That is a sign of carbohydrate addiction. If you switch your food to protein and fat, after a few weeks you won't have the urgency and you will find skipping a meal is fine.
You have a better tolerance for carbs then most people. However, this meme is about people basically being addicted to carbs and fighting their food cravings when they burn through the 5g of glucose in the blood (because the body stores fat, not carbs). Carbs are the reason people are on the hangry roller coaster, always thinking about the next meal like it's an emergency
Oh, that is already happening now. The average person in the west eats about 70% plant based foods, mostly ultra processed. In the US specifically corn subsidies mean corn is in every processed food, hence the ubiquity of HFCS (The C is for Corn).
And in the US it was banned in the context that people were selling cheaper horse meat as expensive beef - so the ban was more for food purity reasons then anything else.
And if you wanted to stop people eating meat, you would subsidize plant based food so by virtue of economics every person would eat at least 70% government funded plant food.
Depends, are we talking the highest retail price? Or clearance prices?
Let's take steam as an example, before steam existed I was a big pirate. Now that steam exists and it's so convenient I basically buy every game. But I only buy them after wish listing them and waiting until they get to like $5 or less. So I'm a bargain basement patient gamer.
For other things I'm the same way, so what would be the actual cost of a cheapskates pirate library? Flea market clearance DVD prices would be fair
Two farmers live next to each other. One raises cows, the other pigs.
The cow farmer can get milk from their cows and drink it, but some governments say they can't give that milk to their neighbors.
That's where the government should have no business between private parties.
The Amish run into this problem alot.
Now the pig farmer can't give a whole hog to their neighbor, some governments say it must go through an approved butcher.
That's also a problem.
Setting rules about what can and can't be done for retail sale between strangers, makes sense thats a good place for regulation. Rules between private people not so much.
In the case of banning meat, there better be real human studies with metabolic wards and hard outcomes. Using epidemiology and low risk associations to push a political or religious agenda is exactly what government regulation should NOT do.
Yeah, I do really appreciate the time we had with lemm.ee
As the second most active instance I can only imagine the burden it carried.
