From restaurants, yes. They are always a poorly done afterthought

I’m pretty convinced farmers markets are scams and they all lie about the origins of whatever they’re selling.

I love Ethiopian, especially the bean sides.

I hate milk, sugary cakes, sandwich bread, and nasty places like a Taco Bell or IHOP.

Yeah…mid century food got a little (a lot) weird. Convenience foods were seen as sophisticated modern technology. Microwave dinners, just add water packets, cream of something casseroles, jello salads, boxed mixes..thankfully most of these are not cool anymore

I used to believe this too, and stayed away from it for many years; now I'm not so sure. The research that I have been reading is leading me to believe otherwise. I'm still researching, but have allowed myself a bit of edamame occasionally.

That Fair Life Milk is just a marketing ploy to get you to spend more on milk.


Totally love Fair Life milk and happy to spend the extra money! I don't really understand what it is -- filtered milk (??) with MORE protein and vitamins? wth? -- but I like it.


I buy Fairlife because its lactose free - - if there is anything else different about it I had no clue! Its just the most obviously and clearly labeled Lactose Free milk at the store

I thought that too, along with glorified, but ridiculously small, convection ovens. But then I tried one and realized I was completely wrong.


They literally are a convection oven, turned up higher than most people cook stuff with a convection oven.

Yes (other than the temperature part since most go from low dehydration temps only up to 400) but designed in such a way that food is entirely surrounded by a much more concentrated stream of air. I have always liked the convection feature on my oven, but it is not capable of producing results close to that of my Cosori air-fryer.

Food in the U.S. is far inferior to food virtually every where else (except Canada, they are about the same)

Reheating coffee???


Ew, reheating coffee is gross.

But there is a time and place for using a microwave. I'm a fabulous cook, but sometimes just want to zap my soup from yesterday and have lunch in 2 minutes. shoot me now!

I totally agree with snacking poster. We do not need snacks. People snack because they’re bored or conditioned to, not because they’re hungry. Our grandparents’ generation didn’t snack- they ate three meals a day. Their meals were home cooked, real food, not processed with chemicals or coated with Round-Up. They didn’t worry about fat and enjoyed red meat and eggs. They weren’t fat. At least in my case, they lived longer and didn’t get dementia as early as my parents’ peers.
