#24 Short story /  Buying Mittens ep2 / storytelling // N3 Level

In recent years, we have been encouraged to reduce the amount of meat we eat — for health reasons and to help protect the environment.

Red meat, in particular, has been shown to increase the risk of some health problems, while the farming of cows for food has a negative impact on the planet.

And these days, restaurants around the world that have traditionally focused on meat-based meals, including places like McDonald's and KFC, have begun to add more plant-based choices to their menus.

But the question some people are asking is: Can I eat less meat and still be healthy?

According to 2022 research, the answer could be "yes."

Researchers in Italy and Spain compared studies on the health benefits of animal proteins and plant-based or vegetable proteins.

We all need protein in our diets, wherever it comes from.

Plant-based or vegetable proteins include things like chickpeas, beans and nuts, as well as broccoli, kale and tofu.

And the study found that vegetable proteins can reduce the risk of things like heart disease and strokes, compared to animal proteins.

The researchers said that animal and vegetable proteins had similar effects on muscle and bone health.

However, they did find that vegetable or plant-based proteins might not give quite enough vitamin B12, although they were not able to explain why the two proteins have different effects on the body.

The researchers added that the lower environmental impact of plant-based proteins was too important to forget.

The health of the planet, they said, cannot be separated from the health of our bodies.

Spanish is a very international language, there are more that twenty Hispanic countries, each of them with dozens of different accents and dialects. In this episode I would like to discuss what accent or dialect is the best for a Spanish student (in case there is actually one).

JAPÓN Y MÉXICO.

Los primeros contactos de amistad entre México y Japón se dieron con el naufragio del Galeón San Francisco frente a las costas de Iwawada (hoy Onjuku) en su camino de regreso de las Filipinas a la Nueva España el 30 de septiembre de 1609, cuando los tripulantes del galeón recibieron ayuda de la población de esa localidad japonesa. Gracias a esta acción, se salvaron 317 tripulantes, de 376 que viajaban en la nave. El gobernante japonés de la época, el shogún Tokugawa Ieyasu, ordenó a un ex marino inglés, William Adams, que facilitara a los novohispanos una nueva embarcación, que se llamó el San Buenaventura, en la que lograron retornar a la Nueva España casi un año después, el 23 de octubre de 1610.

Los primeros visitantes japoneses llegaron a México en 1610, en principio sólo acompañando a Rodrigo de Vivero en su viaje de retorno. En 1614, Hasekura Tsunenaga llegó a Acapulco con 60 samuráis y 130 comerciantes. 

Productos japoneses como textiles, biombos y objetos de arte llegaban esporádicamente a la Nueva España, transportados en el Galeón de Acapulco a Manila. Al igual que en otras naciones asiáticas, en Japón se extendió el uso de monedas de plata mexicana durante varios siglos. Asimismo, en 1732 fue publicado en la Ciudad de México un libro sobre el idioma japonés. 

 Los contactos oficiales reiniciarían hasta el siglo XIX después de la Restauración Meiji en Japón y de que México obtuviera su independencia.

En 1874 una comisión mexicana de astrónomos, encabezada por Francisco Díaz Covarrubias, viajó a Japón para observar el paso del planeta Venus por el círculo solar el 9 de diciembre y  a partir de esas observaciones, determinar las dimensiones reales del sistema solar. La Comisión presentó un largo y bien documentado reporte sobre sus observaciones astronómicas que recibió elogios de sus colegas estadounidenses, franceses y rusos. También produjeron un notable reporte sobre la situación económica, política y social de Japón...
