There's tons of food though. We throw away like 40% of total production. I do generally keep a small stockpile of food just in case, comes in handy when it floods. But I have faith I can eventually replenish it.

Also I suspect most Americans can probably survive 3 months without food. Cause we fat.

Shame RMH isn't active here. I modded for their sister sub for a while till I got into a fight with another mod lol. I do believe they're right that psychiatry is broken and the drugs we make people take often don't help.

Can you reform America's eating habits within the year? Will you settle for perfectly good food that's been in a dumpster? Some may have to and some might even be resourceful enough to not die. Unfortunately many will not.

Worse, half of everyone is stupider than average - and most of the rest are really close to just average.

Faith won't save people.

I always forget people have "eating habits".

I always buy what's reduced and cook from that, different every week.

I guess most people have a set shop they do and set brands they feel they have to get but if they let themselves starve because of those habits then that's just weird.

This is general knowledge, no?

In the UK pink food colouring used to be called cochineal on the bottle rather than pink.

We shall see what the response to that post is, which isn't really an indicator of awareness.

I only ever heard about it once in a documentary.

I don't think about it that often.
