The packets have a ton of salt and other useless poo poo in them as well.even the flavorless ones. The maple brown sugar ones have 190mg of sodium per packet. If you're eating 3 packets at breakfast, you're getting 300-600mg of sodium for no good reason. If you're eating that much just buy the big 1kg bag of quick oats and add a little brown sugar to taste. it's like $3/kg vs $10/kg doing it that way too.

We'd all do a lot better when it comes to managing our health and environment if we started eating more based on what's in season and relying less on cheap subsidized meat, plants from half way around the world and processed garbage. Potatos, root vegetables and grains in the winter and more fresh fruits and vegetables in the summer and way less meat sugar and salt overall. I've got a crock pot full of almost finished corn and potato chowder in the fridge I just need to reheat and add cream and butter for tomorrow and it's going to be our lunch and half of dinner tomorrow and the rest is going to be packed into thermoses for ice fishing on Sunday. The house smelled like comfort food all afternoon.

That would make sense if we evolved in this climate or if our food sources could dictate the level of the population. Nothing is in-season in Winnipeg in February. Fish is almost necessary for the human diet, but local stocks on the prairies get hosed up by hobbyists, never mind attempting to feed any significant part of the population with it.

I've read some fairly convincing arguments that shipping food long distances really isn't bad. Even poo poo grown on the other side of the planet still has only a few percent of its fuel/energy spent on transport, the rest is entirely based on its production and harvest/processing. Eating some green onion grown locally or grown in mexico barely registers any meaningful environmental difference. In fact it's better to grow crops best suited for the climate where they are grown rather than try to grow everything locally.

By 'in season' I mean foods that can be harvested in the fall and stored through the winter, it's why I specified stuff like potatos and root vegetables, grains and such. I'm not advocating anything like going back to substinance farming, just reducing our need to cart most of our food in from around the globe by eating more of that stuff. And while posting about that I remembered that we have a box of yummy Moroccan clementines from Costco in the fridge and grabbed two. I'm such a hypocrite.

Just because we cant completely revert out diet to local food sources doesn't mean that there would be no benefit to reducing our intake of food that is bad for us or produced in less sustainable ways or exploitative of the workers that grow it or cruel to the livestock.

More Timmies minimum-wage fuckery: "Scarborough Tim Hortons workers banned from accepting tips after wage hike" https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/01/05/scarborough-tim-hortons-workers-banned-from-accepting-tips-after-wage-hike.html quote:"Employees at the franchise located at Lawrence Ave. E. and Markham Rd. have been told that as of 2018, there would be “no more tips” and that any tips “must go in to the till.” The instructions posted on a bulletin board also say breaks will no longer be compensated “in light of the new minimum wage increase,” according to documents seen by the Star." Before anyone asks 'is this legal', the article says yes quote:"Employers can decide if tipping is allowed in their businesses. If tipping is not accepted, the employer should make it clear to customers that gratuities will not be accepted by employees or the employer, according to the Ministry of Labour website." But of course, 'it's legal' isn't the same as 'it's not lovely' And I find it hard to believe tips at Timmies are substantial in any case

The Kirkland organic eggs in the clamshell made out of water bottles are supposedly pretty good on a "humane treatment" side of things. I know they are sourced from smaller family farms all over. That obviously doesn't mean poo poo but Costco is the only retailer I'd trust to make meaningful relationships with farmers, who they will invest in to bring operations up to scale and to get them following best practices... If their coffee and cocoa sources are any indication anyway.

Free range: chickens out in the fields. These are super expensive because chickens are dumb and get preyed on by literally anything outdoors. Free run: indoors, but chickens are free to move around as they wish and murder each other

The format of a Tim Hortons tip isn't like a restaurant, it's more like the order comes to $1.90 and the customer gives you $2, says thanks and walks away quickly because 10 cents is meaningless to them because they're so important and rich. The employee then puts the change beside the till in their little tip cup or pile that's not even usually visible to the customer.

Be fair... it's also used by creepy middle-aged men to flirt with teenage women working the till.

triplexpac posted:Yeah, I guess I’ve been a big rear end in a top hat all these years? Tipping at counter-service places like Tim's is entirely discretionary, and most people, if they leave anything, just leave their small change. It's not like restaurants where it makes up a significant portion of employees' wages.

Why would hyper-inflation tank rich people's net worth? They aren't holding their money in cash. It will wipe out people who are overly invested in bonds, and that tends not to be the extremely wealthy, because the more money you have, the more risk you can reasonably assume with your investments.

Now that I have eaten I am going to regale you all with my tales of work today. At least five times I had seniors freaking out about people under 25 getting the same prescription coverage they do, only they pay nothing instead of $4.11. "They havnt even worked for it yet!", "These kids will never learn how to be responsible with money" and "Nice to see my taxes paying for the laziest generation to continue sitting around smoking marijuana and playing video games" seemed to be the theme. Also lots of sexism and homophobia for some reason. Boomers might just be the most toxic people on the entire planet.
