You do know saying “OBVIOUS” doesn’t actually make something obvious, right?

4 oz of Impossible meat also has more than four times the sodium of 4 oz of beef, and given that sodium is bad for your blood pressure. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the US, so high sodium, less cholesterol doesn’t seem like a particularly improved trade off. Additionally, less protein also means you may not feel…

I should probably clarify that the numbers I’ve been looking at aren’t specific to Burger King, just 4 oz of beef compared to 4 oz of Impossible. If I had been using Burger King’s numbers, the sodium content of EITHER would have made me stroke out the moment I saw it.  JESUS.

Yeah, I feel ya. If a lab grown steak tasted as good as the real thing, I might be on board. Although, I’m concerned about the possibility it would be nutrient deficient. Animals retain the nutrients of what they eat, when you eat them, you get those nutrients. Lab grown meat isn’t going to have that, so I’m wondering…

Okay, so the numbers are sort of all over the place; some sources cite things substantially different than other sources.

Let me double check the numbers I’m looking at, I’ve seen a few different things from a few difference places.

Your comment about salt-laden fries emphasizes the point: fast food isn’t health food by any measure, and Impossible Burger (and Beyond Meat) are NOT a healthier alternative. Companies and consumers are more than willing to spread misinformation that it is better, and this product is selling decent numbers to poorly…

Fat is also higher. It doesn’t mention saturated fat at all, but that is higher. Okay, so I was wrong about calories. I was still correct in saying carbs, sodium, fat, and saturated fat, were higher, and protein is lower. The nutrients are added during processing, because people that don’t eat meat are already at risk…

I point out that vegetarians and vegans are largely not being drawn into fast food chains offering this, and that the primary consumers are people that eat meat, but this is actually not a healthier alternative to meat... and you react like an unhinged psychopath and insist it adds nothing to the discussion?…

It isn’t a healthier option. It has less protein, more sodium, more carbs, more fat, more trans-fat, and more calories.

Data shows that neither vegans nor vegetarians are flocking to fast food places for these things, so the majority of the sales are by people that eat meat. But the nutritional content is actually worse across the board for these compared to meat; they have less protein, more sodium, more fat, more trans-fat, more…

Looking at the various news sites today, there is a lot of praise for Marianne Williamson’s performance last night. I have to say, I really hope this isn’t a trend... like American voters are legitimately starting to gravitate toward the least capable people, like they did with Trump.

The entire Republican primary,…

Squeeeeeeeeep!!!! Pump those brakes, bucko! You mean to tell me Ronald Reagan, the guy who created the myth of the “welfare queen”, the guy who riled white people up with the idea that black folk were working the system, the guy that sold the narrative blacks were skipping out on work like lazy layabouts and taking tax…

Oh wow, it took me close to a day to answer a question I called rhetorical, which you just confirmed was rhetorical? HMMMM, INTERESTING.

Just for kicks, let me answer by saying, yeah sure, I totally agree with the immoral and unethical parts.  Now, I’ve answered the question, either how you wanted me to, or not how you wanted me to.  So we can move on to whatever nonsense you were trying to set up.  Proceed.

Why does anyone watch this show?  The whole thing is fake, so what’s the draw?

“Who is to blame?”

Um... the person that left them in the car is to blame. Nobody else is responsible for getting the child out of the car. The child isn’t responsible for getting itself out. The police are responsible. The fire department isn’t responsible. The paramedics aren’t responsible.

Sure, if that’s what floats your boat, random nobody from the internet.

Well, I can debate the legality of what people did 400 years ago, since law is ultimately enforced by those with the power to enforce whatever law they believe should be observed. What I can’t debate is the moral point that they treated the indigenous people favorably, because they certainly did not.

It was founded on conquered land, just like almost every other nation in history, and just like the tribes that were already here, claiming land from each other. And when someone stronger comes for “our” land, their nation will also be founded on conquered land. “Stealing” land implies there is an objective…
