Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]


Possibly. The Jain couple who are family friends are both doctors so presumably they have insight about nutrition. Most strict Jains in developed countries or urban areas follow a vegan diet now due to the methods used in supermarket milk.

I ate a vegan lunch today. Not because it was vegan, but because the other two choices didn't appeal. It was fine.

Someone was saying today that they had the same issue in Hungary and a similar protest. I don't know how successful that was.

On the Warsaw Metro today the TV screens just had this message on:

He was a crossover. A travel writer, a literary writer a journalist..

He'd have probably got a Nobel if he'd lived longer.

I don't think he ever claimed to be an academic historian though.

Some family friends are Jain (and very religious). They do entertain however there are some oddities especially since their holy men can't set eyes on a woman or enjoy food (they have to mush it up for them so no single flavour predominates).

One characteristic of their diet is that they can only eat veg that has been cut without killing the whole plant. That excludes all root vegetables and onions/garlic. They don't consume mushrooms or anything made with yeast. Some Jains don't like tap water in case there are microbes in it.


In small amounts and it's permissible only because the animal isn't harmed. In the west, they're theoretically allowed to consume supermarket milk but often dislike it due to factory farming. Many Jains living in developed countries are now vegan for this reason.

Do you imagine for a moment that it isn't biased? Even Andrzej Wajda said so.

I can see it getting messier.

On the one hand, some European countries already have the tax, on the other hand, the margins are so small for some outlets that this will close them down completely. Poland has a lot of media outlets for its population size, and this is a healthy thing.

The proposed tax is certainly politically motivated.

I wonder why.


The Jains in India are completely vegan and have their own cuisine. They're so strict they won't even squash a fly.

Wysocki is a very common name. The equivalent English name is probably Hill.


This isn't (and it sounds a little naughty to Polish speakers).

We should never judge, however we shouldn't try to conceal the harder parts of recent history now. Or there'll be all the more scandal when they eventually do.

Sometimes I get irritated when British historians seem to be washing the country's dirty linen in public. Better to get it over with and move on though. Or the alternative is not moving on.


Those guys were young and had grown up in the worst period of history to date. They did what wasn't what they'd had (if that makes sense).

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


This is clear. The issue is the aggressive whitewashing of that fact.

People are more appreciative of (and understanding about ) honesty than denial, evasion and persecution of historians.

He was one of them.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


You assume that a) I'm "not knowing" and b) that this forum is aimed at "Polish readers".

Do you remember the furore a couple of decades back when a historian published letters by Poles denouncing people for being in the AK to the occupying Nazis? There were a lot of people who wish the book hadn't been published and tried to argue that it shouldn't.

Time for a book about the Blue Police though, maybe a film.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


I'm not sure; I didn't ask. I think he was from Lwow originally however they said he'd been in the Blue Police in at least one place then after the war in England.


Not known fo their neutrality though...

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Good. So you in fact approve of him including the testimony of the last surviving eyewitness who lived in the same house as the person concerned.

And disapprove of attempts to use the courts to suppress publication of that testimony.


It's a subject people avoid here, however it's high time for some research and a book on them. I knew someone who'd been in them. Not very nice.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


She did and they both were. Do you think her account should have been left out of the book?


Hard to know what you mean by 'juice', however as an academic he is highly distinguished.

Now you're deliberately pretending to misunderstand the thread,

Neighbour, rather than fetish. And she doesn't harp on about veganism.


The same, however I'm looking forward to vat-grown meat developing until it's better and cheaper.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Both, of course. Since, y'know, it's an oppressive lawsuit trying to silence historians...


Good.


The historian? Do you think he should have censored the eyewitness account of the last survivor? Or do you mean that the media shouldn't cover the lawsuit?

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Why would I need to? There are some bizarre thread titles on here.


So you think they should ignore high-profile lawsuits against international historians?


Yet you say you're criticising the journalists publicising this. Make your mind up.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Not a Nazi, merely someone who was identified in an interview as collaborating with them.

Perhaps you'd prefer the eyewitness comments be excluded from the book.


Or simply historians doing their job; interviewing, researching and presenting data, without reference to what you quaintly call "feelings".

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


I wouldn't be surprised at all.

There's a lot of that happening now.

The ones who try to relativise the past are so banal that serious historians don't pay attention and nor do the intelligent public.

It's a serious historical study. Unfortunately there are people who try to relativise the sad facts covered in the book.

This link might help. You'll need to copy/paste it into your browser. Select jpeg as the format and put 99kb in the box for the size you want (it says 120 kb limit here but in fact it's 100kb).

imageresizer.com

The place you put that in is in Section 3 where it says "Target File Size". It has to be jpeg (you select that in the box to the right of the "Target File Size" one). No need to put anything into Section 2.

It's a safe website, I've used it hundreds of times.

It's big news and part of a broad issue about historians' freedom to reasearch and public.

Here's a good article about the case from a few weeks ago:
""I didn't write that I thought he had betrayed the Jews. I reported on the witness's opinion," she said."

So make it in random, where you belong.

Do you really, seriously, genuinely think that a 70 year old court verdict has any relevance whatsoever to what historians can research and publish today and in the future?
