It’s not good. At all. Subway is dogshit compared to a real hoagie. And if you don’t have a real sandwich shop in your area it is likely Subway’s fault.

Most cultures eat meat. Industrialization made it a regular expectation.  Ironically Industrialization can make it ethical and more environmentally sound. 

You are not wrong - but food is uniquely identifying, culturally, ethnically, with family and social implications and ties that are not simply akin to making a behavioral change. Plus, food satisfies primal pleasure centers, and meat most prominently of all. For some, and an increasing number, the cruelty and/or…

But we are not even in the Model-T era of cultured meat - it is going to take decades to get it right, but unless we start now we will never get to the Prius stage. 

If one or one thousand animals have to suffer to prevent the untold millions of future animals from suffering, that’s a win.  Rejecting the good in search of the perfect is not going to work with this one. Sometimes good enough has to be good enough. 

MuskRats are always the worst people in the room, aren’t they?

You gotta be trolling...Police, in theory, are well-trained. This guy is a veteran so he is even MORE well trained than most cops.

Some GOP’er probably saw Soylent Green and immediately added in the FEMA concentration camps and came up with a repudiation of the entire idea then screwed on their tinfoil hat real tight and went to an Evangelical MegaChurch where they read the 10 Commandments and not the Beatitudes. 

This is the way to meet the ethical dilemma caused by eating meat while still being able to enjoy it and benefit from the nutrition and happiness of it. I eat less meat not for health reasons but because of the associated suffering (I am too much of a hypocrite to stop eating meat - but less is better, I hope)

Pork is so versatile - slow cook and make pulled pork with almost any kind of sauce, roasted and sliced for sandwiches, ground for chili or tacos, pork chops grilled for that outdoor flavor, ribs for a bar-type snack...pork has so many options that beef, turkey, and chicken do not have.  Plus bacon.  I mean come one,…

Thanks for that.

I hope you are right...aside from the (inevitable?) space war(s).  

I don’t know if it was in a scientific journal or a sci-fi story, but I definitely read somewhere that space garbage is not just a thing to be concerned about but that we could conceivably encase ourselves in a shell of space garbage that would make it much more difficult, if not impossible, to exit the earth’s…

While I definitely prefer the whole clam, the strips are a old-timey cheap piece of the past that seems to have largely disappeared. Maybe for the better - not sure how often I would order them if they were available widely today...I have a vague memory of my time as a line cook at Friendly’s being shocked at the…

Fried clams are an underrated food item and a treat whenever they can (rarely these days) be found. I know Howard Johnsons, Lums, Friendly’s used to have them on their regular menus...but I don’t go to chain restaurants (and two of the three are defunct anyway, with Friendly’s not doing so well - Clam Roll FTW!…

The entire concept of online shopping, the “Add To Cart” makes people buy shit they don’t need or really want, and the annoyance of returning that $7.99 piece of crap is often not worth the effort...PLUS it has killed off untold numbers of small local shops and businesses, taking those jobs and money outside of your…

“Who run the world”

The Aldi brand blueberry mini shredded wheat is killer good and like $2.

Looks not even good enough for Aldi...

But you can pay with Android AND Apple apps as well as cash, credit, debit and gift cards! It’s a fuckin’ United Colors of Bennetton over there...
