If I buy them from the butcher at the end of my block who make them in house, they're not real food? If the butcher makes them at the store and takes them home, they're not real food?
What if I make them at my house and take them to someone else's home?
- squish78 7y agoI wish HN had a dial to turn down the pedantry

- kevinmchugh 7y agoI managed to get a refined version of the comment I didn't understand. The refinement helped me understand it, so I'm happy.
- shantly 7y agoApologies. My post was too harsh and impersonal—dealing in generalities when a human whose concerns and actions are particular was involved. Sorry about that. Have a nice holiday season.
- cortesoft 7y agoIt isn't pedantry, though. People talk about 'real' food, but they don't really have an idea of what that means except that it 'feels' real. I think this goes a long way to show that 'real' food is a meaningless statement, and we should stop using it... it doesn't mean we are pedantic.
