  • If am entirely honest with you, regulation isn’t even a full solution but I wasn’t willing to go further than that here. Idk if you are trolling or just dense but if we solved societal problems in that manner completely ignores the reasons those problems occur. You can’t solve a problem if you never address the cause of that problem. Contamination in our food isn’t caused by inevitable intermitant human error. Its caused by severely underpaid and overworked workers managed by a company that will always prioritize profits over human lives. Our food gets contaminated because it is more profitable to run a business that cuts corners and ignores regulation. Its not woopsy daisy accidents because humans are fallible, its just how business is done. So when food is recalled it does not solve the problem that caused people to get hurt. It only minimizes further damage and if anything protects that company from public outrage. The problen with your analysis is that you see every instance of contaminated food as a singular problem rather than part of a larger pattern of behavior enabled not only by our economic system but also by government ineptitude.

    Recalls are not a solution they are a rectification. A solution is proper regulation in food production which neither party is particularly interested in. No one is denying that things have gotten worse. The argument from “same-sidesers” is not that things would be just as bad if Democrats were in power, its that neither party is interested in improving the conditions of the working class. One of them actively seeks to degrade those conditions sure, but pretending that the party which lets them degrade on their own while claiming things are fine is a solution is foolish.






  • My partner says tomato paste, not that it is slept on but that most people use it incorrectly. She also thinks people should use more cilantro but she is a fiend for cilantro so take that with a grain of salt. In my opinon people don’t eat enough seitan, that shit is gas and very healthy. Most people seem to view it as a meat substitute but I think that takes away from how fantastic it is as an ingredient in its own right.












  • Complicated. I am neurodivergent and they didn’t know how to deal with that. A lot of mistakes were made based on piss poor information that left me somewhat scarred. I think the best description for my relationship with them during my later childhood would be “professional”. I didn’t talk about who I was or what I felt, I got home from school, went to my room, came out for dinner to be asked meaningless questions, and then went to bed. It was not bad in that I was suffering but it did mean that I will forever struggle to emotionally connect with them. I’ve been in college for a few years now and they seem to want a relationship now that I am gone but I find it so hard to respond to their texts. I never call them and they rarely call me. Mostly I just text them every month so that they know I am alive
