8. I could go on, but you get the jist.
TL;DR: Beware of what you want to believe.
Making yourself feel better about something is not the same as getting it right.

7. No, Europe did not become β€œgreat” through meat-eating. Thoughout the entire early modern and modern periods until the late 19th Century, the vast majority here ate very little meat. Only imports of beef and lamb from the colonies, enabled by genocide, expulsion and land clearing, changed that.

6. No, β€œgrass-fed” meat production does not β€œavoid chemicals”. It still relies on veterinary medicine and large amounts of supplemental feeding. Hill farmers now use heavy applications of NPK. And the ecological opportunity cost is off the scale: vast amounts of land for tiny amounts of food.

5. No, buying local animal products does not mean you automatically know more about them. That long poultry shed at the bottom of the lane – do you have the faintest idea what goes on in there? What the chickens are fed? What medicines are used? How they are treated?

4. And what exactly does β€œlocal” chicken or β€œlocal” pork mean? The local bit is the factory or field through which the feed is channelled. But where does the feed come from? On average, there is more soy (in the UK it’s all imported, mostly from Brazil or the US) in chicken than there is tofu.

Prince Andrew and the political economy of privilege
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Prince Andrew and the political economy of privilege

What does Prince Andrew have to do with political economy? Quite a lot. In this video, I explain how royal privilege reveals the deeper structures of inequality that run through Britain’s politics and economy.

What is the UK’s true debt emergency?
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy What is the UK’s true debt emergency?

There’s a real debt crisis in Britain – but it’s not the one the politicians or journalists are talking about.

While Rachel Reeves obsesses over government borrowing, 4 million people are unable to afford the basics of life without debt. That's the real debt crisis.

Night night sweet dreamies

Life is hard on everyone, even the ones who hide it well.

If you can be anything,
be kind
Because you never know who’s holding themselves together in silence

Be kind to yourself too 🧑

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Keep the faith & hold on.
Things will get better.
It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.
Like the way wellies, umbrellas, galoshes keep you dry- a sprinkle of hope will help see you through

How is Cheese Made?

Does that sound like a delicious process to you? πŸ«•

Cheese is one of the number one reasons people cite for not being able to go vegan. But when you put it like George Monbiot does, it starts to sound a whole lot less appealing πŸ§€
