As a vegan, I'm looking for sources of iodine. I've read a few comments on various threads suggesting that the iodine in iodised salt 'evaporates in just weeks after packing' and also some saying that you would have to eat a ton to get recommended amounts. Any help mucho appreciated!
It's for making prosciutto.
Domestic cats (felis catus) are an invasive species. Free-ranging domestic cats impact biodiversity through predation, disturbance, competition, disease and hybridisation. Scientific knowledge regarding these impacts has recently increased.
This is just one of the reasons why there is an ever-growing movement of vegans who have taken to eating cats - to protect biodiversity.
"But vegans don't eat animals, and cats are animals!"
It's true that abstaining from all forms of animal flesh is usually associated with being vegan, but there are a few problems with trying to live like this. Firstly, obtaining B12 naturally through plant foods alone is difficult, so many vegans choose to take a supplement. Supplements are unnatural (unless taken via cow's milk fortified with vitamin D, iodine and vitamin A; food grown in soil fortified with selenium and cobalt; cereals fortified with folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, calcium and vitamin D; iodised salt; bread fortified with iron; products from animals raised on feed fortified with vitamin D, omega-3, selenium, zinc, iodine, vitamin E, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and copper) so it's not a good idea to supplement B12 and you're much safer getting it from a cat. That's not the only nutrient cats are useful for either, as they're also a good source of protein, iron and calcium.
Secondly, it seems rather presumptuous to think that consuming plants instead of cats increases utility. Plants are living beings who therefore can probably suffer pain and have thoughts and desires to live and experience things. Cats on the other hand, well, how can we really know if they feel pain or want to live? Ever asked a cat how they're feeling and got an answer? No, with the knowledge we have it's probably safer to assume there's less suffering and less rights violations occurring when I eat one cat rather than eat a plate of several different plants.
There's more benefits to eating cats. Unlike conventionally eaten animals, cats are not intensively farmed. There is next to no environmental footprint of you walking outside right now, finding the nearest cat, and humanely bagging them and bringing them home. There's also somehing to be said about eating a meal that you know was truly free-range. Lots of cats are strays, so no one will miss them, and if they were someone's cat I want you to think about this - that family was probably going to have that cat euthanized one day, so by eating them you've robb

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
When baking, if the recipe just says 'salt' and doesn't specify whether it's kosher salt or not what kind of salt should you use?
This might sound like a stupid question but regular iodized table salt is denser therefore saltier than kosher salt and kosher salt doesn't dissolve as easily. When I'm cooking I always use kosher salt regardless of whether it specifies or not but I don't know if you can always do this when baking?
Do your worst!
It's relatively hard to get potassium chloride and magnesium sulphate where I live. I am about to order some online, but it might take 3-5 days for delivery.
However I want to get started on my fast immediately, so I've made some "semi-Snake Juice" to keep me going until I can source the missing ingredients. This includes water, iodised salt (sodium chloride, potassium iodate), and bi carb soda (sodium bicarbonate).
How long can I safely fast without the missing ingredients?
EDIT: Cole confirms that "you can [...] go a while without 'em".
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
It was a big misunderstanding between me and my wife and now I have this problem
The fermentation only lasted 4 days and since then nothing is happening. I removed all the brine and I used one with normal salt but I think it's too late because no bubbling so far. What should I do?
I started the fermentation 14 days ago
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
