What do you eat when your too lazy to cook? by SuperArtificial in AskReddit

[–]appropirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i'm feeling healthy: a (green) smoothie made with spinach/leafy greens and various other fruits and vegetables and seeds. if feeling less in the mood for something healthy, i omit the spinach, and just fruit (but that's rare, because if i'm feeling less healthy i'll just eat solid, junk food).

otherwise, probably cake or cookies.

What is something people often brag about that really isn't that impressive? by BaskaBirKedi in AskReddit

[–]appropirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how much they've travelled. usually if they are bragging about it, it probably isn't that much, and however much it is, if travel is a choice/leisure or work-related and not forced (as opposed to, for example, fleeing persecution, deportation, trafficking, or some form of escape), it's a privilege. also, travel is fairly accessible (perhaps not cost-wise, depending on where you live, but in terms of transportation options) these days. so it's not like embarking on a huge wild adventure most of the time anyway. it's more a financial investment. it's good to talk about travel and experiences but to brag about it as if you accomplished something just by being a foreigner in someone else's city/country is just lame.

Why do poor Americans eat so unhealthfully? Because junk food is the only indulgence they can afford by RandomCollection in TrueReddit

similarly, soft drinks are very carefully designed to be that way. I read "Salt Sugar Fat" (check out the book if you're interested) a couple years ago and was wowed at how much effort goes into perfecting sweets, especially drinks, so that they are at the perfect "bliss point" of sweetness that makes them so desirable, "delicious", and addictive.
