> Parmesan (cheese byproduct and sawdust) Nitpicky, but this is itself misleading. Canned parm is mostly actual cheese, it's just... not very good. "Sawdust" is there in small amounts for anti-caking purposes, not bulking

AFAIK this is specific to tuna and done by places like fish markets, that publicly display it. A restaurant would most likely be getting it frozen and vac packed.

The ammonia (when it was present) was present in such small amounts that it couldn't conceivably have altered the flavor, and they were never using "chemical food flavoring." The only change they've made recently is usin

As pointed out elsewhere, taco beef shouldn't be expected to be near 100% beef. Adding various seasonings and spices is what makes it "taco." Your linked article makes the point that other chains hit the expected values for p

Fast food chains almost universally serve all-and-nothing-but beef patties, and always have. I don't understand the confusion over this. You can immediately tell from the texture.

Every society has that tendency. "The West" is just the only one in the position of being able to export their ideals.

To the extent that this is true, the better solution would be for the customer to delay their order, rather than for the restaurant to artificially inflate preparation time.

I don't like the restaurant analogies. If it were possible to cook a steak to your liking in a single minute, you might worry the first few times that it was just being prepared ahead of time, not cooked fresh. But that should pass whe

100% chocolate is roughly half fat by weight, easily verified by looking at the nutrition information on the packaging. Not to be confused with cocoa powder, which is indeed just the non-fat solids. As you add sugar to chocolate, the propor

Oh for sure, sweeter chocolate is way easier to eat too much of. Just pointing out that dark isn't actually lower in calories.

by phonypc 7y ago
Darker chocolate should trend towards being higher in calories, containing proportionally more fat.

Processed cheese is a miracle. I wish there was a greater variety of it, so I didn't have to make my own when I want something other than "cheddar." Food quality might be lower on average, but saying the US has no food cult

You can get low salt canned beans, or just rinse them. And it's not as if most people would avoid salting their cooking dry beans. If cooking with salt makes a food "processed" and thereby to be avoided, there's pretty m

How do push-ups and pull-ups apply to survival situations?
470.
by phonypc 7y ago
I would. You can use paper on a very small area. Water gets everywhere, often unnoticed. In the vein of recommendations against washing poultry (it increases your risk for food poisoning), I'd put money on bidets being less sanitary.

This is a very strange way of using the word starvation. You're more closely describing ketosis, but even that tends to take quite a bit longer than 6-8 hours to be significant.

??? Chernobyl being a place "where if most mammals go they die in agony" is patent nonsense. I quoted from the article linked above your post to suggest as much. What on earth does RTG have to do with this discussion?

Pretty much my reading of it. Simply getting up and walking around would put far more CO2 into your blood than such a small change in atmospheric concentration. I don't really understand the level of credulity here on associations be

by phonypc 7y ago
It is known in physiology that respiration rate is more or less determined by concentration of CO2 in the blood. Probably doesn't need to be independently tested.
