Food. Sooner or later you will have to deal with this awful inefficient stuff. This thread is for posting about capitalism's hostile relationship with food and how the act of eating, digesting, and making GBS threads out food is seen as a necessary evil. Food stamps, school lunch programs, food waste, the way food is advertised, food education, food prices, that time tech bros tried to replace eating with soylent. Stuff like that. You can also just post pictures of gross tacky food items as long as it comes from america.

What gross food did you eat as a kid that everyone thought was normal at the time? Remember the food pyramid? How many tons of non spoiled food were you forced to throw away when you got your first job in food service?

:holymoley: This is not a photoshop.

The idea was a construction worker would eat this in the morning before work and not have to stop to eat all day. Thereby eliminating the unforgivable task of stopping work to eat lunch like some kind of stupid caveman. It didn't work because construction workers are lazy food obsessed parasites.

I am not a commercial egg producer and give all my eggs away for free so people in my community have access to high quality free range eggs at zero cost to them and it keeps their money from going to corporations that gently caress everyone over for basic necessities.

If you want to support price gouging and a 700% increase in profits year to year then be my guest by its absolutely failure flavored and worth ridicule
