"What's YOUR food waste style?" :?

:idea: Not related to "What's your food waist style?", since ...
1. Large waist could indicate less waste (more food is consumed).
2. Large waist could indicate more waste (more food is purchased).
3. Food that's not nutritious can be wasted with less concern.
4. Food that is nutritious might be waisted with more concern.

:lol: You'll probably buy more food to waste and/or waist
if you seriously considered these perspectives. :roll:

Re: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/arti ... -QUIT.html

"For the past two years, my wife and I have employed a live-in nanny who helps us care for our young son, while taking care of a few chores around the house. She has formed a wonderful bond with our three-year-old – so much so that we decided this year to invite her on our family vacations with us." (but nanny cannot fly first class with the family!) :o

:idea: How nanny flies (or flees) depends on family relationship:
Is nanny perceived as servant or as family member? :roll:

"Cricket Flour? Mealworms? The Insects are Coming!" :o

"The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently announced that mealworms are safe for human consumption,
sparking a race to supply cheap, functional insect-derived ingredients to manufacturers clamoring for new options
... The fact is you are probably already eating ingredients derived from insects." :roll:

:scratch: Best guess: Today's acceptance of heavily processed foods (aka "snacks" and "fast food")
will be limited by increasing demand for food whose obvious source is natural - not lab-created!
... since those who continue to consume so much of the lab stuff will not live long enough
(and with observable good health) to maintain demand for the lab-creations. ;)

"the brand’s efforts to promote inclusivity - which included making LGBTQ pro women’s soccer player
and outspoken leftist Megan Rapinoe, as well as a transgender woman, brand spokesmodels and
getting rid of its famous 'Angels' supermodels - gained favorable reviews from online critics
but never translated into sales." :(

Yes... :shock: That happens to me all the time and I have even extended it to larger mistakes. For instance, when I send out the French list the signature is usually italicized and in maroon. Well, yesterday after proofreading I sent it out and I hadn't even noticed the color of the signature was black. This is something I could do with my eyes closed...Yet I didn't notice it when I proofread. :roll:

Well in the grand scheme of things, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and 100 years from now perhaps the readers won't remember either. LOL

"(U.S.) President directs most sweeping actions ever taken to protect Americans from potential risks of AI:

- Protect against the risks of using AI to engineer dangerous biological materials.
- Protect Americans from AI-enabled fraud and deception by establishing standards and best practices for detecting AI-generated content.

Re: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/01/health/m ... index.html
"High mobile phone use may impact sperm count" :o

"The greatest association between low sperm count/concentration and phone use were between 2005 and 2007. As companies moved from 2G up to 5G, the association weakened, in line with the 'corresponding decrease in the phone’s output power' "

:idea: Informative discussion about cell phone usage and sperm health. However, "literal handful of sperm" in final sentence suggests impossibility of their swimming to the nesting location, despite such impressive quantity. :roll: Apparently, this 5G being less harmful than 2G relates to transmission power (less needed for 5G towers everywhere). But anti-5G experts claim that the 5G frequency is not less harmful, so monitoring 5G exposure may be wise.

See also: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/ob ... g-is-safe/
"We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe"

"we have considerable evidence about the harmful effects of 2G and 3G. Little is known the effects of exposure to 4G, a 10-year-old technology, because governments have been remiss in funding this research. Meanwhile, we are seeing increases in certain types of head and neck tumors in tumor registries, which may be at least partially attributable to the proliferation of cell phone radiation. These increases are consistent with results from case-control studies of tumor risk in heavy cell phone users. 5G will not replace 4G; it will accompany 4G for the near future"

:scratch: Best guess: The serious problems relate to above average cell phone usage :!:
However, that mRNA vaccines are claimed by some experts to reduce the body's
natural cancer detection/control complicates this suspected cell phone problem. :roll:
