Great, you mongoloids stopped having discussions about Captain Planet and now you discuss how much goyslop do you eat. Nobody cares how much frozen pizza do you have, nobody cares how TRQD and BQSED you are for eating vegetables from a pot every day. This is a thread about American politics, get your food sperging elsewhere or janny will lock the thread again. Also, you don't have to reply every single time some retard quotes you, just give them trashcan sticker and move on.
American's inability to feed themselves is indeed a US Politics discussion considering home economics is no longer taught in many American Schools. When you have kids who all they know are doordash and ubereats, you got a problem champ. It is a failure of the American school system and a failure on the nation as a whole. Especially with big YouTube cooking channels who have become less and less approachable for home cooks and people with family. It's all about aesthetic, does it look good on camera, etc. worst of all, it makes folks feel like they aren't good enough to even try and cook it themselves. Considering between Twitch, YouTube, and other video/streaming sites have effectively replaced syndicated television, we really should start to consider the impacts of certain channels and personalities on culture as a whole.

Edit:
Also, six months is decent, lots of dried beans, grains, free dried foods just in case of an emergencies. Hell, if families did in fact consider the potential of an emergency there would be less panic buying when that emergency hits. It is not difficult, you don't need to buy organic produce, you don't need to buy fancy pants oil, you don't need to buy sugary cereal, but that is what the culture is now and I dislike it. Half of the shit consumers by are not out of necessity but luxury, even if they technically can't afford that luxury.

in every definition the health of a people of a nation is political, especially when we can trace back the politics that allowed it. Bribery and lobbying of our legislatures to push certain propaganda about the healthiness (or lack of) for a food is political. Second wave feminism taking women out of homes and into the workplace, increasing the popularity of fast food is a political issue. Subsidies for agriculture is a political issue.
 
Apparently its one of the few cases where it IS the genetics causing it. I read somewhere that in the past they used to travel very long distances on very low food stocks, so they kept their shape. Now that ultraprocessed food is everywhere they balloon out because their bodies and genes didnt have time to adjust.
Also iirc they don't process wheat grain well, so it stays as fat.
 
They believe that an economy can subsist entirely on printing money. You don't actually need mines, factories, logging, oil wells, farms, ports, shipyards, or any of that. You just need a central bank ready to issue currency and fiddle with interest rates, and you'll just sorta magically have everything you want. Any time you have problems, just run a few billion or trillion off the printing press, and the problems go away. The fact that we didn't all die during the COVID lockdowns seemed to them to confirm this belief.
i swear, rich retards need to die or try to live their life on an average wage for once
 
the fuck are you niggas making that takes you 3 straight hours of nonstop kitchen work? even when i make something that takes multiple hours to cook I'm not slaving away in the kitchen the entire time, it's like 20 mins of prep time max and the rest is just waiting for stuff to heat up and letting the food cook. this isn't an all day affair that takes up all of your time.
 
We're in the "everything is political" segment. Horseshoe theory yada yada.
Not everything is political, but the quality of our food is directly linked to politics. It's not simply "we are rich and affluent now," because other first world countries eat better than us. It's not a "self control" issue because Americans were having perfect self control for centuries, so what changed? Politics from up high which shifted social trends towards poor health by lobbying of the food and agricultural sectors.

And yes, nothing stops individuals to choose to just eat healthy, but what is a few thousand people realizing they're eating goyslop and getting better food to the millions that still are not because the social conditioning engrained from corporate-government aligned policy?

At least discuss how to solve this problem politically, then. People are talking about crock pots and meal prep. That isn't politics, it's food.
 
Who’s excited for the National strike that’s only going to last a single day, just like the economic blackout that only lasted a single day?

How many people are going to get fired for taking part in this retardation or catch shit from their coworkers for it? Place your bets!
Man I love how they do these strikes on fucking weekdays when people literally have to work, and then they wonder why nobody shows up.

You all don't even need to get that complicated with the 'food is political' take, because it's not even that complicated; industry giants lobby politicians who will let practices slide that keep their margins as green as possible which oftentimes happens at the detriment of our health. You could sum it up with 'because it's cheaper'. At the end of the day it's all about the money.
Especially with big YouTube cooking channels who have become less and less approachable for home cooks and people with family.
I have a whole playlist for myself saved, everything from breakfasts to desserts, and if the meal can't be explained in less than ten minutes and can't be explained without your face on the camera then it probably isn't about the actual food and I skip it.

“Join our cause! Don’t go to work! We need more voices for our noble cause of fighting the Nazis in the White House!”
“No motherfucker, we’ve got bills and shit!”

-Reduce inflation which gets rid of the need for a two-income family household, that means there is someone to cook at the kitchen
-Find any ABC agency who psyopped second wave feminism and cut out any remnants of that psyoping "women in the workplace"
-Cut all corn, rapeseed, and soybean agricultural subsidies. While I prefer no subsidies, if there is any, go for avocado, olive, and coconut subsidies, maybe subsidies for bee farming too
-Get rid of the years upon decades of lobbied messaging about fats, carbs, etc. I would argue the whole propaganda machine should be dismantled but if it had to stay, just push the opposite - foods without HFCS or seed oils
-Put in large text "This food has HFCS/Seed Oils which is linked to inflammation, cancer, and heart disease" for any food with even small amounts of it
-Stop fucking with the meat industry and allow cattle farming to be more widespread

Zero because like the black out day, aint nobody gonna do it
 
What kind of dumb fucking question is that. Why the fuck would you ask the most important man on earth the dumbest and mundane question like that.
If the transcript was literal (I cannot load the video for the life of me) then it seemed to me the reporter was taking a jab at O'Donnell, making a joke.
