i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

URGENT HELLP 🚨

374 days of suffering until now, So please don't turn a blind eye to our lives !! 💔

Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in G@za P@lestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to fear, instability, and starvation, thirst, and poverty in northern G@za.

For more than one year until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 20 to 30 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking. We lacked security and stability as we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind.

I know for sure that you can't help all families that want your help but at least you can help those who come across your life.

I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. And yes, even the smallest amount can help because it's all about a collection of these small amounts until we reach our final goal and be able to rebuild our lives.

Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference. So Please don't hesitate to d0nate and reblog, you can definitely make a difference by your help.

My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost here, @northgazaupdates here @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's spreadsheet of vetted campaigns #205.

Thank you very much for your help in advance ♥️

Not to make a serious post too much but remember how angry everyone rightly was about bread companies adding sesame because it's cheaper to poison people than clean your machinery?

Yeah well it's happening in other foods. I already posted about Kellogg's doing it to cereal bars and Austin Snack Crackers but now it's in greens CVS granola bars and Jenny Fucking Craig cheesecake which btw record level they added EVERY allergen to that shit.

[zekedms]

Anyway if you have allergies be fucking careful because we're expendable and if you don't please get fucking angry for us. They're already making your food worse to save money but they're also going to kill someone this way.

[zekedms]

It is! But this is a legal loophole being exploited by the companies.

From my understanding, companies are required to thoroughly clean equipment of major allergens between products. That takes time and money and it's a lot cheaper and easier to say something has an allergen than to clean it.

But the FDA won't let you add anything to the ingredients that's not actually an ingredient. I can't just say there's coconut in my oat milk before i used the blender before to make coconut milk.

So they add a small amount, more than a trace but not enough to cost any significant amount or mess with the end result too much and oh look, now it's part of the recipe. No cleaning needed, it just uses peanut flour, how convenient!

In short, it's not cross contamination when it's an ingredient.

Bread Suppliers 'Adding Sesame' as Seed Becomes Top Allergen

Allergic Living finds adding sesame to bread products a growing practice to skirt new U.S. allergen law. Nonprofits are upset, concerned.

FDA urged to prohibit food companies from intentionally adding an allergen, sesame, to evade cross-contamination rules

As a result, many manufacturers are labeling foods and cleaning up production practices to prevent foods from becoming contaminated with ses

Kellogg's, Unintended Consequences, and the Death of 'May Contain'

Large food manufacturers are implementing fundamental changes in anticipation of FSMA directives. Is that a good thing?

Adding another clarification reblog - this is not just about sesame, sesame was the major inciting incident in January. The granola bars add peanut butter so they don't have to maintain a higher cleaning standard due to shared equipment.

The cheesecake adds every nut oil on this very Earth for the same reason.

Kellogg's has been doing this since 2016 btw

[zekedms]

This is just pretty awesome actually thank you

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I’m from Texas. I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend, Ahmed Abu Al-Rish, who is in Gaza. This fundraiser is meant to help him and his family escape the genocide.

“Hello, my name is Ahmed, 19 years old from Gaza. I finished high school with a high average and a very good grade, and because of the genocide war on Gaza, I was deprived of enrolling in university. I had dreams and ambitions to study photographic design, but I was deprived of all of that because of the genocide war on Gaza. I was living the best days of my youth. But with the beginning of this war, I became unable to live my normal life. At least our warm house sheltered me and my family until it was bombed for the first time, that damned night. Our house has become like a ghost town. We continued to seek refuge from death there until we were besieged and displaced from our safety under fire to a tent (shelter) in the bitter cold of winter, with the lack of basic necessities of life (water pollution, high cost of living, disease, insect infestation,

‏malnutrition,

‏Difficulty of movement, overcrowding), and many other daily difficulties, especially with the significant increase in prices. This was not the first time we had to be displaced. We moved again from a tent in Rafah to another tent in Khan Yunis. I then returned to our destroyed home to repair what we could to find shelter for my family, despite not having all the basic necessities of life (destroyed sanitation infrastructure and water lines, destroying any form of life). Please help me achieve my dream of completing my academic career at university and for my family to survive this genocide and escape to a safe place. And travel ❤️❤️”
