Potatoes and Feminism

Prof Scarborough surveyed 55,000 people who were divided into big meat-eaters, who ate more than 100g of meat a day, which equates to a big burger, low meat-eaters, whose daily intake was 50g or less, approximately a couple of chipolata sausages, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans.

The analysis is the first to look at the detailed impact of diets on other environmental measures all together. These are land use, water use, water pollution and loss of species, usually caused by loss of habitat because of expansion of farming. In all cases high meat-eaters had a significantly higher adverse impact than other groups.

In solidarity with the women of Iran who are protesting the death of Mahsa (Jina) Amini and for the right to bodily autonomy.

As the government tries to shut down access to the internet and protests, several artists have decided to take a stand to raise awareness  Thank you Aria del Sole for inspiring me to join in. From the artists who started this online protest: What is happening in Iran right now: On 16th of september 2022, Mahsa “Jina” Amini died after being detained and beaten by the Iranian morality police for breaking hijab rules. She is not the first or last Iranian woman to encounter this. They are at the frontline of a revolution, fighting the regime, risking their lives by taking off their hijab publicly. Join us in our online protest; supporting those who are protesting but also those who want to wear it. This is a fight for freedom of choice, standing strong for women’s equal rights, everywhere in the world. We want to show our solidarity with this artivism; drawing one big banner and the women who stand behind it.
