Anyway, I see no reason to spend time on you any further. I'm muting you. I bet you're a transphobe, too, with all that BS about soy.

Cooking is processing. Butchering is processing. It's not my fault you use scare words without realizing what they mean.

Let me guess, you don't know anything about how to feed billions of people around the world.

All right, I'll bite, how happy are trans people in the UK where the left-wing party is more transphobic than Trump?

How about Muslims in those countries passing ghetto laws?

How about Romani people?

Hey, why do we have so many more Jewish people than Europe?

Someone gave away a bit too much information about themselves.

And that's not a metaphor about how many people who sell you diets are outright grifters.

I mean all the parasites and diseases in raw food that y'all aren't aware of.

Like how you can die of a nutrient deficiency from unprocessed corn.

So what?

You want unprocessed foods, the raw movement and it's parasites are over there waiting.

For example: lasagna

You talk about it in America, chances are you're going to talk about one type with maybe some different feelings.

In Italy, they have 8 different ways of doing lasagna at least. And I know there's at least one recipe from Medieval England.

American Italian food is different from Italian food in general, the same way American Chinese food is different, with certain specific regional variations more prominent because that's where immigrants came from, or using different ingredients, or made to accommodate different tastes.

Yes we do. We use it in all sorts of things, from food to the supplements sold by conspiracy theorists who claim soy feminizes people.

Here we are with this record crop and we lost our single biggest buyer. And I mean "we" and "our" in the general sense since I'm not one of the millionaires who owns a farm but pretends to be some down to earth Working Class Joe

Makes me wish I screenshotted it now, I keep thinking about this leftist idiot. I saw post on here that Donald Trump isn't genocidal, just an opportunist.

Easy way to tell someone is a cishet white guy with no skin in the game.

The groups that shifted most towards Trump were not the groups hardest hit by inflation. Worldwide, the thing that seems most consistently linked to extremist, anti-institutional politics is not any set of economic conditions but SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMMERSION IN A DIGITAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

A decision cheered on by the far right and by a suspicious number of leftists who claim foreign aid is all a CIA plot.

ProPublica @propublica.org · 1d

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
