Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

We need to re-examine how we classify “transmisandry” because it’s often attributed to normal transphobia, or trans women venting about “tbros” (a word I do not agree with but I do acknowledge the existence of transmisogynistic trans men who fit it’s )

We also need to acknowledge as a community that transmisandry pales in comparison to any of the traumatic facets of transmisogyny, as transmisogyny is so much more violent and traumatic, and that transmisandry and transmisogyny cannot be compared

Does anybody else think “man, I’d do so many things if I felt better” but once you feel better you don’t do anything cuz you just want to chill and enjoy not feeling bad?

A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.

When I identified as het ace I didn’t consider myself a member of the lgbt community. My mindset was ‘I don’t find people sexually attractive, but that doesn’t mean I can prance into lgbt spaces and claim to share the same struggles’.

The discrimination I would have faced as an asexual person would be totally interpersonal, not systematic. I would not be denied basic human rights or healthcare because I wasn’t attracted to people. I would not face violence or harassment for being in public with my partner, I would not be barred from marrying them, I would not have businesses refuse to serve me because we didn’t have sex. I would not be told I was going to hell, or that I’m disgusting and immoral. I would not be imprisoned or killed in certain countries for being asexual.

The list goes on, but the point is I was under informed and still getting over my ingrained homophobia but at least I tried to recognize my privilege at the time I thought I was a straight ace. I’m disgusted to see people who identify as I used to shouting over gay and trans people and claiming they’re more worthy of the community than we are.
