I remember that Jamie Oliver show, most people he encountered seem to be ignoring him because he's British. They'd all have that same "why is this up-tight dude British dude trying to tell us how to feed our kids" look on their face at all times.

I watched one episode of his show and it was painful how bad he was at making his point. I think the guy totally has noble intentions but isn't grounded in reality. In the episode I saw he was basically berating all these old lunch ladies about why they always served frozen stuff they heat up instead of hand-making fresh, healthy lunches for the kids. Then they explained to him that they are tasked with making lunch for hundreds of kids in a short amount of time on a shoestring budget.

Later he set up a taste-test with the kids at the school where the kids had the option of eating BBQ chicken with fresh veggies as sides or frozen pizza. He genuinely seemed perplexed that most of the kids ended up choosing the pizza because, well duh.

Meat and bone paste aside, I think nuggets is one of the few foods where swapping in fake meat works. Nobody eats nuggets for the chicken anyway, they eating for the crispy fried coating. May as well swap the inside for textured vegetable protein or soy flour.

Trader Joe's has very good soy flour nuggets that were discontinued for a while, but now they're back! :yum:

I know some people have tried to make the chicken paste seem scary by falsely claiming that it's an entire goddamn bird mashed through a sieve, so you've got eyeballs and bits of bone that are too small to filter out too.

It's wealthy white people who have never stopped to think where food comes from. It's a weird double-standard; native Americans are mythologized as noble environmentalists for using every piece of the buffalo, but if a modern corporation in full compliance with food safety standards tries that, it's gross.

People have been coming up with ways to turn the inedible bits of animals into edible bits for as long as there have been people. Boudin noir, black pudding, chitlins, sweetbreads, steak and kidney pie, hog maws, head cheese, and yeah, eyeballs, would have been savored as delicious food by most people who have ever lived. It's only when people get rich enough to think of "food" only as something that comes wrapped in plastic from the supermarket that they start to get squeamish about how it's made.

I'd still take the people who get grossed out by chicken nugget videos over the ones who can't ever eat anything other than processed fast food because even innocuous stuff like a boneless chicken breast or fish is like too real for them or something. I guess they're so used to never having to feel like they're biting into a real animal that they've lost the taste for it completely.

This just sounds like disordered eating. There was an early episode of My Strange Addiction about a woman who only eats french fries, and like gags and has a meltdown if she tries to eat different food. Some people get: hosed up.

It probably has a lot to do with psychological issues. It has to, otherwise I just can't understand why these finickiest of eaters don't make their own food. If I was only eating one thing you bet your rear end I would be imitating and then perfecting the recipe. People would say "he's weird, he only eats croquettes" and I'd shove a plate of the finest kroketten known to mankind under their nose.

How often are you around children? That's a reasonable stance when it comes from someone who deals with others' children during their "break" on a daily basis

Anyways plastic knives and forks are a thing so maybe the conversation is moot

Admittedly, I know some schools here that I would not trust with giving the kids metal cutlery at lunch.

I agree. At least he seems remorseful and seems to be willing to take a look at himself and why he did this poo poo he did. Time will tell if he actually means any of it, or will take steps to make amends.

Here is the actual statement:

Marauding Masturbator Louis C.K. posted:


I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not.

These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my d--- without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d--- isn't a question. It's a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

I have been remorseful of my actions. And I've tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I'm aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.

I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn't want to hear it. I didn't think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.

There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.

I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work.

The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them. I'd be remiss to exclude the hurt that I've brought on people who I work with and have worked with who's professional and personal lives have been impacted by all of this, including projects currently in production: the cast and crew of Better Things, Baskets, The Cops, One Mississippi, and I Love You Daddy. I deeply regret that this has brought negative attention to my manager Dave Becky who only tried to mediate a situation that I caused. I've brought anguish and hardship to the people at FX who have given me so much The Orchard who took a chance on my movie. and every other entity that has bet on me through the years.

I've brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother.

I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.

Thank you for reading.

Yeah, this. There's also no apology; he's just acknowledging what he did and the fact that he made things lovely for a lot of people.

There's an argument to be made that apologies should be saved for individual conversations, but calling the statement an apology seems...off.
