LISTEN UP BUCKAROOS. honestly as vegetarian it is my number one rare and appreciated holiday situation to show up and discover that the stuffing was specifically made in a way that vegetarian and vegan buckaroos can eat it too, and this is so easy to do
Thoroughly endorse Chuck's recommendation to make your stuffing meatless if you're having any vegans or vegetarians at your holiday meals. You shouldn't be cooking it inside the bird anyway, and it tastes just as good made with veggie stock.

Ending homelessness doesn't buy Zuck another yacht. A sanitation worker makes everyone's life better, but a wall street broker gets paid orders of magnitude more if they make the rich even richer. Money is so disconnected from improving our lives as a species its going to kill us all.
It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

I fuckin' hate this shit. Food being unsafe was responsible for so many deaths throughout human history. We have the ability to feed literally everyone in the world -and- have it be perfectly safe, but the people in power would rather you starve and eat metal shavings to make more money.
The FDA always had too few inspectors, and now they're even worse off. They have found moldy poorly cleaned machines constantly, and shit keeps trucking because the companies are barely fined for it. They would rather pay a fine for you getting sick/dying than shut down for a few hours to clean.
IIRC this is usually because one of the manufacturing machines was poorly maintained, so pieces of it broke off into the mixture. Its a massive fuckup and should be one of those 'caught immediately and batch thrown away' not 'oh shit we just noticed that' after they're in the market.
