I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.
I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.
There are different degrees of processing. The “meat” mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.
Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork
Ground truth here: I don’t know if you’re ready for it, but despite being the capital of the confederacy, Richmond is close enough to the east coast megalopolis that it is more northern than not. Yes, we still have those problems here, but we are moving in the right direction. One residents opinion.
I second this opinion from my comfy vantage point in North Chesterfield. Just don’t move near Hull and Broad Rock or you’ll be moving again within a year (nightclub opened across the alley, heroin and sex work all over, and my neighbor murdered someone… LOL)
Yeah I like Richmond. Good weather; good food; good beer; outdoor activities; proximity to beaches, mountains, and vineyards… Like you said, political ideology is moving in the right direction.
bread requires figuring out that ground up grain with water can be poured onto a rock heated up by fire and made into a tasty pancake thingy
a knife requires a sharp rock, a stick, and a bit of rope made out of tightly twisted plant fibers
i’m reasonably confident if i was thrown into a jungle i’d be able to DIY myself a basic knife within a day or two, perhaps even before getting mauled by wild animals. Bread though? Even with the foresight of knowing what i need i’d struggle. Rocks, sticks, and plants are pretty much everywhere. Where do i find wild grain??
When processed, the meat bits, (and yes they are leftover meat bits), are ground into a paste with water added, (nearly all ham you buy has “Water Added” listed on the tag - exception would be something like “country ham” or prosciutto ham), then pumped into a carboy, (the paste is then called babbit), seasonings are then mixed in and then molded by machine into a glorious block 'o ham! To be sold at your local Deli as part of a delicious sandwich for which you happily pay your “hardly earned” monies.
Eh, such products minimize the waste of things that would otherwise be thrown away and lost. Us humans have been processing the scraps and leftovers of our food into other edible products for as long as we can remember - Waste not, Want not.
The problem is the disconnect modern urbanites have from their food and not knowing how it gets made. If you like deli ham eat it! (in moderation as all things should be), it’s not all that different in processing than a hot dog, sausage, or hamburger. Or even cheese…
How is that any different than a sausage, hamburger, or any other food using ground meat? If we are going to eat meat, it’s better to utilize as much of the animal as possible.
I haven’t enjoyed the most recent couple of seasons, I can’t tell if I’m just nostalgic for the older seasons or if they are just bad. I feel like there’s more culture references (like COVID and Amazon) in these later ones as well
The new season feels forced, as if they had a checklist of gags to do to stay relevant. Covid, crypto, getting canceled, amazon.
Some of the jokes were funny, but story is bland, and feels like something LLM spew out.
Hulurama’s first season was been pretty bad, with the notable exception of “All the Way Down,” which felt like a classic episode. I just found out the next season has already started, so I’ll get to watching those episodes. Are they any better, or pretty much the same so far?
I watched through the end because I was curious where it was going, but I think it got a last season just to wrap things up. Most of the plot lines made no sense or didn’t really get wrapped up.
It kept feeling like it was building towards something, but it never delivered on any level. Humor was okay, but really shows Groening should stick to an episodic format.
Yeah, I’m watching season 5 now and it feels really rushed, which now makes sense since I found out it was cancelled before they could tell the story they wanted to. Very flawed show, but unique enough that I still like it overall. Oona’s a particularly great character. Or is?
It was nice to get a new adult animated show that tried to be more than just a raunchy comedy. The plot was intriguing, even if it never really found itself, and the setting was fun and unique.
Since you liked it you could also check out Krapopolis. It’s a interesting animated comedy set in ancient Greece about creating “civilization” with some pretty big voices.
Same here. The new Futurama episodes on Hulu are just not nearly as good as the original run and at this point are worse than the Comedy Central run. This season in particular has a number of episodes that have too many plot points that don’t come together for a cohesive story.
I abandoned it. One of the specific things I could tell disappointed me was the foley effects. There’s a 5-10 second sequence of Bean escaping from some evil queen that’s taken her captive, climbing over obstacles and up a rope, and it was basically silent except for the music.
I understand in isolation it comes off as a nitpick, but it’s maybe the most direct explanation I have for the show feeling low budget and incomplete. On top of that, the writing seemed to want to be higher stakes than Futurama by wrapping a larger story, but things just got resolved so unceremoniously. (That escape being one of those instances - it went from a moment of capture and peril to just going home out of nowhere)
