Artificially-flavored fecal contamination patties
(The Daily Show) Sept. 27, 2024: Fresh off a summer vacation at the Paris Olympics, Daily Show Correspondent Leslie Jones returns to offer a fresh perspective on why Europeans think so poorly of Americans and our poop-eating, loud, violent gun culture. Between the chemical food additives in our artificial "natural flavors"
[all "natural flavors" are artificial mimics of things occurring in nature and only have to be labelled accurately as "artificial flavors" if the flavor they are mimicking does not exist in nature, in either case all added "flavors" are synthetic and many of them are very dangerous neurotoxins]
I'm a sa lang now with herbal ingredients + stuff
to public breakdowns on planes, fast food restaurants, and on social media, as well as our rampant gun violence, and whale decapitations by insane politicians and detonations by foolish ones, Jones concludes about Americans: "We are f**ked up." #DailyShow#LeslieJones#Europe

20 Foods You'll Never Buy Again After Knowing How They Are Made
I just vomited in my mouth. How is this legal?
(Factsopedia) We all love indulging in our favorite foods, but has anyone ever stopped to think about what goes into making them?
From the synthetic chemicals used as preservatives and flavorants in processed snacks to the cruel treatment of tortured animals in factory farms, the food industry can be a shocking and disturbing place.
Maggots have protein. May cause diarrhea.
This video takes a closer look at the production process of some popular foods and exposes the often-hidden ingredients and practices that will may make one think twice before reaching for them in the store. Brace yourself. This video may just gross you out!

Animals feel. (Betty White)
On Tuesday, August 9, 2022 at 8:00 pm (Eastern Time), for the Compassion Consortium has its Film Night, featuring a retrospective on the ground-breaking 2005 film Earthlings, with special guest writer, Director, and Producer of the film Shaun Monson.
Earthlings is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and features the music of Moby. Additional information is available at compassionconsortium.org.
Shaun Monson is an American film director and producer and animal rights and environmental activist. He is best known for writing, directing, and producing the documentary Earthlings, which covers animal rights issues within the pet, food, fashion, entertainment, and animal testing industries.
I am a conscious, sentient (feeling) being.
Monson is a founding partner of Nation Earth, the production company responsible for Earthlings. He made a 2015 follow-up film called Unity, which explores the unifying force of consciousness found in humans, animals, and nature.
ABOUT: Earthlings premiered in 2005 at the Artivist Film Festival where it won best documentary feature. It won the Best Content Award at the Boston International Film Festival, and at the San Diego Film Festival it won Best Documentary Film. The Humanitarian Award went to Phoenix for his work on the film.
The documentary is based on the three sectors of life on earth: nature, animals (other than humans), and humankind. It doesn't take long to see that most of the problems faced by all three sectors can be traced back to the third one.
Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, Earthlings chronicles the day-to-day practices at some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Then parallels are drawn between speciesism and racism, sexism, and other oppression.
This film is ground-breaking and had a profound impact on human treatment of and interaction with non-human animals. It was a breakthrough event on our long road to compassion for all living beings.
This Meetup wants to celebrate the film for its tremendous impact and also discuss with Shaun Monson where things stand now. It seems that so much has changed, yet so much has not.
Issues to be explored in discussion with Producer Monson:
His life as fulltime animal rights frontliner
The role of documentary films in animal liberation
How Earthlings has impacted the animal rights movement
What has changed in the 17 years since the film was released
How can those of us who care about animals work more efficiently on their behalf
Where we've made the most progress for animals and which areas are lagging behind
What gives Shaun Monson the most hope
A teaser of the film that will start filming days from now
The hour will include scheduled time for Q & A, so all will have this rare opportunity to converse with this gifted filmmaker and humanitarian.
Please share widely about this event and be sure that friends who care about animals and the future of the planet have the chance to experience this discussion. It's not likely to come around again anytime soon. More
ADVISORY: This film contains graphic scenes of violence to nonhuman beings (earthlings) and can be difficult to view. It is not for children, very empathic people, or anyone suffering from PTSD or related disorders. Many people will not want to see the film, and it is in not necessary to view it in order to enjoy, appreciate, and be inspired by this evening's retrospective.
However, if you have not seen the film and would like to, it is available to watch at many places on the Internet. Simply Google “watch Earthlings film” and see the many options. Check out the trailer (with nothing terribly graphic) here.
In the 13 years since Super Size Me, the fast-food industry has undergone a makeover.
Today, chain restaurants mislabel and tout food that's "healthy," "organic," and "natural." Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock explores this new reality with an approach even more immersive and subversive than that used for his first film:
He sets out to open his own cooked dead chicken franchise. Follow him every step of the way, from raising baby chickens (depersonalized by calling them "poultry") and conjuring recipes once they're slaughtered and beheaded, to designing the brand and scouting a location.
Spurlock brings his disarming humor to uncover the truths and lies behind this multibillion-dollar industry.
Navigating a world of cynics and opportunists, Spurlock comes across like a hillbilly Jimmy Stewart type with refreshing optimism. He confronts one challenge after another inn his mission to live up to his ideals.
The film feels especially timely when the U.S. has a junkfood-loving president and an epidemic of false claims in advertising. Spurlock pays close attention to the Orwellian (Newspeak) buzzwords that marketers use to bring a "health halo" to toxic industrial food.
While the original Super Size Me made a specific example of McDonald's, this compelling sequel focuses on new targets and doesn't hold back on naming names. (We're looking at you, KFC).
The film builds momentum towards the day when Spurlock puts his reputation on the line by serving his first customers.
Provider: Samuel Goldwyn. Rating: PG-13. Release date: 2019. Running time: 1:42:58. Actors: Morgan Spurlock, Jonathan Buttram. Director: Morgan Spurlock. Producers: Keith Calder, Jess Wu Calder, Spencer Silna, Nicole Barton, Jeremy Chilnick, Matthew Galkin, Morgan Spurlock. Writers: Jeremy Chilnick, Morgan Spurlock. Genre: Independent documentary.

Cut to the chase for a summary of the Deep South: reincarnation of sex-deprived horses in Kentucky as equine slavery lives on. Then a man shows his ass-tattoo of Kentucky. KFC, anyone?
The Deep South
Stephen Fry in America is a six-part BBC TV series in which Mr. Fry travels across the USA, a country in which he was almost born. Just before he was born, his father was offered a job at Princeton U, NJ. But his daddy chose to turn it down in favor of Hampstead, England. In the series Fry travels, mostly in a London cab, through all 50 U.S. states. In Episode 02, it's the Deep South. There Fry tries to find out what makes the South as distinctive as everyone says it is from its Civil War manners to present-day weirdness.
South moves to Illinois: Juggalo Gathering
"It's a 'Southern' thing; y'all wouldn't understand." Southern is culturally-derived. It's born of the South. It has moved across the U.S. Fuse takes us South-adjacent into a "Gathering of the Juggalos" in neighboring Illinois, where two clowns created a movement of misfits that keep it real. They try to represent real life, not the glossy tourist postcard version of reality we see presented on television. Drugs, anyone? Let's go. "Inside the Gathering of the Juggalos" takes a look back at all the music and mayhem of Insane Clown Posse's annual festival at Cave-in-Rock, Illinois.
(Russell Blaylock M.D) EXCITOTOXINS: The Taste That Kills (The Dangers of MSG) with Dr. Russell Blaylock, March 7, 2013. Lecture by Dr. Blaylock on his book, Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills. The shocking truth about MSG (monosodium glutamate) and how it destroys the brain and causes shocking brain degeneration, cancer, Alzheimer's, and many other neurological disorders. Excitotoxins are proteins (amino acids) that excite brain cells to the point of exhaustion to cause them to die. Other excitotoxins include aspartame and mercury.
Review of: Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills
But it tastes good, doesn't it? - Sure does!
Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, MD, has written Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, in which he explains that certain amino acids when overly abundant in the brain can cause neurons to die.
Many biochemicals can act as neurotransmitters in the brain: some [over] excite our neurons; others calm them.
In particular, glutamate, aspartate, and cysteine are three amino acids that excite our neurons and can be called "excitotoxins." They are now added in large amounts to our food supply.
It's TOXIC! MSG harms brain tissue.
Glutamate, as monosodium glutamate (MSG), is added to many foods [as a toxic flavor enhancer]. It excites our taste buds and can make bland food taste wonderful.
It is contained in the sea vegetable kombu, which has been used as a flavor enhancer "for thousands of years in Japan."
In 1908 a Japanese scientist discovered that glutamate is the active chemical in kombu. By 1933 their annual consumption of monosodium glutamate was over ten million pounds.
Japanese cooks had found that MSG made even the most bland recipes "taste scrumptious." In [WW II] it was used in the rations for the Japanese soldiers. "Unlike American rations, theirs tasted delicious."
Soon the American [synthetic] food industry was following the lead of the Japanese and using MSG. "The use has doubled every decade since the late 40's.
"Today MSG is added to most soups, chips, fast foods, frozen foods, ready-made dinners, and canned goods. And it has been heaven sent for the diet food industry, since so many of the low-fat foods are practically tasteless....
"Often MSG and related toxins are added to foods in disguised forms. For example, among the food manufacturers favorite disguises are 'hydrolyzed vegetable protein,' 'vegetable protein,' 'natural flavorings,' and 'spices.' Each of these may contain from 12 per cent to 40 per cent MSG."
The human brain has two excellent natural methods of control: (1) balance the chemicals within and (2) selectively screen the chemicals allowed inside.
Glutamate is an amino acid that is used extensively in our brains. Why would it [MSG] be toxic?More

I prefer poetry. - I prefer vegan cookies.
“Los Angeles has now been named the vegan capital of the world, and I’m proud to live here because there is vegan food galore!” says Grammy-nominated musician Moby:
“What led me to adopt a vegan lifestyle is simply that I love animals and don’t want to contribute to their suffering in any way. Most Angelenos know that you can also help the planet by reducing [our] carbon footprint and lower [our] risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and so many other health issues by eating this way. Vegan eating is really a magic bullet that solves so many of today’s problems in one bite.”
Compassionate karma makes ppl beautiful
One of the first to embrace meat- and dairy-free dining on a large scale, the city now boasts thousands of restaurants with vegan offerings.
From upscale fare at celebrity hotspot Crossroads to locally sourced, seasonally crafted dishes at Plant Food + Vine and the all-vegan Cruzer Pizza, there’s something for every foodie in Los Angeles.
Y'know, it's not just Chinese food. There's Indian, and lots of popcorn and Junior Mints.
Fortunately, this year has many great cinematic releases. May we suggest "Pitch Perfect 3"? Or that "Star Peace," can't see that enough times. Laemmle's has a great selection of elevated art house fare. "My friends won't let me join in any games. And I can't sing Christmas songs or decorate a Christmas tree or leave water out for Rudolph, cause there's something wrong with me. My people don't believe in Jesus Christ's divinity. I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew, on Christmas. Hannukah is nice, but why is it that Santa passes over my house every year? And instead of eating ham I have to eat kosher latki. Instead of 'Silent Night' I'm singing 'Hu, haghtol gavish.' And what the f*ck is up with lighting all these f*cking candles? Tell me please. I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew. I'd me merry, but I'm Hebrew on Christmas." Hooray for South Park's irreverence and Mr. Hankey's (sh*tty) Christmas Classics!
This week Pres. Obama launched a war on Libya (under guise of seeking a manufactured "enemy") and continued illegal extrajudicial drone murders and assassinations (AP).
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fast-tracked a controversial piece of legislation aimed at overturning and preempting state laws for labeling foods made with genetically modified ingredients.
A recent Rasmussen poll found 58% of citizens who responded believe a "war on police" exists. The sentiment is being echoed publicly:
After Shannon J. Miles was arrested for allegedly killing Sheriff Deputy Darren Goforth at a gas station in Houston, a local district attorney remarked that "there are a few bad apples in every profession. That does not mean there should be open warfare declared on law enforcement."
Get the F out of the way! We're coming in!
NPR reports that some people are using this statistic as evidence of such a war: In 2013, 27 U.S. officers were "feloniously killed"; a year later, the number was 51. But Seth Stoughton, a former policeman and current assistant law professor, says this so-called "war" is, in fact, imaginary.
"It's misleading to compare one year to another year," says Stoughton. "2013 was the safest year for police officers ever," as in, "the safest year in recorded history." More
