New research shows that rainwater in most locations on Earth contains levels of chemicals that "greatly exceed" safety levels.

    Jesus and then even before that you had the freaking pork board of the midwest putting funding into making sure bacon was on fucking everything in the 1970s. It's like how cereal companies warped the american breakfast that my own parents get weird feelings when I advocate eating breakfasts from other cultures that contain vegetables in them (like fucking shakshuka or breakfast lentils). The American diet is a fucking Walmart aisle...

      The main thing I took away from living in Japan was that their breakfasts are more gooder. Fermented soybeans, miso soup, vegetable porridge, eggs, fruit, maybe a bit of grilled fish, served with jasmine tea. It's as healthy as it is filling. When I catch flak for cooking that in the US, I just point out the difference between elderly Americans I've worked with and elderly Ryukyu I've seen. There's like a ten or twenty year difference in their capabilities at the same age.

        I love eating vegetables at breakfast, but yeah, I even feel weird cooking veggies due to propaganda.

        Maybe potatoes are ok, but definitely nothing a color other than beige

        I fucking love Natto, it's also likely a reason that CVD is low in Japan since it is a thrombolytic. I've also fallen in love with indian curries as a means to break into good veggie dishes.
