks questionable to me. There's a reason the burgers being fat is a stereotype all over the world and people in "blue zones" or whatever eat a lot healthier. Japanese people for example would never eat half the shit burgers are eating on a regular basis.
@bot@J@anemone@scathach Well that was at my last doctors appointment, idk what I’m at rn. The more important thing to notice is I answered J and not you. This is relevant
The total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.03%. The climate alarmists say that's bad because it went up from 0.01% .. even though that's within the margin of error considering they're using random pieces of ice and measurements from a time we had garbage measuring tools. But plant growth has accelerated, and plants have probably balanced out the relatively piddly amount we've released by burning hydrocarbons.
@hidden@anemone@bot@scathach because burgers don't actually eat well. My partners family eats horrifically in comparison to my immigrant family that also grows their own produce.
Yeah I'm not surprised my partners family gorges themselves all day off white bread and cookies. They're not eating anything nutritious lmao
you know that even if the numbers look extremely tiny that tripling the amount of anything in a complex system can have disproportionate effects that in turn cause further effects resulting in extreme and unpredictable long term effects on the system as a whole, right?
yea but in the case of CO2 in the atmosphere, it really is insignificant. It's one of the reasons I didn't continue work in academia because my background was in environmental sensor research and I knew I'd constantly be at ends with everyone in my field.
The reality is, the lithium, cobalt, thorium and other rare earth material we're mining for Li-ion cells is orders of magnitude worse than the strip mining and mountain top remove used to get at coal ... and we still need the coal anyway, because all those EVs are the most advanced coal powered cars in the world.
Even if it is more efficient with the coal to EV battery vs petrol (this is debatable), there's 100s of barrels of oil in the tires, vinyl, plastic and trim of those cars. All of the EV material is mined with massive dump trucks and excavators that need hydrocarbons. No amount of solar or wind is going to power a mining facility.
If you started to balance all the energy put into the "green" economy, the amount of environmental damage from using petrol would be far far less than the absolutely insane mount of energy that goes into solar and wind shit.
I responded to someone who disagrees with me, using reasoning, arguments, some sources and facts to continue a meaningful discussion.
You responded by somehow simultaneously being both a dick and an asshole, mixed with two scoops of being a faggot, stirred into a massive vat of retard sauce and served on an ice cream cone made of partially the hydrogenated vat soup your excuse for a brain sloshes around in.
That's something a retard would say about some bullshit globalist agenda The Science<tm> agenda involving a fundamental molecule required for all life on this planet turned into perpetual taxation and a tyrannical prison planet all because you have a shit relationship with your father and can't get pregnant to get yourself grounded in reality.
@bot@hidden@anemone@scathach Hidden extracts nutrition directly from the Tao, she doesn't eat food. The little bodyfat she does have is willed into existence from mental concentration.
