Are disposable gloves less waste than custom packaging?

I’m convinced that if millennials are bad at seasoning/cooking it’s specifically because our parents were. The difference is because we grew up with it a lot of them didn’t question it I guess.

Pretty sure the concept of rinsing chicken has been considered worse than not doing so, as it does more to spray any bad shit to more further flung areas of a kitchen. Here’s an entire google search on the subject:

Goop.

This isn’t the first time I’ve read a story like this, and every time I just cannot comprehend why the husband wouldn’t just cook. I mean, I like to cook, but I’m also very lazy, so I’d definitely let a partner cook for me if they wanted to. But not if they were cooking unseasoned chicken in a pan.

My wife’s best friend is a vegetarian but her husband eats meat and their one kid is allergic to so much crap that meat is the only protein source he can eat.

I’m not sure where you’re getting this idea about young people; most of the ones I know enjoy cooking, especially with fresh ingredients and seasonings. Meanwhile, it’s the boomers who fell in love with the convenience of just heating up something that came in a package rather than doing all the prep their parents…

That sounds awful, sorry you have to deal with that. And I think this is a wider problem whenever an innovation like this is introduced. People always assume (and the media often reports it this way) that it’s catering to the lazy or the entitled, but so often this kind of thing is a boon to people with some sort of…

It’s being released in the U.K. How does that infantilize the U.S.?

“We find it disconcerting that shoppers are so removed from their food that they have these concerns”

Yes, not having to worry about the nastier parts of food production is what humanity has generally considered “progress.” Those that disagree are free to wallow around in filth to get their first hand knowledge of the…

I have friends who say that annoying thing, “I just don’t want to compromise on feeding my family quality food.”

Frankly the study arrives at a conclusion that shows it’s author’s biases and is downright class based. 

It seems like you could market this as preventing contamination of other kitchen surfaces, rather than being for people who are squeamish about touching meat...

it’s a way to feel superior to others

This is a justification of their logical fallacy that things that cost more are better. Because they must be, right? Otherwise they’re wasting all that money on gluten-free tortillas that fall apart when exposed to air.

They have to invent problems for themselves so that they can feel like a victim and not the spoiled brats they are. There is a reason good allergies and these theories pop up more often with rich people rather than everyone else.

Oh yeah, it’s also the rich who tend to believe in anti-vaccines as well. If they can afford to maintain their beliefs, not much can sway them to reject them. The rest of us can’t afford to do much but shrug.

Every rich family I know has some kind of annoying food beliefs or practices. They decided to go gluten-free, they only buy organic, they swear by oils, they only shop at Whole Foods, etc. Often, it’s a competition to see who eats the “best” and it’s a way to feel superior to others who can’t afford the same organic,…

Another take is that rich people are more able to afford indulging in food conspiracies... when you’re pinching pennies to get some protein on the plate you’re not paying 2x more for the organic broccoli because you think it’s better for you even though testing has shown organic vegetables have no measurable…

A lot of the comments are assuming not wanting to touch raw chicken is because you’re squeemish or prissy. No, I’m immuno-compromised and dealing with salmonella splash on my hands, cutting boards, counter, and sink just to have a meal can be tiresome.
