Over the past week, jumped with joy several times at the ways in which #BEEFNetflix beautifully understood and portrayed the nuances of underlying rage, Korean men rage, shame, assimilation, Korean church culture, talking to your inner child, self-acceptance..1/
..class divides, socio-economic divides, Orientalism, kindred spirits, trauma bonding, family codependency, honor/shame culture, religiosity, and mental health. Many of us were planning IG Lives, streaming, podcasts, talks and furiously group texting each other. 2/
Then, the conversation shifted. Instead of focusing on all the amazing richness in each of the ten 30-minute episodes, it was overshadowed, then overpowered by the recirculation of David Choe’s 2014 podcast episode where he casually bragged about sexually assaulting a masseuse 3/

Vocês devem ter notado que fiquei levemente obcecada pela série #Treta, da A24 disponível na Netflix, já que só falo disso nos últimos dias. Andei pesquisando sobre os bastidores e produção e descobri algumas curiosidades e referências bem legais de se compartilhar:
Uma bem legal é que o David Choe, o Isaac da série, também é artista e é quem fez todas as artes de abertura, sempre de acordo com a compreensão dele de cada episódio.
I’ve *never* seen a film portray this feeling in an evangelical church service this accurately (not even in Christian films). Steven Yeun grew up evangelical Christian and you can really see the experience of that in this performance.
I forgot to mention that this is from the new Netflix show #BEEF. Also, highly recommend reading this GQ interview with Steven from a few years back where he talks a little more about his childhood upbringing. gq.com/story/steven-y…
I love that they used a Chris Tomlin cover but also loved that they originally almost used a Bethel song 💀

Forgetting non-stun processes for a moment, most know that the majority of slaughterhouses in Australia use "stunning" (the rendering of the animal insensible). In fact, this is the basis upon which slaughter of animals is heralded as "humane". But do you know what the failure… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Field study estimates of efficacy of bolt gun stunning for cows vary from 2% to 0.1% failure (including those found by a revered consultant to the Meat and Livestock industry, Dr Temple Grandin).

First day lunch in Bangkok was Chicken Rice from @BoonTongKee_TH and a burger from Bun Meat & Cheese. Both in The Commons Saladang. Both delicious 😋
Can’t visit Bangkok and not go straight to @MK_Restaurants and get the mixed plate of crispy pork, red pork and roast duck!
Crab wonton and red pork soup at @TERMINAL21asok food court and also a plate of roast duck, crispy pork and red pork. Got two portions minus rice for 80bath. Super cheap food court! #Bangkok #food #foodblogger

GWP* vs GWP100 better describes how #methane emissions impact the climate. Using GWP100 overestimates the warming impact of constant CH4 emissions by 3-4 times.
AND GWP100 misses climate benefits with decreasing emissions.
AND undersells warming when CH4 emissions rise.

Why is GWP* important? From the paper: GWP* emphasizes CH4 reductions can only contribute meaningfully to limiting climate change, as long as CO2 hits net-zero.
GWP* shows the true benefits w/ CH4 cuts. Making the work farmers/ranchers are doing to cut CH4 more significant. 3/

Would reducing red meat consumption in Canada do more hard than good? A thread: (1/13)
@epicurious, @FoodSystems, @EATforum – you’ve heard it multiple places: ‘We must reduce meat consumption for climate change, the environment, to reduce our dietary carbon footprints.’ However, what could the implications of this be for #Canada? (2/13)
In a recent @CBCNews article, a researcher suggested that reducing beef consumption by 25% would result in a reduction of livestock related emissions of 10%. Sounds good, but… (3/13)
Here's the Michigan University study that came up in the recent (overblown) #Biden/#beef controversy: css.umich.edu/sites/default/… What would the carbon footprint reduction be when Americans would reduce beef intake with 90% (VERY hypothetical)?
Let's look at the numbers... THREAD👇
Let's look at the numbers... THREAD👇
Here are the scenarios (converted to yearly data):

- additional reduction of beef to 10% = ?
- baseline: Americans diets = 1.8 tCO2-eq/p/y
- halving animal foods = ?
- additional reduction of beef to 10% = ?
Here are the predicted savings (per person, per year):
- halving animal foods = 1.2 t CO2-eq/p/y --> -0.6 t
- + beef restriction (to 10%) = 0.9 t --> -0.9 t
- halving animal foods = 1.2 t CO2-eq/p/y --> -0.6 t

If you’re watching the #Amazon burn and worry about the environment, and if you wonder about #beef and why it is in the news re the environment often, and you’d like to know our view on this then this is the thread for you ...
Climate change and a biodiversity catastrophe are two of the biggest challenges that we face, and the way we think about food, agriculture and, specifically, meat as consumers and as a society is a massive part of that.
It’s true that beef production can be worse for the environment than the production of other foods, especially when those animals are intensively fed with grains and when deforestation occurs to meet demand, which is on the rise globally.

It is no exaggeration that entire enterprises, for example poultry production, could be unviable if the AHDB predictions are correct as @RCorbettMEP notes. This is a problem because, in Shropshire @BBCShropshire poultry accounts for 86% of all cattle and livestock. /3
