Defending a guy who had a fucking nazi tattoo & not believing that's disqualifying is the same psychosis that has people thinking these billionaires running these tech companies are actually smart and know what they're doing.

It's the same. Folks just let ppl play in their faces

It’s $4/head right now at the grocery store I shop at in Peoria IL and $3.49 at Aldi, so it feels believable to me.

Ironically, in the US, McDonalds used to be cheap but now it’s almost as much as the cafe example, $10-12 for a combo meal.

It’s $4/head here in central IL, but look how many options I have 🙄.

Ok and the Dominoes near me has three medium cheese pizzas for $6.99 apiece so it’s not like that price is representative either.

Pizza tends to be high in saturated fat and salt and lacks fiber and a number of essential micronutrients. If you add a salad, it helps balance things a lot but salad, as previously mentioned, is expensive.

People need treats to feel normal. We don’t need snap to be the food police. We would be better off solving food desert issues than restricting what options people have.

Speaking as someone who has to help people work on food relationship issues caused by food insecurity, I think we should not only fund snap, but significantly lower the threshold for who qualifies.

That song slaps! I saw them play at the Metro in the early aughts and they were fantastic. But I do have to share this video of theirs, which we always call Goths in Space, if you aren’t familiar with it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OcqE...

Punching a Nazi in the face will make up for the lack of holsters, should you encounter any.

My husband loves asking people they’re interviewing for positions to explain something technical to a non-technical audience.

Do people not know about manticores? Did they not obsessively read books on mythological creatures in their childhood? That was just me? Oh. 😂

Good job to my hometown court.

Maybe they’re worried about the Sonya Massey verdict?

RFK Jr. says it’s bad when they list riboflavin as a food additive. Clearly it’s not essential or anything.

This is the Midwest, and passive aggression is our first language. If we are outright hostile to you, you did something and you fucking know what it is.

As a nutrition professional, I appreciated this segment so much while laugh-crying “this is why I have a job”.

It would take an enormous crisis, like say we had in the 1930’s…but hey, it feels like we are well on our way. Also why I think he will bail out the farmers though.

I’m sending all the vibes I can for the safety and survival of the people who are there.

Crabapple, CNS, LDN @nutritionistfoo.bsky.social · 7d

I’m in central Illinois and I agree with you, but I also think if a bunch of farmers go belly-up, they’ll finally “get it” with this admin, although it’ll be too late to do them much good.

Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa grow more soy and seed corn than anyone else and I keep wondering what, if anything, he’s gonna do to bail out the farmers because otherwise he will possibly turn both red states blue with rage.

lol my friend had a Halloween movie night on Saturday and the theme was Nordic horror. That was the last movie and unfortunately we had to get back to our dog so we missed that one, but I heard about it.
