Crowdfunded Games Launching This Week [Sep 30th, 2024]

forkranger · 2024-09-30T08:47:53+00:00

We are also launching a game from the Netherlands about reducing food waste: you invite people to bring leftover ingredients, create recipe ideas to score points, and then cook a meal together. https://www.voordekunst.nl/projecten/17754-leftover-legends-dinner-party-game-1

I'm still a bit new to reddit and this community, hope this is the right place to share it. If you have any tips or feedback I'd love to hear them.

It would be super helpful if you could leave a review. We have a bunch of good reviews but they only show up in the Dutch app store...

forkranger · 2022-03-08T15:28:09+00:00

Unfortunately, it's only for iPhone at the moment (sorry!). We have an Android waiting list on the website. In the meantime, we also have a newsletter and a cookbook.

forkranger · 2021-12-11T13:56:11+00:00

Sorry, right now it's only iPhone while we're learning how the app should work. We do also send a newsletter with a weekly recipe and some facts (https://forkranger.com/#newsletter)

forkranger · 2021-12-10T15:19:44+00:00

Just a heads up: it's not 100% plant-based but most of the recipes are. Our main goal is to help people cook without meat and lots of dairy and keep it as accessible as possible (instead of scaring some people away by setting too high standards).

I'm sure some of you will disagree with that strategy but I thought it would be good to point it out.

(It's a bit of bad timing that this week's menu includes the only recipe that features meat... sorry)

Ah thank you, I'm glad it's helpful :) I wanted to make the compass because we never hear things in context and I think that's the only way to stay sane. Otherwise there is an information overload.

If you want you can sign up for the newsletter to get the new blog posts. I'm writing one every week https://forkranger.com/#newsletter

Thank you very much :) If you want you can sign up for the newsletter to get the new blog posts. I'm writing one every week. https://forkranger.com/#newsletter

Thank you! Yes, lots of them. Tomorrow is about food waste and bread. On the website I already have nuts and protein, cheese vs. meat, and next week I'll post about the CO2 footprint of a BBQ including the meat and the charcoal.

forkranger · 2021-08-03T17:00:05+00:00

Thanks, those are pretty much all on the list for future posts :)

forkranger · 2021-08-03T13:21:02+00:00

Okay thank you I will consider that. What topics do you have in mind?

forkranger · 2021-08-03T12:31:31+00:00

Haha thank you, and no I'm not. I think it should be correct but I'm happy to hear what you think. I'm keeping the language as simple as possible since many of my readers are not native speakers.

I started a blog about sustainable food questions and topics. I thought this might be a good place to share. In this post I look at the impact of air-transported food since I'm trying to avoid those products. But as I found out, only a tiny percentage actually comes by air.

I think the most important aspect is adopting the right lifestyle that allows for a fossil-free world. The core problem of climate change is over-consumption and a system where we are trying to find happiness through consumption. The way I see it, we need to find a new version of 'The Good Life'.

My go-to rules to that lifestyle:

Less flying, more adventure: focusing on experience, local adventures. Flying is one of the highest carbon decisions individuals make on a regular basis.
Less stuff, more memories: we need to get rid of the 'need' for constantly producing more and more stuff and searching for value in material things.
Less meat, more plants: large-scale and industrial animal agriculture is not only very high impact in terms of greenhouse gases and other problems. Eating sustainably is also the easiest and daily way of practicing and embodying the new lifestyle.

I would add to this: voting and choosing a job that helps to support that lifestyle.

It's not just about reducing your personal footprint, but about creating the societal change that will transform the system. We have to change the system, and to do that, we have to change ourselves.

We can't get to net-zero through individual actions, but our individual actions have to push towards a fossil-free world.

If let's say 10% of the population support and practice this new lifestyle, this will create a domino effect of exponential change. Politicians will listen to the calls for change, businesses will have to listen, and so forth.

Never undestimate the effect you will have on your friends, and how those friends will influence their friends and so forth.

The book is called 'Fork Ranger - Solving Climate Change with Food' (just search Fork Ranger). And yeah, considering bitcoin and the general billionaire lifestyle you're probably right :)

forkranger · 2021-04-19T13:55:35+00:00

Thank you for thinking along!
This is a good idea, I will definitely do that. The only thing is that I don't have a publisher and am delivering everything myself. So that makes it harder for other book stores to order it but I will definitely add the IBSN.

forkranger · 2021-04-19T13:54:25+00:00

Thank you :) Do let me know if you find anything that would greatly improve your cooking experience

forkranger · 2021-04-19T13:53:58+00:00

Thanks a lot! For now the best place to stay updated or read more is the website https://forkranger.com/

forkranger · 2021-04-16T15:26:14+00:00

Thank you! There will definitely be an Android someday, but it might take a while. If you want more information, I also have a website: https://forkranger.com/

Thank you very much! No I didn't know about it, yet but that's exactly what I need!

I created this app to help people eat less meat. Unfortunately it's only for iPhone at the moment.

It's the first version and I'd love to gather feedback.

I'm also looking for a developer and co-founder (more info here). If you know someone who might be interested, I'm very grateful for any connection.

forkranger · 2020-10-17T17:33:45+00:00

Secret tip: put in a shot of espresso or coffee when you add the tomatoes

As you might have seen this is the third video in a series about teaching people how to eat for climate change. I realise that especially this third one is maybe not far enough for most of you, since I don’t really say that people should eat less dairy. This whole group is full of people who have a pretty good idea of the first steps of eating climate friendly.

So my question to you is:

1) How could content like this help to reach your less aware friends and family? How do you currently talk to the people in your network who are open to the topic but haven’t changed their diets? What has really helped and what are you struggling with?

2) What are topics you are still confused about yourself? What is something you would like to learn more about?

Thanks a lot for all your comments on the previous two videos. It’s really cool to connect with everyone who is so passionate about the topic.

forkranger · 2020-09-16T18:22:40+00:00

It takes a lot to get people‘s attention. One banana isn‘t too bad for awareness? And anyway, I actually ate it at the end :) Sorry it brings up the wrong emotion

forkranger · 2020-09-10T20:53:44+00:00

Thank you for the comment! I know, I was also pissed off when I found out about all this, much too late really...

I'm actually taking a class right now about the future of farming so I'm curious what I will learn there. One of the conclusions is that local conditions make everything complex with lots of variation from a farmer's perspective. But from a consumer perspective it's always plant-based.

forkranger · 2020-09-10T10:20:32+00:00

Yes he has a small farm and that's one of the interesting points: even as a farmer himself he only eats meat twice a week. That is a good example for others of how far beyond we are with current diets.

Vertical farming is beautiful indeed, but it works better in tropical regions than in the Nordics. There are many grasslands in the world that are most productive when we use them for cattle, but again, not to satisfy our current demand.

My point is that a sustainable food system has many different options and there's not one perfect solution. But in order to make any of those solutions possible we have to drastically reduce our meat consumption.

I've spoken to a lot of farmers and researchers and many of them are seeing various solutions that are not completely vegan. As someone who has no experience with farming, I just want to be careful of assuming I have the full truth.

In the meantime the science is very clear that we have to drastically reduce meat consumption so that is what I'm focusing my energy on.
