Ginger’s Dip

March 23, 2005 | No Comments | Uncategorized

  • 1 Acocado
  • 1/2 Pound Precooked Tofu
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
  • salt and pepper
  • pinch basil
  • Once it is cold, mix the tofu and the avocado, either by chopping very very finely or through a blender. The blender option is more reliable since it’ll give a more consistent result. The Olive oil and lemon juice mix should me added slowly to make sure the mixture is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste but remember that this will be eaten with chips which often contain high quantites of salt, so overseasoning is risky. If you want a stunning alternative to guacamole for dips and salads and the like, this is the recipe to try because it’s healthy and tastes amazing and is also shockingly simple and easy to prepare.

Sweeping up chickens

March 6, 2005 | No Comments | Uncategorized

This has to be one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. There’s a system out there made by a company called “Bright Coop” that essentially uses the theory behind street sweepers – large brushes the whizz around and throw debris into a collecting sack – and transplanted it for use with factory farmed chicken.
See the birds fly down the conveyor belt, their heads and wings flailing as they’re whisked on their way. Watching this feels like having ’shame for being a carnivor’ stamped onto one’s head.

In other news…

We must protect world cabbage prices, a critical issue because of the ‘mountains’ of stockpile cabbage(!):

“It is proven that the previous measures of government controlling all market behaviours, from production, sales to consumption, result in low effectiveness. Farmers, together with other economic players, have suffered a lot under such a system.

From this perspective, the price of cabbage, the same as other commodities, should be decided by the yield and the farmers should take the market risks. The government’s interference in pricing might lead to a waste of resources.

Then, how to deal with the mountains of cabbage stockpiled at farms?”
