Fine, ok. But do you really need a separate article for every station on the line?
It's autistics on the internet, it's literally impossible for there to not be incredibly detailed information about any and all trains

Immediately rushed to check if "Fainaru Fantajī Sebun" was still there, took a deep breath of relief

gigantic meal + diet coke = good for you, right?

nah it's more stuff like Snackwells that had "no fat" but the same number of calories as normal cookies but you get hungry again faster this is also linked to our current "giant serving size" trend

like many things, there's a good episode of Frontline about this it's called "Diet Wars"

it's also the end of a very long game by Monsanto, ConAgra, etc. to replace everything we eat with corn or soy products

It is really good cheese.

which nutrients? i still eat a lil dairy, so i'm not entirely animal protein free

omega 3s are hard to get from vegetable sources unless you pound a cup of flax oil a day

I operate under the assumption that at some point in my lifetime meat will be so extravagantly expensive that nobody will eat it regularly anyway so I'll go veggie then.
