baruchin , in Kellogg’s is going to war over Mexico’s nutrition label rules. A similar fight is coming to the U.S.
@baruchin@lemmy.world avatar

This is one of the few things this mexican government has done right. I think this was copied from Chile, and should be copied in many countries including the U.S. F*ck those greedy obese factories.

honey_im_meat_grinding ,

If I’m seeing this right and the Mexican labels are just either-or “excessive” labels then check out the way the UK does it – the green/orange/red colouring makes it easy to tell how horrible something is at a glance

Nythos ,

Wait is that not standard anywhere else?

goetzit ,

No, in the US every consumer is meant to be their own health expert. It doesn’t make any sense, but its the easiest way to keep feeding us unhealthy garbage for cheap

The best part is, when you want a little treat you just look for the red labels. Or when you’re trying to avoid drinks with artificial sweeteners.

Hank , in Domino’s pulls out of Russia 18 months after Ukraine invasion

Thank you Dominos for breaking the spirit of the Russian population with your horrible pizzas.

Cleverdawny ,

Idk man, I think they’re the best fast food pizzas. Better than Pizza Hut or Little Caesars, although Caesars is close

Aloha_Alaska ,

Where does Papa John’s sit in your rankings?

I haven’t had Little Caesar’s in a long time, but Papa John and Domino’s are both pretty solid options, and I like your term calling them “fast food pizza.”

Cleverdawny ,

I’ll be honest, I think I ate papa johns like two decades ago, so I have no idea. They just aren’t around me. But yeah if you think about it, they’re totally fast food. Cheap and consistent, you know what you’re getting. But if you want something GOOD you gotta go with a real, local pizza place.

We’re talking about pizza here. What relevance does Papa John’s have?

DarkThoughts ,

Then you just have garbage tier pizzas.
In Germany they bought up Hallo Pizza, which was so much better, both in quality and what they offered.
Also, all pizzas are fast food...

severien ,

Also, all pizzas are fast food…

No, if you sit down in a pizzeria, order a pizza, wait for it to be freshly made, then that’s no fast food.

DarkThoughts ,

lol
Do you think they serve frozen pizzas? Pizza is inherently fast food.

severien ,

Let’s check Wikipedia’s definition:

Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed for commercial resale, with a strong priority placed on speed of service.

That does not apply to a pizza made on your order in a sit-down pizzeria where you wait just as long as in other kinds of restaurants.

DarkThoughts ,

It does, because it's literally the same. A fast food service still rolls out the dough, adds the tomato sauce, cheese and other ingredients and throws it into the oven for a few minutes. The only difference is that a big delivery service that specializes on pizzas is that they prepare much larger quantities beforehand, as they can expect to use much more than a restaurant.

But since you're such a fan of Wikipedia, you might want to read the fast food article proper:

Examples of fast food (left to right, top to bottom): Cheeseburger, soft drink, french fries, pizza margherita, hot dog, fried chicken, submarine sandwich, and donuts.

The UK has adopted fast food from other cultures as well, such as pizza, doner kebab, and curry. More recently, healthier alternatives to conventional fast food have also emerged.

Common menu items at fast food outlets include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, hot dogs, and ice cream, though many fast food restaurants offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads.

etc.

severien ,

The only difference is that a big delivery service that specializes on pizzas is that they prepare much larger quantities beforehand

Which is the critical difference - “with a strong priority placed on speed of service”. If you don’t prepare it with a focus on speed, and prepare it in a slow way, serve the customer in a more normal slow setting, then it’s not “fast food”, because there’s nothing “fast” about it.

DarkThoughts ,

By that definition nothing is fast food.

severien ,

You’re getting onto something!

It’s not the type of food, it’s the form of preparation and consumption.

DarkThoughts ,

It's every food that can be quickly made.

severien ,

Like … salad. That’s fast food, even if you eat it in a fancy restaurant?

Cleverdawny ,

No food is inherently fast food. Since you’re not American, and we invented fast food, the term refers specifically to how fast and convenient it is to get the food.

Go through the drive through in McDonald’s and I can get a hamburger in less than three minutes from order to them handing me the bag. But if I order a hamburger from a sit down diner, it will take 30 minutes sometimes.

The hamburger from McDonald’s is fast food. The hamburger from the diner is not.

Ryan213 , in American Airlines sues Skiplagged, claiming cheap tickets are ‘classic bait and switch’
@Ryan213@lemmy.world avatar

I like how their reasoning is that someone could’ve used that empty seat for an actual emergency, or losing a luggage. Lol

They already got their money. They want even more money.

ShunkW ,

Won’t someone think of the shareholders please?

HopeOfTheGunblade ,
@HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social avatar

If there were an emergency, and the seat was empty just before door seal... Why wouldn't they put the emergency person in it? Having someone there who needed to travel would be a problem, having no one is not.

spongebue ,

That’s basically standby travel. Which is a thing for irregular operations (storms and such for missed flights) and someone trying to get on a same-day earlier flight, but generally you can’t book yourself as a standby passenger on a full flight from the get-go. So the flight wouldn’t even show up as an option when you search for it.

HopeOfTheGunblade ,
@HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social avatar

I had thought that overbooking was standard practice in the industry these days?

spongebue ,

It is, but it’s actually done pretty well that they usually don’t need to pull anyone off the plane. They also reduce how much they overbook by as departure time comes closer

Meowoem ,

Yeah pretending to care about the empty seat is totally ridiculous, they just know it sounds bad to say ‘we wanted more money from people for the first leg even though we can obviously still make enough profit to cover a whole extra flight and give a discount large enough to make all the extra hassel worthwhile for enough people that it’s worth addressing’

xkforce , (edited ) in Kellogg’s is going to war over Mexico’s nutrition label rules. A similar fight is coming to the U.S.

Kellogg would be rotating in his grave. The dude was OBSESSED with the healthfulness of cereal (or at least his weird version of it) and his company namesake basically peddles candy in cereal form to children.

fluxion ,

I’d be a god today if all those thousands of bowls of cereal I pounded down in my youth were actually healthy.

Dude thought that meat and flavorful food caused sexual desire and lead to masturbation. He was an anti-masturbation crusader and invented his breakfast cereal to help decrease sexual desire.

MicroWave OP , (edited ) in John Eastman is 2nd defendant to surrender in Georgia election interference case

Attorney John Eastman and co-defendant Scott Hall, two of the 18 co-defendants charged in the Georgia election interference case alongside former President Donald Trump, have been booked at the Fulton County Jail, according to the Fulton County Inmate Record Database.

Eastman is charged with nine counts, including two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree. The indictment names him as among those allegedly involved in a scheme to **solicit public officers to unlawfully appoint Georgia presidential electors. ** “He is going to trial, there will be no plea deal,” Eastman’s attorney told ABC News.

Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, is charged with seven counts, including two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud. He is among those accused of conspiring to commit election fraud in Coffee County.

It’s a cult and they all need to go to jail with him. They can share their own prison.

thisisawayoflife , in Female soldiers in Army special operations face rampant sexism and harassment, military report says

Get rid of the GI Bill, or at the very least, tie it to the draft. As in, you don’t get post service benefits unless there’s a draft going on. Otherwise you just volunteered.

Then, provide those same benefits we provided since 1944 to the legal and medical professionals. Kids enter into service at 18-20 and come out as public defenders, nurses and doctors, where they are subject to working in poor areas to help the underserved.

So in those places "unhealthy" starts at a whooping 37% added sugar? By these standards, Coca Cola with a mere 9% added sugar probably counts as a healthy drink...

@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No, it does not start at 37%. That’s just the amount in fruit loops. The article even includes Coca-Cola.

Nioxic ,

Theres more sugar in orange juice, than cola. (Not much more)

tider06 ,

While true, the difference is natural sugar from the fruit vs refined sugar poured into a syrup and then mixed with carbonated water.

MisterD ,

Hint: fruit juice is liquid sugar too.

Orange juice was created to increase sales and use up unsellable oranges.

Cleverdawny , in Fukushima nuclear plant will start releasing treated radioactive water to sea as early as Thursday

Good! About damn time. Tritium isn’t dangerous when diluted in the ocean, which contains 4.5 BILLION TONS of uranium naturally.

electrogamerman , in Trump plans to turn himself in Thursday at Fulton County jail

This means he not longer can run for president, right?.. RIGHT!?

Son_of_dad ,

In the u.s if you’re a criminal you can’t work at McDonald’s, but you can be president

dx1 ,

There is the Disqualification Clause of the 14th amendment:

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

So, let’s see how indictment number, uh, whatever the insurrection one was, goes.
