Animal sentience is often thought of as a complex, poorly defined, subjective, and abstract concept, raising as many questions as it does answers. If you talk to different people about their views on animal sentience you will undoubtedly get various responses. If you asked a pet owner whether animals have feelings, they would regale you with stories of when their dog comforts them, or is proud of himself when he opens a closed door. A farmer who works closely with his or her animals may tell you about how cow number 19 likes being tickled behind her ears, and how cow number 25 is the shy and cautious one. But then you may talk to someone who sees animals only in terms of their monetary value. Animals to such people are not living, sentient beings, they represent commodities. It is far easier for them to see animals in this way but far less convenient for them to consider their ability to suffer or their need to experience positive emotions like pleasure. How people perceive animals is never black and white, attitudes may depend on the species in question, and the animals perceived mental ability [47]. However, when you consider how we treat the animals we farm for food, experiment upon, or use for entertainment, you can clearly see how important these perspectives are, and which the dominant ones are.

"Elon is genuinely an idiot, ketamine has fried his brain, but he spent most of his life being smart, and he can no longer think of himself any other way." |

There's a lot of vegan meats now. There's Tofu Turkey, which they call Tofurkey. There's Tofu Bacon, which they call Tofacon. Apparently someone has made Tofu Duck, but they're having trouble with the name. |

"known to beneficially modulate risk factors for cardiovascular disease; however, the current literature does not differentiate between various plant-based diets. This study aimed to examine the association between various plant-based diets and plasma lipids and glycaemic indices compared to a regular meat-eating diet."
"In conclusion, this cross-sectional study of healthy middle-aged adults found individuals adhering to a vegan dietary pattern had favourable plasma lipids and glycaemic indices compared to regular-meat dietary patterns characterised by significantly lower concentrations of TC, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, TC/HDL ratio, FBG, HbA1c and insulin." |

Prikoļī kā nevienu nesatrauc, ka arābi arī ir semīti. Nacionālisms ir viens no lielākajiem idiotismiem, ko cilvēki jebkad ir izdomājuši. Daudz lielāks par reliģiju. |

| Par D vitamīnu. |
[Nov. 8th, 2024|08:21 pm] |
Aizmaldījos pa internetiem līdz podkāstam par D vitamīnu. 2 Doktori apgalvo, ka D vitamīna, kurš nemaz nav vitamīns, jo mēs paši labi varam to saražot, iedod tikai nedaudz saules gaismas, avitaminoze ir reti sastopama un D vitamīna lietošana nav zinātniski pamatota, bet industrijas izdomājums. Video komentos attiecīgi doktori tika nolikti, ka runājot muļķības.
Tas man lika pameklēt pētījumus par tēmu. Neatradu pārliecinošus datus par D vitamīna lietošanas vajadzību. D vitamīns esot vispārējās veselības rādītājs, kura līmenis katram indivīdam atšķiras. D vitamīna avitaminozei ir konkrēti sāpīgi simptomi. Prikolīgi, bet būtu labāk videospēles spēlējis, nevis galvu jaucis. |

"Over-consumption of iron-rich red meat and hereditary or genetic iron overload are associated with an increased risk of colorectal carcinogenesis, yet the mechanistic basis of how metal-mediated signaling leads to oncogenesis remains enigmatic." |
