  • This situation is an example of idiots on both sides. The activist could have looked at Potato production in France and Filipino Farmers could have looked at the US South prior to enriched flour. Grow Golden Rice for export and it will become a commodity crop. I know several farmers in the US that would love to grow Golden Rice and no-one outside the Philippines can get the stuff due to the genetics group that is stupidly restricting it due to grain quantity. IF the Philippines doesn’t want it the rest of the world isn’t that dumb. You just got the money for humanitarian reasons you lucky fucks.






  • Yep, it’s to protect the hunter/butcher. Deer are known vectors for Bluetongue and Tuberculosis (unpleasant but not fatal thanks to antibiotics), but the new reason that has the CDC recommending gloves is Chronic Wasting Disease. There are no human cases currently but several studies indicate that humans may be able to contract it and given that it has no treatment or vaccine limiting exposure it probably for the best until more is known.

    As to why you haven’t seen this? Well it’s a fairly new disease and doesn’t appear to have spread to the UK or mainland Europe. I didn’t start using gloves myself until ~5 years ago.



  • Bibi doesn’t give a shit about Biden, but Israel better start giving a shit about the US. We have propped them up for well over 70 years, and the sentiment is swinging toward Gaza as a preview for Israel. We don’t really want them dead but their safety is rapidly diminishing as OUR priority. Israel only had marginal popularity in the US at the best of times, making themselves the heel was not smart.

    Right now we want to wash our hands of several of our middle eastern baggage states. Israel is a 3.5 billion per year financial burden and a regional soft power liability we inherited from France and England after WW2. Bibi is giving us the perfect excuse to sever existing treaties.

    They want to kill all Palestinians cool, they can do it on their own permanently. It just means the US gets to cut a massive liability from their foreign relations.



  • I don’t know about agricultural inspectors but I’ve done butcher work. If they are reputable they don’t send out cuts that have been exposed to disease or weren’t purged(dosed) before slaughter.

    As to not liking the touch I can respect that. I have more than a few partners that felt the same. It doesn’t bother me that much just due to the fact I’ve been handling it since I was a kid.



  • Man, you and I may just be opposites on this. I love the crust; it’s my favorite part of bread. I save the smooth top part for last on sandwiches cause it’s my favorite part. I even construct my sandwiches so that the tastiest internals are near the top crust.

    Even with French and Italian bread I will pull out the crumb and smear the crust with butter, mayo, or soup to eat on it’s own.


  • Unless you are talking about wild game meat the need for gloves means the butcher and the rancher fucked up.

    You shouldn’t need gloves for beef, pork, chicken, or farmed game animals. You should only need to wash your hands after handling.

    Wild game has additional requirements due to new diseases that spread via skin contact and parasites. If you are dressing or processing a deer you need to be wearing gloves and probably a mask for the later.
