A bag of lentils is more nutritious and has more calories per dollar, but it achieves that by being cheap as gently caress rather than calorie dense like the mcdouble. Lentils own.

There was a long and terrible period of American history where making food a lovely and bland vehicle of caloric delivery was considered a technological achievement and I'm glad that we're finally starting to move beyond that era. Happened with booze too where after prohibition it was all convenience culture and the selection sucked compared to the century prior for a long time until more recently.

But prohibition also created cocktail culture as we know it, and I'd rather have fat people with bad taste than starved people so American food ain't all bad

the cocktail came before prohibition - it was dreamed up by early pharmacists back when they thought alcohol was good for you and invented aromatic bitters intended to be mixed with booze and sugar

the first one to become known was probably the sazerac and predates the civil war

quote:

The first definition of cocktail known to be an alcoholic beverage appeared in The Balance and Columbian Repository (Hudson, New York) May 13, 1806; editor Harry Croswell answered the question, "What is a cocktail?":

Cock-tail is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called bittered sling, and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, in as much as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow any thing else.

I recall the story of the gin and tonic being invented by British troops in India making their anti-malaria medicine more appealing.

I'm pretty sure the Long Island Iced Tea is a result of mixing all the leftovers of the liquor cabinet, to make the Captain Planet of drinks.

That's probably most cocktails, actually.

The Simpsons even had the episode where Homer becomes a bootlegger, and after exhausting his initial supply resorts to home-brewing alcohol with extremely varied results.

This is was pretty much inevitable. See here as well. The Atlantic was ground zero for the deployment of social justice rhetoric in defense of neoliberalism and austerity and now that Hillary lost they'll be the first to give up on the whole project since its no longer an obvious route to power and prestige. Imagine the kind of imbecile who nodded along when Ta-Nehisi Coates was dubbed the New Baldwin and you'll have an idea of just how easily distracted these people are.

Devotees of the American Politics Show will recall that Coates rose to prominence at The Atlantic by being a huge crybaby about the Sanders campaign and Just Asking Questions about why Bernie wouldn't support reparations. Sometime later he read Bloodlands and concluded that maybe the Nazis weren't the only bad guys but this is just a coincidence.
