I have so much rage that the Republicans are willing to overlook ANYTHING in their lust for tax cuts, which, as an economic theory of stimulating growth, have proven to be particularly ineffective.

this gives me soooo much freaking rage

That was the original sentence. Then California ended the death penalty, which turned all death sentences to life sentences. He was never going to get out. And the truth is that he was a celebrity when he was originally tried. He did not become more of a celebrity after he was convicted. Whatever “cult hero” status…

I wholeheartedly believe this. His beef was with Terry Melcher for not giving him a record deal.

Yay for your burpday! :D

Of course they did. Because they are maniacs. Remember that these are the people who were going to pay Michael Flynn and his son $15 million to kidnap a harmless Muslim cleric who has lived a blameless life for years in a cottage in the Poconos, put a black bag over his head, drive him to an airport, and rendition…

I’m so glad she stood up to him and his sleazy politician-speak. My undergrad major was political science and our professor had one of our Senators come to speak. I don’t remember what he talked about but I remember that he very smoothly managed to not give an actual answer to any of the questions he took. It was like…

For years after an accident where I ended up having enough CAT scans to comprise a course of radiation therapy from non-hodgkins’ lymphoma, I choked down the maximum recommendation of 11 servings of fruits and veggies per day. It’s a lot of food, and a lot of work. It just is. I started cooking and/or cleaning a…

You are so right about the steaming. Steaming is what you do to pre-prep your veggies before you roast, broil, pan-fry, or sauté them!

One thing that really helped me eat more veggies was trying to only have one meal a day with meat in it (seriously, I knew I didn’t need meat for breakfast). Also once I realized that steaming is the way that the Devil wants you to cook veggies. Steamed veggies are fucking gross. Veggies baked with olive oil, pepper…

As someone else said, it’s two cups by volume, not weight. It’s really not that much; basically a couple of zucchini, a carrot, and an apple would meet it.

You’re confusing volume ounces with mass ounces.

I think veggies taste pretty good, but they are time consuming to prepare compared to other things.

The time investment is also a factor. If you can’t shop and cook from scratch on a regular basis, produce is going to go bad before you use it.

I know I am the world’s oldest child, but if it tastes terrible, I won’t eat it. To me, all brassicas taste like farts. The texture of most squash activates my gag reflex. The fruits I find to be acceptable in both flavor and texture are also chock full of sugar. I am trying to eat more fruits and veggies, but there…

I also think its the fact that many Americans dont cook or dont know how to cook. I was raised vegetarian in India and we eat vegetables, spices and lentils every single day. We have fantastic simple recipes and they are all tasty—atleast to me. So, being vegetarian is easy and tasty. I know someone who decided to…

Yeah, I think taste has a lot to do with it. When I was living in Egypt I couldn’t eat enough mangoes and grapes and oranges and figs and dates. They were all so fresh and soooo good. Not to mention the eggplant and beans and onions and cucumbers and tomatoes, etc etc. Here, I still buy and eat all the same fruit and…

Well, yes, veggies are expensive and they do not taste that good.

Keep that at the top of the list for the new name we will be giving to the dystopia left behind after American folds and most of the land is unlivable.
