diet habits are baked in when you're young imo - for the most part, i haven't seen many friends successfully fight against their long-term bodyshape drinking otoh, it's wild how many people basically destroy their health or lives gradually with it

What happens to these sectors when even 20% of their user base decides it's not in the budget to spend $10 on a mediocre burger and fries "value" meal whose primary initial draw was that it was supposed to be negligibly cheap?

Griz posted:margarine is "highly processed" but salted butter is "culinary" it makes sense from their definition because margarine is made predominantly from oils. for butter, it does say processed culinary, but also that they should be used sparingly. but that also fits their definition

So an observation. It is likely that US oil use has peaked and begun a slow (?) decline over the next several decades. There have been several models and most of them reached this conclusion before the legislation that started quickly moving semiconductor and battery production to the US. There is a general leftist (atleast here in CSPAM) tendency to want to see the end of the petro-dollar. This is generally expressed in terms of ending the dollars use as a tool for imperialism. I’m looking at some of these models saying daily US consumption will be 25% of what it is now by 2040 or 2050. California was just approved to phase out diesel/gas trucking by 2050 and no new gas/diesel or hybrid vehicles are going to be for sale in CA by 2035. 2023 is looking to be the third year in a row that the US will be a net exporter of petroleum. I would also point to the earlier discussion regarding non-lithium lithium equivalents that are appearing. I’m also seeing batteries and battery manufacturing factories coming in a rate that is startling to me. The future trend will be that OPEC+ is going to have to cut production to keep prices stable to prevent prices from falling below the thresholds they need to fund their governments. This is a feedback loop with US electrification. What we are seeing is that loop starting right now. this is already the dynamic driving the international politics.

I wish oxsnard could've been with us for the past 8 months of VIX being deliberately crushed by the finance industry ever since Yellen "expressed concern" about the banks' liquidity back in October.

SlimGoodbody posted:That's gotta exist in some McDonald's sales reports somewhere, though I doubt they're necessarily public. someone posted alvin and the chipmunks porn. got removed pretty quick and that should have been the end of it. but their posting enemies did the whole pearl-clutching karen thing in QCS about how oh my GOD those chipmunks are CHILDREN this is PEDOPHILIA instead of simply lolling and lmaoing, a bunch of goons rushed the QCS thread in the name of CSPAM with ardent defenses of posting erotic illustrations of young cartoon rodents, and thus dashed themselves against the permaban cliffs amazing to see, just the best forums on the internet.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:You can make potato chips in your own home with minimal effort that are probably worse for you than what Herr's packages. Are they highly processed? Probably not, if you ask people who are doing it. Base on that NOVA document, they would define both the McDonalds and local burgers as being highly-processed, as they are derived from food constituents and extruded/molded.
