Except by “thriving black neighborhood” you mean redline district. I think that makes this restaurant much more tone deaf than just the fact that black people historically lived in the area. This neighborhood has a lot of racial history that’s so awful this restaurant is sadly, barely a drop in the bucket of the…

There are lots with under 5g/sugar for the whole bar(about 200 calories). I’m a huge fan of them, but I don’t even allow myself to taste the high sugar varieties for fear of ruining the low sugar ones!

Have you ever seen a Kind bar? They’re literally nuts glued together with a binder.

Yes. This. The dark chocolate sea salt Kind Bars are great as a between meal snack when you need something with actual substance. I get that the saturated fat content is a bit high, but the sugar is low, the energy is long lasting, and the saturated fats are coming from a healthy source.

The chocolate Sea Salt flavor isn’t all that bad for you. It’s got 5g of sugar in 200 calories. Any fat in it is coming from the nuts. I don’t really get the hate to be honest. Kind bars can be really healthy and as low as 3g/sugar per bar with loads of protein and fiber to give you lots of long lasting energy.

I'm not sure what the OP here is talking about. I work with a local organization that regularly will specifically ask for gift cards that they can give to clients. It's a small bit of autonomy not regularly seen by the most marginalized populations that can give a real morale boost. Gift cards are documented just like…

What does "nutritionist" mean? Literally nothing. I think the better question is whether or not their trainer is a registered dietician.

I have so many experiences with this as a fellow shelter kitchen worker. From everything I have heard/learned it often has to do with coming down. Sundays are the worst. Everyone coming down so hard from their Saturday night. Blegh.

It feels like in the Portland area there are drop boxes within a few mile radius of any location. Most libraries have a drop box, some even have drop boxes like old VHS return boxes at video rental stores. You don't even have to get out of your car to drop it off, the epitome of lazy! I've never actually mailed in my…

This might be parsing words, but Oregon mails ballots out to all registered voters. You will not get a ballot if you are not registered.

That is a huge piece of the problem! 24 hour news outlets need all the eyeballs they can get, fear-mongering totally gets them those eyeballs.

Are you trolling? The world is more dangerous than it was? That's simply not true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_…

But why Val Kilmer, why not someone like Kurt Russell or Christian Bale? I mean they're both super sexy just like you.

Don't degrade Dave Groll like that man.

No, she states in the article that the car was low end as Mercedes go. So, yes she could have sold it for $15k, paid at the cheapest $12k for a reliable new car after licensing etc. and she would have had what a month and a half's worth of mortgage payments? That sounds like a sound financial decision to you? But we…

What are you planning to vape? If you want to vape herb it's more expensive to find a vaporizer that doesn't combust the flowers than if you've got oils and all that jazz. I really like the Wispr 2 by Iolite for vaping herbs. It's a bit expensive but you can find genuine Wispr's on eBay for much cheaper than through…

You might think that Mercedes don't depreciate at a normal rate, but they do. This is especially true for low end models of Mercedes as it sounds like she had. For a trade in on a 5 year old low end Mercedes she would have realistically been looking at getting ~$15k. What new Honda Fit or Toyata Yaris would have cost…
