Catherine – congratulations! I bet you are looking forward to Orlando in September. The best tan accelerator for you would be either the gel-textured Leighton Denny Sun-Believable which requires twice a day application (based on how pale your natural skin is) or the cream-textured Elemis Tan Accelerator which only requires once a day application.
I have chosen these products for you for a number of reasons. Firstly, to provide you with some options with regard to texture and application; secondly as I trust both to deliver impressive results for very pale and fair skin. I particularly recommend Elemis as its special formulation has singled it out as a consistent performer for over ten years.
As you are so pale, use your tan accelerator instead of a body lotion two to three weeks before you go away, then continue to use it on holiday as after sun and as body lotion when you return. Sometimes you may see or read about people getting amazing results after using it for just a week before they go away on holiday, but often they will have a different skin tone to you – the paler your skin, the longer you should use it for.
Good luck! I would love you to take some photos of your tan as it develops and share them with us. Remember to use SPF as normal throughout the day.
Ellen – rest assured the Intelligent Nutrients brand is suitable for vegetarians as it contains no animal bi-products and is not tested on animals. The brand is recognised by Leapingbunny.org and Green-e.org and uses non-toxic, gluten-free chemistry to produce its products. It is probably also reassuring to you to know that the parent company of this brand does not endorse animal testing either.
Ellen, the reason why we don't emphasise that our products are 'not tested on animals' or that they don't "contain parabens/colours/preservatives/synthetics or animal ingredients" etc is that we concentrate on what a product does contain and what results it can offer.
As you know from your own research, it can be very misleading when a brand says that 'they don't test on animals' yet you know their parent company is a pharmaceutical company. For this reason, QVC's policy is that we don't stock any products that are tested on animals by the manufacturer that makes and tests the final formula. But as you already probably know, whether a product can be considered vegetarian carries a two-fold answer since many products contain sea proteins or fish oil extracts (such as omega oils) that a vegan would not find acceptable but a lacto would.
You also discuss the point of ethical shopping which is of course, extremely valid. However, even keenly ethical shoppers can encounter ecological and environmental issues that arise from distinctions made by each individual consumer. For example, the Intelligent Nutrients brand might meet all your vegetarian needs, but as it comes from America, for particularly ethically minded shoppers, such a purchase could result in a concern over air miles.
However, this is an excellent question that you have raised and I will discuss it further with Bryony, Head of our Website and Luke who is in charge of the Beauty Channel, to see if going forward, new technology will help us to cover this subject more thoroughly for you and many others. It is a topic which could benefit from discussion on the Beauty Channel and would be a good subject to address on the special shows that discuss and recognise these issues. Also watch out for the return of A'KIN which you will also love!
Jean – I'm glad you are loving your Mally eye make-up. We do now sell Mally Dual-Action Make-up Remover which we offer as part of a kit (Mally Seven Piece Eye Heros). Her mascara will also come off easily with Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil and any other oil rich cleansers like Emma Hardie's Maringa Balm.
Liz – congratulations on your daughter getting married! As you suffer from so many allergies, your key products for getting started would definitely be Miracle Balm or anything from the Sarah McNamara Range.
It is crucial to desensitise your skin first with a gentle, uncomplicated routine. This will help skin to look healthier and age lines will begin to plump enabling you to apply more moisture.
For make-up that provides good coverage whilst soothing your skin I would recommend Bare Minerals Loose Foundation – its unique formulation will ensure that your complexion is at its best, ready for you to get glammed up! I hope all goes well with these first purchases. Good luck!
Ragvinder – this answer is very simple, you only need one product. Recommended by both doctors and clinics Ultrasun Factor 30 Face and Ultralip needs applying only once a day and provides long lasting SPF protection whilst offering you consistent UVA and UVB protection with a matte finish.
If you wear make-up, make sure that it is not causing your spots. The best cover, if you want any, would be the original Bare Minerals Loose Foundation because of the fantastic zinc oxide ingredient it naturally contains which helps prevent spots on the skin.
Avril – at the moment, Iris Aromessence sounds like it would be good for you used in conjunction with Prolagen Gel. When applied morning and evening these products will help to provide increased firmness. Or why not try the Gatineau DefiLIFT range which helps to smooth and reduce the effects of open pores which are more common in the skin of the over 40s?
Leslie Knight – the new Decleor Aromessence Neroli and Balm Essential Duo set that is due out would be perfect to get you started as there are two main products in there to help get the skin around the lower cheek area back in balance. Although you should begin to see a result within 30 days, if this area gets worse or fails to go away, then please mention it to your GP next time you are there.
Mrs Athwell – the secret to reducing dark circles is available in your own home! Simply try increasing the amount of water you drink to at least two litres a day and incorporating, if possible, a better night ritual to encourage better quality sleep. This, in combination with Alpha H's Absolute Eye Serum can boost your skincare results.
Sharsi – you have used great products which should have already improved your uneven skin tone. If you used Alpha H's system with their Liquid Gold Perfecting Day Cream religiously and it didn't work, I would suggest that you use it in conjunction with SPF 50 Ultrasun Anti-Ageing cream during the day. Without using a good SPF cream, daylight on the skin will stimulate skin pigmentation and prevent you from getting good results.
However, if you did use an all-day protection of SPF50 and you still didn't get the results you were hoping for, then it is certainly worth mentioning to your doctor as there may be a prescription product that would be more beneficial to you.
Julie – this could be a result of your ongoing treatment and it can take many years for your body to restore its balance. You are definitely using the right products, and it might be useful to increase the amount of times you use Phillip Kingsley Elasticiser as it will be extremely beneficial for your hair type.
In addition to this, use the Philip Kingsley Blow Dry Kit or get the Daily Damage Defence product on its own and use as your blow dry treatment as it will help to protect against the use of straighteners. Smoothing Philip Kingsley's Preen Cream in to dry hair at the end of styling is also fantastic for adding moisture and making hair look healthier.
I have and under active thyroid so my skin is quite grey and dull most of the time, what skin care would you advise for me ?
Hi Alison, I have dark, thick hair that has non-permanent hair colour on it, the odd grey hair. I use no styling products but I do use an instyler to smooth and give a slight wave. My hair is fluffy once first washed but quickly straightens and would become greasy on top if I didn't wash it daily. The ends obviously dry out and split due to the instyler so I have many different issues to deal with. I have used Liz Earle shampoo and. Conditioner before but no real difference to say a product like Tresemme or Loreal non-sulphate shampoos. I am about to receive a Maximiser styler brush that works with ionics instead of the instyler so my question to you (finally) is what hair care products could I possibly use that could help my hair to last more than a day and keep it more bouncy and hold a wave in it and cope the the colour. Thank you and I eagerly await you answer.
I am looking for advice, I go away to Florida in October and although I am not and wont be lying in the sun, I wondered if the Sunbelievable Tan Accelarator would be appropriate for me as I will be walking round, in and out of places rather than the sunbathing.
I would love to get a bit of colour, rather the milk bottle white I sport all year round as well as going from this colour to red and back again should I be lucky enough to catch the sun. I suppose it best to mention I do burn easily and with up to 50SPF cream on too!
Can you please tell me if you know of any skin care or make up ranges that are vegan please?

US Hawks Hang Gliding Association • View topic - William L. Effinger, Jr.
Post subject: William L. Effinger, Jr.
Flex-wing hang glider progress would not be complete without a robust appreciation of Bill Effinger.
http://www.airplanesandrockets.com/airp ... odeler.htm May-June 1963 American Modeler.
Effinger is in the mix in several of the 12 or more big rivers that moved the 1960 seed of the HG renaissance into ever-growing motions. He was in the patent flow. He was in the modelers' flow. He was in the Ryan flow. He saw the influence of Rogallo and NASA, but wanted Wanner not to be missed.
Explore Effinger to see more of our flex-wing roots.
For me it started two years ago when A. C. Gilbert's new products planners wanted a glider kite with some form of power for maneuverability.
Here was a challenge that could not be met with orthodox design. Henry Struck and I kicked around ideas for several weekends. Being old balsa butchers, we knew that there were several approaches that offered possibilities, but the weight of ready-to-fly plastic models was the big drawback.
The NASA flexible wing experiments using a flex-wing in combination with a "Custom Cavalier" made us consider this possibility.


Following on from the success with previous Corporate Identity programmes for other global automotive manufacturers, Sign Language are delighted to announce they will be working with Honda UK on rolling our their new European corporate identity across their dealer network.
Following a successful pilot at Crescent Motorcycles in Southampton which involved extensive use of digitally printed wall paper products along with 3D Honda 'wings' signage Sign Language were selected as the preferred option.
Since the successful pilot we have, working alongside the Spanish design architects, gone on to brand numerous sites and are well on the way to achieving the deadline for he entire network by the end of 2017.


How to Remove Avast from Mac?
Who doesn't remember the thrill and pleasure of using a brand new Mac? When you have a Mac that doesn't cause frustration due to regular hangs every task seems like a breeze. The deterioration of Mac's performance happens partly due to the failure to perform essential maintenance routines on the part of a user and partly because of malware infiltration. There are known cases of students who had to pay for essay to be written by someone else after their Mac had been struck out of service because of the above-mentioned circumstance couple days before the paper's turn-in deadline.
Fortunately, the latter problem can be solved with the help of free and commercial antiviruses that function as the first line of defense against harmful software. There are plenty of security solutions that differ greatly in their ability to keep a Mac safe. In addition, antivirus utilities also vary in speed, functionality, price, license options, and effectiveness among others. Those users who want to protect their system from malware, adware and spyware purchase and install antivirus solutions of their choice, thereby reducing the vulnerability of a Mac.
However, just like with any other product, antivirus software can fail to live up to expectations of its customers. Therefore, sometimes there is a need to reconsider the choice of antivirus in favor of a better utility. A case in point is the uninstallation of Avast from a Mac.
After answering the question of why one might need to remove Avast from a Mac, it is necessary to consider how it can be done. Basically, all approaches to uninstalling the antivirus can be lumped into two categories: software and manual. From a functional viewpoint, the use of each uninstallation route can meet the criteria of success.
However, there is a surprisingly small number of Mac owners who know how to properly uninstall Avast or any other app for that matter by following the manual route. It has to do with the fact that the method necessitates the methodical deletion of remnant files and folders that are scattered all over a drive. This, in turn, requires a good knowledge of the macOS directory structure and some patience.
To the extent that the difference between the manual and software method is simply a matter of technical wherewithal, the choice between the two methods is up to each user. Those who are confident in their ability to navigate through the labyrinth of Mac folders and subfolders in search of Avast leftovers can opt for the manual method, which is completely free. Others might find attractive the software route, which is associated with the nominal cost of purchasing a cleaning utility.
Why and How to Completely Remove Avast from Mac?
Prior to embarking on the discussion of effective and reasonable methods of the antivirus removal, it is necessary to consider why people install Avast in the first place and why they might want to uninstall it. Avast Mac Security is a venerable antivirus that is appreciated by many Mac owners. Given that the utility is distributed free of charge and is fairly efficient in removing the majority of digital threats, numerous Internet surfers use it for the protection of their system. However, experienced members of the Apple family realize that it is not reasonable to scrimp on security. Therefore, they opt for commercial antiviruses that are characterized by better performance in several key areas and reinforce the protection of their Mac by masking their web activities with the help of Avast SecureLine VPN. Specifically, many users are frustrated by the extremely slow scanning speed of Avast, exorbitant resource consumption, and distracting pop-ups. Therefore, they seek proper ways to uninstall the antivirus.
If you find that Avast antivirus fails to live up to your expectations of security, here's how to delete it without any trace left.
Afterwards, empty the Trash to retrieve the hard drive space occupied by deleted files. If you have been using Avast for long, the reclaimed space can be quite impressive.
The software approach to uninstalling the utility presupposes the use of the built-in uninstaller and third-party utilities.
Click on the Quit button to finish the process.
The most reliable way of removing Avast from your Mac is to download either free or paid cleaning utilities from the Web. Such tools have been specifically designed to make the uninstallation process easy and reliable.


Malaysia Airlines has posted its fourth straight quarterly loss and raised its full-year loss nearly three-fold from a year ago.
It is also warning of tougher times ahead.
The flag carrier recorded a net loss of 343 million ringgit ($A115.54 million) for the three months through December, compared to a 51.4 million profit a year ago.
It blames a declining Malaysian ringgit, unrealised foreign exchange losses and higher operating and finance cost.
For the full year, losses ballooned to 1.17 billion ringgit, nearly three-fold from a 433 million ringgit loss in 2012.
The airline said on Tuesday the business environment will remain challenging this year due to high fuel prices, volatile foreign exchange and intense competition.

Review: Marc Abraham's 'I Saw the Light', Starring Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen
By Mae Abdulbaki on	 March 24, 2016 0 Comments
Please note that this is a repost of my review from the 2015 Middleburg Film Festival.
Before making "I Saw the Light," it would have been hard to imagine Tom Hiddleston in a role that required him to sing. But any trepidation you might have about hearing his singing voice replace that of Hank Williams, the country singer-songwriter he portrays in the aforementioned film, is gone as soon as you hear him belt out the first few notes. However, regardless of Hiddleston's hidden musical talents, Marc Abraham's "I Saw the Light" is underwhelming, vague, and is an uneven biopic of a man who is considered a legend.
With several songs landing on the Billboard Top 10 for Country and Western music, Hank Williams is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his time. Director and writer Marc Abraham focuses on the years of 1946 and 1953, beginning with his marriage to Audrey Sheppard (Elizabeth Olsen), a woman just as stubborn as Williams. Audrey also attempts to have a music career, although her lack of musical abilities stifle her dreams very quickly. She supposedly managed Williams's career for nearly a decade, but from the film you'd think that all she was good for was being a whiny and demeaning wife, without clearly balancing her imperfections with Williams's own.
The trouble with the film is that there is no clear trajectory. There are some explanations given by a couple of producers of certain times in the singer's life which are mostly used to clue us in as to what's happening onscreen in unwanted fashion. Unmemorable characters (including his own band), and the women in his life filter in and out of the film with no semblance of importance to their presence in Williams's life whatsoever. Williams suffered from alcoholism and a tumultuous marriage with Audrey and these are both portrayed in the film, but their interactions are cluttered and problematic.
Abraham wants you to read between the lines clearly, but the way the plot is setup makes for a clunky path to an anti-climatic end. There is no major conflict, no real turning point, and nor are any of the character's actions understood. As an example, Williams later marries a woman named Billie Jean (Maddie Hanson) and all we're given as to why he wanted to marry her was that we saw her at a concert. That's all. There is no depth to any of his decisions or character and the film asks the audience to go on good faith and trust that he was a legend for a reason rather than showing you why.
As a biopic, "I Saw the Light" is a mess of events without a clear center. Tom Hiddleston is miscast as Williams, and while his voice is pretty good and the music is the best part of the film, Abraham relies too heavily on showing the bleakness and often disastrous events of the singer's life without regard as to why anyone really fell in love with his music to begin with. With no emotional attachment to the characters and a plot that struggles to stay interesting, "I Saw the Light" is often dull and a hard sell.

Q: C++ make a string to int function I usually program in python which has a string to integer converter built in but when i use C++ it doesn't seem to work so I decided to make my own.
this is what i made so far
C++:
int strtoint(string str)
{
    int values [str.length()];
    int return_value = 0;

    for (int i=0; i < str.length(); ++i)
        if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '1')
            values[i] = 1;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '2')
            values[i] = 2;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '3')
            values[i] = 3;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '4')
            values[i] = 4;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '5')
            values[i] = 5;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '6')
            values[i] = 6;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '7')
            values[i] = 7;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '8')
            values[i] = 8;
        else if(str.at(str.length()-1-i) == '9')
            values[i] = 9;
    for (int i=0; i < str.length(); ++i)
        return_value += values[i]^(10*i);
    return return_value;
}

I seem to get very weird answers like "12" returns 13 and "23" returns 11.
I know about stoi but I prefer to make my own so I can learn C++.

A: Three problems I can see on a quick look.
The first is that
int values [str.length()];

is not valid C++.   It is using a feature from the 1999 C standard, which some C++ compilers support as an extension, but it is still not valid C++.
The second is lack of handling of 0s or errors (non-digit characters) in input.
The third is the statement
return_value += values[i]^(10*i);

^ is a bitwise XOR operator in C++.  Not mathematical exponentiation.
A couple of other minor tips.
You can probably simplify your code a lot by using iterators.
Also, with all standard character sets, the roman digits are sequential, starting with '0'.   So a simple way to convert a digit to the numeric value you want is   digit - '0', which will convert '0' to 0, '1' to 1, .... '9' to 9.

A: In C++ I use std::stringstream to convert std::string to int. Simple example I found:
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>  //used for cout
int main()
{
    std::string str = "12345";
    std::istringstream ss(str);
    int i;
    ss >> i;
    if (ss.fail())
    {
        // Error
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout << "The integer value is: " << i;
    }
    return 0;
}

Mistakes in your code you can find in @Peter answer.

A: You could simplify this a lot with the char conversion where you just subtract the value of '0' and the use of iterators, especially reverse iterators which make it simpler to calculate the value.
#include <cmath>
#include <string>

/*! Converts a char to an integer.
 * @param c the character to convert
 * @return the integer value [0-9] or -1 if not convertible
 */
int chartoint(const char c)
{
    auto value = (c - '0');
    if (value < 0 || value > 9)
    {
        value = -1;
    }
    return value;
}

/*! Converts a string to an integer.
 * @param string the string to convert
 * @return the converted integer value or 0 if not convertible
 */
int strtoint(const std::string& string)
{
    auto integer = 0;
    const auto begin = string.rbegin();
    for (auto it = begin, end = string.rend(); it != end; ++it)
    {
        const auto current = chartoint(*it);
        if (current == -1)
        {
            integer = 0;
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            const auto factor = static_cast<int>(std::pow(10, (it - begin)));
            integer += factor * current;
        }
    }
    return integer;
}

Test run:
#include <cassert>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    assert(strtoint("1") == 1);
    assert(strtoint("1x") == 0);
    assert(strtoint("12") == 12);
    assert(strtoint("10") == 10);

    return 0;
}

Whether you are here to take courses that will literally change the course of your practice, are interested in expanding your knowledge on specific topics, or are simply fulfilling your continuing education needs, we are delighted to be your partner. Higher dental education, in any format, is an integral part of our growth- both personally and professionally. But how we receive and process information and how we learn has significantly changed over the years. Today, many dentists have less time and practice in an increasingly more competitive environment, so they want the information efficiently and with such impact to grow their practice to new heights.
Traditional dental educational programs provide the principles and science but are rarely practical for most clinicians. A few programs continue by offering hands-on modules to convey techniques or instrumentation- but often leave participants far behind its practicality. And even fewer programs take clinicians through actual patient treatments- wherein the encounter is often way too brief and superficial to be meaningful.

MSU researcher poses the question – what is the future of the Amazon forest?
Posted by Public Affairs on September 18, 2020
by Michigan State University
A tree burned in large-scale fires that occurred during a major Amazon forest drought in 2015/2016. This tree had been on the border of a savanna-to-forest transition zone in Alter do Chão, Santarém, Pará, Brazil.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Tropical ecosystems in the Amazon are threatened by deforestation, fire and drought. Over time, these disturbances may end up permanently changing forests into savanna-like areas, which could have devastating long-term effects globally.
Scott Stark, Assistant Professor in Michigan State University's Department of Forestry, recently published "Reframing tropical savannization: linking changes in canopy structure to energy balance alterations that impact climate" with a Brazilian and international team of scientists that discusses these topics in Ecosphere. (DOI:10.1002/ecs2.3231)
Stark also contributed to a letter on smoke pollution featured in Science magazine entitled "Smoke pollution's impacts in Amazonia." (DOI: 10.1126/science.abd5942)
"You can either have forest or savanna in the same climate and rainfall regions. The main thing that keeps these distinctively different from one another is fire. Savannas exist when there is periodic fire." said Stark. "To reduce global warming, it is better to have tropical forests stay forests rather than turn into tropical savannas."
As climate changes, Stark wants to determine if a tropical forest will stay a dense forest or turn into an open savanna. He is studying the factors that decide whether tropical forests will be converted into savanna in the long run. This question has a history in forest ecology, but the need to combat climate change by preserving forests makes it much more important now to predict precisely these transitions of forest to savanna.
The problem, Stark said, is what ecologists call "disturbance."
"Disturbances include droughts, which get worse from climate change. Droughts and other disturbances kill trees, and you certainly expect that will help give the forest a nudge towards turning into a savanna," he said.
Other disturbances are directly caused by humans, like partial "selective" logging, or clear cutting the forest and then later leaving it fallow to natural vegetation. Fires set to manage cleared land also can burn into nearby Amazon forests during the dry season and cause disturbances.
"Fire in old-growth Amazon forests is kind of shocking," said Stark. "These are rainforests with no real history of natural fire, and so you can imagine that some trees are likely to die after having their trunks damaged by fire. We don't really know what the consequence of this is for the future of the forest because of all of these new pressures now faced by the forest."

The Gendered and Ideological Politics of Meat
May 14, 2019May 14, 2019By Mary Imgrund
When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) announced the details of her Green New Deal, its mention of the beef industry inspired some of the most ire from her critics. The policy suggests that our government should work with ranchers and farmers to reduce the agricultural sector's greenhouse gas emissions, and a prematurely published FAQ page on her website bore its only mention of emissions from cattle. Nevertheless, politicians and cultural leaders insist on falsely suggesting that AOC and the nebulous political left are coming for your cheeseburgers, months later, using language that mirrors the rhetoric of gun rights advocates. Powerful men in suits hold press conferences in which they eat beef to demonstrate their dedication to personal freedoms and to scare viewers into believing in a vegan Big Brother coming for their refrigerators hoping to ruin cookout season forever.
The meat and dairy industries have successfully branded themselves as an essential part of American culture and lobbied themselves into a crucial part of our politics. Unfortunately, cattle farming is also a source of greenhouse gases, deforestation, and water contamination. We need to discuss how to mitigate the harm the industry does before the damage done to our environment is catastrophic, and we're too worried about losing millions of homes and lives to have opinions about our access to junk food. That discussion can't happen while so many people are fear mongering about the animal protein that's come to represent cultural values. Convictions about what we as a culture and individuals can and should eat are nothing new, but the politics of meat are particularly pointed because they're aligned along ideological and gendered lines.
Surprising no one, many of the politicians who began this pro-beef crusade are those who represent states whose economies are closely tied to the cattle industry. It's easy to forget, but farming in America is less a string of green-thumbed families carefully raising small herds of livestock and more a multi-billion dollar industry that produces a lucrative product, thousands of jobs, industry millionaires, and an effective political influence machine.

Recently, NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio announced a citywide version of the Green New Deal that includes reducing the amount of beef bought by the city for its public schools, prisons, and other facilities by half. The cattle industry responded by claiming there is little evidence linking cattle farming to climate change, despite ample research demonstrating causality. For example, cattle farming is estimated to use approximately 15,000 litres of water per kilogram of meat, is linked to severe deforestation and loss of natural resources, and is a significant contributor to the emission of greenhouse gasses.
The meat industry is deeply ingrained in the U.S. Government. Industry groups claim that meat is a nutritious meal, despite even more research to the contrary, and the USDA is unlikely to challenge that, thanks to the influence held by ranchers over the agency. The lobbying organizations that represent the cattle farmers and meat packers of America exude power not through direct donations to influence votes, but through becoming invaluable parts of the legislative and regulatory process. The expertise they provide is decidedly skewed pro-meat. When overworked legislative aids write draft legislation on something they might not know much about, they often rely on organizations to provide information or suggestions; the problem isn't that they need help understanding niche issues, it's that the advice given isn't necessarily impartial. Sometimes, groups will even pre-write bills or sections of regulation for their convenience, and their personally crafted wording might never be changed before it's made into law.
The politics of meat break along ideological lines because limiting meat production can be framed in the language of government overreach and individual liberties. American conservatism values individual freedom (unless you're a woman) and rejects public sector solutions, so naturally believes that Americans should be able to eat whatever they want whenever they want and that the government has no right to limit beef production.
The idea of government overreach is central to conservatism, which means that any attempt to reign in an industry, even one that hurts all of us, would be a mistake. Let the market decide, they say. However, the market is simply a collection of individuals making emotionally-driven choices about what to buy based on marketing and intangible traits. If the market were to act purely based on logical cost benefit analyses, the fat and cholesterol found in most processed meat products would make them untenable products. That's not what happens. Nevertheless, conservative American pundits fight for our right to be manipulated by ads to buy things and call it individual liberty.
Related Post: Advertising is Obsolete – Here's Why It's Time to End It
Beef products have also been symbolically linked to masculinity and even patriotism and success, as a melange of marketing and cultural mores socialize us to associate what we eat with who we are. In her 1990 book, The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol Adams uses intersectional critical theory to explore the relationship between consumption, dominance, and patriarchy. It's an interesting fusion of theories, though I am less interested in her focus on the ethics of consumption and animal welfare; I'm more interested in sociological, historical, and cultural evidence that makes meat a heuristic shorthand for masculinity. I see a culture war divide connecting meat consumption and toxic masculinity through our language and cultural symbols.
As with "cuck" or "beta-male," right-wing trolls will call leftist or perceived effeminate men "soy boys," a reference to the increase of estrogen a soy-based diet can trigger, though I believe this connection only strengthens an already biased cultural assumption, that real men eat meat. In American television, women eating salad while men devour a steak has become a heuristic, comedic reference to performative heteronormative gender expression. The comedy in Ron Swanson's character in Parks and Recreation, a popular sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2015, is that he is toxic masculinity personified and deconstructed, and a central part of that characterization is his affinity for meat. Meat is associated with hunting, self-sufficiency, action, and conquering nature, all traits typically gendered masculine in traditional Western cultures.
There's some data to back this up. In a 2018 psychological study, men exhibited stronger implicit association between meat and healthiness (though women also associated meat more often with healthy than unhealthy concepts) and terms of healthiness were defined (in polling, we say 'operationalized' or having been given a measurable, constrained definition) using masculine terms such as virile and powerful. While not a direct link between meat and men, it shows a positive correlation between meat products and masculine forms of strength and power.

This article isn't meant to make anyone feel any way about what any reader eats, but to bring attention to the cultural significance of this one piece in the fight against climate change. It's not just about meat production. Billions of dollars, cultural history, and personal identity are all tied up in this issue, and that's why it's so easily manipulated. Few would pay attention to a wonk-ish discussion about farming policy, but you can influence a massive population to rally around a non-controversy when yanking at the issues closest to us, individually.
