  “TECHNO-MEAT” – by Des Kelly

  • An excellent dissertation on  a more humane future for the animal world – and for HUMANS too..
  • Isha Datar: How we could eat real meat without harming animals

          Thank you Max Gerreyn for sending this amazing dietary information for all of us, at e’Lanka.

We do not have to go to the Wellawatte

or Bambalapitiya beef markets anymore, as we used to, in order to grab chunks of beef hung on large hooks, pay big prices and take it home for the cook-ammays to prepare it for us hungry buggers to eat for dinner.

Pork was also exhibited in the same way, but on a side, completely away from the meat, because of the ones who didn’t like pig-flesh. Of course there were fish-markets as well, with the favourite thora-malu, prawns, crabs

etcetera for those Catholics who would not eat meat on fridays, and others who preferred to eat fish, period. 

I remember that our family could only afford to have chicken about twice a year, and even then, I wasn’t too happy for the fate of the chickens we were consuming.

          Now, someone has come up with a brand new idea, and, as usual, Max has found out about it, and sent it to me for e’Lanka publicity.

If you prefer your meat, from animals not dead, simply turn to this video from Maxie to TED.

An excellent dissertation on  a more humane future for the animal world – and for HUMANS too..

An interesting presentation on eating meat without killing any animals!!  Fabulous!!

Why does’nt the Government make this compulsory? Because not enough people are doing this?  Are you guilty?

Isha Datar: How we could eat real meat without harming animals

What if you could eat chicken nuggets without harming a chicken? It’s possible through “cellular agriculture,” says Isha Datar. In a talk about cutting-edge science, she explains how this new means of food production makes it possible to eat meat without the negative consequences of industrial farming — and how it could fundamentally change our food systems for the better. “It’s our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a second chance at agriculture,” she says.

“CITY OF GEMS” RATNAPURA Ratnapura, known as the “City of Gems” in Sri Lanka, derives its name from the Sanskrit words “ratna” (gemstone) and “pura” (town or city). As the hub of Sri Lanka’s gem mining industry. The name is derived from Sanskrit and Pali, languages that heavily influenced the region over 2000 years ago. The city earned this name because it has been the traditional center of Sri Lanka’s gem trade for over 2,000 years. It is the primary source of world-renowned precious stones, including blue sapphires, rubies, and cat’s eyes.Some historical accounts suggest a different origin linked to the Portuguese colonial era. There is a view that the name could be derived from the Portuguese word “Rapadura,” which refers to jaggery. Ratnapura is the heart of Sri Lanka’s gem industry, often called the “gem capital of the world” due to its incredible geological wealth and ancient trading history. The region is famous for producing over 40 of the 85 known gemstone varieties in the world. The most famous is the “Ceylon Sapphire,” prized for its vivid cornflower and royal blue hues. Other varieties include yellow, pink, and the rare orange-pink Padparadscha. Specialty Stones: Includes the rare Alexandrite (which changes color in different light), Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl, Spinel, Tourmaline, Garnet, and Moonstone. The sapphire in Princess Diana’s Iconic engagement ring is a Ceylon sapphire from the Ratnapura area. Many world-renowned gems were unearthed in the Ratnapura district. One of the largest faceted blue sapphires ever found in Ratnapura, Blue Giant of the Orient is over 465 carats. The city features remains of a Portuguese-Dutch Fort, which now houses the National Gem and Jewellery Authority. Ratnapura is the starting point for the “classic” hard route (Gilimale route) to the sacred Sripada. Ratnapura district is home to a significant number of spectacular waterfalls, often described as having the highest concentration of waterfalls in Sri Lanka. – By Francis Paul Welangoda
