The aim, apparently, is to shame and harass people into buying the vegeburgers they aren't voluntarily buying, and thus make the Weather Gods less angry in 2100 AD. Fortunately, in the trial, 90% of would-be meat-eaters just ignored the label and chose the meat anyhow. This must have disappointed the new prohibitionists.
Climate labels similar to cigarette packet warnings could cut meat consumptionJudging by the blatant comparison to cigarette smokers, the aim is not so much to connect the supposed cause and effect of climate change, but mostly to tar meat eaters with the same social opprobrium. After all, if the academics just wanted to raise awareness of the so-called "science", they could write Beef causes Droughts, or Burgers cause Bushfires or Chicken-sticks melt the Arctic. But since that sounds so stupid, because it is, they can't connect those dots. What they need instead are the catastrophic photos of a landscape that looks like lung cancer. It's the feeling that matters — a feeling like leprosy.
The Conversation
To gauge the impact of graphic warning labels on the number of people opting for meat, we split participants into four groups. One group saw a warning label beneath the meat option depicting a deforested area and the phrase "eating meat contributes to climate change". Another group saw the meat option labelled with an image of a man having a heart attack and the text "eating meat contributes to poor health". A third group saw a label below the meat option depicting caged animals in a wet market, alongside "eating meat contributes to pandemics". The final group saw the four meal options with no labels.
When no warning label was presented, participants chose the meat options about two out of three times (64%). This figure dropped to 54% with the pandemic warning labels, 55% with the health warning labels and 57% with the climate warning labels.
The message is "People buying these sausages are selfish, stupid people".
As a bonus, the labels are also free-advertising for The Cause — it would create government funded reminders all over the shop that "climate change " needs fixing (give us your taxes, your heaters and your cars!).
These food labels are also adverts that pretend the UN is still respected and useful.
The left always go too far. Because there is no principle, just a fashion contest, more is always better - right up until it breaks.
Our mission is to reach the other ten percent who might give up their meat and help them...

And yet another lie.
Its been in there now for 2 hours so I just raised the temperature to 225 - there is a threshold there that makes the difference if you happen to know the boiling temperature of H2O. 218 F roughly - 100 C precisely because it is what defines the Celsius temperature scale by definition.
( please be aware - elevation can affect the boiling point of water - cause elevation affects pressure and the boiling point reference I believe is based upon sea level...chemical engineers usually are pretty aware of the need to consider variables like temperature and pressure in any closed system )
Begs the question thought - 1 atmosphere of pressure you say - measured where I query?
More than likely at sea level.
Want to bet?

OK, what the eff is PMSL - I know what PMS is, but what is PMSL? I think it is a fancy acronym for sea level.
Do you want to bet on that?

The point of this rambling is everything has a reference and meat is tasty when cooked slowly to keep the juices in...
Next time I'll know better - but twas just a pork tenderloin and we had some Worchester sauce...it was drier than desired but still yummy.

Man - what a clusterfuck the "world" at large is today.

I like cooking and if you ever meet a chemical engineer who doesn't like cooking, I put forth they most likely are not a very good chemical engineer.
Still - it don't take an engineering degree to know how to cook and first-hand experience is best and being self-sufficient is a skill-set invaluable and therefore Animanarchy - I believe you have skills of value! I mean - based on what you have typed seems evident.
Anyhow, as long as the state of New York doesn't completely lose its mind as it seems on the way to doing, I'll be there on April 8, 2024 in the ribbon of the total eclipse and wouldn't it be wonderful if we met face-to-face?
I'm easy to find and I'll know if it is you, and if is, I'll tell you where we can meet up.
Till then - stay safe cause Canada is effed - the Maple Leaf seems to have been lost to nefarious forces now so entrenched that Canada might have it the worst of all when Civil War erupts.
Seems that is the fate for North America you want my humble opinion.
Best to you,
Ken
Yeah, Canada is going the way of the dodo.
Good song imo by an English band The Streets - Way of the Dodo

Best to you,
Ken
ps- the tenderloin - which I know you would have eaten raw is just stewing in its juices now.....waiting to be consumed!
tis pork tenderloin - hmm, hmm good
Don't forget - 4824.
C u then!

What a Roman Saturnalia Shit Show….
