The hidden face of meat, documentary

[Alain G]

These images remind me badly of the massacre of baby seals in Canada (which Brigitte Bardo had defended) and which have still not stopped! Does it seem that the Canadians involved / interested have succeeded in this "tour de force" of obtaining a slaughter quota:

Ah those bad Canadian!

What do you do with Norway in Europe?


All hunting is not beautiful to see no matter the animal and these images had for goal only to draw funding and besides must be questioned on the methods which certain defenders take to draw $$$!

Anyway it's still HS always coming from the same guy!

Small comparison ... instructive: a beef steak against black beans ...

Quinoa isn't bad either, we've been talking about it a lot lately:
Nutritional values ​​for a 100 g serving
Energy (kCal) 120 kCal
4.4 g protein
Fat 1.92 g
Carbohydrates 21.3 g
Fiber 2.8 g
Water 71.61 g
Alcohol 0 g
Ashes 0.76 g

What sets quinoa apart is its high protein content. The quality and balance of its proteins (between 12,5 and 16,7%) are superior to those of other cereals, and 37% of the proteins in quinoa are essential amino acids.

Essential amino acids are elements that the human organism is unable to produce and that it must therefore draw from food. A deficiency of amino acids limits human development because the cells of dead tissue cannot be repaired, nor new tissue created during growth. The essential amino acids for humans are: valine, leucine, threonine, lysine, tryptophan, histidine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, arginine and methionine.

The amino acids that quinoa contains in larger quantities than other cereals are: glutamic acid, aspartic acid, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and valine. Glutamic acid is involved in the production of energy for the brain and in fundamental processes such as learning, memorization and neuronal plasticity; aspartic acid strengthens the functions of the liver and is vital for the maintenance of the cardiovascular system; Tyrosine has an important anti-stress function and plays a fundamental role, among others, in the fight against depression and anxiety; lysine, which has a double concentration in quinoa compared to other cereals, improves immune functions by helping to build antibodies, promotes gastric functions, contributes to tissue repair, participates in fatty acid metabolism, contributes calcium transfer and absorption, and may even seem to delay or block - with vitamin C - cancer metastases, to name a few of its multiple therapeutic properties. Like isoleucine, leucine and valine, these intervene together, inter alia, in the production of muscular energy, the improvement of neuromuscular disorders, the prevention of damage to the liver, while helping to maintain a balance of blood sugar levels.

Lipids

The majority of quinoa fatty acids are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, which means that their integration into the diet is beneficial. They are indeed

Yes LeJuste except that the CO2 impact of Quinoa imported from South America and cultivated exclusively at altitude is undoubtedly much worse than our beans ...

Another interesting infographic that confirms the interest of lentils and beans:

You cheated on Kri kri:

This pseudo-cereal has been carefully safeguarded by these communities and today constitutes a precious heritage for humanity due to its unique characteristics: quinoa is the only plant food containing all the essential amino acids, trace elements and vitamins. , without containing any trace of gluten.

It grows in the harshest conditions, withstands temperatures ranging from -8 ° C to 38 ° C, can be grown at sea level as at 4000 meters above sea level, and is able to withstand drought and accommodate poor soils.

And I knew it, nananère

Indeed LeJuste, I did not know, there are even (trials of?) Quinoa crops on 200 ha in France according to the wiki page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa

Since 2009, the culture of quinoa has been introduced in France, from Anjou to Poitou: it went from 100 to 200 hectares between 2009 and 20105.

Last night I saw a program on animal cloning.
It has become a reality, we are already eating this meat in Europe ... (lack of European laws)

[Janic]

tonight on TMC: "90 "of investigations: deceptions and food poisoning: the new meat scandals.

[Exnihiloest]

Last night I saw a program on animal cloning.
It has become a reality, we are already eating this meat in Europe ... (lack of European laws)

If it can make Charolais beef ribs cheaper, why not. A clone is only a genetic equivalent. If the original is healthy, so is the copy. It would be a danger to human reproduction, not to eating meat.

[Ahmed]

There is no direct danger, it is a fact. Cloning is, however, another important step towards reducing genetic variability, and therefore towards the health problems that go with it and which imply an ever-increasing use of medication, especially in certain types of breeding farms.
