11. Shark fin drops off the menu, conservationists claim victory

‘Shortly after taking office in late 2012, the new Xi Jinping administration announced a crackdown on the use of public fund expenditures, lavish spending and corruption by government officials.
Such a crackdown appears to have already had a significant impact on luxury seafood restaurants and other luxury industries. In the past year, it is this anti-corruption campaign, more than anything else, which is likely to have had an impact on shark fin consumption.’

An interesting argument for which unfortunately the writers of the article don’t provide evidence. The article suggests a more complex set of factors including an abundance of fake shark fin on the market and health concerns.

Bludgeoning garlic. Waterboarding chicken. Gluten intolerance as a genuine mental illness. And a recipe that you do actually feel confident you can cook. This show continues to be sheer genius.

‘The central hub in the Microbial Home system is a repositionable kitchen island, including a chopping surface with vegetable waste grinder, a gas cooking range, a glass tank that shows energy reserves and glass elements showing pressure, volume and readiness of compost sludge.’

Santa, you now have my complete Christmas pressie list. Gorgeously designed aesthetically and sustainably.

A UK company has put out the ultimate single-serving meal for those who prefer to spend the festive season alone – an entire Christmas dinner with both sweet and savoury layers in a tin.’

This is so going to be on the table if I can get some
