"South China Morning Post reported that Chinese importers have canceled 12,030 metric tons of American pork. ...

''China’s duties on US imports have raised the effective tariff rate on pork shipments to 172%. US pork producers remain at the tip of the spear with China tariffs. The new tariffs make it impossible for American pork producers to compete in that market.'

… China bought $125 million in US pork last year."

(4/x) On the #NOVA scale, homemade soup is a 1, but if you use a #bouillon cube it's a 4 ("bad"). Such arbitrary categorizations make informed comparisons btwn foods difficult. Some #plant-based alternatives to #meat are healthier than the #beef or #pork people consume: vox.com/future-perfect/391795/

Nuki Raccoon: The DEI Program of Furry Erotica

Thinking of going on a #vegan / #Vegetarian #diet, but not sure how to suddenly stop eating meat? Try cutting out a few things, and working your way up!

#Pork is the least healthy, highest #pollution food you can eat, hands down, and #pigs are the most intelligent animal humans regularly eat. If you cut it out of your diet, you are halfway to being vegetarian in terms of health, pollution, and #ethics concerns.

#Lamb, the other most-polluting food, is easy to quit, because it's semi-rare and #gyro places usually offer #chicken and #felafel alternatives.

#Beef is next on the list, somewhere between pork and chicken.

This puts you down to #chicken and #fish, relatively low-impact high-nutrition foods.

You don't even have to fully commit: just cutting back is good!

This is called being #MeatConscious, and it can have almost as strong an effect on #ClimateChange and #Health as #Vegetarianism / #Veganism, especially since it's far easier to just eat less meat than stop entirely.

Cook your bacon, yessiree
Eat it extra crispy, just ask me
Don't eat soggy, uncooked bacon plain
or you may get a tapeworm in your brain

Little larvae in your head
Giving you headaches while you're in bed
It's a nasty business, this bacon stuff
Heck, better go vegetarian, I've had enough

UNCCD: The massive impacts of human-induced #droughts only start to unfold. Substituting half of animal products (#pork, #chicken, #beef, #milk), with more #sustainable alternatives could halt the conversion of #forests & natural land for agriculture: unccd.int/news-stories/press-r

UNCCDDrought data shows “an unprecedented emergency on a planetary scale”: UNUNCCD launches ‘Global Drought Snapshot’ report at COP28 in collaboration with International Drought Resilience Alliance (IDRA) Recent drought-related data based on research in the past two years and compiled by the UN point to “an unprecedented emergency on a planetary scale, where the massive impacts of human-induced droughts are only starting to unfold.”
