Food Pet Peeves

we probably got this thread already, but i just want to state that places that serve gyros but dont offer lamb is bullshit.

[YPrrrr]

That is a shame, probably because lamb is more expensive

I've found Harkins does a moderate amount of butter and often just ask how much you want
I always ask for extra

Mine is all these trendy sweets places like donut shops, ice cream parlors etc that have the most mediocre product but get attention because they cover everything in a rainbow of glaze/syrup and drown them in awful sprinkles etc

this is true. I guess people have seen too much of these sorts of things get internet attention and decided they can do it themselves when they can't

[Hiro]

even the places that would potentially make good things are ruining it with all that shit

i wonder if those who behave as if sugary coffee-flavored milkshakes deserve to be called '''coffee''' set him off especially badly lol

those are basically the only coffee-based beverages i like

but i recognize that they're not really coffee[/spoiler]

I suppose such is the cost of developing resilient plants that will produce the gains necessary to feed the human population. Blindly trusting Montsano ain't the way to go either. There's room for caution ofc

The problem is a lot of gmos aren't properly tested in regards to what their effects will be.

Genuinely curious, is there an example you have in mind?

i would never blindingly trust monsanto, nor would i ever advise or suggest they be blindly trusted lol

i have yet to see an example of gmo produce that is any worse for human consumption than a non-gmo equivalent, but if there's been a new development on that front i'm interested in seeing for myself

there certainly is room for caution, and so far the real cost of mass-producing resilient plants has been ecological, in theory (crossing over of genes for resilience into pest species would be an enormous problem) and legal, in practice (monsanto's pursuit of flimsy copyright infringement claims is often devastating, and devastatingly petty; plus the whole notion of gene patenting in general has terrifying implications)

but as far as i'm aware, as far as human nutrition goes, gmos are equally as safe as non-gmos, if not outright better because of the ability to augment their nutritional value through gene manipulation
