Nattō is associated with both health/wellness food culture, which as we all know has fascistic roots and is associated with ideas of purity and national strength.
Further reenforcing this is that Nattō is considered a food only Japanese people like, a pillar (albiet a minor one) of ethnonational identity. Consider: 30% of people who eat it do not enjoy it but instead eat it based on aformentioned health reasons[1]. Offering nattō to people in order to see their repulsed reactions is an act of humiliation, reenforcing the superiority of the Japanese character and identifying an out-group.
Anyway it’s ok, a little mild. More stale coffee than cheese, I keep craving it though and am now fermenting my own
My fav easy go to meal is rice cooker meals you can just dump and cook for the day, especially if you do it before heading out to work and so have lunch and dinner ready to go. Nettles are another great readily available green that you can actually grow a ton of easily in a sizeable pot on a balcony (makes a great soup addition after it’s been boiled then blanched properly).
Yeah same stance when it comes to a variety of various psychedelics and supplements, but I fear this is more of an overall regression in societal use of accepted medical pathways and instead into full on internet scam bait. A big factor is how bad the anti covid screed led to overall decline in trusting medical officials, and now our own HHS and CDC are led by nepos and fools. It’s why you have people praying they found the wellspring of eternity and will willfully give medications or supplements to their loved ones that no sane practitioner would ever prescribed or advise to take.
