RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Yea due to all of the gum they add to it. Not the best thing for your stomach. It doesn’t exactly represent “great value”.
I mean, pesticides, preservatives, and shelf-stabilizers aren't bad. They're good. It really just depends on what you're using to do those things. A lot of the time additives are harmless. Ice cream stabilizer? Harmless, serves its purpose well. Soy filler in your frozen beef burrito? Harmless cheapening additive, and it's still food.
I know corporations suck, I know that they do all sorts of dirty tricks and get away with them. But I really dislike the demonization of food— which is also a kind of ignorance that many food labels use to sell you their bullshit.
