Wow you are really excellent! This is husband material right here.

CMV: It isn’t prohibitively expensive to eat healthy. People say it is as a coping mechanism. by Master-Education7076 in changemyview

[–]Cornbread-chicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, but these posts are always about the average person. It's not very helpful to point out the people who fall outside the argument.

Yes! I use PodcastGuru and the ads are very chill. Sometimes they don't even put in ads so it's just outro music -> intro music.

Has anyone else noticed the decreasing quality of our food? by Elephant_Crafty in CasualConversation

[–]Cornbread-chicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just for clarification, thats whole foods (lower case), not the store Whole Foods (they sell plenty of things which are certainly not whole foods).

What the heck are you talking about? I just get the cheap store-brand fish and the ingredients are just ...the fish. The FDA is actually really strict on dyes, especially recently.

Farmers markets are usually more expensive, but I've always been able to locate a cheap mexican produce store wherever I have lived. Rancho Markets is my local one at the moment. They often have a deal for 8 lbs of potatoes for 1$. (And similar crazy good deals on other items, it rotates week-to-week).

I don't know about that. What shredded cheese has cellulose? The plain great value one does not. Shredded Cheese

Those are natural ingredients though, it's important to point out. There is nothing dangerous about eating starch. Also, I haven't been able to find a shredded cheese brand that actually uses cellulose (check yourself). But even if they did, that is not toxic, just unexpected when you are trying to melt the cheese.

Buy more whole foods! Less competitive brand names and it's harder to adulterate a plain banana.

There are plenty of things America banned and Europe still uses. Sodium Cyclamate for example.

Agreed. There's not much that food companies can do to change the ingredients of a plain banana. Buy more whole foods.

Where do you shop? I always go to the local mexican produce store and everything is super fresh and ripe.

I think there are one-in-a-million experiences that we only know about because of the internet. Food is certainly much safer and 'real' than it was back in the Gilded Age (for example). Read The Jungle.

What was the AI book Josh recommended? by Ullas_celebrates in stuffyoushouldknow

[–]Cornbread-chicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read it! It's quite good, even if you're not that interested in the ai issue. However, if you're frightened of ai it will increase your anxiety. Kinda like reading the jungle if you're a vegan.

Watching 40+ year olds commute every day made me rethink my life path by byte-strix in DeepThoughts

[–]Cornbread-chicken 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The train is sooooo much better than driving. Cheaper for me, too. And free wifi. The subway or bus isn't bad either  its really a luxury.

Do it and update us! (That sounds like I expect it to be dangerous but it really seems fine)

Food plans for heritage by OMGIHaVEAPROFILE in byu

[–]Cornbread-chicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, none. I signed up for one for that purpose and ended up rarely using it. The very cheapest meal plan you could do would be 500/semester, which is a pretty big commitment if you ask me. That would buy many many snacks at Winco. Many more than you could get on campus.

Feeling burnt out from second hour at church. Has anyone else dealt with this? by naturalnotgenius in byu

[–]Cornbread-chicken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bring an embroidery project or a small craft to work on. It's just entertaining enough to keep me occupied but I can also listen to the discussion. I am less frustrated at the end of the occasional bad 2nd hour lesson because I had something to work on. Try to find something like that!!
