Slop.

I think a lot of it stems from the commodification of healthcare and an overall distrust of institutions. "They" just want you to get sick so that you can be given prescriptions etc. Which getting a general vibe of American capitalism isn't particularly sensationist, they can see that basically everything falls under the profit motive but aren't able to articulate why other than we're seen as disposable. This likely becomes more acute with age as people see friends/family abused and disregarded by health providers, and our monkey brains fall back on "Well there must be something I can do so this doesn't happen to me and I can't pronounce words with more than two syllables and things I don't understand scare me."

A lot of the organic fanaticism also comes out of the same vein, that most farmers are dousing everything with synthetic pesticides and are either ignorant or malicious with their use. Obviously if I can pronounce organic pesticides like boron or copper sulfate that means they're not bad for you and definitely don't bioaccumulate or cause brain and organ damage when ingested regularly (most people assume organic produce has no pesticides and that's why its more expensive).

This is also coming from someone that replaces olive oil in marinara sauce with beef tallow

it looks like a serving size is 46% sugar+fat by weight.

by comparison, i have a chocolate chip cookie recipe i describe as the pancreas killer, only to be used once or twice a year to throw down at a potluck, which is 33% sugar+fat by weight.

i would love to know what monstrosity this box is for. also, 60g serving size? but 10% of your upper intake limit of salt? what the hell frosting-covered breakfast sausage is this clown stuffing into his gob?

You'd love my father, he has a similar thought process that because it's homemade, it's healthier. Never mind that's it a cake with one and a half cups of sugar in it, or literally greasy red meat and bread or some other shit

He also is the type to ask a fruit seller if the fruit is good, so there's that.

Just remembered this old Snopes post https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/canola-oil/ so I guess the anti-seed oil crap has been around for a while.

"is that ham processed? If it's processed I don't want it" Ma'am, that is an eleven pound whole slab of deli ham. It has no bones, fat, or connective tissue. It is an amalgamation of the meat of several pigs, emulsified, liquefied, strained, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy meat obelisk. God had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this ham monolith exists proves that God is either impotent to alter His universe or ignorant to the horrors taking place in his kingdom. This prism of pork is more than deli meat. It is a physical declaration of mankind's contempt for the natural order. It is hubris manifest. We also have a lower sodium variety if you would prefer that.

"Literally EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE is made of chemicals!" *

(* as far as we know)

There's a metric fuck ton of type 2 vegans and it's exhausting.

i'm vegan #1

Lots of options for emulsifiers. Mustard, garlic, and any fruit with pectin (apples, pears). Really a lot of seeds can work. Of course the extracted versions of these chemicals are much better for general cooking because they have no/little flavor compared to fucking garlic lmao

Anyone who gets upset about scary chemical names is just stuck in their lizard brain

xanthan gum as well iirc

What the fuck does this guy have against plant oil?

I’m desperate to see the menu but I get a security warning when opening the site, I see olive oil get replaced a lot due to how expensive it is, never have I seen someone replace it with an even more expensive and ill fitting fat like tallow.

makes teriyaki sauce without soy sauce or sugar

straight to jail

I don't understand how this happens. This guy obviously had an idea, but no skill or ability to execute on it, and was able to secure a loan that he obviously wouldn't be paying back.

Why did no one at any point in this whole thing stop him before it got this bad? Or at least provide him with the resources he needed to actually learn how to run and grow his business properly.

Though I suppose "Why did no one at any point in this whole thing stop him before it got this bad?" Could be the motto of the US really.

And only partially censored at that. Also what are the other black bars covering? Is this like how conservatives Randomly capitalize words that shouldn't be?

I mean everyone who has ever consumed dihydrogen monoxide has died so
