Unfortunately, a lot of people are not well-informed about what "processed" food constitutes, to begin with.

According to the Department of Agriculture, processed food are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged.

As such, most of our diet is processed food, and there's nothing wrong with that. If there are particular ingredients that have been added in the processing of any consumer product that are themselves bad for your health, I would definitely encourage abstinence from that product.

While vaping is monumentally safer for one's health than cigarette smoking, both are still a needless introduction of potential harm to one's health, I agree.

But we must eat food, and the harm from that food being vaguely "processed" versus the harm from it containing ingredients certainly known to contribute to stroke, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes just isn't a worthwhile comparison.

They have more protein, fiber, and iron than beef.

Red meat consumption has been shown to increase risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, full stop.

I don't know what a "health food" would be, but I would probably classify them as foods that are healthier alternatives to foods that are proven bad for your health. Which is what "Impossible" etc. are.

"Life Circle," though?

I think you're about to cook them.

The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.

Well, an assumed connection between legality and morality is perhaps part of the disconnect.

Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is not morally wrong *simply because they are legally considered minors and you an adult.

Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is considered morally wrong, by some, because the state of their mental maturity is often far below that of an adult even 5 years older. Consider the biological "growth" of the human brain; having not fully developed, their behavioral maturity follows suit. This means their ability to reason, their ability to act in their own best interest, is less than your own. At a certain level of disparity, this imbalance is usually considered "taking advantage" of someone. Asking them to do things they have less an ability to understand than yourself starts to look a lot like coercion.

*ETA

Thank you for sharing!

I think it could very well be dissolving at least a coating. I would use more dilute IPA. 👍

Believe it or not, there have been well-reasoned, aptly articulated arguments against capitalism delivered by earnest, enlightened people (and members of every class), delivered chiefly out of compassion for their fellow man, for over 200 years.

Anti-capitalism sentiment is in no way a transient sensation. It's clear from your comments you aren't well-read on the subject, and I don't mean that as an insult; with some even-keeled reading of relevant works rather than knee-jerk dismissal of all criticism of capitalism as people looking for something to "blame for their woes," you will undoubtedly have a better grasp on the world and your own position in it.

This is it, folks

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Who, Plop?

They did, and you're right. A cursory search corroborates the notion. Whether we have transcripts of a call is just bloviating questions from a snarky shithead troll.

you put up the 95%

No, I'm not the person you responded to.

But "I shouldn't have to look up your claim" is really letting yourself down. Be better. You weren't forced to look something up, you were elucidated to the fact that it was an oft-cited, elementary component of the vaping discussion, and that if you were ignorant to the concept, it was but a google search away.

Instead of educating yourself, you did the thing petulant internet trolls do and told us you felt entitled to spoon-fed basics. I don't think you are trolling, so do yourself a favor next time and take responsibility for your ignorance, and pleasure in finding out new things for yourself. Then you won't have to feel called out for being too lazy to learn, just too lazy to look at usernames.

95% has been cited for 9 years, constantly, and the study is available from a simple google search, along with many articles since then that muddy the water.

The truth will continue to be of the same spirit, though, and rather obviously: vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking.

slips, trips, and falls out of the grape-stomping bucket and tumbles off the elevated platform "Ooo, oooo, ooo-"

Prosecution, but yeah. Persecute this shithead

I haven't encountered that and it's upsetting and dumb.

I bet myself I would find the word "smarmy" somewhere here. Agreed

That's the mistake you've been making that I pointed out: they were never challenging the fact that knowing employment law will protect your job when protesting. They were challenging a conflation of the law with company policy.

No one in this discussion thinks the Constitution will protect them from termination when the company has employment law on their side, they're insisting against (what seemed to be your) assertions that acting against company policy was a matter of criminal law.

E: They said "It is [...] legal to voice political opinions, even on company time, even on company platforms, and it is also legal for the company to fire the people doing so." And you replied "That’s the misinformation that caused these people their jobs. Stop spreading it. You’re wrong, and dangerously misinforming others about US laws. You cannot voice political opinions at work if the company has a policy against the practice." They weren't spreading misinformation, man. You, however, are using words like "you cannot" about company policy, like a bootlicker.
