Plant based foods people claim are unethical/not vegan/proof vegans are bad/ whatever, ordered by least to most " legitimate".
Quinoa-One news article said foreigners buying quinoa would make a staple crop inaccessible to locals, this is stupid cause we grow crops to meet demand, also being from the Andes Quinoa grows in temperate places as well as potatoes do. Also, the locals already transitioned to a western diet.
Agave- The Greater long nosed bat is an endangered species that relies partially but not exclusively on Agave plants for nectar. Agave or "century" plants are long lived and die after blooming. They are mainly grown and harvested before flowering for Tequila production. a very small amount of wild agave in harvested for bootleg mescal in some regions. The main threats of the bats are habitat loss to agriculture, roost disturbance, and persecution as mistaken for vampire bats. If anything, the agave is threatened by a shortage of bats.
Figs- the inside of a fig consists of flowers that are pollinated by a fig-wasp, which lay their eggs in figs. Female wasps go on to lay eggs in other figs while males are trapped inside and are digested inside the fig. wild wasps obviously aren't harmed by fig harvest. and most fig trees grown today don't rely on pollination too fruit.
Cashew-The outside of a raw cashew contains a shell that contains anacardic acid, a major skin irritant. Workers are exposed to it when the outer shell is peeled before the cashews are cooked. workers are sometimes given gloves but not always, the only mentions of slave-labor I could find in the Cashew industry involved prisoners.
Palm oil- Palm oil has been the main crop behind the deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia in the 21st century, but considering Indonesia's population size and rapid industrialization, the deforestation feels almost inevitable. Is far from the best oil (look at pongame oil trees, or algae) but it produces more calories per land area than the most dominant competitors like canola/corn/soy/coconut/olive etc. Additionally, though trace amounts of Palm oil may show up in many western products, it is mainly being used as a cooking oil in Asia.
Soybeans- Occasionally I'll see someone (presumably British) jump to soy as an example of an exotic food that is harmful cause it's imported. As an American I find this surreal cause soy is a boring standard crop, the second largest in land use after corn, mainly grown as the default legume for nitrogen fixation, but I understand an export market means an import market somewhere else. additionally, over 3/4s of soy is fed to livestock. Soy production alongside cattle ranching are major drivers of Amazon deforestation, but again most is fed to livestock. It also has a higher yield per acre than beans, peas or peanuts.
Rice- Rice is sometimes considered a major source of agricultural emissions, Rice is one of the most important crops, and the still water it grows in is a source of methane as anaerobic bacteria decompose matter. Since wetlands are generally considered better at carbon capture than dry land, I question rice farms net impact compared to other crops, and rice produces more tons per acre than wheat (though admittedly less than corn), so it is unclear.
Tea- tea is a very labor-intensive crop as young leaves are harvested by hand by workers, and slavery seems relatively common in the tea industry. having people walk through thick shrubbery, reaching hands in bushes, is a recipe for wildlife conflict. Leopard attacks on and venomous snake bites on tea plantations are an issue. However, all the tea in the west is just the powder at the bottom from actual tea production for the Asian market. so, it doesn't increase demand.
Chocolate/Coffee (not counting Kopi-Luwak)- I am lumping these two together because they are broadly similar in many ways. Both have very high carbon footprints, land use, and eutrophying emissions per Kg of food produced compared to other plant-based foods. both are primarily grown in former tropical forests, both contain high levels of caffeine and are neither produce nor staple crops, and both are well known to have very high rates of child labor and slavery in them for anyone paying attention. Thankfully these problems are well known enough that many certification schemes (Fair Trade, Rainforest alliance certified, bird friendly coffee, etc.) that can be used to guide purchases. If anything, I would prioritize coffee over chocolate because 1) assuming your already Vegan you're already selecting for higher end dark chocolate/specialty vegan chocolate that is likely better in other ways and 2) I am assuming most people consume more coffee than chocolate.
Almonds- 55% of the world's almonds are grown in the US. Almonds are sometimes scapegoated for water shortages, but Animal agriculture is far the main driver, and all nut trees are very water thirsty. Almonds need hot dry climates but the same is true of pistachios. More interesting is bees. only 2.9% of captive honeybee hives are in the US. 40.8% of Beekeeper profit in the US is from pollination service, with 82.2% of that coming from Almonds. Almonds may contribute more to bee exploitation per serving than other crops. avocados, blueberries, blackberries, canola, cocoa, cranberries, cherries, cucumbers, honey dew melons, kiwis, pears, pumpkins, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelons, among many others, are also pollinated by managed honeybees. because American honeybees are such a small share of the global population, and the share of Almonds grown in the US is so high compared to other crops, I do believe, but only with a low degree of confidence, almonds are worse for honeybees than the average honeybee pollinated crop. The good news is between new self-fertilizing verities catching on, pollination being 5% of an almond producer's production costs, pollinating machines, and native bee conservation measures, the importance of honeybees to almond production will likely gradually diminish.
Coconut- It seems that kidnapped wild southern pig-tailed macaques are used to produce nearly all coconuts in Thailand, being used as labor picking coconuts. The practice is likely present in other Southeast Asian countries as an American practically all coconut products I could readily access come from Latin America, but it's something it would be a good idea for Old Wolders to be aware of.

 Health Benefits of Eating Cashews
Cashews, a popular tree nut, are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to a balanced diet. Let’s delve into the various health benefits of Cashews, supported by scientific research.
Tumblr media
 Nutritional Profile of Cashews
To fully appreciate the health benefits of cashews, understanding their nutritional composition is essential. A one-ounce (28-gram) serving of raw cashews provides:
- Calories: 157
- Protein: 5 grams
- Fat: 12 grams (mainly unsaturated fats)
- Carbohydrates: 9 grams
- Fiber: 1 gram
- Sugars: 1 gram
Cashews are rich in various vitamins and minerals, including:
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin B6
- Folate
- Thiamin
- Riboflavin
- Niacin
- Pantothenic acid
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Zinc
- Copper
- Manganese
- Selenium
 Heart Health
Cashews are well-known for their heart health benefits. They are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL), thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
 Blood Pressure Regulation
Magnesium in cashews is essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. It helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing hypertension risks. Studies have shown that adequate magnesium intake is associated with lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease.
 Antioxidant Properties
Cashews contain antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium that protect cells from free radical damage, crucial for preventing chronic diseases, including heart disease. These antioxidants help maintain the health of blood vessels and reduce inflammation, further supporting cardiovascular health.
 Weight Management
Despite being calorie-dense, cashews can aid in weight management when consumed in moderation. Their protein, fiber, and healthy fats promote a feeling of fullness, helping to prevent overeating.
Tumblr media
 Metabolism Boost
Cashews are rich in copper and magnesium, essential minerals for energy production and metabolism. These nutrients help convert food into energy more efficiently, supporting overall metabolic health and aiding in weight management efforts.
 Bone Health
Cashews are an excellent source of nutrients vital for maintaining strong and healthy bones, including:
 Magnesium
Magnesium is crucial for bone health as it helps with calcium absorption. Adequate magnesium levels ensure that calcium is effectively utilized, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders.
 Copper
Copper plays a key role in the formation of collagen, a protein that provides structure to bones and connective tissues. It also aids in maintaining bone mineral density.
 Phosphorus
Phosphorus works in conjunction with calcium to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It is essential for bone mineralization and overall skeletal health.
 Eye Health
Cashews contain important antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. These compounds are concentrated in the retina and help protect the eyes from damage caused by blue light and oxidative stress.
 Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Regular consumption of cashews may reduce the risk of AMD, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The antioxidants in cashews help neutralize free radicals and protect the eyes from oxidative damage, a major contributing factor to AMD.
 Immune System Support
Rich in zinc, cashews support the immune system by regulating immune responses, promoting wound healing, and protecting against infections.
 Antimicrobial Properties
Bioactive compounds in cashews, such as anacardic acids, have antimicrobial properties. These compounds can help combat bacterial infections and support overall immune health.
 Blood Sugar Control
Cashews have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels when consumed. This makes them a suitable snack for individuals with diabetes or those managing their blood sugar levels.
 Insulin Sensitivity
Magnesium in cashews improves insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to use glucose more effectively, which can help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes.
 Skin Health
The vitamins and minerals in cashews, especially copper, contribute to healthy skin by supporting collagen and elastin production, which maintain skin elasticity and firmness.
 Antioxidant Protection
Antioxidants in cashews, such as vitamin E and selenium, protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants. They help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by neutralizing free radicals.
 Brain Health
Cashews provide several nutrients that support cognitive function and brain health:
 Healthy Fats
The monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in cashews provide essential fatty acids necessary for maintaining cell membrane integrity and facilitating communication between brain cells.
 Antioxidants
Antioxidants in cashews help protect brain cells from oxidative damage, which is linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Regular consumption of antioxidants can help maintain cognitive function and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline.
 Vitamins and Minerals
Cashews are a good source of vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, all of which play important roles in brain health. These nutrients support neurotransmitter function, energy production, and overall mental clarity.
 Digestive Health
Cashews contain dietary fiber, which is important for maintaining healthy digestion. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements, prevent constipation, and support a healthy gut microbiome.
 Prebiotic Properties
The fiber in cashews acts as a prebiotic, providing food for beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy balance of gut bacteria is essential for optimal digestive health and can help prevent digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
 Conclusion
In summary, cashews offer a wide range of health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any diet. From supporting heart health and weight management to promoting bone health and enhancing cognitive function, the nutrients in cashews contribute to overall well-being. However, it is important to consume cashews in moderation, as they are calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain if eaten in excess. Incorporating a small handful of cashews into your daily diet can provide these health benefits while keeping your calorie intake in check.
Whether you enjoy them as a snack, in salads, or as a creamy base for sauces and desserts, cashews are a versatile and nutritious food that can enhance your health in numerous ways.

Barbeque is a staple in many cultures, loved for its rich, smoky flavors. But did you know that this delicious food could also be a secret greenhouse for space aliens in disguise?
According to a recent study by the National Alien Research Institute (NARI), barbeque is the ideal environment for growing cashews, a popular nut among space aliens. These extraterrestrial beings, who are often on a constant lookout for new food sources, have found that the unique combination of heat, smoke, and spices in barbeque perfectly mimics the climate of their home planet.
Cashews, in particular, thrive in hot and humid conditions, making barbeque pits the perfect place for their growth. The wood-fire heat and smoke provide the perfect amount of warmth and moisture for the nuts to thrive, while the spices used in traditional barbeque rubs add a unique flavor that is irresistible to the aliens.
But why would space aliens even need to grow cashews in the first place? The answer lies in the nuts' versatility. Cashews are a great source of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients, making them a highly nutritious food for the aliens. They can be ground into a creamy paste, sprinkled on top of dishes, or even used to make dairy-free milk. Plus, their unique flavor profile adds a special touch to any dish, making them a sought-after ingredient in many alien cuisines.
Moreover, the barbeque process also helps to remove the toxins in cashews known as anacardic acid, which can be harmful to humans and aliens alike. The high temperatures of the barbeque pit neutralize these toxins, making the cashews safe for consumption.
While humans have been enjoying barbeque for centuries, it seems that space aliens have only recently discovered its benefits. And with the popularity of barbeque growing worldwide, it's no surprise that more and more aliens are frequenting barbeque joints and setting up their own pits to grow their precious cashews.
So, next time you fire up your grill for a barbeque, remember that you may not be alone. Your backyard could be a greenhouse for space aliens, secretly growing their beloved cashews. And who knows, maybe they'll even share their out-of-this-world barbeque recipes with us one day.

Linalool has the effect of resisting virus infection.
Terpene compounds such as linalool have good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Proteus, Enteritidis, Staphylococcus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Coccus albicans, Aspergillus niger, agar, etc.
It has been reported that the antibacterial effect of linalool is five times that of phenol and has similar antibacterial effect to citronellol. It is used to treat acne based on its antibacterial activity against propionic acid bacteria. Linalool has a synergistic effect on the resistance of anacardic acid to streptococcal mutants.
Animal experiments have shown that ES4 virus-infected chickens fed with one milligram of linalool per day can prolong life by 50-80%.
It is also reported that the terpene ozonide produced by passing ozone (O3) through terpenes can be used to treat inflammation, tumors, microbial infections and burns.
The ozone is made into linalool ozonide through linalool, and it shows inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli in a test tube.

Women who shell cashew nuts for as little as £2 a day are regularly left with agonising acid burns while trying to meet British demands for the snack, a new report has found.
 As vegetarian and vegan diets increase in the UK – whether for health, environmental or animal rights reasons – shoppers are said to be hoovering up nuts, eating 17,000 tonnes in 2016, a huge 35 per cent increase compared to 2012. But according to the Daily Mail, there is a human cost to producing the millions of cashews needed, which are predominantly shelled by hand in India, Brazil, Mozambique and Vietnam.
Journalist Emily Clark visited a cashew nut processor in southern India where shellers reported painful injuries caused by cardol and anacardic acids that lie between the two layers of hard shell on a cashew nut. Some 500,000 people work in India’s cashew nut industry – nearly all women – who are paid as little as £2 a day for the arduous labour with no contracts, no guarantee of steady income and no pension or holiday pay.
 Many of the women were not given gloves and those that were chose not to wear them as it slowed their work down – they are paid by volume. One nut sheller, Pushpa Gandhi, 30, told the newspaper she is covered in scars from her work shelling cashews but makes just 200 rupees a day, or £2.15. ‘Today when we go home and wash, we will see the boils on our skin. It takes about a week for them to heal. But as the old ones heal, new ones keep coming,’ she said.

#Cashew milk is a popular nondairy beverage made from whole cashews and water. It has a creamy, rich consistency and is loaded with vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and other beneficial plant compounds. #CashewMilk contains healthy fats, #protein and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Most of the fat in this highly nutritious beverage comes from unsaturated fatty acids that boost heart health and offer other benefits. May Improve Iron-Deficiency #Anemia When your body doesn’t get enough iron, it can’t produce adequate amounts of the protein hemoglobin that helps red blood cells carry oxygen. This results in anemia and leads to fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, cold hands or feet, and other symptoms. One study found that women with low iron intake were roughly six times more likely to develop anemia than those with adequate iron consumption. May Have #Anticancer Effects Cashews are particularly high in anacardic acid, a compound that may fight free radicals that are thought to play a role in #cancer development. One test-tube study found that anacardic acid stopped the spread of human breast cancer cells. Another showed that anacardic acid enhanced the activity of an anticancer drug against human skin cancer cells. Good For Skin Cashews are loaded with copper. Therefore, milk derived from these nuts — especially the homemade kind — is rich in this mineral as well. Copper plays a large role in the creation of skin proteins and is important for optimal skin health. May Boost Heart Health This plant-based drink is rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Consuming these fats in place of less healthy ones may decrease your risk of heart disease. Cashew milk also contains potassium and magnesium — two nutrients that may boost heart health and prevent heart disease. Source: https://ift.tt/38dfado . . . https://instagr.am/p/CAgCROLHfp4/

Hey, sorry to bother you with this question, but what part of the cashew fruit is poisonous? I ask because we can make juice out of the fruit here, so, I'm really confused
The cashew’s shell is layered, and between these layers there are pockets of  anacardic acid, cardanol, and urushiol. These compounds are toxic and caustic, and cause burns and blisters on unprotected skin. Not only do these nasty oils get on the worker’s skin, but in one step of the nut processing, the raw nuts are roasted. This spews the now airborne oils skywards, and the smoke from the roasting cashews can cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract and eyes, which can be life threatening. The workers are too poor to afford proper hand and face protection. 
The fruit, as far as I know, is safe to consume. The nut, which everyone is after, is the toxic part

Some of our younger cashew apple trees flowering for the first time. The cashew Apple is native to dry areas of eastern tropical Brazil. It grows naturally in semideciduous and caatinga dry forests. In about 1560 the tree was brought to Goa, India, by Portuguese traders. From there it spread to Southeast Asia and Africa. The succulent cashew apple is sometimes eaten fresh but usually made into a juice that is very popular in Latin America. The juice is also fermented to produce an aromatic wine. In Goa, the fermented juice is distilled into a brandy called feni. The seed kernel, which is produced by removing the toxic shell in a complex process, is commonly sold as a snack after being roasted and salted. What you may know as the cashew nut. Cashew nuts are rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fats and high in dietary minerals like iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and zinc. The pseudo fruit had been used by indigenous people of South America to produce a brown dye. The anacardic acid extracted from the shell of the seed shows antibacterial properties. It is still used by locals in my community to cure sores on feet and hands and to treat tooth infections or teething babies. ・・・ #growninhaiti #cashewapple #AnacardiumOccidentale #cashewnut #flowering #growth #reforestation #preservation #tropicalfruit #pseudofruit #haiti #ayiti #agroforestry #plantedfromseed #foodforest #livingseedbank https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MRvBVlsV8/?igshid=kcxu74z55qt4

Are Nuts Fruits Excellent Nutrition for us
Tumblr media
Indian nuts are in fact a special kind of seed from a special kind of apple known under the Latin name Anacardium occidentale. It is an evergreen tree that grows about 12 meters high and originates from Brazil. India is the largest producer and for this reason, it is called Indian Nuts.
We all know about the benefits of nuts to our health and beauty that they give. But when it comes to choosing the best then, the first place is reserved for the Indian nut. The answer is very simple - it has many health benefits for our body. Indian nuts are not only delicious, but they are also good for the health of the body. The fruit of this exotic plant is a true richness of nutrients. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, vitamin E, and C.
