Holy cow, thank you!

They’re processed, yes. The corn is milled, pressed into triangles, coated with preservative-heavy flavor powder and cooked in one order or another, possibly repeatedly.

What makes it ULTRA processed?

Frickin… most raw potatoes are “processed” because they’re typically not covered in topsoil when they get put in 5lb plastic bags.

A grass-fed organic, antibiotic free, roaming free-range massaged poterhouse steak is “processed” because it’s not still attached to the cow.

I’m trying to understand the definition, here. Almost everything is processed to some degree or another.

Is white flour ultra processed because they bleach and de-hull the wheat berries? Or only when it’s made into cake flour? Or do both of those count as “processed” and only “cake MIX” counts as “ultra processed”?

Am I making sense?

First Mojo, now Kinky.

:(

Do they?

I don’t even know what an “ultra processed food” •IS•.

How is it different than the “processed cheese product” that passes for most individually wrapped “American cheese” cheese slices? Or is that ultra processed?

Are Doritos ultra processed or just the regular kind of processed?

Which kind of ground beef qualifies for “ultra”? Only the pink slime or anything that’s been chemically treated?

I’m not being a pedantic contrary asshat, I legitimately do not know what qualifies something to be in this category and why it’s worse than normal processing.

Bpa from plastic tubing used in the processing of Annie’s organic leeched into the food. Is that considered contamination or a side effect of processing?

I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.

J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!

T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?

J: What?

T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?

Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means

J: No!

J: I’m perfectly… Continent.

No, that’s GOOD news.

Learning is a good thing.

Fascinating stuff.

Thank you 😊

It looks like a fossilized wasp hive.

Seriously. ^That’s the important bit.

I would be shocked if that was on any of the judge’s minds, but it’s the primary concern in cases of domestic abuse.

Domestic abuser plus gun owner is the “my boyfriend choked me during sex without my consent” red flag for upcoming potential future death.

it’s not a guarantee, but it’ statistically waaaaaay more likely to end that way.

It’s fucking “'til” not “tell”.

'til is short for “until”.

Please stop saying “Let’s wait tell later to do that”.

I think you mis-spelled “biased”.

:)

I’ve not touched the series aince 1 and 2, but I’d be interested.

And what kills me is that continually trotting out “for the children” as an automatic “gotcha” watchword lessens the public concern for actual children and muddies the proverbial pond with regards to the actual effective/productive methods for actually protecting children.

There should be a rule about using “think of the children”/“support our troops” where you have to actually be doing something that directly and proportionally affects the group you’re referencing in a positive manner commensurate with the amount of money that’s being funnelled into the effort.

That and no shilling for cancer research donations just to spend it on yachts and advertising or whatever.

So, this has nothing to do with “think of the children” and everything to do with “we can’t harvest encrypted data”, right?

Looks like critical thinking deteriorates above 72f/22c

That explains SO many things about the decisions leading up to several of my former employers going bankrupt/getting bought out.

Pay for air conditioning in the office, people! It’s science!

:P

At what point do these kind of lies, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CURTAIL HIS FURTHER EMPLOYMENT begin to count as illegal?

When does it meet the New York Times v. Sullivan requirement for “actual malice”?

Safe deposit box?

Everyone who has one, I hope.

It’s called a Bitcoin “wallet”, too. If someone else is holding yours, it’s not your money.

Me too!

I thought it said “Grimes” and it was making a joke about how ugly and comical the cybertruck looks.

Oops.

LOL

New billboard time --“according to the city of Portland, traffic cameras are worth $100,000 each. We don’t know about all that, but they sure do contain a lot of copper…”
