On this blog I often post about how diseases of civilization are dietary in nature, such that they are largely happening because of people eating foods made with ultra processing that no one does at home, then shelf life enhancing chemicals + artificial colors & flavors are added to the bland tasteless dehydrated industrial modified starch extracted from GMO soy or GMO wheat, then trans fats form when the Vegetable Oil added & heated in the UPF, because Omega 6 oxidizes easily when heated forming trans fats that harden & narrow arteries & veins faster along with AGE or advanced glycation end products.
VIOXX was miracle as an anti-inflammatory drug with unmatched efficacy, but killed a lot of people with heart disease, as it would erode their mitral valves between the ventricle & atrium of the heart, reducing the ejection fraction, causing loss of blood oxygen saturation, hypoxia, cell death, diseases, then early death. What makes Merck Evil is that they knew about VIOXX heart valve toxicity problems 5 years before selling VIOXX to millions of people, causing hundreds of thousands of victims to die sooner from VIOXX toxicity problems. The US Pharmaceutical industry has a long history of selling the public dangerous prescription drugs, like the Perdue opioid debacle, that is now killing young people with Fentanyl poisoning deaths.
Bliss point engineering means industrial food ultra processing GMO powders flavored & colored artificially have excess sugar, salt & trans fats added by means of hydrogenated cottonseed oil containing residues dissolved in the oil of oil soluble ag chemicals added to industrial farm crops to control pests, weeds, insects or fungi, but those same ag chemicals are analogs to drugs of abuse & chemical weapons, & soil at these industrial farms becoming a dust bowl of dead dry tan colored sand rocks dirt that blows away in wind & washes away in the rain.
Camp Lejune management was dumping used dirty dry-cleaning chemicals into the water supply of tens of thousands of people, many of whom developed deadly diseases from exposure to these poisons in their water supply.
Washington Works owned by DuPont released PFAS any of 10,000 different, as industrial waste foam into rivers proving water for drink & farm use, which was causing the farm animals to get very ill and die quickly. On the History Channel it was shown that a man was oiling roads with waste oil obtained from nearby factories, but a change causes dioxins to be loaded into his oiling truck, which he then used to oil a horse arena to keep dust down, but it caused the horses to get sick & die quickly.
Most doctors are vividly well aware that industrial pollution causes diseases. CO or carbon monoxide, that attaches to red blood cells instead of oxygen, CO bonds to blood cells stronger than Oxygen, which is why breathing CO indoors can become fatal, as many generators feature CO warning labels. I would think the nasty exhaust smell of a small backup generator & noise of the emitted exhaust would be enough to scare someone away from running a backup generator inside their house during a winter storm power outage.
As a kid & teen on the local TV news I always saw stories of people in apartments dying of CO poisoning because a winter storm caused a longer duration power outage, so they run a gasoline fueled backup generator inside their home to make electricity during the power outage, then fall asleep & die of CO poisoning. Oxides of nitrogen are also gas pollution poisons, like nitrogen dioxide or NO2, an orange brown gas formed during combustion of gasoline, diesel, coal, wood, biofuels, because air 80% nitrogen, the hot combustion combines some Oxygen with Nitrogen instead of just oxidizing carbon to water vapor & CO2 as would happen in unrealistic ideal combustion conditions that seem to never happen in the real world.
I have a very quiet Honda EU 2000 low noise 46 decibels exhaust, pull start air cooled carburetor inverted generator of 1600watts nominal and 2000 watts peak for 30 seconds, that sips stabilized gasoline regular unleaded ethanol free straight or pure gasoline that I get at The Grange in a sealed push button dispensing 10 L or 2.5 Gal polymer red colored gas can, that I fill the generator with. I keep it topped off with fuel to minimize air & moisture above the fuel top fill line in the fuel tank when cap is screwed down there is almost no air gap, its fully full of fuel when I cool it down, wrap in its OEM COVER & then a giant plastic bag & store it in the shipping box with fuel & oil ready to go active standby, then pull it out every couple months & run it for 30 min to keep fresh fuel topped off, check the oil, change the engine oil, inspect & test the generator, and do so outside at the edge of my covered patio where the exhaust pointed outward so it blows away from the patio, otherwise the patio would stink of exhaust that is unhealthy or toxic to breath. Enter why stop & go traffic congestion exposes commuters to unhealthy tailpipe emissions of similar smelly toxic substances known as air pollution.
During a recent crazy windstorm power outage for 8 days, internet out for 10 days, I ran this EU2000 generator for 16 hours per day in ECO mode, operating at the edge of the Patio, I used a 25 foot outdoor 12/3 cable with neon glow head to move the generator power inside through a gap in the patio slider taped over on both sides of the gap with white waterproof duct tape to keep the cold air & exhaust gas outside, then used the power to run our Fridge and when the Fridge not running, I was using the power to run a 1500 watt electric space heater, back and forth all day with not much to do other than use our butane camping stove to make hot water & tea, or propane refill of such to run the camping stove to cook eggs & soup & stew, to cook food for breakfast or lunch or dinner.
We have a battery backup power generator of 512 watt hour & additional 512 watt hour LFP that plugs into for a 1kWh indoor power system that was able to run our LED TV & Blue-Ray player to play movies for moral enjoyment. Known online as Battery Generators and are available at many capacities & prices points, stick to longer lasting Lithium Iron Phosphate battery generators with pure sinewave inverters & clean low noise power to energize electronics.
You can buy a large 12 volt LFP & plug it into the back of the battery generator with an adapter cable, so it feeds its power into the battery generator to extend your capacity more cheaply than buying a much more expensive larger capacity generator. If you have to move this kit, one person can grab the larger LFP battery & its cable to connect, then the other person can grab the Battery Generator & charging cable bag. In this way you can split up the heavy lifting to go mobile & we do that when camping or glamping.
Remember that intelligence & common sense are both on a spectrum. I find it annoy to remove idiot labels from power cables or extension cables & recently wrote a post about how schools should be teaching basic stem about how extension cables move power & how to safely use an extension cable, or size the wire size of the cable to the wattage of the loads applied by looking at the power wattage on the information sticker of the device they are plugging in with the extension cable to make sure the cable can carry enough wattage for the appliance or machine or tolls or space heater or vacuum or pump or similar electronics. Power consumption can often be found in the user manual of a device by looking up its model number & finding the manual as a PDF online that you can download & read on smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.
