they're just like white supremacists, and should be treated the same way.

to put it another way: following mill, i accept that it is valid to restrict somebody's speech in order to prevent harm to others, and there are only two examples that i tend to cite where this is reasonable:

1) nazis.

2) muslims.

once again, we see the extremely close parallels between islam and nazism, this time in their complete refusal to accept freedom of expression.

and, we have to win this fight - and not worry about taking prisoners in it.

it is at best tone-deaf and ignorant.

but, it's more than that, and you are only looking away from the obvious if you refuse to see it.

this is dangerous.

"but, you're just attacking free speech protesters!"

those are not free speech activists, and your equivalency is false; sending away people that would throw away our freedoms cannot be compared with standing up for them in the first place. it's the same stupid argument that got all these relativists in this mess in the first place.

and, i keep telling you that, if we're not careful, we're going to end up like iran. if you let this kind of thing continue, there's no other end point - they've made it as clear as they can that they reject this country's history and want to recreate it in their own image.

i, for one, will not be colonized lying down.

so, i will state i again that i would call for their removal on the very reasonable grounds that they are aligned with this country's enemies, and calling for a boycott of it's most important historical ally.

"So if the government sees those actions and how the Canadian citizens are offended by those actions, then the Canadian government might be as well might as well be inspired... to take more effective actions and, for example, boycott France and just take better actions to prevent France from continuing with such disrespectful actions to Muslims,"

this person should be immediately charged with treason and deported.

so, i wanted to get back out this afternoon, and i fell asleep instead. i didn't really sleep yesterday, so i guess i needed a nap.

i'm going to call around a few places and see if i can get a few leads. it's probably going to rain tomorrow, so i may need to wait until monday. 

i still have those edibles in the fridge and would just rather be awake and alert, tonight. i'm otherwise too old to play dress-up and act silly, but i do wish the ancestors a good day.

still moving in the right direction, actually.

it's november. people get sick this time of year; that doesn't mean they're going to die.

so, this little guava really ain't bad.

remind me to cut the seeds out first next time, though.

i didn't find any more light soy, but i'm going to ride around a bit more this afternoon. i just want to get on a bicycle...

i did get some more normal soy built up for the casear dressing base, and i did buy some yogurt that i'm fairly certain about sticking with for the fruit bowl, relegating the other yogurt to a side component of the casear dressing. i think i can make use of it as a thickener, though. the thing is that it has a little bit of b5 in it, and that's helpful in the pasta bowl.

the other thing i picked up were a few guavas, and this is one of the more exotic solutions i was hoping for. raspberries are just not cheap here, and they spoil quickly. but, i got a pack of 20 of these ounce-sized mini-guavas for $3.50, and each of them should have around 60 mg of c or so. i lose the folate and other stuff, but i didn't need it anyways. so, that's an easy and affordable way to finish my bowl that i wasn't totally expecting to be available; i was looking out for things like lychees and longans as well, which are small items just saturated in the stuff. if this is sustainable at a reasonable price - and the kiwis are - then we've found the answer, and i can move on. it should only be around 20 calories, too, meaning i should be able to dip under 1000 calories soon, too

so...

- vector out, yogurt in, and for vitamin a, specifically. almost no calories. ironically.

- nectarines out, mangoes out, raspberries iffy (currently out.) and guavas in.

- it should now be under 1000 calories, in total.

...if i can keep finding all of the ingredients,

you can tell me "but, look, the yogurt has a low calorie count!".

well, yeah - it's 70% water and 30% sugar.

you'd might as well just drink a glass of diet coke, it's about as good for you.

there's sometimes enough a in there if you check, at least, for me, that a spoonful will get me over where i need to be in the breakfast bowl - about 5% of the rdi for retinol. so, one of these tubs should last a few weeks.

i bought something, but i haven't decided on the brand i want, yet.

my option for yogurt was a complete lie. why is that?

the website told me i'd get 50% of my rdi of d3 in 125 g, which made it seem like a good choice for a salad dressing base. i got there to realize i'd need 175 to get a measly 18. so, they increased the serving size and decreased the nutritional value. gotta maximize profit, i guess.

ugh.

it was just no longer useful to me, so i passed.

how is the government letting them do this? don't tell me it's consumer choice - i'm a consumer, and i don't have a choice. if i could find some heavily fortified yogurt, i would buy it in large quantities. but, it no longer exists, meaning i suppose i'm being told to eat animals to get my d requirements (and my by b12 requirements). it's distressing.

they're systematically taking it out of the soy, too. the one brand that continues to fortify their products has minimal distribution, but i at least found some, and i hope they start selling more, not less.

there is a market in canada right now for fortified foods, you'll just have to find a way to get into the grocery system, which just wants to convert everything into candy. they'll be selling frosted broccoli next, just wait for it.

(i fear i gave them a bad idea)

there's also a lot of work for the next government to do in unbreaking this system, which is now slanted firmly to the benefit of producers, at the expense of consumers. i have no delusions about the usefulness of market theory to do anything except make more money for people that are already rich, so i don't expect a market to be reestablished without some help from the top. it's going to be hard times for the healthy in canada until what the sitting government has done gets undone - it's going to be harder and harder to find healthy foods.

and, what did they do, exactly? they seem to have made fortification voluntary and then watched everybody take the vitamins out, leaving 98% of the products on the shelf as processed sugar. and, they will need to be forced to put it back in, or we will have an obesity epidemic like we've yet to even imagine. 

so, i had to make a decision - i wanted some yogurt with a high vitamin d content, but there just wasn't any. this was supposed to replace some caesar dressing, which i wanted to increase the nutritional value of. and, can i find d-fortified casear, then? google doesn't help, but putting b12 & d in the salad dressing would be highly useful for vegans. what has d, b12, b5, b7 and b16 in it? the answer is....

soy milk.

well? what else is there? you'd imagine that a well put together caesar would actually have all of that - it has eggs, it has cheese, it has milk. but, nobody tells me anything of any value. 

the yogurt at least has the answers on the listing, and it's not good, so i'm going to ask around about the dressing and see what i get. for right now, i've been eating the salad with soy milk for a few weeks and it's actually quite good.

and, that basically solves everything, and at a relatively low caloric count.

speaking of which, i found 12 cartons of my light brand soy milk, which should last me until the end of november. i'm considering taking a ride around town this morning looking for another few week's worth. these cartons expire in january, but i drink through them in 2-3 days. so, i can still benefit from finding another 15 or so. i'm going to use the full fatted version for the casear base, and may ad-hoc make one myself, in the end - that way, i know what's in it. and, my casear, will have d & b12 & b5 galore! ahahahahahahah!

aaaaahahahahahahaha!

aaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhhhaaaaa!

sorry, had to get that out. i'm having a very late breakfast, from yesterday afternoon.

other things to note:

- i caved on the salami. again: the fortification on fake meat just isn't any good anymore, and the crickets don't really work with what i want them for. the only acceptable option was these weird "artisanal" hot dogs made from less than healthy components. and, i decided that a small amount of taurine would be useful. so, stay tuned with that.

- mangoes are too expensive, straight up. so, i've reverted to raspberries. i will tweak this.

- i bought some of the yogurt i was looking at, in the end, for a vitamin a boost to replace the vector. i doubt this is permanent, but it's fine for now. it's a net decrease of about 30 calories at roughly the same cost.

so, the next update for the breakfast is going to be to finish what i was thinking, which was to increase the soy milk to 400, increase the all bran to 45 g and decrease the vector to 15 g - which ended up as a mild 11 point calorie boost, but, then, i will get to these replacements.

....probably not until tonight, though.
