Organs are edible. You should try it sometimes. They are not waste products. No wonder Americans find these things wasteful. In my experience, even something as simple as chicken. People do not actually eat the whole thing. Half of it is th

In terms of cuisine, America is not really homogeneous. I mean, even a relatively moderate change from LA to SF means a change from heavy Hispanic influence to more Asian. Or a change from SF to Portland and you get a lot more traditional &

To be able to produce the calories currently made by meat using relatively meh land, we'd have to heavily increase our fertilizer use and deforestation to be able to grow enough human edible plants (grains or legumes really, since tube

Um okay... Wel then we better get ethically okay with crowded pigs fed our food scraps. Humans eat like 5% of the actual plant matter we harvest. The rest is composted which just releases more greenhouse gases. If you feed it to a pig, then

I don't disagree. I understand arguments for less meat. What I don't understand is abolition...that's just silly and a huge environmental catastrophe.

Animals are extremely efficient at converting inedible food to edible nutrition. For example, goats eat almost any plant, including many natives. Unless you think humans are going to be able to eat chaparral. The fact is that modern edible

If trump was the establishment, why did the military disobey his order to withdraw from Syria. I mean this honestly. To me the establishment means being able to influence the ruling class. Despite trump's presidency, in several importa

No sorry it's not. I'm a traditional Catholic man. I'm as far as you can get from a feminist really. But yeah they have every right to say men are scum and mean it. How stupid can a country get? It might be sinful, it might b

I actually agree. I joined a fraternal organization as a young man on a whim.. It's great. The best part is moving to a new area I had an automatic "in".

CNNs ratings have dropped precipitously after Trump left office, after rising quite a bit during his time in office. Several accusations against their hosts, such as Maddow, have been met with responses of 'this was exaggeration'

There is nothing wrong with rolling back regulations. Current admin jokes about nuking Americans. But I guess making peace with enemies is worse yeah

Yup. This is why I encourage everyone to do their own taxes. It would help people see how stupid it is. So complicated for no reason .

You said no one would care other than twitter. However cnn made it's money the past four years sensationalizing everything about the previous administration, so that is evidence that people other than twitter care.. CNN's former v

I'm not forcing anyone. Right now I see a major push by companies to stop using offices for cost savings. The incentive for businesses is always to have people WFH. This externalizes costs for basic infrastructure. If some workers want

I hate blanket statements like this. Maybe some people can work this way over slack / meets / whatever. I personally cannot. I'd rather be in an office. No amount of expert opinion is going to change that, for me.
