McDonald's E. coli outbreak worsens

What must a taint burger, I mean a tainted burger, at McDonald's even look like, Kimmy?

When do we start eating the aborted?
The joyful vegans over at Conservative TV Central (Fox News) have a more right-wing department called Fox Business, which is reporting on Mickey D's expanding E. coli outbreak as they keep selling contaminated meat foods. What could be more disgusting than a dead slab of many churned up cows combined into a fried patty full of embalming preservatives, dyes, salts, tissue-stored pesticides? Dirty unwashed hands after using the restroom to produce feces and then grabbing raw onions to throw on top? One can suppose that there are worse things, like the funny Hollywood saying, "Don't s**t in my mouth and call it a milkshake."

Pasty meat? Maybe it's the onion?
(Fox Business from FOX News) The number of E. coli cases linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounders has climbed again.

Health officials are focusing on onions, hoping the blame can be laid on them rather than the blood-soaked flesh of countless animal placed in a single grinder and formed into patties, which are then sold to the fast-food chain as the likely source of the outbreak, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) said Wednesday.

Soon they'll blame the bugs and worms.
The FDA said in an update that 90 confirmed cases of the E. coli O157:H7 strain have now been identified across 13 states, and hospitalizations have climbed to 27.

Two victims have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that can cause kidney failure. One death was linked to the outbreak early on.

How McDonald's plans to bring back fearful customers: greed

Price: 3 taints for price of 2 when you buy 3.
The FDA believes raw onions served as a topping on Quarter Pounders might be the most likely source of the fecal infection outbreak after beef (slaughtered cow meat and allowable rat parts) was ruled out as a likely source.

The agency said it has launched inspections at the Colorado processing plant of Taylor Farms, which supplied recalled onions to McDonald's, and an unnamed onion farm in Washington state.
Don't think of them as "Butt Burgers."
Quarter Pounders from the menu at 900 of its restaurants after the outbreak was discovered, McDonald's will resume serving the possibly tainted hamburgers in the affected areas this week.

There's a hair in my veiny tendons!
But the [ultra-processed, chemically-flavored] sandwiches will not be served with onions at those locations.

The areas affected by the E. coli outbreak are in Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming, as well as portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Utah. More

Nude beach, vegan BBQ: National Bikini Day


How to celebrate our American Buddhist freedoms most gloriously on this long Independence Day weekend?

First, the Boss says we have to work Friday. She's obviously never heard of rapper Kid Cudi and his "Pursuit of Happiness" because, like Project X which was filmed in Pasadena, we say F that.
Hedonism is no answer, but it's Nat'l Bikini Day.
"Independence" means taking days off when you feel like it. It was better in pagan times (according to scholar Dr. Hillman) in Europe when there were many more holy days to explore the Mysteries (initiation cults of the goddesses), when gentiles enjoyed almost as many holidays as Jews still do. We'll all call in sick and it should be fine.

And "bodily autonomy" means taking off everything down to our birthday suits if we feel like it -- if not everywhere, at least somewhere. Are we slaves to Judeo-Christian uptight morality or hippies who value personal freedoms above all things?

(DJ Chesley) Reconnaissance trip to Black's Beach, nudist California

(DJ Chesney) California's best nude beach? Vlog 1: It was Valentine's Day 2018, when DJ and Oliver decided to visit Black's Beach. It's one of the only nude beaches in Southern California. There's a better one. It is breathtakingly beautiful, mainly due to the scenery, not so much the naked people.

Second, with this heatwave and not a cloud in the sky, it's time to hit the coast of Santa Monica Bay. Six beaches in Los Angeles are brown flagged, meaning the bacteria levels are too high to swim in, but the secret nude beach should be fine. If swimming nude is good enough for the dolphins, it's good enough for us. (Bikinis optional with some sunbathing).

Except the perchlorate and other "forever chemicals" from the Great American 4th of July Pastime of "drinking beer and playing with explosives" has left the air, sand, and water contaminated. So we better wear N-95 masks and filter our water and pick a better beach than Hermosa (Hyperion to a Satyr) or Dockweiler.

Some dolphins ("killer whales") eat sharks | Although the Demiurge (God) giveth terrible teeth

RECIPE BOOK: Decolonize Your Diet
Third, how to build a clean and safe BBQ pit? We'll use real wood, burn it down to glowing embers without letting oil or juices drop into it, which creates smoke and flare ups that lead to acrylamides and other toxic formations (like soot and char) on food. Menu? Indigenous vegan dishes with Beyond Burgers (soy-free, gluten-free) and tangy BBQ sauce.

Ten Course Vegan Menu
  1. HempFu (soy-free hemp seed tofu) sauteed with BBQ sauce
  2. Jack-o-Molie (guacamole of avocado, Tajin, fresh lemon, serrano chilis, sea salt, cilantro/coriander leaves, cayenne pepper)
  3. Salad (leafy green with tangy raw soaked seed dressing)
  4. Amaranth, Mexico's indigenous staple (before corn)
  5. Beyond Burgers (pea protein with avocado oil)
  6. Three Sisters (beans, squash, and purple maize)
  7. Salsa (tangy, spicy appetizer with lots of cilantro)
  8. Purslane (verdolagas, one of the healthiest plants)
  9. Mint lemonade (filtered water, ice, sweet lemons)
  10. TJ's chocolate chip cookies (almond flour, coconut sugar)

Meat-free "Human Flesh Burgers"? Go vegan

Bob's BurgersNY Post; Ananda (DBM), Dhr. Seven, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Who taste tested the two to make the comparison, Anders Linden?

They have us eating worms and crickets and craving flesh.
“I am incredibly proud of this award and the great teamwork behind it. Our mission is to change how people eat, and it is our duty to use creativity as a tool to make this change happen,” said Henrik ร…kerman, Swedish Oumph!'s global brand leader.

“As a small brand we need to be bold and ready to push some boundaries to breakthrough, and I think this campaign is a good example of us doing just that,” he said.

Tomรกs Ostiglia, executive creative director at creative agency LOLA MullenLowe, said a problem with selling plant-based products was people often said they don’t replicate the taste of [dead animal flesh] meat very well.

WARNING: Don't look! Car crash! Cannibal Corpse "Shredded Humans"

It tastes like a greasy dead bird.
“A claim most are tired of hearing and even more tired of being disappointed by,” he said. “And of course, a solution was to make a tasty plant-based human meat burger.

“The bravery of launching a risky idea that is 100% on-brand is always rewarded,” Ostiglia added.

Oumph! co-founder, corporate chef and head of innovation Anders Linden said developing a plant-based burger that tastes of human meat was “exciting, and a little bit scary.”

I wish I could go vegan. Is there a free kit?
“We developed this burger in no time as soon as we knew what taste and texture we were after,” Linden explained. [How did you know what taste? Are human snacks available somewhere in Sweden?]

“This is our ultimate and weird way of showing that it’s possible to create any type of food by using just plants.” VIDEO: Halloween vegan burger hyped for tasting like 'human meat' wins award (nypost.com)
Commentary: Some burgers made of flesh
Parasites from cannibalism and eating insects?
Ever think the powers that be are prepping us for something? Get used to eating worms, crickets, cockroach legs and dung (already an ingredient of hotdogs). Look up "offal" (pronounced \awful\).

In the future, in the time of Soylent Green, what's that secret ingredient? Everyone was starving. Many were dying. It seemed a waste to toss this protein packages in the funeral grounds for maggots to eat. So we filled them with toxic preservatives (embalming fluids), stuffed them in cling wrap and white Styrofoam platters, and sold them at the supermarket. People who devour pigs loved them, almost like bacon and fried tripe.

They already make insect-worm burgers (NPR).
It makes it sound worse that it's vegan, but vegetables are vegan. Anyone can add "natural" (a synthetic chemical mimicking a substance that occurs in nature which means there's nothing "natural" about it) and synthetic flavorants to anything. Why not marinate human flavors into boring shredded and crumbled beef for a real cannibal experience? Yum! There's nothing like eating our fellow mammals and calling it a good thing. Go vegan. At least go veg once a week. The body will thank you.

L.A.-based Beyond Meat going to China

El Segundo-based Beyond Meat signs production agreement in China
Beyond Meat will begin making plant-based meat in China later this year under an agreement announced Tuesday.

They are building building two facilities outside Shanghai.
  • El Segundo-based Beyond Meat reports jump in sales as more people try plant-based burgers
  • Dunkin’ to launch Beyond Meat breakfast sandwich nationally
Production will begin later this year, with full production expected in early 2021.

Beyond Meat products made their Chinese debut in April at Starbucks, which sells the company’s imitation beef in lasagna, pasta, and a spicy wrap. [Sadly, most Americans have not yet stopped eating toxic gluten.]

Beyond Meat burgers entered Chinese grocery stores in June through a partnership with Alibaba.

This is Beyond Meat’s second international expansion this year. It opened a manufacturing facility in the Netherlands in June. More

Impossible VEGGIE burger "bleeds" (audio)

Sally Herships (PRI.org); NoMDforMe.com; Crystal Quintero, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
Both Beavis and Butthead worked at Burger World and ate dead cows from the garbage.

 
Veggie burger that "bleeds" might convince even carnivores to eat green
Humans [used to be vegetarian during the cyclical golden ages of the past and future but] have [allegedly] been eating animals since, well, before we were human [in this cycle of devolution; see Michael Cremo].


Veggie burger (Bridgette Burkholder/PRI's The World)
But there are now so many people on the planet eating so much meat that feeding and slaughtering all of  those animals [more than 1,000,000 a day in the U.S.] is having a big impact on the global environment, including our climate.
 
That has people around the world scrambling for better meat substitutes, something better than those dry or bland veggie burgers.
 
Patrick Brown, founder and CEO of Impossible Foods, thinks he's hit the jackpot. His company invented a veggie burger that claims to taste, feel, and even bleed like a real dead animal in your mouth.
 
It’s already on the menu at the trendy New York restaurant Momofuku Nishi.
 
Bartees Cox is from Oklahoma. He’s one of eight diners who convened at Momofuku Nishi to test out this new burger. He says his family grew up buying whole dead cows from a rancher and storing them in an extra freezer.
 
“You put it in the garage,” he says. “You could put a Fiat [car] in this freezer.”
 
Joining him at the table are Chris Berube and Bridgette Burkholder. Both are vegetarians and both are nervous about the impending food tasting.
 
“Everything I've read about it says [that] it bleeds like a hamburger,” Berube says. “So when you bite into it, there are all [of] these liquids that come out. I'm actually very anxious about this in a way that I didn't think I would be.”
 
"It’s a little weird. The idea of biting into a slab of meat-like substance is a little weird," Burkholder adds.
 
The bar for pleasing all three of these folks is high. But on the other side of the table it gets even higher. More

The 10 Bad Foods to Avoid
 
Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Peter Glidden say everybody must ELIMINATE these ten harmful foods from our diets:
  1. No Gluten
    Grain damage
    Wheat
  2. barley
  3. rye
  4. oats, oatmeal – even if it’s gluten free.
  5. fried foods – nothing fried! Boil, broil, or bake and never more than medium rare for flesh.
  6. oils – and this includes olive oil! No canola, corn, soy, or even virgin coconut oil. If oil is in the name, eliminate it. This includes everything made from oil, such as salad dressing. Dr. Wallach recommends using sea salt and lemon juice as a better salad dressing. Margarine, combo spreads, mayonnaise, eliminate everything made from oils.
  7. burned fats – If food is grilled, place something between the food and the fire (such as aluminum foil) so juice does not drip onto the flame and deposit dangerous chemical byproducts on food.
  8. nitrates/nitrites added to meat – (such as deli meats, cold cuts, jerky).
  9. carbonated drinks of any kind an hour before, during, or after meals.
  10. skin of baked potato (yam, sweet potato). Skins of boiled potato are good.

Fighting gentrification in L.A. (audio)

Latinas in Boyle Heights dress up for Dia de los Muertos (selfhelpgraphics.com)

Activists opposed to gentrification in Los Angeles' historic Boyle Heights are protesting local art galleries, with the latest protest taking place this past weekend.
 
They say new galleries opening in the neighborhood are ushering in wealthy outsiders, and unwanted development. But some say they’re casting too wide a net.
 
In the latest protest on Saturday, activists objected to the opening of the United Talent Agency Artist Space, which is part of an expanding “gallery row” on the western edge of Boyle Heights and along and around Anderson Street near downtown Los Angeles.
 
The anti-gentrification activists view the galleries as contributing to rising rents that they say can displace working-class residents in the neighborhood.

A representative for the United Talent Agency Artist Space did not respond to requests for comment.
 
In the mix of galleries are some unlikely targets, like Self Help Graphics & Art. The community arts nonprofit moved to Boyle Heights five years ago from East Los Angeles, where it had operated for decades.
 
Joel Garcia, director of Self Help, said the gallery's role is to nurture local artists of color. Activists should not paint all of the art spaces...

"This is real. People have lost homes and businesses," one activist group called Defend Boyle Heights posted on its Facebook page. The group also provided video from the weekend protest.

KPCC FM (SoCal Public Radio) has been covering rising rents in Boyle Heights for over a year and mapping cases where businesses and residents have been displaced or evicted. More + AUDIO
A petition started last week on change.org calls for the Irvine-based chain to stop “letting its fans down by failing to serve anything that would satisfy a burger-loving customer who wants a healthy, humane, sustainable option.”
The petition started by The Good Food Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to food sustainability complains:

“If you want a meat-free meal at In-N-Out, you’re going to be stuck eating multiple orders of French fries or a cheese-slathered bun.” This isn’t the first time people have petitioned In-N-Out to change its menu. In 2012, an LA-area vegan also petitioned the chain to add a veggie burger. At last count the petition has already exceeded... More

National Burger Day, U.S.A.

Weird Things Our Families Eat (That We Unabashedly Love)
There are yummy vegetarian things our families eat (that we unabashedly love)!
The Moosewood Collective says, “Our all-time favorite, luscious burgers the way we make them now: Vegan and wheat-free. “Tofu burgers have been a favorite at the restaurant since we can remember. Our customers often call to ask, “Are tofu burgers on the menu today?” In the early years, we served them on a thick slice of whole wheat toast with lettuce, tomato slices, and Russian dressing. Now we serve them... (Jim Scherer)
 
Wednesday, May 28, 2014, more than a month before it's needed, is National Burger Day. Presumably we're celebrating carnage like that of the Battle of Hamburger Hill.

Now, what if it were possible to have flavor, health, and compassion? What if National Burger Day could be celebrated in style free of heart attacks, cancer, obesity, bad karma, a jump in cholesterol (as our body tries to protect itself against the free radicals we're dumping in with animal flesh, acrylamides, and fermented toxins used in flesh burgers), or harm to the environment?

It is possible! We do it all the time. There are so many center "patty" options, and the best we've found is the amazing new Hilary's Hemp & Greens Burger at Lassens (online).

10 Meat-free Grilling Tips
Lassens edited by Wisdom Quarterly
Grilled blocks of barbecue-flavored tofu (SH)
The start of summer is the perfect time to enjoy delicious, sizzling meals straight off the grill! As we get set to fire up our BBQ grills, instead of the ugly and likely germ and GMO-contaminated flesh fare, cook up some grilled veggies instead. Going flesh free means opening up a world of many more options with smoky barbecue flavor.
 
The world of vegetables is amazing on the grill -- squash, tofu, hemp seed, onions, tempeh, garlic, quinoa, tomato, lettuce greens, chives, gobo root, chia seeds, lentil, eggplant, zucchini, potato, green jack, bell pepper, beet, portabello 'shrooms, and so much more! Plus, meat-free grilling is an easy way to add nutrient rich, fiber rich, healthy seasonal produce to our diet, which reduces disease.

"Eating [any] meat, particularly red and processed meat, can increase risk of heart disease, diabetes, and various forms of cancer," says Allison Righter, MSPH, RD, Meatless Monday science adviser at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.

And it's not just the amount of animal flesh someone eats -- it's also how someone cooks it. "Cooking meat at high temperatures, like pan frying and grilling/charring over an open flame, forms [toxic] chemical compounds in the meat that have also been linked to cancer," Righter says.

Kids love it -- vegan, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, dairy-free cheese (followyourheart)
 
The good news is that many of these chemicals are NOT formed when grilling vegetables or fruits. "So [people] can enjoy their grilled flavor worry-free!"  So get grilling and take a break from toxic flesh with these 10 easy summer grilling tips: More

Golden potatoes are an excellent complement to cruelty-free burgers with all the fixins.
