The latest victim of the growing hate for all things related to #Dharmic faiths. After attacking or co-opting all number of #Hindu traditions, it's now the turn of a micro-minority : the #Jain faith and being #vegetarian in general. SouthAsian vegetarians be warned! 1/n
#Caste
During the public comments section of the @SeattleCouncil meeting on 2/14, supporters of the proposed #Caste ordinance turned their ire on the "militant vegetarianism" of #Jains. Hear the sound byte to understand the outright hate being mainstreamed!
Ironically the long and ancient tradition of #vegetarianism among SOME #Hindus, #Jains, #Sikhs and #Buddhists is under fire-even as western society as a whole discovers the benefits of a #plantbased diet and #MeatLessMonday proliferates. 3/n

Pero en @infobae el Teniente Gral. Martín Paleo, Jefe del Estado Mayor Conjunto, le dijo en una entrevista a @AKlipphan este 28 de agosto,que no es un problema de las #FFAA🇦🇷

A cuánto de #ISIS?

Recordemos el COMUNICADO DEL #WAM (célula #CAM)
Recuerdo “la fuente de lo aseverado”:

Submarinos, aviones y una base militar en el sur: el plan del Gobierno para reequipar a las Fuerzas Armadas

“Para mí es de carácter policial. De seguridad. Para mí no tiene entidad para el empleo del instrumento militar. No veo una amenaza estatal militar externa. En el caso nuestro no constituye una amenaza estatal militar ni externa. O sea que para nosotros no es un problema eso”. ImageImage

We are just scapegoating meat. #SacredCow #Vegan #sustainableFarming
It is far more likely that modern food iscausing modern illness, not a food that we’ve been eating for 3.5 million years. #SacredCow #Vegan #Carnivore #Paleo
Producing meat fast and cheap comes at a high (moral) price. #SavredCow #vegan #paleo #Carnivore

Is the key to #sauropod neck position and high browsing capabilities in their butts (actually, their sacra)? Today, we publish @SciReports how sacra may be key in sauropod evolution. #Paleoart: #Spinophorosaurus and indet. #theropod by Diego Cobo. #thread #science #paleo 1/n
First, I must say this was the first paper I wrote out of my last 3, and it was the first submitted as well. So I am very glad to see it seeing light after almost 2 years since I wrote the first draft. Here's the link rdcu.be/b3FpJ 2/n
Everything started when I assembled the virtual neck of the Spinophorosaurus holotype in 2015-16. Since it is one of the few known complete and well-preserved sauropod necks, it was a good specimen to test whether previous analyses held true 3/n

In honor of #NationalFossilDay today, #EarthCube celebrates some of its #paleo domain projects - partnerships among geoscientists, software engineers, & data experts to develop practices and software tools to help answer critical science questions.

Roughly chronologically:
.#EarthCube started with a set of @NSF_GEO funded workshops, hosted by leading geoscientists with end users in their own fields, to first gather science needs. Result: priorities for critical questions in 24 domains + overall summary. Paleogeoscience here: earthcube.org/sites/default/…
@NSF_GEO Priorities coming out of the 2013 end-user workshop went into a 2015 @NSF RCNetwork, Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeosciences (C4P), to share community info, recommend best practices, work with repositories, and inform tool development. Summary: earthcube.org/sites/default/…

Thread: YES, MEAT IS SAFE & HEALTHY

Besides being a 'pharmakon', meat is also a 'pharmakos' (scapegoat). As the most symbolic of all foods & as a predilected carrier of meaning, it acts as an adsorbent of societal anxieties. Often presented as scientific 'truth'.

Not.

1/n
There is something seriously rotten in contemporary nutrition. The entire chain-of-proof is no longer based on the scientific method but is profoundly corrupted by vested interests and ideological dogma.

Cf. my paper on meat in the post-truth era: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

2/n
Except for the Daily Mail-like headlines, it all looks pretty convincing. The meat-is-bad narrative is now supported by official institutions such as the WHO and the AICR. Which seems to end all debate.

But wait a minute...
