Cuz juice (if thee reside in america) can only be 100% fruit.
Else he may be allergic to things processed in the same place. Or one of the super juicy varietals they like to use.
actually pasteurized orange juice has no flavor of its own(thanks to the oxygen being removed from the cooking vessel and the heat, etc), so the flavor's got to be added back with natural flavoring derived from oranges, which is why you don't see anything on the label. tl,dr it's because of deceptive labeling.

Its not no flavor.
The various light aromatics usually kept in by the rind (and the cause of why ripping open an orange makes the smell jump everywhere: theyre quite volatile) get destroyed or lost during various processes to store/concentrate/deaerate etc.

Itll still taste like oranges, just not fully and completely like one because youre missing all the olfactory portion of the taste.

In addition to Orthorexia, I think these raw foods people may have some undiagnosed illness which they are convinced is cured by eating raw /gluten free/etc. I mean that's the only thing I can think of.

Its also a good example of how privilege can indulge people in weird things like this. If someone is poor they often can't afford to be picky about what they eat /how it's prepared. And given the fact that our food is so calorie dense that even the working poor are heavily affected by obesity, I seriously doubt the problem with food is that we are heating it up destructively.

All the militant vegans/raw food/paleo adherents I've ever met could indulge in their myopic diets specifically because they live in a modern industrialized nation with a food system built on the back of global trade and all of the human and environmental exploitation that comes along with it. They also live in a nation where they have access to (and can afford) quality multivitamins produced by big evil corporations to cover up the holes in their lovely diets. It has everything to do with how much better they are than the rest of us.

There's also awesome vegans like dino. who are totally not part of that assessment.

there's no flavor left post pasteurisation, it has to be added back with flavorpaks. (done with this derail also)

Like there's chopsticks or there ain't, yes they keep some for people like you, you are trying to eat non-sticky rice with chopsticks, you are going to ruin your shirt, I hope you do.

Not all Asian countries use chopsticks! If they give you a spoon, use the spoon. You're like 30, you know how to do things.

The accepted method of eating non sticky rice with chopsticks is to hold the bowl to your mouth and use the chopsticks as a shovel, it's totally a thing and I don't get why this is suddenly something to ridicule

Hey, maybe don't feel like this is a thing you should have done. Do you need to include chopsticks if you're presenting a plate of sushi? American food can stand for itself without adding exoticizing props.

Lift the tangle of noodles up just enough to bite off the top and let the rest fall back into the bowl like a animal

Porpoise noise continues.
Depending on the country, you eat some things with chopsticks and some things with spoons and even forks. One of the only things I preferred about living in Korea over living in Japan was getting to eat my rice with a spoon.

Also, in Thailand, you're supposed to use your spoon to cut things and your fork doesn't go in your mouth. You use the fork to put food on your spoon.

I had a friend who could eat cooked apples but not raw ones. Or maybe the other way around, I don't remember. Anyway that's my story

I'm this person, though not literally. I'm not your IRL friend. A lot of raw fruit gives me digestive murder in the same way as lactose intolerance. Allegedly it has to do with the fructose concentration which is harder to digest than glucose and if you don't have the proper enzyme you don't digest it, but your gut bacteria does just as it does with lactose. Both are sugars that are a step above the absolute simplest which is glucose. So you get the same discomfort as lactose intolerance because it's essentially the same thing. Cooking fruit breaks down the fructose into glucose for you. Apples have incredibly high fructose concentration so they're often the worst fruit for a person whose liver doesn't produce the proper enzyme. Or at least that's what I'm told.

And yes, I am both lactose and fructose intolerant. My liver is garbage.

I'm sucrose intolerant, anything with sugar in it murders my guts. Same side effects as lactose intolerance. I didn't know fructose intolerance was a thing but it makes sense.

No, she just set all of her accounts to private. I saw a recent picture of her, she is still the same size and is apparently still obsessed with the gym. :smith: Also, not to be a bummer, but a lot of anorexics will make food deliberately unappealing because either they don't plan on eating it or they want to eat it but they don't want to feel like they could finish it.

Probably not all that weird and I haven't tried it with booze yet but one I like goes like this;

One can of lemon lime soda(probably would do a little less if one were to add booze)

Orange juice(exact amount to taste)

A splash or two of grenadine(mostly for color, but it definitely tastes better than without)

Properly mixed it has the color of and tastes a lot like one of those sherbet pushup pops

My experience in Malaysia was chopsticks in Chinese places, hands in Indian places, forks or chopsticks almost at random in Malay places.

On the topic of cocktails, I had horchata with dark rum recently and that's a tasty drink.

Yeah there's pretty much all kinds of cutlery in Malaysia everywhere. Most places will have backup cutlery in case you dont know how to use what's provided.

Also in Indian places it's bread to handle food, then you wipe your hads on it and eat it. yum.

Now what's up with metal chopsticks? I've never even seen those around before I started eating Korean.

Last Christmas we drank a ton of Snowballs (advocaat + Sprite), which were awesome.

Drinks that were okay, but possibly only because I was already tipsy: peppermint schnapps + milk; straight creme de banane; akvavit + Coke

Bad ideas: that time my roommate used leftover eggnog (with lots of rum already mixed in) to make mashed potatoes; a Christmas house party where we ended up mixing "cocktails" in my buddy's beer bong that consisted of whatever was left of the other drinks (peach schnapps, the aforementioned eggnog, Bud Light, blue curacao, mulled apple cider, grenadine, possibly Bailey's?, probably other crap I'm forgetting)
