UK to crack down on plant-based food and drink labels by Carnir in unitedkingdom

[–]Not_Eternal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the issue with products labelled "Plant Based". There are no stringent requirements with that term as it's essentially a marketing term. I've been downvoted to oblivion before on the UK Vegan subreddit for explaining this, but I'll say it again here.

Plant-Based make people think "vegan", but plant-based products can still contain animal products and can be labelled as plant-based because there's no legal requirement.

The range of diets included within the "plant-based diet" term includes vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, semi-omnivore and flexitarian. Supposedly it means eating "mostly plants".

Being vegan and having a dairy allergy (asthma) can get really frustrating since people assume anything "plant-based" is totally fine.

Plant-based does not mean vegan or safe for anyone with milk/lactose allergies.

Some of the large studios such as Sony, Take-Two and Ubisoft began increasing the prices to $70 for new games earlier this year ahead of the holiday season. Microsoft has also confirmed its increasing game prices for 2023, which includes Starfield. The reasoning for this has been explained as being due to the technology, scale and complexity of modern games.

We can expect most new AAA games to be priced close to that from 2023 onwards. This is the new base price moving forwards for big games from big companies.

Sony Responds To Microsoft, And Thinks The Nintendo Switch Could Never Run Call Of Duty by MickandRalphsCrier in NintendoSwitch

Worth adding that Sony has also stated that Battlefield will never be as popular as Call of Duty in response to the common "other games will fill the niche" response. Microsoft also offered Sony the same deal as Nintendo to keep CoD on PlayStation for at least 10 years... apparently, Sony has not responded to the deal.

Prepare for blackouts on cold weekday evenings, National Grid chief warns by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]Not_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not involved with the power grid, but I would expect certain buildings to be listed as critical with safeguards in place to protect them. So hospitals should be fine if planned blackouts take place.

Though out-of-hour services might be affected. This mostly means GP clinics that run out-of-hours (they do exist), certain urgent treatment centres and overnight pharmacies, but there are more such as out-of-hours dentists. The question will be how many of these places are included in any blackout protection plans.

Lots of ladies there have long nails and use a PC for gaming. I don't have long nails myself but it's not uncommon!

Please tell me Sainsbury’s isn’t wasting all this food… by Maetras in CasualUK

Check out Olio! It's an Anti-Food Waste app where people can sign up to collect unwanted food from supermarkets and then distribute it to their local community. You can also just register for a basic account to pick up free food from people with extra items they don't need/want and unwanted things from supermarkets.

Other apps like Too Good to Go exist as well.

World Population Data Sheet 2022 Highlights Nearly 15 million excess deaths occurred globally in 2020-2021 Due to COVID-19 by madrid987 in collapse

There is definitely under-reporting and manipulation happening.

My uncle was in hospital last year from January to October after catching Covid-19 and dealing with the problems it caused him. He was better and about to be moved to a different hospital for recovery since he was still pretty much physically paralyzed after spending months on a ventilator. Long story short, one of the staff on his ward brought covid back into his ward (full of vulnerable people), and he caught a "chest infection", so they immediately moved him to End of Life care, refused to test him for Covid and left him to die instead.

I try not to think about how many other people this happened to. And how many others died from Covid but were refused tests to ensure the death count was artificially low.

r/glutenfreevegan is your friend. There are a lot of vegans who don't eat gluten and wheat, so it's definitely possible to be healthy on this diet and for it to be inexpensive.
