That hasn’t happened yet and we don’t know for sure if/when it will

In December 2017, unable to repay a huge Chinese loan, Sri Lanka handed its Hambantota port in the south of the island to a Beijing company on a 99-year lease for US$1.12 billion.

This is just the reality, my friend. You can look past western propaganda but seem to really struggle with anti-western propaganda.

I get the cynicism, but the reality is that the system of washing eggs in the US was incredibly effective at reducing salmonella-related illness so we stuck with it. The data demonstrates both systems are about equally effective at preventing salmonella exposure. Similar salmonella outbreaks still happen in the EU’s system, too

Bro, there are hundreds of egg-related salmonella outbreaks across Europe every year.

This has nothing to do with how chickens are taken care of. Salmonella naturally occurs in chickens and is totally harmless to them. In the US, we wash our eggs, which eliminates the salmonella but requires the eggs be refrigerated for storage. In most of the EU, eggs are unwashed, but the chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. Washed eggs can be refrigerated and stored for almost 2 months, where unwashed eggs last about 3 weeks.

Plenty salmonella outbreaks related to eggs still happen in the EU also.

Assange should not have been persecuted by the US government, but that doesn’t change the fact that the dude is an unethical blowhard.

Mushrooms have some protein, but not very much. They aren’t a very good source of protein
