  • YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice

  • I didn't learn these tricks because I was experiencing obesity...

    Try volunteering at your local food bank some time, they certainly need the help right now

  • To each their own. Brown rice comes in 20lbs bags too. The biggest benefit in my opinion is brown rice keeps me feeling fuller longer.

    totally agree on chicken broth adding that extra something

  • Thanks for contributing. Some of your content on fat is not supported by evidence. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are the healthiest fats, and saturated fats increase risks of heart disease.

    Here's a great article from the Nutrition Source discussing these concerns head on. TL;DR

    Given the above information, is commercially processed canola oil harmful?

    Although care must be taken in handling and processing of canola oil and other vegetable oils, canola oil is a safe and healthy form of fat that will reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels and heart disease risk compared to carbohydrates or saturated fats such as found in beef tallow or butter.  Indeed, in a randomized trial that showed one of the most striking reductions in risk of heart disease, canola oil was used as the primary form of fat. [8] Whether using cold-pressed canola oil provides some small additional benefit is not clear.

    In general, variety is a good strategy in nutrition, and thus consuming a variety of oils is desirable, for example using extra virgin oil when the special flavor is desired and canola oil or soybean oil for other uses. Both canola and soybean oils provide ω-3 fatty acids that are important to include in an overall diet.  Of course, avoiding overheating and burning of oils is important to provide the best taste and to avoid damaging the healthy-promoting fatty acids that they contain.

  • Depression

    Jump

  • As another commenter alluded to, inflicting trauma and depression on perceived enemies is an intentional tactic of oppressors. Therefore any moments of joy are acts of resistance against oppression. Depression is a valid response, but it isn't always helpful to yourself or others. So trying to find ways to cope can improve your situation.

    Two things I find helpful for coping are being in community with people who share my values and volunteering to try to improve my corner of the world. I find both of these things through my Unitarian Universalist church. There's no expectation to believe any specific scripture, just a shared set of values. The first principle being all humans have inherent worth and dignity. Our congregation has people who identify as atheist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, several types of pagan, etc. Our music program is also a big bonus. Find a congregation near you, they can vary based on the local membership and many stream services so you can check out the vibe before going in person.

  • Here's an FDA report on a Romain lettuce E. coli outbreak that resulted in 5 deaths. There's a couple of ways E. coli can get from cow intestines to lettuce: cow manure gets into irrigation canals/streams, and a downstream farm uses that to water their crops; manure used for fertilizer is not properly treated; cows get into farm fields that they shouldn't be in. Lettuce is particularly susceptible because it is often eaten raw.

  • MooOO!

  • The cows kill count would go up even more if you count air/water pollution and food borne illnesses caused by their manure on produce

  • [Serious] What's your favorite non-profit and why?

    Jump

  • Coalition for Rainforest Nations. They work with indigenous and local communities, and national governments to do everything possible to protect rainforests and reforest areas. The donations really stretch far because they predominantly work in low income areas.

    ProPublica is a no paywall investigative news organization that has really hard hitting reporting that holds corrupt businesses and people accountable. They have a good track record of getting consequences for the things they report on.

    World Wildlife Foundation does great work with preserving biodiversity and raising awareness of nature with the public. It's hard to care about something if you don't know about it

    My local Unitarian Universalist church creates a place for LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people to feel safe and celebrated and the people do so much work trying to make our local community a better place. There's no expectation to believe any specific scripture, just a shared set of values. Find a congregation near you

  • How badly is global warming / climate change going?

    Jump

  • As the other commenters have already shared, things are going poorly. An issue with climate change is that concrete consequences are delayed behind our actions, there is already more warming baked in. But I worry about the focus on the binary good or bad outcome on climate change and the people who say things like "it's too late." (fossil fuel astroturfing pushes this phrase btw). Climate change is not binary and it's never too late for us to try prevent worse things happening.

    Despite unfavorable political winds in some developed countries, there's progress in developing nations and, most importantly, India and China. China is spending nearly $1 trillion/year on green energy and infrastructure. They clearly want to dominate the global green energy economy. India is adding big solar capacity too. And solar is also taking off across Africa, where off-grid diesel generators are being directly replaced with small-scale solar systems. Since electricity for solar is now the cheapest form in many areas of the world, it often pays for itself and keeps increasing as an attractive investment.

    We thankfully already have the most of the technology needed to address climate change (carbon-free energy, energy storage, better power grids, more forests and less cattle). And green tech keeps getting better, I like the channel Undecided with Matt Ferrell to keep up with tech advancements. But no technological progress will be enough if fossil fuel companies keep drilling. As things worsen, the political appetites will also certainly change.

    Culvers credits you for ordering healthy drinks

    Jump

  • Caffeine in moderate quantities is alright. Coffee and tea are antiinflammatory as well, without the loads of sugar and cream they're healthy drinks.

    I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source for science-based nutrition info that's easy to read.

  • I have two friends born to parents of similar ages as that. Both have had very happy families. One was an only child. The other had a similar age gap with his half siblings, they didn't interact much while he was growing up, but now that he's an adult they hang out all the time. It seems like both friends have had to deal with more challenging losses of parents earlier in their lives than typical, but there's no guarantee about tomorrow anyway.

    what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god?

    Jump

  • Not strictly about boundaries, but I think you'd like the Evolving Self by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It goes a lot into how to consider your priorities in life and what you want to spend your time on
