I didn’t know about this but I’ll definitely tune in. I love “regular” Naked & Afraid and I’ve always found it a little puzzling that it *never* appears to end in a romantic connection. I mean, you’ve got two attractive people who have a similar niche-y interest in outdoor survival; they have nothing to do for three

i worked night shift on the crew that blurred out the bits on the XL show. it’s amazing how pedestrian the nudity is when it’s uncensored. it’s almost like the matrices make it more titillating than it actually is.  people doing things naked is actually quite unsexy and totally boring lol.  

Incentivizing health...hmmm. I feel like there’s an example I could point to that shows this doesn’t work...like the one where scientists say, hey! for your health, please wear this minor annoyance on your face when you’re in public, and get this FDA-approved vaccine that will most likely make you sleepy for a couple

News flash: making shit food more expensive does not make the other food cheaper.

It just makes food more expensive.

Not good with math, are you?

I watched the first hour, but I can’t take it. I was cringing too much. I like watching the “normal” Naked and Afraid, probably mainly to shout at the TV, “Build a simple fireplace to protect your fire from the rain!” and, “That shelter isn’t adequate for how cold it’s going to be tonight!”

I had a job where my boss was obsessed with sweet green and would offer to buy me lunch whenever she was getting lunch there. Never one to turn down free food, I must have tried 40+ times to find something at sweet green I liked. It never happened. 

I’m about to get angry now...

See, but, I’m guessing you don’t know what K Street means, nor about the revolving door between lobbyists and gvt. employees... If you start litigating the food-chain, you’ll probably do some good here and there, but ‘Merica runs on special interest money, and the end results will come from power-plays rather than the

Funny, he’s not giving away his $11 salads to those disproportionately affected by obesity and conditions related to unhealthy diets: the poor. This company’s always had a stink to it. It doesn’t take cash (which is illegal, at least in PA), alienating anyone who might not have or want to use a bank card: poor people,

The tax shouldn’t be on the food itself. It should be taxed to the wealthy, and the proceeds used to fund national healthcare. Just taxing food that already-poor people can afford is not going to help.

I’m just here to start a conversation, but should we think about stringing up every ceo by their ankles to lamp posts? Not incitement, just making conversation. À la lanterne!

Why support nationalized healthcare for your employees when you can replace your workers with robots?

I went to the Sweetgreen website to check the nutritional information of their food and the first thing the site did was offer me a cookie so fuck that hypocritical fatphobe.

youre telling me a big mac is a salad now? awesome!

I gotta say “eating raw vegetables processed at ‘big chain’ scale” is always kind of like playing roulette with your microbiome.  So I’m not sure the Sweetgreen guy has what’s best for me in mind.

fucking preach all day. years ago my future former husband and i were caught in a very shit financial situation and were on SNAP for about a year. we were working three jobs between the two of us while he was going to school full time, and i was literally donating plasma for bus money so i could get to my retail job -

Cool. Sink more of your folding money into solving the problem of food deserts*. Community garden programs, farm-to-table programs, etc., and push to make a few days’ worth of healthy meals cheaper than a 1600-calorie heart attack.

Here’s nutritional info for one dish:

Hey asshole! If you want people to eat more salads, how about not charging ~$13 for them in your restaurants? People don’t eat salads because they’re ridiculously expensive, and preparing them at home require a bunch of ingredients that are often way too expensive to purchase and time-consuming to prepare for many

Indeed, fat is a poverty problem. Low quality food is cheap, but you have to eat more of it to achieve anything like satiation.

The fact that FOOD PROCESSORS fill our diets with fat and sugar is in no way the fault of poor/fat people.

Wanna decrease obesity - give out more SNAP and WIC funds, along with education on
