SoL food porn is real....

Swear it's all just a conspiracy to make us crave Japanese food... it's a wonder more Japanese are not as fat as us Americans...
Well, Japanese foods tends to be of a better quality than americans ones (that is to say not filled with too much salt or sugar, or using better ingredients to begin with). This help in reducing obesity rate quite a lot.

One of the other thing influencing an obesity rate is a good food culture that is learned as soon as possible, like do not eat too much, cook as much as possible, alternate what meal you make, do not overuse oils, etc...

I think the only real problem they have is parasites from raw fish and colorectal cancer from eating to much smoked food.

Lived in Sweden for a number of years. While there I worked as a cook in bars and catering restaurants. My diet was actually less "healthy" then it was while living stateside. Yet I lost nearly 150lbs.

It's not just the sugers and salts that are added to the food we eat, it's all the preservatives, food colorings, non-food additives, and leftover hormones and vaccines they give the animals so they can survive till their slaughtered.

Fun fact, did you know that some Shredded cheese is coated with finely ground sawdust? It's only function is to keeps the cheese from clumping together and add a non-zero ammount of bulk weight to the product xD. And that is just one of the less insidious non-food additives. Many of our food products are laced with chemicals to make you more addicted to the food.

I was hesitating to mention those too, as it can be quite controversial in certain communities to mentions them.

LMAO, sorry if I come off as one of those slightly nutty conspiracy theorist, but actually did some research while I was living abroad. I was trying to source some ingredients for the restaurant and kept running into product bans.

Turns out american food corporations have a much easier time stuffing questionable crap into their products. Just as an example, most food coloring needs to be from natural sources in Sweden, where as here in the states, the artificial flavor and food colors, are mostly artificial.

It's cellulose powder I believe, which can certainly be extracted from saw dust but also from any plant in general. I think industrially the other common source is left over cotton dust.

Ah yes, the dangers of veterinary vaccines? So you want cows with Bovine Distemper?(Eradicated mostly, so we generally don't even need this one anymore) There are certainly some agricultural practices where Europe has a better track record, salmonella and eggs for example. But the Did Your Own Research group regularly don't understand the dangers and safety regulations involved in food production. Or, even why some products are banned in other countries. (Shock, a lot of times it's protectionism.)

I mean just look at all the people looking for Bird Flu Raw Milk. It's like a Darwin Awards Arms Race with some of these people.

Hmm, seems we've caught the attention of one of the ignorant. Not that you would believe a thing I say but just in case, I'm not talking about the humane ranches that have a few hundred head of cattle on a couple thousand acres of land. The responsible fokes who give two shits about not just the animals they raise, but the products they provide for the rich and less ignorant to eat.


We're talking about the corporate run slaughterhouses that raise cattle on a postage stamp sized lots. You know the places that pumped their herds full of growth hormones to make them bigger, and then even greater ammount of antibiotics because they can't be bothered to let the cattle move more then the few feet it takes to reach the grate where they shit and the slop trough where their food is dispensed.

The same places that had to completely slaughter their entire stockyards a few years back because some management genius who thought it was a bright idea to bulk up the silage with the less profitable bits of the slaughtered animals, like the brains, ground up bones, and offal... remember the news reports of mad cow disease? Yupper that's them.


So yes, please go on talking about a subject you only have second or third hand knowledge about. It makes you look really smart for all the hot girls you will never meet.

Well, he is a guy who was blessed by the fire god for all the advancements in cooking he brought. Any chef worth the name should use this opportunity.

You don't even understand the cattle raising system and yet you're criticizing it. No one raises cattle on postage size lots. You're thinking Pig breeding pens. Modern farmed cattle are generally raised outside and finally finished in feeding lots. That's where you have them fed on mostly corn. To bulk them up for slaughter. Antibiotics are not generally feed for sanitary/medical reasons, they're fed to artificially increase mass on the cows. Is this an abuse of the drugs? Yes! Are there known issues with the meat itself? No!

Do you know which cows had the first reported case of BSE in North America? Canada - 1993. How many cases of atypical BSE have been detected in the US since? 6. When was the last known detection of the problem in the US? May 2023. How many cows were killed because of that "outbreak"? 1. The sick cow.

Do you even remember the problems that Britain had with BSE in the 80s and 90s? Europe didn't allow full importation of British Beef until 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_cow_crisis France had a BSE case in 2016.

Now point me to the US stockyards that had to slaughter their entire stockyards, because of BSE.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallmark/Westland_Meat_Packing_Company Wasn't shut down because of BSE. They were shut down because of using Downer Cows.
There are plenty of US farmers that have had to slaughter most if not all their cows in the past 5 years. None of them were for BSE reasons. They were purely economic. It was too expensive to raise them to market. And they weren't getting much back when they did sell.

Factory farms totally have their problems, they're rarely ethical. The desire to maximize profits can cloud people to the place they stand in the food system. I'll readily say the conditions suck. But using scare tactics only makes it harder to fix the actual problems in the system.

The only one devolving into personal insults is you. You're claiming superior knowledge, but you're not displaying any of it.
