I don’t know about y’all, but between food quality and food prices I’m basically vegetarian nowadays. (TikTok screencap)

AND THEN YOU COOK IT IN A FUCKING TEFLON PAN

You mean silicone?

And no, it's plastic. If they're cheap ones they're usually a wonderful combination of assorted plastics that happened to be at the Chinese recycling plant that day.

No, I actually know those kitchen tongs, they are silicone. Have you seen kitchen tongs that look exactly like those, and have felt them to be plastic? Unless you did, they are 100% silicone.

Also let's not forget that the authors of that study were off by a factor of 10: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/black-plastic

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah. Even with the amended study their recommendation is avoiding them like the plague as any amount of pthalates and fire retardants in your food is too much.

You know that exact pair?

You took this photo? I see black plastic ones often in shops. Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235276456186

You'll note that nylon is a type of plastic.

Further, cooking with silicone is also very likely bad for your health so this is a really odd argument.

The size of supermarket chicken breasts after you cook off all the water padding

[-] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

You gotta buy "air chilled" chicken. Water chilled chicken absorbs lots of extra water and shrinks like that.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 7 months ago

wtf are these. Why would you need to chill a chicken. Are these precooked, then quenched like a sword ?

Breast reduction surgery.

I don't know about y'all, but between food quality and food prices I'm basically anorexic nowadays. (meirl)

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that's basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.

It's dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I'm down for for sure).

Plant based diets are cheaper and healthier presuming you eat correctly.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 7 months ago

You should be put in food jail. That's food waste I cannot accept. A living being has been raised and slaughtered to accommodate you and you throw it away due to perceived funny ness? Where do you get your meat that that's even a thing and why do you keep shopping there? Either it is all good or it is rotten. "Fresh" Meat is not sufficiently dry and solid to separate good and bad bits.

The way lemmy comments go full snark in the meme comms (which is 90% of lemmy comms) deserves a psych research grant.

memes are shitposts, yet half the comments are "not a meme, not a shitpost, you're wrong!"

chill

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

I mean I don't think it's that deep. Can a joke not inspire conversation? Like, can a person not understand the levity, laugh, and then go "but really since you bring up the topic..."?

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social -1 points 7 months ago

Friend this is meme comment chain.

Sir, this is a Lemmy's.

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

While I entirely support stating "something was killed for this meme/video/tik-tok" we don't know that the other 95% of the chicken isn't off camera.

Amen. Lately we've started buying whole rotisserie chickens. There's so much meat! I make sure I scrape the neck, the ribs, get all the brown meat around the spine and inside the ribcage, get that liver, there's so much to eat. One chicken feeds the whole family of four, and then two people for lunch the next day. All for like 7 dollars.

Spine is so good for chicken stock

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Take all the bones and whatnot and freeze em. When you can, make a stock of those bones. So damn good.
