You're just describing American children raised in a poor diet. Beans are a staple food among not of the world population, including their children. They're super easy to prepare as well. Talking about the extremely fatty and unhealthy cheese like that is probably one of the many reasons the US is obese and unhealthy.

Cheese is not a healthy part of a diet in any quantity where it provides a significant protein of the person's protein needs.

I mean take it in context to who I replied to.

Ok, leave a note behind to explain to your children's family why they're in extreme poverty because some folks didn't want to gradually remove a subsidy in a controlled fashion. Again. You're just punishing more future people. But I guess since you don't have to meet them, you're ok with sacrificing their livelihood.

You will never get a UBI while large amounts are subsidizing specific industries. Wanna know where you can get that money though?

The thing is, I don't even think we disagree that much. You just are taking the one approach I advocated against (but still argued would be better than doing nothing; ie keeping the subsidies) and pretending that's my whole argument. I argued for gradual removal of subsidies to correct the market over time. You are advocating for a scenario that likely will never occur without some other large scale disaster or giant swing in public consciousness (UBI will never occur prior to ag having a market bubble pop.... one will never happen during our life, one has a chance to).

There is freedom of selection, but it's not a free market. We're literally discussing that in this post. Milk is substantially cheaper due to subsidies. Many people can't afford to simply purchase the more expensive one when a cheaper version is available. However, in a free market, it wouldn't be that much cheaper.

New products take time to surpass old products. You have false advertising and bad information floating around as truth and people think milk needs to be had to be healthy. It was so heavily advertised to boomers through millennials and even some of gen z, that I'm not surprised many have fallen for the marketing like you so heavily did.

For someone who gets paid hourly, I'm only willing to go so far with unpaid work past when I'm supposed to stop.

Fuck, I'll look at code I wrote like a month ago and be like, "what was I thinking?". So I try to fix it, run into some stupid issue and be like, "oh, right."

And this is why comments are useful on code who's purpose or reasoning isn't super obvious or even looks counter intuitive.

Many people have phones without those radios. If they want that feature, it's available to them right now via another device that is better suited to the task.

They're not getting downvotes for saying they don't taste the same. They're getting downvoted for speaking an entirely subjective opinion as some hard truth.

It's a bug. Whether it's Kbin, lemmy, or what, I don't know. But it's not rendering properly on Kbin at the very least.

Dairy milk is gross. I stopped drinking it nearly 15 years ago. I wasn't vegan or vegetarian at the time. It just tasted awful. I still would eat cheese than, but as a drink, dairy milk is plain awful. It's also terribly inefficient. It's not shelf stable. It has a short lifespan. It requires a lot of water and energy per cup than many others.

Do plant-based milks taste exactly like milk? No. But they don't have to.

And how is it better for us? Considering a majority of the world can't digest it is a big sign as to why plant based is better. Soy isn't the only option. There's almond, pea, banana, cashew and coconut to name a few.

It doesn't have to do with Star Trek. That's just the name of the Lemmy instance that uploaded it. The community it's uploaded to is comicstrips@lemmy.world.

Every day the reckoning will be worse than it would have been the day before. That's why it should be planned and not A) ripped off like a bandaid or B) have it fail on its own.

Right now the government is doing practically the opposite and reassuring and strengthening the bandaid despite the inevitable need for it to come off.

I get it. I'm also on board with UBI. Hell, I'm even a vegan that isn't calling for an immediate end to all subsidies for the ag industry even though a vast majority of it is in support of a practice that I believe to be highly unethical and horrendous. But I get that it can't change overnight, but that doesn't mean to keep kicking the can down the road either.

The human cost then will be more than the human cost now. It just will be "future" humans instead of the current ones so they so keep supporting it and making it someone else's problem.
