Fake fish enters the plant-based market; Long John Silver’s, Whole Foods lead the charge

The two offerings developed by subsidiary Good Catch are available at fast food chain Long John Silver’s for a limited time, in locations across California and Georgia. Meanwhile, the company also has a partnership with Whole Foods, Amazon’s (AMZN) upscale grocery.  Fake fish isn’t anything new, as imitation shellfish, primarily for people with allergies, has been a grocery store staple for years.  Yet Gathered Foods is blazing a commercial trail recently created by plant-based purveyors like Beyond Meat (BYND) and Impossible Foods. Their products have debuted in well-known chains like Panda Express, KFC, Burger King, Starbucks (SBUX) and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Once again, Republicans are scapegoating Mexicans for US woes | Miami Herald – Mexican migrants aren’t spreading COVID in the U.S. No, Republicans are doing that

Now that they’ve been proven wrong with their ridiculous claims that President Biden is a Socialist, and that the stock market would collapse, and that the U.S. economy would plummet under Biden’s administration, former President Trump and his right-wing followers are reverting to their original playbook: racism.

“If you have had COVID-19 before, please still get vaccinated,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. “This study shows you are twice as likely to get infected again if you are unvaccinated.

Russia May Be Spreading Vaccine Misinformation to Undermine Efforts to Immunize People – Slashdot

Both Russia and China have worked to promote their own vaccines through messaging that undermines American and European vaccination programs, according to the State Department’s Global Engagement Center. But in addition to overt messaging promoting their own vaccines, Moscow has also spread conspiracy theories. Last year, the department began warning about how Russia was using fringe websites to promote doubts around vaccinations… The aim of various Russian groups continues to be to exacerbate tensions in Western societies, a key foreign policy goal of Moscow, according to American officials briefed on the disinformation efforts… Source: Russia May Be Spreading Vaccine Misinformation to Undermine Efforts to Immunize People – Slashdot

¿Qué fue de nuestros perfumes? ¿Qué de la sonrisa que compartimos? ¿Qué de nuestra historia y de la gente y las cosas que vimos pasar? ¿Qué de las gotas de lluvia que mojaron nuestras cabezas y sentimos delizar en la piel? ¿Qué de los capítulos que vivimos y de nuestros sueños, esperanzas e ilusiones? ¿Dónde quedamos nosotros, los de apenas hace unos días, los de entonces, los del ayer? ¿Dónde están el deleite y el encanto de nuestros encuentros y desencuentros, de los juegos, de las palabras y los silencios, de los romances, de las compañías y las soledades? ¿Dónde quedaron las letras de los poemas y de las odiseas, los matices de los lienzos, la música de los pianos, las arpas y los violines? ¿Dónde permanecen las imágenes que reflejaron los espejos, las lagunas y los charcos? ¿Dónde…

A lei tem sido de grande importância para a mulher porque deu visibilidade a um problema sério, e que provocava muita inquietação, onde se percebia que a mulher sofria violência, mas suportava calada, ou havia punição para o agressor, mas está, era branda. Então, essa lei veio na verdade, descortinar, uma realidade que é a violência e, ao mesmo tempo, a não negociação…
