Cigarettes make me gag but I love the smell of fresh secondhand smoke.

I definitely love second hand smoke. On the topic of smoking though, as a former smoker, snowy mornings are a peeve of mine, because they were always my favorite time to smoke, and makes me want to go smoke. See also: Crisp fall evenings.

Counterpoint: salad is not a meal unless it's one of those "salads" that's really just a pile of protein on top of a couple of lettuce leaves (which is usually the best thing to order if you're trying to lose weight). Greens may seem to fill you up now, but the snack you eat two hours later more than negates any health benefits from your lunch.

how is this a counterpoint? do you think that since some salads aren't a full meal it is actually correct and good to call a man gay for eating it

I paid nearly 500 dollars for an eye exam and new glasses more than a month ago. They gave me my "new glasses" a week later but they were laughably wrong, and literally worse than just not wearing glasses. Turns out they wrote down my prescription wrong when sending out for them so you know, entirely the optometrist office's fault.

Now more than a month on there is still no sign of my actual, working new glasses nor can I expect any sort of rebate or compensation. In the mean time I get to wear a scuffed up, lopsided affair from ten years ago at a new job and new school.

I guess my pet peeve here is american capitalism.

People who eat loving breakfast cereals or give them to their kids, unless it's like real muesli made of grains and fruit. Rice Krispies has to be one of the most disgusting, profoundly unhealthy "food" products ever designed, and people willingly buy it and give it to their kids.

I don't know what Kashi Golean Crunch is made of but it has like 10g of protein and 10g of fibre for 190-210 calories depending on the kind and it is delicious and nutritious.

Regular breakfast cereal made of sugar and sad grains should be abolished though I agree.

It's made of sugar with a bit of rice added in for consistency, then shaped into rice-shaped pellets to fool you into thinking it's made of rice. Rice krispies is a bowl of milk with sugar.

There’s no corn syrup in Rice Krispies.

Rice is the first ingredient, and there are 4 grams of sugar per serving. As cereals go, that’s pretty low, and many mueslis I’ve seen have more.

And I say this as someone who eats muesli most mornings. I don’t even like Rice Krispies.

It has added sugar = do not eat. I dunno who you're trying to kid if you think processed Kellogg's cereals aren't complete garbage

Sugar in muesli, if it's the real thing at least, is just whatever's inherent to the fruits that are in them. And muesli needn't even contain fruit.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Sugar does not suddenly become less healthy because it is added in artificially vs. being there naturally as part of fruit. The amount of sugar is what matters, and in rice krispies, it's a perfectly reasonable amount.

Anyways, overwhelmingly the biggest source of sugar in either of these breakfasts is the milk (which is a completely "natural" and "unprocessed" source of sugar, if you care about that kind of thing).

I will probably lick whatever you put in front of me.
There's somebody that will argue with almost any breakfast food though isn't there? Bacon and sausage are fatty, pancakes and waffles are a terrible carb load that bog you down, bread is bag, eggs are good or bad depending on what year it is. POP-TARTS or doughnuts are sugary. Milk is bad, fruit juice is full of sugar, kids don't drink coffee. On top of that some kids are picky eaters. The hard part is teaching them moderation and to embrace variety. Oatmeal with fruit one day, eggs another, rice Krispy one day, waffles on Saturday. Have at least three different fruits around so they can add that and feel like it's something that they chose.

My kid self feeds in the morning since my wife and i leave at 6AM. Just getting him to eat and then getting him to make good decisions is hard but he learns a thing about self regulating and responsibility. The box of rice krispies or god forbid frosted flakes is the least of my concerns. It does become a concern though if it disappears in three days and the other choices go untouched.

I kind of feel like this is another anglophone food thing where your perception of what's acceptable to eat is just way off to begin with and you go like "eh, this doesn't contain more sugar and processed carbs than this other thing I eat, so it must be fine".

The sugar itself no, but if you want to eat fruit, which contains other beneficial things, it will of course include sugar. This is fine because it's part of a package that contains other nutritious and tasty molecules. But once you start adding sugar unnecessarily to an item that is already by itself not nutritious, like heavily processed rice paste, why would you choose to eat that over the alternative? Sure Kellogg's pretends that it's "healthy" because they dunked a vitamin enrichment mix on it but these vitamins are most likely not properly absorbed by the body (which is why fortification is illegal in several European countries).

Hot take: it's perfectly fine to eat "unhealthy" food. Even if it's the most "processed", sugary thing on earth, eat it if you like it. Want a poptart? Eat a poptart. It won't kill you. It does not matter if fruit would be a healthier choice, sometimes you want the "processed" thing. You can do both, in moderation and with the appropriate amount of exercise to account for your "unhealthy" foods.

My peeve is that for a lot of goons, apparently the concept of "moderation" either doesn't exist or is a dirty word only fatties use.
