I also love how his lawyer was the guy who defended pharma bro Martin Shkreli. Yes, everyone is entitled to a zealous defense, but this guy picks the scummiest of the monied scummy.

“I quickly developed a cult following. That sounds pretty good, but the truth is it’s the last thing you want to develop. The only time having a cult following is a great thing is when you are actually in a cult. Then you get be a cult leader and life is milk and honey… everyone thinks you are God… you get to lie…

Tag yourself I’m the shocked woman on the lower left hand corner.

My aunt was interviewed and photographed for this story. She loved her job for a long time. Loved it. She’s the fun aunt of the family. We’d stop by her store to watch her do fancy stuff in the middle of fancy things; corporate suit on, bunch of paper work, keys to everything. And even as kids we noticed she was…

Yep. It was my first, only baby. Luckily I had a big enough support system of old school moms to tell me that the internet ladies should be soundly ignored.

My daughter and I were both Jaundiced and anemic when she was born and because I was also fairly...unhealthy at the time I had a very hard time producing milk...like MAYBE three ounces a day. So I supplemented with formula and made the giant...unheardof mistake of asking for advice about it online.

Also raises the question: if the parents were *that* against formula, why was it there in the house?

So glad I’m not a parent. I don’t think I’d have the patience for all this handwringing over formula. The idea that supplementing a kid’s diet with formula every now and then is cause for great upset is bafflingly ridiculous. Unless the baby is allergic to soy or someone other ingredient or if you live in an area…

This is gonna be such a trash fire.

I’m not clicking but a star for your culinary adventures!

The problem isn’t that she makes food and sells it. It isn’t even a problem that she makes Chinese food. The problem is that she generalized Chinese food as unhealthy slop that makes you bloat. 

Yep. We went to a restaurant yesterday that had one main veggie option (a roast vegetable burger) and another place a week ago that had a salad and a risotto.

Chinese food is literally the easiest way for me to get my veggies. I have a limited pallet (Autism so certain food items make my skin crawl. I literally can’t eat applesauce without wanting to vomit) and MOST places I can get food from don’t actually include much in the way of veggies? Like at all.

that’s a pretty cavalier attitude to take about cultural appropriation and insensitivity. For minorities, it’s not a zero-sum game and that needs to be acknowledged. 

It really gets worse as I read. Jesus.

I hear this at work all the time. “I’m trying to be good”, or (eating a brownie), “Oh, I’m so BAD, this is so BAD”.

I mean, poorly made food is bad. Not inedible presumably, but also not good.

She could have spared herself so much heartache if she’d just thought a little harder about this. “Healthy and allergen-friendly versions of Americanized ‘Chinese’ food.” No fucking chopstick fonts.

The only “bad” food is food that has *gone* bad (i.e. rotten or moldy food).

I don’t understand how in all the of the difficulty it takes to open a restaurant, needing PR, needing financing, a realtor to get you a location, etc, how did nobody step back and say ‘girl, this is a bad idea!’?!?!!
