I have friends that talk about getting food delivered nearly daily, plus groceries and whatnot. I am so frugal it makes my asshole pucker to think about delivery fees PLUS them getting your order wrong so often PLUS the food is cold and takes way longer than simply driving there. And then in addition, we actually need the human contact. But I'm not gonna criticize my friends to their faces. Just here.

Slicing them to vastly multiply their surface area so that more Maillard reaction can occur, and it's that Maillard reaction that causes the yummy browning, and causes the proteins and starches to change and become potentially harmful/carcinogenic, plus yes the addition of fatty oil that wasn't present at all.

A lot of us think of "processing" as like, something a food processor does - reducing and changing the form. But it's also the chemical changes that occur during cooking as a result of the physical processes. When you look at the before/after of a potato and an equal volume of fries, it's apparent you've drastically changed the base food.

I'm getting rid of my optometrist because of the site, but not saying why - if they're stupid enough to identify this way, let them so we all know.

If they would have just kept at it, they'd have put in their 10,000 hours and become experts at finding that dog.

Unscrupulous, no regard for the law in creatively hocking a product, give this man an MBA

Honestly what do they, as individual career politicians in a now-nakedly-corrupt industry, stand to gain from fixing any of it? Their actions are primariy about advancing their careers because Congress has been broken for years and what else would they do?

The consultant's credo is, "if you can't be part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."

Meaning the politician's credo is now the reverse "There's good money to be made in prolonging the problem, you won't be part of the solution."
