Has anyone under the age of 35 actually watched Revenge Of The Nerds? It’s on AMC now and there’s so many highly negative stereotypes and themes I don’t understand how this movie isn’t canceled. The fact this is an iconic hit movie from the 80s makes me regret the 80s.

Things food snobs are wrong about

bogleech:

  • “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.

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]

For that music asks game: 2., 8., 18., and 38.!

2. I still buy physical media, but I haven’t bought a CD, tape or record since 2009. DVDs, sure, but that’s not what this is about. :)

8. Hmmm…I’ve never owned a Bad Religion album and I don’t really care for them, for the most part, but I think “A Walk” is a fine song. Propagandhi is a band I LOVE (Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes is maybe one of my favorite albums EVER) but I’m not incredibly on board with other bands that sound like them, honestly.

18. For some reason, the one in my head that WILL not go away, as far as song, is the Fatboy Slim remix of “Brimful of Asha” by the band Cornershop. It’s GREAT and a really happy song, which is something I’ve needed these past few weeks.

38. Ozzfest 1998. I was 16 and I was there to see Motorhead (I got Lemmy’s autograph), Megadeth (who were just okay). Tool were terrific. I was moved to the 2nd row for Sabbath’s set, which was GREAT until I realized I was in front of Geezer Butler’s bass amp with 850 lights in my face, so I got an immediate headache that I could not shake because it would immediately return the instant I opened my eyes. I am BUMMED to this day because I missed the Melvins. System of a Down were like, the 2nd band on the 2nd stage. They were like, 6 minutes from becoming everyone in my high school’s favorite band. I got aggressive sunburn and paid $6 for a cup of Sprite. My friend at the time (Aaron, fuckin’ dick) stood in line to get the 2nd stage opener’s album signed (Monster Voodoo Machine) JUST to tell them to their faces that they fucking sucked. Really mean, now that I think about it. They rolled with it, at least. “Aw, hey, that’s cool, man, everyone’s entitled to their opinion!”
