Aesop Poprock posted:I tried three separate burger-donut combinations cause they were so hyped up for a while and they're just awful. It doesn't go together at all and it's just an unpleasant experience all around. I have yet to try a burger with peanut butter but apparently that's legit not supposed to be as bad A local chain had a peanut butter jalapeño burger that was great, but it would be easy to overdo it on the PB I think.

So "bad" food = acidic, and "good" food = alkaline, even though that's not how pH works at all? Did they hope that just putting their product among a bunch of fruits and vegetables with a pseudo-scientific graph would confuse idiots into buying their product? yes

I think my favorite part of that stupid chart is that canned cola and cola served in a cup next to a hamburger are at different acidity levels.

Peanut and meat is a common combination in many, many cuisines around the world so it's not as if peanut butter on a burger is something that's going to be surprising or weird.

Completely worse. People in the old days didn't have the wonders of science and knowledge of stuff like germs causing disease, so a lot of old healthcare was extremely rough. People would try pretty much anything because they really didn't know better and really only had word of mouth to go on when it came to what worked and what didn't. Now? If you live in the modern world its easy to find out that a bunch of these miracle cures are bullshit. Its funny when you just laugh at people buying into the latest crazy diet fad but not so much when it comes to stuff like Chinese folk medicine, where rich assholes drive species extinct for their magic healing powers.

Someone should sell bottled urine. Say it's the diluted essence of Tibetan ponies or yaks or something, full of super minerals and essential amino acids from a diet rich in alpine grasses and water from natural river rocks, used as an ingredient in remote parts of Asia for centuries because it rejuvenates skin, boosts your immune system, etc. It'd be no less ridiculous and people would love the shock value and get to be sanctimoniously edgy to their dumb boring suburban friends.

Scathach posted:Welp time to put radium pills up our butts. Might as well with the rest of this woo woo bullshit. I will defend until the death the right of human beings to put almost anything (not including expandable foam!) up their butts, apart from radium: http://www.neatorama.com/2013/11/18/The-Strange-Fate-of-Eben-Byers/ Because he was the millionaire trailblazer for the thousands of ignored victims of 'phossy jaw', and because he took the radium 'cure' in an attempt to enhance his middle-aged vitality, rather than to earn a bare living, the horrible death of Eben Byers is usually reported as a historical curiosity. But well before he died, he understood his grotesque prognosis. And he still invited people to see exactly what had happened to him. So here's to you, Eben Byers, a man whose only known crime was to afford unlimited doses of quack 'cures'. At least once a year, I and many others raise a toast to you in pure, unadulterated beer. And thanks to Byers, I used to think that I couldn't be enraged by fake medicine any more, unless it was literally toxic. Hey, charcoal swill will harm nothing apart from the user's wallet, and it's relatively cheap. But...that Tibetan caterpillar yartsa/cordiceps fungus treatment is technically harmless, but clearly doing widespread societal damage everywhere it finds a market, simply because it's rare, and madly expensive. How to stop this madness? I just don't know.

The only way this stuff will stop is when a product actually does what they claim to do. Otherwise people are always going to buy these miracle products, forever chasing the dream of an impossible cure or low effort diet.

Well fixing the education system and teaching people how to be skeptical and think critically can help. But that's extremely naive and optimistic. Most people need to be saved from themselves.

Granted I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but if it actually did anything at all wouldn't drinking activated charcoal filter out/store nutrients as well as probably do terrible things to your butt? I'm guessing it just does nothing though.

It's used medically for treating certain types of poisoning. IIRC, it can block other medications from being absorbed properly, and you can end up with black poop, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.

"Artisan" honey. Guess what? All honey is made with the hands of tiny bees. Either it's all artisan or none of it is. $29 loving dollars plus $8 s&h for less than 17oz. https://food52.com/shop/products/39...NitbBoCD5Lw_wcB

I wonder how many hippies on meds aren't getting their doses because of using activated charcoal drinks. I did notice one said to be careful because it cant' discriminate between "toxins" and medicine. No mention of what it does to the nutrients you're careful diet is meant to provide. Scathach posted:"Artisan" honey. Guess what? All honey is made with the hands of tiny bees. Either it's all artisan or none of it is. Google artisan honey and read up on some stupid poo poo. Apparently artisan honey comes in varietal and mono-floral products, depending on whether the bees harvested from a single or blend of flowers. Now I'm no bee expert but they're not exactly controllable are they. How do these people know what flowers in the region they are selecting to collect pollen from. Outside of keeping a bee-hive in a green house with only selected plants can you really say exactly what flowers were used in the honey making process.

Generally yes. Apiarists sell honey as being a particular varietal, and then the manufacturer blends it to try and achieve a consistent colour and flavour (some varieties are much darker and/or stronger than others). We used to make Yellow Box and Blue Gum varietals until the general honey shortage made it impossible. Now it all just goes into the Mixed Blossom.

Yeah that much money for such a small amount of honey is just not cool. I can get a much larger jar of honey just as good (and with local flowers too!) without the stupid misleading hipster label from a farm down the street for $5-10.
