Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Stopping By Amazon Go NYC


Amazon Go has seven locations around Manhattan and they are all convenience stores.  I visited the 42nd street location to better familiarize myself with the "GO" experience.  The location was clean and there weren't many people inside except for a worker or two.  There were a variety of sandwiches, snacks, soups, salads, drinks and etc.  Being a born New Yorker, I can give my honest opinion on what I think of this "convenience store." It's definitely not like your traditional bodega or corner store which tend to be stocked with more than just food.  Bodegas or convenience stores have everything from skincare to home essentials to pet food.   Amazon Go is a very scaled down bodega with high technology that allows for a seamless, quick meal shopping experience. That is--if cold cuts are your thing!  And yes, I said quick meal, meaning grab a bahn mi sandwich and make a dash back to the office or wherever you're headed to, as I did not see any seating inside the store.   I also didn't notice any extraordinary offerings of organic and natural food brands typical of the ones you'd see in a Whole Foods.





What I love about Amazon Go 

The main purpose of Amazon Go stores is to provide a cash and cardless shopping experience for customers who are on the go.  The most petulant aspect of shopping for many is having to wait in lines. Amazon Go offers a very innovative solution by getting rid of the line experience and allowing users to grab items they want and pay for it at the same time with no interactions.  It gives shopping for the independent and this is what I love most about Amazon Go! I think that they will continue to lead technological advances when it comes to cashless shopping.  However, right now, it's very restrictive to those who do like paying with their cash or cards or those who may not have their phones with them as payment happens via sensors and in app.  Basically, these types of customers have no choice but to exit the store, the minute they walk in.  Maybe Amazon should incorporate a dual shopping experience that allows for traditional shopping, such as a dedicated aisle for regular checkout or self checkout.  I mean--you're clearly losing money from these customers--I'm just saying.  So while you have the vision for the future in motion, you could also slowly wean these traditional shopping customer types into shoppers of the future because some do need time to make adjustments.




What I What to See from Amazon Go

I want to see a full fledged Amazon Go Grocery store in lower New York whether that be in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn or even Westchester. I think it's time Amazon because the Amazon Go convenience stores are very limited and don't have everything that the average person walking into a bodega or grocery store would need.  Amazon Grocery has recently opened up in Ealing, London and there is only one other location in Seattle.  Amazon does own Whole Foods and they also have a grocery delivery service called Amazon Fresh so maybe that's a reason they haven't opened up more Amazon Go Grocery stores.  I believe New Yorkers who are Amazon shoppers would be quite happy to see an Amazon Go Grocery store as prices on Amazon really can't be beat!

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
