every king in the Middle Ages: it’s really important that I don’t die because I don’t have an heir and if something were to happen to me, the whole kingdom would be thrown into civil war

every king in the Middle Ages: anyway time to go CHASE WILD BOARS WITH A POINTY STICK

Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

[bogleech]

So I’ve literally done this twice before and so have several other people but here are sources on all of these, most of them fairly recent academic studies or otherwise the most up-to-date I could find:

Organic food isn’t better for you: [1] [2] [3]

Tracing food industry slave labor: [1]

Healthier food is more expensive: [1] [2]

Saturated fats (i.e. “junk food”) still provide needed energy, aren’t as bad as people thought: [1] [2]

“Processed” isn’t synonymous with less healthy, because it means a lot of different things: [1]

“Chemicals” also means a lot of things and many food components are misunderstood by the general public: [1]

MSG is not harmful: [1] [2] [3]

GMO’s are not dangerous to eat: [400 sources collected here]

[accentnz]

“Processed” always gets me, it’s like yeah even that delicious homemade salsa you brought to the party is processed - the moment you took a knife to the tomatoes it underwent processing

[return-of-the-french]

Lots of bad takes here kings, don’t listen to this

how to tip

[trekkie-lover]

If you do this get the fuck off my blog

[snowconelostinthesauce]

Please understand that they gave a 33% tip, in cash instead of on a card, to increase the odds that the server could keep all of it.

[fatale-distraction]

What they mean by ‘taxation is theft’ is that servers are taxed on the ASSUMPTION that they will be tipped. If they don’t make those tips, they get taxed on them anyway. It is literally theft. By leaving cash and not writing it on the receipt, they’ve allowed the server the option of quietly slipping that 20 into their pocket and therefore not being taxed on it.

[southern-slayed]

Thank you…i wish more people knew this

[liluglydudefromdetroit]

So many people reblogging this or commented without understanding what this is. Y'all wanna be outraged so badly lol just relax!

[pavelow]

Any tips that get charged on your card are taxed, so if this guy left a $20 tip, that would get charged at least 8% on payroll tax, and depending on the night it’d be an additional 10-14% on income tax. On average if you tip $20 on your card the server gets $16 and the government gets the other 20% to bomb civilians in Yemen

[higher-order]

Some kids literally have no choice but to work because their family is desperately poor. Are you going to prevent a family from having that extra income because it gives you moral fuzzys?

a text i thought i would never recieve

[killjoyfag]

remember in 2010 when travie mccoy was a better hypothetical billionaire than all the real billionaires

[killjoyfag]

“I’d probably pull an angelina and brad pitt and adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had shit” here we see travie giving children better lives

“not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was” travie ending world hunger

“we in recession, but let me take a crack at it” travie fixing the economy

in summary travie mccoy is the only person i trust to be a responsible billionaire

i really think celebrity worship is so ugly like oiwjsdknfgedf i’m sorry i know it’s being spoon fed to us at every angle and its impossible to avoid it but like. chill. like obviously there is a difference between consuming media for pleasure in your free time and being obsessed with rich people who’ll never know you exist to the point where you’re writing a thesis about them on twitter. use your brain cells for other things queens
