The availability of cheap, ready to eat foods is a Good Thing™ and I will die on this hill.
The problems presented by 'ultra processed foods' are problems that are beyond the scale of individual consumer choices and framing the consumption of UPFs as a personal moral failing is a distraction.

The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target.
People want to avoid ultra-processed foods. But experts struggle to define them

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.

When it comes to hair Thick & Thin describes the NUMBER of hairs growing from the scalp. Fine & Coarse describe the DIAMETER of individual strands.

What's your most niche and unimportant crusade?
Mine is that I use the symbol "var" (as scientific standards bodies indicate) for reactive power instead of "VAR" (most common) or something weird like "Var" or worse, "VAr".
I'll admit it does feel a bit odd to put "Mvar" next to "MW" and "MVA". 🔌💡

![4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

When considering mid-century recipes, it is important to remember that the upper middle-class housewives who were the prime audience for these were being prescribed legal methamphetamine and benzos in quantities that would make a cartel boss blush

Pro-tip: if you're sick, do not go to a funeral and hug the bereaved. Yes, _even if_ you really loved the deceased.

This post brought to you by the lady I saw on the train the other day shouting at her reflection (in what might have been Klingon?) continually for at least 30 minutes. Annoying, but ultimately harmless.
i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
