In its most basic (and best) form, peanut butter is just made of peanuts. Most varieties have emulsifiers added, some have sugar and salt added as well. And you certainly don't need the type with sugar for it work with chocolate. Have you never eaten chocolate with whole peanuts (or pieces of peanuts) in it?

You could see a rat scurrying at the edge of the frame in one of the Soylent Kickstarter videos. I have had to drink all my nutrition as "medical food" because of broken stomach, and there are several different varieties developed, as you say, by actual nutritionists and manufactured in regularly inspected plants. Rhinehart also wears disposable jumpsuits that he gets shipped from China instead of actual clothes. The whole thing is monetized autism.

Even better he justifies this that all the clothes are made from synthetic fibers so it's actually better than traditional cotton/etc, as well as washing them would cost too much resources so it's easier to just give them away to goodwill. Dude is literally insane.

I work in contract food service. Our public k-12 sector has to figure out how to produce school meals for as little at 15 cents a plate food cost, and still turn a small profit. We can do this better, cheaper, safer etc than school systems themselves. Suffice to say it's uh, a little difficult to pull off and not be gross. And I would never ever take up the challenge to do this stuff.

School lunch chat: remember that schools are government institutions. Most states require that schools take bids on services on a regular basis for the sake of "efficiency and value" (read: cost-cutting measures). The same rules require the schools to accept the lowest bid that fully meets the requirements. There's this giant corporate hell called Aramark. And they've figured out the secret sauce of underbidding the lunchladies - get rid of the current personnel, hire people at minimum wage with no benefits, aggressively negotiate bulk rates from suppliers, provide the absolute minimum required nutrition and keep the legal department busy trying to loophole the minimum towards less. They don't actually give a flying gently caress about taste or nutrition, their goal is to turn the maximum profit on that fifteen cents. And that's what gets you abominations like these: Single-serve precooked stuff, so we don't have to hire the expensive monkeys who can follow recipes like "Dump bag A in the pot, dump in bag B of sauce, heat" or who can follow portion-control guidelines. Instead they can hire the cheaper monkeys who just have to count $number_of_students of each item, steam them in a steam kettle, and put one of each on the tray. It's a 1/2 cup scoop of tater tot hotdish, a tablespoon of applesauce, and a quarter of an orange. Tada, one meat (the meat and sauce of the hotdish), one side (the tater tots in the hotdish), and two fruits or vegetables, all in amounts that wouldn't satisfy a kindergartner. And we wonder why the kids would rather hit up the vending machines. e. Sanguinary Novel posted:This sort of situation is exactly why you can't run public services like a business.

Our ingenious solution to this problem: Just give the food away for free, you stupid fucks. Also, the food is actual food, made from real ingredients, in the school kitchen. And you generally get to fill your own plate however you like, however many times you like. (Also, sugar in peanut butter? Your weird american ways confuse us)

Also remember that U.S. schools are funded and managed at a local or county level, and they're all different. Don't look at the worst of those lunches and say "oh gosh I can't believe all American children are fed that poo poo," because the quality of the food varies from district to district. And don't assume that all districts are pulling this fifteen-cents-let's-maximize-profits poo poo, because tons of them aren't. The unfortunate ones that do have to make that tough choice are usually the poorer districts who are faced with decisions like "Should we drop down to a single foreign language so we can afford to feed the kids this year?" and "We only really need one custodian, right?"

I think it's because they also had to sterilize the kimchi to remove any remaining bacteria (which you don't really want to spread in a space station that you're trying to keep sterile), which has the side effect of eliminating the microorganisms that are actually participating in keeping the kimchi preserved. Whimskey posted:
They actually started the development for Ko San, but they suddenly switched him out for Yi So-yeon after San supposedly violated security procedures twice (meaning he couldn't keep his mouth shut about secret stuff).
