This is no joke and seen as a point of cultural pride. Normal human people-made sweet tea isn't TERRIBLE but restaurants have been racing to make it super sweet (we used to super saturate ours by mixing it right after it brewed) and now that's become the standard because the brain loving loves sugar. It's why restaurant food is also extremely salty

Not from me boss, I'm as open and accepting of all food as possible. I just got done having an argument with somebody irl about GMOs actually, which is becoming something of an unintentional hobby of mine apparently I've got a love affair with fatty foods like eggs and sardines and I want the world to cast off the shackles of lovely cheap carbs pretending like they're healthy and embrace the wonderful world of flavor and deliciousness of rich foods I'm careful about what I eat and spend a lot of time with meatheads thanks to my hobby of lifting, but a lot of these people are loving nuts about food. Have a little faith in your body people goddamn

Lot of Regionalism and "UM, ACTUALLY" the past couple pages trying to spin the very basic fact that poor, monocultural White People food is garbage for babies, but their diet drastically improves as you add money and/or cultural exposure. Like, my Dad's favorite food as a poor college student was "spaghetti", where the sauce was just tomato sauce with sugar. Now that he has money and segregation isn't the literal law of the land, he loves Thai and Indian and sushi. He's talked at length about how he and his grandfather actively avoided new foods, because poverty meant that if you tried something new and didn't like it loving tough that's what you were eating anyway, possibly for days. Guess what that does to a palate?

I'm speaking from experience in the ATL burbs, where if MARTA ran out there the station would be sabotaged within an hour of being opened. The diet is the cause of these issues, but not the reason that the sufferers are predominantly poor (which is the south is code for black), that's because of lack of access to healthcare which is not an issue where people have money. It's also a whole different can of worms

You know, I was going to be smarmy about my local food, but then I realized that there really isn't a regional cuisine that I can point to, and instead a mashup of Mexican and creole dishes, with a side of grits. Still, gently caress you Yankees for insinuating that Texan's can't take the heat.

I don't think there was anything official, but it was bantered about in the press. Christie's not a good pick in any way shape or form, but at this point Trump isn't playing the same game as everyone else. Supposedly Christie is a decent attorney general, and that could be the angle Trump is hoping to utilize.

Some positive local news.  The New Hampshire Executive Council, which wields veto power over state contracts among other things, voted 3-2 to restore $549,000 in funding to Planned Parenthood. Chris Sununu, who is the frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, cast the deciding vote. He voted against funding in August. He explained his switch as being due to the debunking of the PP videos allegedly selling body parts. He is pro-choice. He's getting hammered for it by other Republicans, but I don't think anything can stop him from winning the primary for Governor. http://www.wmur.com/politics/executive-council-votes-32-to-restore-funding-to-planned-parenthood/40276040 quote:“They’ve been debunked,” he said. “And so while it could be politically expedient to do the opposite, at the end of the day we have to make sure that we are providing the best services for the women, especially low-income women, of the state. This contract provides that and I’m not going to stand in the way of it.”
