That’s what my in-laws did. “For some reason you hadn’t connected your smart TV to the internet; instead of using your Apple TV, we gave TCL your WiFi password. Aren’t you proud we figured it out on our own?”

What is it exactly about "processed foods" that make it bad for you. Is it just that they tend to be the ones with high sugar and fat content, or is there something about the processing of processed foods that is unhealthy?

I know our salaries sound a little low, but I can afford to live on 6 acres and have a 10 minute commute to work. If you are looking for a similar lifestyle then this might actually be one of the best paid jobs in tech.
