Tempo by Home Chef | Green News Guide Reviews

Image
Tempo meals is a weekly food delivery service that offers flavorful protein centered meals in the quantity of your choosing.  If you’ve been rocking with the Green News Guide then you might have read previous reviews about other food delivery services such as Cook Unity, Mosaic or Gobble.  Tempo was originally launched by Home Chef in October of 2023.  I found their meal selection process to be super easy and the website was very user friendly.  Customers can select the subscription of their choice based on the number of meals desired on a weekly basis. One can opt for a quantity of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 meals per week at $11 per serving.   Ordering & Delivery process Tempo’s meals usually feature a protein (beef, chicken, fish, shrimp) that is usually paired with a vegetable medley.  There is also the choice to select from “premium” meal options that are about $3-$5 additional per serving.  One con that I noticed about Tempo is that there...

More Climate Deniers in Britain than in US?

Fires and Heat...How could this be happening?




The United Kingdom is experiencing a brutal heat wave where temperatures are surpassing 100 degrees Farenheit which is a record in UK weather history.  Multiple fires broke out during the past few days and have burned down grassland, properties and homes.  The fires originated in grass as the record temperatures continue soaring.  On Tuesday, temperatures reached 104 degrees Farenheit at Heathrow Airport.   A SkyNews correspondent, Laura Bundock, discussed her experience with the chaotic fires:



"It was like night fall near the fire, with winds moving the flames at a terrifying speed. You could see the smoke spreading though fields, fueled by brittle dry ground, which crunched underfoot," Bundock wrote.

"As the fire grew, we saw emergency services running through the village to evacuate homes."


104 degrees Farenheit in the UK? NO way it could be true!

Still even with the confirmed research and science some British people are still in denial about climate change.  Stephen Belcher, a chief scientist in the UK’s Meteorological Office, never thought the day would come where he’d see temperatures surpassing 100 degrees Farenheit in the United Kingdom.  He believed it to be unfeasible.  

"Research conducted here at the Met Office has demonstrated that it's virtually impossible for the U.K .to experience 40C in an undisrupted climate, but climate change driven by greenhouse gases has made these extreme temperatures possible," Belcher said.  "I wasn't expecting to see this in my career."

British Meteorologists Flustered with Public not Accepting Truth about the Climate 

When a flustered meteorologist on GBN Live, named John, gave his report about the weather, essentially stating that the weather would be brutal over the next few days, a news reporter countered him and downplayed the seriousness of the matter.  

“John, I want us to be happy about the weather.  I don’t know whether something’s happened to meteorologists to make you all a little bit fatalistic and (chuckles) harbingers of doom. Because all of the broadcasts, particularly on the BBC, every time I’ve turned on anyone’s talking about the weather they’re saying that there’s going to be tons of fatalities. But haven’t we always had hot weather, John? I mean wasn’t it ’76….the summer of ’76—that was as hot as this wasn’t it?”

John, the meteorologist responded that the summer of 76 was a freak event but it was not as hot as the temperatures the UK is currently seeing. 

As the heat temperatures rise, train stations are running close to empty and airport runways and highways are being closed.  Nursing homes and schools have been warned to take steps to protect students and elderly people.

Coronavirus mixed with Heat Wave: Recipe for Disaster!

The heat in the UK is so severe that it will be able to cause serious illnesses and death.

Along with heat temperatures on the rise, Covid-19 infections are also on the rise in the UK and rest of Europe.  Currently, Europe accounts for half of all coronavirus infections in the world.  The heat wave is going to have a detrimental impact on hospitals.   An emergency room consultant, Dr. Bronze, provided her thoughts about the impending situation.

 “A lot of hospital buildings are very old, particularly in London, and many don't have air conditioning and windows that don't open – so they are extremely hot.  Some staff still have to wear PPE – so plastic gowns, masks, gloves – on top of their normal uniform which, as you can imagine, means people are quickly going to get very hot and dehydrated."

Notorious Climate Deniers are Apart of the UK government

Many Tory or conservative members of Parliament do not believe in climate change science.  Approximately 32% believe that human activity is not driving climate change and 10% believe that climate change is not happening at all.  The Global Warming Policy Foundation is a lobby group based in the United Kingdom who is challenging the UK’s 2050 net zero climate action target.  Michael Hintze, a Tory donor and Australian billionaire has funded the GWP Foundation and will receive a peerage in the House of Lords soon. The Global Warming Policy Foundation believes that there isn’t any evidence of a climate crisis.

I’m sure we’re all wondering how these deniers are feeling during these record-breaking, blazing hot summer days!

FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

Fenty Sidestick Is it All that?

Image
The Fenty Side Stick is a 3 in 1 edge styling tool.  It was mentioned in a comprehensive review  of Rihanna's hair line, however, I hadn't yet purchased it.  I wanted to briefly compare The Side Stick to the type of edge brushes that are found in your average beauty store.  The Side Stick arrived in a light orange box with the signature Fenty packaging and logo. On the back of the box, is a photo of the Side Stick.  The photo on the back of the packaging is almost the same length as the Side Stick so the user can get a sense of the actual length of the product.  When it is taken out of the package, the end piece needed to be snapped on. It's a nice rose chrome colored tail which makes for precise parting and creation of swooped styles.  If any of you ladies love your 90s Aaliyah style swooped bangs, the Side Stick is going to get you right every time! It has a duo brush and comb head instead of being at opposite ends like an average edge brush and com...

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

Image
1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
