Oooooh.

Well, now I really, really want to eat that.

Oh I agree, that staple starches (which our digestive systems LOVE and have probably loved for tens of thousand of years) are okay isn't the weirdness, it's that human brains can be so strongly attached to easy starches (which are still pretty recent, evolutionarily speaking) and not much else. It just suggests that…

You have a remarkable consistency, E. You have no sympathy for anyone who doesn't share your exact experiences. There is no handicap, no debilitating condition, no misfortune what can make you stop for a moment, compare someone else's situation to yours and think, "That must be hard. I wish your life was better".

It's great that you're so non-judgmental that you've only chalked up their condition to sexual dysfunction.

Fake meat is just. Ugh. The vegetarian/vegan versions of meat/dairy-based recipes, okay. But fake meat, no. If you wanna live a meat/dairy/insect free life, power to you. But instead of switching to soy-based fake meats, spend a couple of years exploring existing vegetarian/vegan cuisines and recipes and…

Unless I'm mixing up history, potatoes being so nutritionally sufficient that people can survive on them alone for a long time was a major cause of the Irish potato famine. The Irish were forced to export most of their other crops for a long time, and subsided on the cheap, undesirable, but nutritionally sustainable…

You have all my sympathy.

Canned peaches are still a thing because unless you live in a peach-growing region, it's still impossible to buy real, ripe, sweet peaches, and then only in season.

Basically the 19th-mid-20th centuries, I guess. Food culture. Canned used to be a miracle. Then we developed post-war agriculture and shipping and stuff, and it's taken a while to catch up.

The only vegetables that belong on hot sandwiches are pickles* and onions.

It was the 50s/the Midwest.

My brother-in-law isn't quite at this level, but it's caused a LOT of stress for my sister, and there's gonna be more when they have kids.

I can't stand the texture of bananas. I eat half of one and I am done for a year.

Yeah. (Which, for the Darwinian socialists out there, doesn't mean much; human evolution proceeds slowly; this would be like arguing that people with hereditary tendencies towards cancer wouldn't survive long in societies where radiation exposure happens.)

Bland, highly digestible calories that come in consistent taste/texture combinations, I would assume.

Chicken livers are much tastier than beef livers. Just sayin'.

Boy, bye.

I mean, I'm not "for" major political figures demanding that minority citizens be placed on registration lists prior to being rounded up and placed in camps or deported or worse, but I am VERY AGAINST a private communications company no-platforming said major political figures for saying so. That's censorship! It's…
