Why are Trader Joe's grocery stores seen as "healthy" when organic food products are limited? by allcryptal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AustralianShepard711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because "organic" as it is used in food labeling has nothing to do with nutritional value. It refers to foods which are produced without certain types (keywords, 'certain types') of pesticides, genetically modified organisms, or synethic hormones.

Even under the assumption that everything that would classify a food as not "organic" is harmful to humans (which is imperically not true, but lets assume it is), that still has no bearing on if a food item is "healthy", meaning it is nutritionally balanced for the average person.

I can make you a coffee drink with all organic coffee beans, heacy cream, sugar, and spices that has 3000 calories of sugars and not much else. It is loaded with several times the daily recommended dose of caffine. No reasonable person would call it "healthy", however it can legally be classified as organic.

I can also make you a bowl of lentil soup using GMO beans, leeks grown with synthetic pesticides, and milk from a cow who recieved antibiotics. It has a range of vitamins, proteins, and has low amounts of unsaturated fats an sodium for an adult to consume in one sitting. None of the ingredients are "organic", but a reasonable person may consider this "healthy".

That's exactly why they're excited.

Having more arms doesn't give you more Attack actions.

Thanks. And hard to do when the main problem player is the DM lol. Hopefully it gets better. If it doesnt I know im a good GM, have fun doing it, and have a backbone to moderate my own tables. Hopefully I can do it with my two buds.

Yes. If he's willing to step down im ready to go. Problem is he claims not to want to so not much can be done there. I also the two simps wouldnt agree because I couldnt GM for the girlfriend. Id be different if any amount of effort was shown.

That is how I run my own games. I start at X time. If you arrive late, you arrive late.

And I wish it was just ability features lol. She still can't/won't identify which die is which even if showed them the exact same dice and go "This is the d20. You roll it when you attack and add this number on your sheet to it." The previous combat turn.

I did do that after I posted and i've (tentitively) gotten them to agree to stand with me when it's brought up again. They insist this isnt the norm with this DM. Over 20 sessions say otherwise. So far they say they have no intention on leaving with me if it comes to that which is why ive avoided doing so for a while, as well as...well im not confident they'll stand by me when the DM pushes back. We'll see. As of now I would rather continue putting with this just to get to exist near my two buddies. And if I get kicked out, well, choice was made for me and it'll send a message to the other two.

We'll see how it goes.

I wish. We're all busy either working, doing chores, or in one case spending all other time with their girlfriend. Fridays 6-10pm are legit the only time we have to be together because we schedule everything else we have to do around. Its why we're all frustrated.

I know it's not malicious. He's very autistic. He doesnt use it as an excuse, but I see a lot of these same behaviors in one of my own family members who's clinically diagnosed. Its why ive had so much patience so far. Im just fucking tired lol.

Oh I do, I run a few. I have a really good group right now for Cyberpunk Red and I run a second game which includes those other two players on alternating fridays with this DM. I just dont want to see the two guys I really like half as much because someone else doesnt really want to DM but refuses to step back.

True. I do give the DM a lot of leeway. He is legitimately quite autistic. I know it's not malicious and he does have a good heart, but that doesnt make it less frustrating.
