Because it’s what the masses want. He has huge popular support and a proven track record of success. I imagine there is some element of justice involved for the people since he was supposed to get another term but got couped which is the only reason we got Arce
She posted a separate post about wanting to do that… Maybe not the best question
Ahh okay lol they love their technicalities
Didn’t @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net say it was getting replaced?
So anyway I started oblasting 
You said there is nothing stating arsenic is dangerous, which is false. No amount of heavy metal exposure is safe. These products contain heavy metals, including cadmium. The reason no amount is safe is because it accumulates in the body and can’t be removed, and it accumulates from a variety of sources both known and unknown. It is especially dangerous for children, but adults also get heavy metal poisoning. You presented this as if everything is fine, nothing to see here and that isn’t the case. You also said the majority leaches into water which is thrown away, which is false.
Rinsing before cooking does not reduce arsenic amounts. If you soak it over night and dump that it will help, especially if agitated during the soaking, but the research cited in this article explicitly says rinsing without at least a 30 min soak doesn’t do it. The best method is to cook one cup of rice : 6-10 cups of water and then draining that water, adding fresh water and finishing the cooking
No amount of heavy metal exposure is healthy and this is just one of the many ways people are exposed to it. Limiting potential exposure, especially in children under two, is pretty serious. Rice is the largest single exposure food of any food type, and for communities that eat rice for multiple meals a day, rice accounts for up to 50% of their children’s exposure to arsenic, not to mention other heavy metals. If switching to a different grain is all it takes to greatly reduce that number, it seems pretty silly to hand wave the research.
In a world where exposure to heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics, formaldehyde and other dangerous substances is both a daily occurrence and being monitored less rigorously by the state organizations designed to keep exposure low, it’s definitely good to be aware that staple foods which billions rely on every day can be settings kids up for a lifetime of adverse health outcomes. Edit: also want to add that consistently getting covid fucks your immune system too so adding all the virus and sickness we are collectively dealing with to carcinogens and heavy metal exposure… It’s just good to limit what you can when you can
Edit: also, who throws away rice water? You steam the rice in the water which is absorbed by the rice. The article suggests cooking rice like pasta and tossing the water to reduce arsenic but to suggest most people already do this is absolutely false
Yeah of course
Definitely adventurism but finally one that was thought out enough to both serve as a great rallying issue for the disaffected masses as well as strike enough fear into the targeted company that it sent them into a tailspin. As communists, adventurism isn’t one of our tactics but this is a rare case of it being a relatively effective tactic
I won’t do anything about anyone else, but if you come for me, I might try to stop you.
Yeah absolutely vile thing to do, especially because by the time they started that it was already clear it wouldn’t help their bargaining position
Because the federal government will be cool with it and use it as a blueprint
Here comes the babushka brigades
You may have explained it before, but why does Yemen send so few rockets at a time? It seems like the best option would be to send many at different targets and push the zio’s ability to intercept them to the max
Oh wow didn’t expect a proud turbo lib to be using the capitalist innovation line in such a way. the turbo libs I know don’t fall for that one anymore.
They might be calling the housing bubble in China a “housing crisis?” It isn’t a crisis of people being homeless but investing in housing and losing trillions of yuan collectively
So why does this guy think this? How does his argument work out? I’m genuinely interested because it is so unfathomable to me that I can’t comprehend how he could come to the conclusion that lower drug prices is bad
Sorry but I don’t really see how this quote of yours is much different from what I paraphrased.
You did say reducing is good but that was one line couched in a lot of language implying that this article should be disregarded and you said that rice is fine and that heavy metals in rice is normal. While it is true that heavy metals can be found in foods sometimes, I don’t think implying that this study should be disregarded is ideal, and if you didn’t mean to imply that, it did come off that way to me.
They do talk about this and encourage people to do it, but I really don’t think it is a common cooking method to use 6-10 cups of water per cup of rice and dump the water out. I come from a rice eating culture and married into a different one, I’ve worked in restaurants, I’ve never heard of anyone doing this. It is certainly not a “common cooking method.”
I’m not trying to be combative or anything, I just saw your comment as the only one and got a totally different read from the piece and didn’t want the default comment people read to be “nothing to see here folks,” which is what it looked like to me. I know too many kids and adults who have gotten heavy metal poisoning, among the myriad other unnecessary and avoidable health risks people face, to see that and not offer another perspective
