Would they really have the time to fact-check the gish-gallop Vance will ejaculate on them? That's just not even feasible to get through the more egregious lies. He already said he just makes shit up. This will be the largest public face-time he will ever have (hopefully) and it all but guarantees he will shamelessly dial the horseshit up, if not just for sound bites.
And yeah, I decided to use that word.
The fire got out of control after he threw a spray can into the blaze. ... This guy is clearly meant for bigger things.
He sure seems to be ignorant of a lot of critically fucking important things within his own party/cabinet. I should want someone with slightly more curiosity and awareness if I seriously expect them to handle being the president of the goddamned united states.
He'll be lucky to be able to walk by then.
I didn't know Slagathor was still making noise. The bigger question is, why are we listening?
It's pretty tasty, to me at least. But I like mushrooms so YMMV. That said, it's not overly earthy or eating a bag of shrooms. If you ever, as a kid, saw a tin that said Hersheys on it in the cupboard and grabbed a spoon; well, it's like that, but a little better. The cocoa in it is what gives you the caffeine bump IIRC. Assuming the ingredients are legit, then there is good stuff in it, but I think this is really geared toward another group of people than anyone trying to curb coffee. If it was cheaper, I'd drink it every day.
To answer the question, sorta, you could grind a batch of lions mane and chaga and have at it. This has other stuff in it to for palatability, but like you said, you could make your own variety if you want. Again, assuming the ingredients are accurate, it would be good for you, as long as you can manage to choke it down.
I had totally forgotten about Veat. But you also reminded me about the Morningstar riblets. If those were around in the late eighties, early ninties, that would be my answer. It would have made me rethink the whole meat industry.
Of course the barbarisim and inefficiencies of meat/dairy production as a whole should be enough, but I wasn't exactly the deepest thinker when I was younger.
That's a good question but hard to nail down. In terms of nutrition, I was in decent shape as an omnivore in my late teens, early twenties, but nutrition was miles away from any thoughts I had on my diet. And even then, back in the late 90s/turn of the millinea, most substitutes and otherwise interesting plant-based foods didn't exist, had limited availability or were pretty rough (cheeses, burgers etc...). Best we had was Morningstar corn dogs, boca and tofutti slices.
I think Soy Curls were hitting the market up in Portland around that time (2k-ish), and that would have been mega when I was younger. But I was in Sac/San Diego at that time and distribution wasnt as widespread, or at least I hadn't seen them. Though, now that I think of it, you could get big tvp chunks in 16oz bags at Trader Joe's in that timeframe, so I guess that's my primary answer.
That said, I suppose I would have loved to discover Sunflower Cafe in Fair Oaks (Sacramento CA area) earlier on before going vegan. The super nut-burgers are amazing and that might have driven me to joining the dark side a lot sooner.
Knock your knuckles against your car door to zap static electricity on something less sensitive.
For those who enjoy peanut butter and banana sandwiches, take it to the next level with Sriracha sauce.
The latter, just to make everyone else in my organization question themselves. Whether it is correct or not is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the seed of uncertainty that I plant every day.
