There are many different types of protein powders: soy, pea, hemp, pumpkin seed. It’s hard to find sample sizes so the trial and error to find one that doesn’t bother your stomach will be a bit of pain in the butt.
There are also protein bars, which can be a little high in sugar and calories, but if they don’t upset your stomach, they might be a good small on the go snack. It might be a little tricky finding one without lactose and tree nuts, but once you find one that you tolerate well, you can order them by the case.
Eggs, tinned fish and tofu are all huge staples for folks trying to up their protein intake.
Hopefully the doctor will figure out what’s causing your struggles. Good luck.
I think anyone to the left of Biden taking guns to protests is risking their life but armed right wing nutbags never seem to get beaten and killed at protests.
Should/could the US population do more to get their batshit crazy government in line? Abso-fucking-loutly!
Should the sane countries of the world do more to push back on us and check our power grabs? Also Abso-fucking-loutly!
Why is any consumer anywhere outside of the US purchasing any of our shit? I recently saw a graph on the global sales of US liquor and most countries had like a 10-20% drop in sales and only Canada went hard with a 60-80% drop (apologies, I’m pulling this from memory so it’s pretty vague).
I’d rather be alive than be your hero. Black and brown people in the US already face violence without voluntarily painting targets on their backs. If people want to stick their necks out, good for them. But it’s kinda ballsy to try to shame black and brown people in the current USA for avoiding violence from some “place of privilege “
Tbc, I dont know the most appropriate solution either
I general strike would be a good first step. It would be very painful and risky given how many folks live paycheck to paycheck and how we have almost no social safety net, but it’s safer and more realistic than everyone trying to go full Rambo or Red Dawn.
Remember at the start of COVID when we didn’t know how it spread and people were disinfecting their groceries and the feds and the bosses wanted everyone to keep working? It was only when the flight attendants threatened to strike and shut down air travel that they finally relented.
One side is trying to convince themselves that we’re not in a civil war and just an election away from getting everything back to normal. We’ve been in a cold civil war for at least a decade and it’s getting hot.
Most of whom voted for Trump. It sucks for them but the US isn’t going to get better until the people supporting the GOP learn some really hard lessons
In my part of the US, if you go to the cheapest grocery store with the cheapest produce, then you will get better prices than the farmer’s market. But it’s very sad depressing produce. Mealy, grainy apples, banged up squash, etc.
If you go to a standard middle of the road supermarket you’ll get meh produce for slightly less than the farmer’s market. If you go to Costco you’ll get a shitton of meh to decent produce for what you would have spent on a normal amount of food at the regular grocery.
High end grocers have similar prices and quality as the farmer’s markets. The fancy grocers have out of season imported stuff at a high price.
Some Asian grocers have really good deals on really fresh produce, but they don’t have much organic stuff.
The farmer’s markets have really amazing selection and variety within the scope of what is local and in season. There’s a dude with over a dozen varieties of potatoes. There’s a mushroom seller with like 4-5 different kinds of oyster mushrooms. There’s a stand that just sells foraged stuff that you almost never see in grocery stores. The meat and fish are much more expensive but small producers can’t possibly compete with factory farms on that stuff.
Same. I think I made it halfway through the first episode but as he continued to spiral it was just so deeply uncomfortable to watch. Does it get better? Is there a big payoff?
