Things Food Snobs Are Wrong About

Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

never to sick to make up genders

Hey y’all, so, with my chronic illness and executive functioning issues there is like NO WAY I’lll be able to keep up modding this blog (especially since I’ve been gone for like, ever). Not that this blog is stopping, I’m sure the other mods will keep up.

However, I’m very invested in the goal for this blog. Not gonna lie, sometimes there’s been issues here that I’m not happy with. But I’m pretty detached from the blog itself now. I feel like starting a new project but I’m kinda stumped. I’d love ideas from anyone who would be interested in that.

I still consider myself an affiliate here, but I’m gonna resign for now. I don’t want to be inactive in the community, though, so I hope I figure something out.

Also, to those wishing to join the skype group, I’d recommend messaging someone besides me because I don’t log in anymore. If any other mod wants to offer their info that’d be fine.

I’m still gonna coin genders and make flags sometimes.

Comparing ‘normal’ heads to brachycephalic heads within a species.

There is increasing pressure to breed for longer noses, or in some cases any nose at all, in purebred animals because of its negative effects on welfare. These images help show the difference in morphology very well. It is the extremeness of these features that correlate with health problems.
