Cook it all. Save what you don't eat in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Cooked noodles are so useful. Fry them with chili paste, yum yum! Make peanut sauce and eat them cold. Even just tossed with sesame oil and salt they are pretty good.
I think it's more like government can ban what can be sold as food and make advice. They can't really stop you from drinking bleach or eating the grass in your yard or whatever. They can only prevent you from feeding it to someone else or selling it as food.
Meat isn't a food that could be banned in the same way as, say, Red Dye #4 or force-hydrogenated fats or high fructose corn syrup. They could make farmers cull whole herds of cows if mad cow broke out i guess, but there are wild hogs, backyard chickens and goats, it's just not a controllable food.
I'm from before 2000 and the turn to years being so small broke me, it used to be so clear which number was the year with just 2 digits, and day, month, year is sorting from smallest unit to biggest, it has logic. But then for awhile you could have a 04, an 05, and an 06 and I was working with other countries, it wasn't at all clear which was year month or day, so I started sandwiching the month in the middle as a word when handwriting dates and using 4 digit year, and year month day sorts like a dream for filenames.
I get black bean veggie burger with bacon and cheese at the cafe at my work and it's fantastic. I put mayo, jalapenos and onion on it, sometimes a little Sriracha.
Oh the black kittens. I had a tiny black kitten Anonymous who was the worst cat ever. Screeched and wouldn't let me pick him up or pet him, crawled into inaccessible places and peed where it couldn't be cleaned, tore up merchandise in the shop. He was such a nightmare of a kitten but one day (and it really felt like a change from one day to the next) emerged an enormous long haired black tomcat. Sweetest natured big cat. So affectionate, he would put his paws on my cheeks to "kiss" me. Smart too, still a little evil, jealous of any boyfriends. But such a wonderful adult cat. Rest in peace, Anonymous.
I guess I'd try some, regardless of the legal status of other meats. To see if I liked any. But the insect population has collapsed worse than other animals, I'm not sure how this is an environmental improvement.
Culinary-wise I think I'd do better being vegan probably, though I'd certainly miss having meat and miss cheese and eggs even more.
Maybe I'd get chickens again and let them eat the bugs so I could have the eggs.
That's assuming I didn't end up really enjoying cricket pancakes or popped flies or deep fried beetles or stir fried rice with ants or whatever.
I would personally be squicked out by that age gap because she's young enough to be your kid. But I'm not you or her, it's not my business, right? If your daughter thinks she'll be good for you, the reverse matchmaking is funny, why not at least meet and see how you feel?
Maybe the iron skillets. I don't think a day passes that I don't use those. Or my house, it's from the 1940s. Some of the furniture is older than that too, though I don't think there is any one piece I actively use each day.
Truly oldest? Double entry accounting, I use nearly every day and that's from around 1300.
They do not do deposit returns here anymore, but even so, most neighborhoods I've lived, people come look through the recycling for aluminum cans to scrap. So I would set them on the side in a tote instead, it was always such old people, moving slowly down the road with a rolling cart. This neighborhood is apparently too bougie for that, even though as far as I can tell we still are never more than 2 blocks from at least one homeless person.
Ok for awhile I think. Until I was captured and killed for being some sort of impossible demon, or sacrificed as a prize because of unusual looks. Knives, tools to barter, rope, food. Nothing particularly good for hunting with.
Measure your waist monthly. Yep just your waist. For me, I generally see weight loss over a few months of increased exercise. You will get better results with strength training, less weight loss but more lean, so just as much change in volume. Bodyweight will get you there but at some point you may want to pick up weights.
Remember that physical activity does a lot more than keeping your size where you want it. It's good for your mental health, your bones, your heart, digestion, it's an important part of a healthy life, be glad you are able.
Yoga isn't competitive, but is physical exercise, that was why the example. Sport in general could be less competitive, and more fun.
There are already lots of categories in competitive sports. Nobody at my kids school was hostile towards the trans kids, that hostility is coming from the state and a few parents and the schools, as far as we can tell, are doing their best to insulate the kids from it.
Trans men can't compete against women because that's literally illegal doping. My kid wanted to start T at 18 and wanted to do soccer at school and I had to gently remind him that was not possible, the school isn't allowed to let girls onto the boys team (for sports that have a girls team) and then they could not be on the girls team either.
So that's already handled with existing rules.
I do agree with more categories, if we already have categories, and if there are enough people in a given category to field a team. Schools don't need to rank teams, honestly, they could just stop doing that, let the kids play on mixed teams and be better off. I don't personally know any trans people who think it's unfair they can't do pro sports, though I'm sure they exist.
I do know a lady who transitioned though, did yoga with her and she could still do better more of the things guys are better at, despite being on E for a long time because she still had the shoulders & frame like a guy, weight distribution different. Was also 6'3" but height doesn't confer specific advantage in yoga.
they lose all their muscle mass after transition. Estrogen does that
Unfortunately mom & her mom got dementia, so unless something comes along earlier to kill me, or unless we get a good preventative, that is more likely my fate.
No, they weren't overweight or smokers or physically idle, my mom was a professor and kept lifelong friends, really no lifestyle risk factors. Of course that's only on the one side of my family, my dad died of heart condition that I don't have and I'm not sure about his parents.
