You know what? I'm going to provide some commentary that will blow your mind.

I get it.

Guys, something finally happened.

Look at the expiration dates on shit. Everything in America is designed to be able to sit, shelf-stable, for fucking months for God knows what reason. And what the fuck is GUAR GUM and why the fuck is it in my cottage cheese?

Do I need pasta that will be good until 2035? Apparently fucking so.

(And the shit, if it's not like literal fruit and veg, lasts way fucking longer than the "sell by date" which is what they call expiration dates now. I've had five year old pasta, it's fine.)

I mean a lot of people have to understand the labels are designed to be made in a way that protects recipes.
Basically the oreo cookie isn't that complex just US food law is written so people don't try to attempt to make their own version of it.

That reminds me of how USPS doesn't go door to door anymore because it's cheaper to use neighborhood cluster boxes or apartment boxes. I'm sure there still some neighborhoods grandfathered into delivery, but it's just another small convenience we lost that our parents and grandparents had. I want my mail to go in my mailbox, dammit. I have a mailbox that's not used just sitting there completely unused, reminding me of the better times I never saw.

What kind of area are you in? My mailman puts mail in my mailbox and comes to my door (like 100+ feet from the road) when I’ve been a lameass and not picked up my mail for awhile. We’ve had long conversations about semi-personal things - I know he’s trying to retire and where he wants to retire; he gave my dog treats and knew his name and disposition. I’ve seen those neighborhood boxes, but rarely and only where getting to the houses is dicey.

do you seriously watch this clickbait swill because it's probably bad for your mental, spiritual, and hell - maybe even physical health

I can buy as much clickbait swill as I want, the government can't stop me.

[Flan Handler]

I don't care how nutritious it is, I'm not eating food that has sat unsupervised in a walmart.

Yeah in the summer I grow my own, in the winter I buy veggies at Costco, no idea what they spray their stuff with but it always seems great. I probably don’t want to know.

 

[SugarKane]

Anyways, back to Food Stamp Sperging, what is your favorite color food stamp???

Red.. it make me think of all that delicious red-40 in our goy food.
*Queue the eagle screech*
!!! MERICA !!!!

The furnaces power the servers.

Well....

Null did say the server was thermal powered, but never really said it was geothermal powered.....

Just replace the dogs with jews

I got my posting privileges back the same day this thread was featured. Maga defended RFK in the name of making America healthy despite the fact RFK is garbage. He is from both a leftist and rightist perspective only to sell it out for this.

And you're using it to come out with a banger like this. RFK did what nobody around him was capable of doing: looking inward to choose if spiteful, eternal, congressional gridlock was worth sticking to his guns because 'ORANGE MAN BAD', and deciding that finding parity with MAGA to fulfill one of his convictions was worth ceding on the others. It's called compromise, and it speaks to him being a bigger man than any retarded shitlibs who choose to defy ORANGE MAN for no other reason than his being ORANGE MAN.

He cheated on his pregnant wife all time and was a drug addict. He is a white guilt boomer and even supported reparations for blacks.

You know he's a Kennedy, right? This is not news to anybody who knows the smallest facts about that family.

Here, I know just the forum crowd you'd probably love to hang out with:

I think you'll agree they'd be a much better hugbox for you.

I have no idea why people on food stamps would keep wasting their money on expensive soda. It's cheaper to buy tea, milk, and even just sticking with water.

Soda is addictive like crack.
And stopping it come with it withdrawals (even diet version aspartame triggers the feel-good hormone release)

Withdrawal symptoms include irritability, fatigue, headaches, and even feelings of depression . Usually, these withdrawal symptoms are due to quitting caffeine, and they typically last anywhere from 2–9 days

I don't know the first thing about it, but I'm pretty sure there's something similar going on with zero-sugar energy drinks. Every once in a while I'll get into a long rut where I feel like I can't function without a couple a day, and it takes me forever to kick it and go clean.

Lots of nice new developments have that, because to get the town to approve the development, they have to make deals, and one of the deals is - look, this won't cost the post office much, we'll make one box for all the mail so it's quick and easy.

It's faggy, but it is what it is. (You can later file a petition to remove the damn box and get real mailboxes, as that's a different procedure direct with USPS.)

I've had five year old pasta, it's fine.

This applies to basically anything that's not biologically active in some way, like meat, baked goods, fresh fruits/veg and dairy. If it's a dry product, keep it in dry place that doesn't get too warm and away from any light sources. Almost everyone has a closet in interior hallway that could be converted into pantry space, you don't need a cellar or a special room. The upgrade move is keeping it in in airtight containers with descant packs and 02 absorbers. Large Mason jars are good, for bulky stuff, they make food-grade, 5 gallon buckets with ratcheting, gasket sealed lids.

If you are controlling for UV, 02, H20 and Temp, your dry goods will keep for the next thing to forever.

It the aspartame
In another study, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and saccharin were all associated with heightened motivation to eat and more items selected on a food preference list [35]. Aspartame had the most pronounced effect, possibly because it does not have a bitter aftertaste.
drink diet = crave more= eat more = thirst more = weight gain.
Aspartame breaks down into three components in the body: aspartic acid, methanol, and phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an amino acid that’s a precursor to tyrosine, which is used to produce dopamine and norepinephrine. In theory, this could indirectly influence mood-related hormones, but the amount of phenylalanine from typical aspartame consumption (e.g., a diet soda) is tiny compared to what you get from regular foods like meat, eggs, or dairy. So, it’s unlikely to have a noticeable effect on feel-good hormones.

Michael “Get on that trampoline and bounce, and I’ll make you a star!” Bay has always been a Republican (or at worst the kind of Democrat Trump used to be) he helped grow the American Machismo memes from the ground up. I mean how could you not tell?

I hate to keep this going, but yes Aspartame is just poison Plus is has terrible chemical taste, always hated it. And it gives me a direct headache too, so I've always avoided it. Saccharine is the good stuff for me. It actually tastes better in coffee than sugar. It sucks they faked giving rats 500x the dose awhile back and said it caused cancer, when in reality it seems the best alternative of all.

Really, this was some major BS they had against sweet n low.

The Environmental Protection Agency has officially removed saccharin and its salts from their list of hazardous constituents and commercial chemical products. In a release in December 2010, the EPA stated that saccharin is no longer considered a potential hazard to human health.[40]

I would suspect it's the taurine..

Actual fruit isn't bad. Most fruit juice is just sugar with fruit flavor or juice concentrate + HFCS + water.

One of my favorite drinks is pineapple juice cut in half with coconut water then some mango juice added in. Got the habit of drinking in long ago cuz I can't stand the HFCS they shove into everything. Pretty much a non-alcoholic Mai Tai.

I can't do soda, it's just too sweet for me and my teeth ache when I see the kids chugging down a 2L bottle in a hour. The Beetus is going to be a real problem in like 10 years when these Gen X'ers hit their 50's.

Dropping sweet shit from SNAP is fine by me, we need ways to get people to stop thinking of SNAP as just part of life and instead be something you use only when really need it. Far too many people in America think of gibs as something they are entitled too and not the safety net it was designed as.
