“give me a badly drawn solemn judgment please”

I’m going to purposefully misinterpret my religious texts in a way that makes me feel justified in not liking this

I suppose but that’s not inherently unhealthy or even bad for you in the traditional understanding of the phrase. I understand not wanting to drink your calories as someone who struggles with significant weight loss, but the what about the inverse? I’m sure there are some people who need to drink profound amounts of calories just to survive.

If you want unprocessed applesauce, buy apples. They’re a choice no different than anything else.

Processed food isn’t bad for you… GMOs aren’t bad for you… that’s the propaganda farmers use to keep you from making common sense choices.

“Processed” is anything that goes into a machine. You want your beef ground up? It’s now processed. What’s added in the processing is what you need to isolate and be weary of.

“Genetically Modified Organisms” includes bananas which have been selectively cultivated to provide more nutrition and reduce seed sizes. It’s a result of intelligent agricultural practices to maximize food production and minimize inedible waste.

Plant based meat has been an incredible substitution for meat making it cruelty free without compromising much on taste or texture, if at all.

Lab grown is the next step, making genuine meat without slaughtering animals. I’m not aligned with PETA but I think an ideal future is one where we don’t need to kill sentient life in order to have exactly what we do right now.

You can have your own opinion but at the very least be aware of the origin of your bias.

3rd wave kinda… did that on their own. Barely a few years ago there were ‘feminists’ shutting down MRA sessions by pulling fire alarms where it was literally a bunch of dudes talking about their problems. It’s still relatively recent memory that people who called themselves feminists were some of the most unhinged human beings we had to deal with.

Yes, you can argue “those weren’t actually feminists” or “they were extreme and don’t represent everyone” but a lot of people still have those feminists in mind when the term comes up. It’s not “men who hate women” who created this perception, it is the women who hate men.
