It’s pretty simple, shooting for 40% calories from whole grain/veg/fruit based carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. I’m trying to lower my blood pressure (it is consistently ~10 point higher sys and dia than it was five years ago, a trend I want to arrest), and the hardest part for me is getting enough protein without just…

I started seeing a nutritionist and it is amazing to me how much food she has me eating, and I’m finally actually losing weight. I was kidding myself with tiny main meals “supplemented” by high fat, calorie dense foods like almond butter or losing control with cookies or tacos every few days. I’m a much bigger person…

Yep, they were hoping the golfers heard the cops were called and left. They were using the the great of police action knowing the players were in no way in the wrong.

This also put in doubt their professed desire for merit based immigration. Our H1B visa holders are scientists, engineers, accountants, and lawyers. They are the people they claim to want, but just turn out to be a little too Nigerian, Indian, and Chinese for this crowd of liars.

It really does. Efforts to meet fuel economy standards have driven innovation in low emissions vehicles for years, it is what spurred Toyota to create the Prius. Granted they did so to be allowed to still sell the highlander or tundra, but it is still very important.

I don’t understand, does she happen to own it and he is renting at market rate (dumb, bad idea that an ethics lawyer would tell you to avoid), or is he just kicking back rent free? In which case, that sounds like quid pro quo corruption.

I worry about her for this reason, she made a choice to speak up in a time of raw emotion, shock and grief. And now it has taken over her life, for a time anyway. This is a lot to put on a kid, (and despite her being in a very adult situation, she is still a kid). I hope she has people around her to remind her that…

Beets taste like dirt to me, but in a good way?

I’m a very old millennial, and now I am craving avocado toast. I think she is responding to silly trend stories in the my times rather than how students actually eat. Gen x and their hummus, boomers and their alfalfa sprouts. Everybody has a good people make fun of.

I agree. The only exception for me is orange flower because that just tastes like a delicate orange. Elderflower liquour is one of those things I think I will like in a cocktail and always am wrong about it.

I like fruitcake too, a really good one is delightful and cozy making. They don’t scream wedding to me though, I guess I too strongly associate them with a cup of tea at Grandma’s house.

My work has gone to paid parental leave (2 mo), and short term disability for 2 months, and the two months paid includes all birth and adoptive parents. You’re starting to see men take advantage of it, and that’s great, but the consequences for them are so minimal. If anything they are lauded for taking time with…

Ugh. These women are enforcers of the patriarchy. They’ve found a measure of personal comfort in cozying up to a ruling elite. That woman who said the women’s movement will backfire and that women will be seen as troublemakers killed me. She is not wrong. Women who fight against male dominated power structures are…

I think the activism of these kids is impressive, and their statements have been powerful and heart breaking. They are right to be angry, we have failed them completely.

Right?! I hate low cut dresses that look like tape is the only thing holding them up. She is gorgeous and stacked, a dress that makes her look blowzy and uncomfortable is not a good dress. Dressing her should be very, very easy. What a waste of an opportunity.

Direct cash food aid is a good start though-full kids do better in school, full parents can focus on work. I’m a strong believer that a big factor in staying poor is the fact that you don’t have money. It sounds silly, but the way everything is just a little or way harder to accomplish when you don’t have cash or…

And For many people snap is supplementing food from other sources, like free or reduced lunch at school, a bag of groceries from a food pantry, where you have no choice over what you get. I don’t see it as a problem if people use it for an indulgence, or just to have freedom to decide what you want.This program they…

I grew up in Wisconsin and one of my early childhood memories is of the day the government cheese warehouse burned down, it was in the early nineties and there was a river of butter running out of it. No real other point to make, but there really were surpluses of dairy products stored by the feds.

Yes, for me, the year I made $23 k before taxes my rent was $8400 for the year. With 3 roommates. I very fortunately did not have student debt, but I did have a job that contractually barred me from taking a side hustle. I managed to save a little, but nothing like $8-12 that she did. don’t think I would have been…
