  • From what I know, jam is what you described as the heterogenous fruit preserve. It’a basically fruits roughly choped, sugar and pectine.

    Jelly is kinda the same thing, but instead of using whole fruits, you use juice (with sugar and pectine).

    Jell-o is generally artificially flavored gelatine (which comes from animal bones).

    If I’m not mistaken, in Canada there are laws specifying what can be labeled as jam and jelly, like sugar concentration and stuff like that.




  • Of course the root of evil is capitalism, but you have to understand that we would need to greatly reduce meat consuption to have the “ethical” way of breeding that most people expect. The reason why the animal exploitation is so bad is that it has to satisfy a demand that keeps growing. People expect to continue their eating habits and that companies should just be held accountable, change their ways and still produce the same quantities of meat/diaries/eggs.










  • Where I live there were people that supported a law preventing government workers from wearing religious clothing/symbol. It was presented as “an effort to secularize the government”. The same people did not see the importance in removing the crucifix we have at the National Assembly because it was “part of our history”. More than that, some were openly against it. Can you see the hypocrisy and how that kind of law just happens to affect more Islamic people ? This is an example of underlying xenophobia. In the same way, I feel like Dawkins is clearly biased because he grew up in a nation were Christianity is more prevalent. Let’s just think about how in Poland, a predominantly Christian nation, blasphemy is still an offense that can get you to prison. How can that be seen as “decent” ? Or how currently in the US Christianity is used to repeal laws for abortions or LGBTQ rights ?
