Kinda the same that I laugh that a chainsaw has a "warning do not attempt to stop blades with hands or genitals" sticker on it. Warnings about obvious things are funny. Stop being weirdly defensive. Have we posted the savoury donut food trend yet? I mean, they might be delicious but $20 is a little weird and fattening.

I know this is a few pages back but I remember bee pollen being really popular in the mid '90s, people would mainly mix it with yogurt. We had some in our house and I would take a spoonful with yogurt because I believed my parents when they said it was healthy. All it did was give me a stomach ache an hour later and I stopped after about a week. There's an episode of the X-Files where Mulder makes fun of Scully for putting bee pollen in her yogurt because he thinks it's so dumb and she's supposed to be Mrs. Science.

Palpek posted:Dude, I'm not saying it's real, the video itself is pretty clear about it. Does this mean we're at the high tide of "artisanal" products? They're much reach a point when too many mass-market companies are either pretending their stuff is artisanal or making fun of the artisanal crowd. I mean it's getting pretty ridiculous when McDonald's start making "artisanal" food. They tried release one here called the McMór, Mór being Irish for big, with local although mass produced ingredients like Ballymaloe Relish and Charleville Cheese. They had to remove the word artisan from it as that is a protected term for products made in limited quantities by skilled craftsmen on a not fully mechanised process.

The worst thing about food trends is whenever someone you know gets into one and is convinced they need to overhaul their entire life (and yours) to accomodate it. All that stuff you ate before is concentrated cancer! Chug this bottle of goop made with $50 shake mix for a meal instead.

Regarding Bee Pollen, I had fairly severe grass and pollen seasonal allergies growing up (this was right before Claritin and Zyrtec became widely available) and my grandfather suggested I try bee pollen supplements as it worked for him as kid. I tried it for a couple summers and it did seem to help, I was able to get by with a lot less benadryl. Anecdotal evidence meaning jack poo poo I just looked it up real quick and it seems it's mainly promoted by quacks and real medicine has major doubts to its efficacy. I guess I lucked out a bit too because it looks like it can also trigger deadly allergic reactions to some people. Seems kinda pointless now though with the myriad of very effective allergy meds with minimal side effects that exist these days. Couldn't imagine anyone eating it as food though, whenever I had a capsule break it always tasted like feet mixed with dirt.

TontoCorazon posted:"Activated almonds" is the most eye rolling loving thing I've ever heard of. Holy poo poo. The first time a woman started telling me about the benefits of 'activated nuts' and their many benefits for the digestion I had trouble keeping a straight face; it was like being dropped into a Carry On sketch. There is some science behind it, though: nuts and grains contain phytic acid, which can inhibit stomach enzymes and prevent some minerals from being absorbed. As nuts germinate, the phytic acid is broken down, so nuts that have started to germinate (by soaking them) and then been dried are theoretically more digestible. But almost certainly no more so than the much cheaper, conventionally heat-treated nuts anyone can buy in a supermarket, because the existence of phytic acid isn't hot news to food scientists. Overpriced or not, at least 'activated nuts' aren't literal poison, like he-shou-wu, the first listed ingredient of Moonjuice lady's 'Sex Dust': Lucrezia Borgia's Supplement Co. posted:A lusty adaptogen to ignite, excite and cultivate the sexual flow in both men and women. This ancient, warming elixir sends waves of sensitivity and power to all the right places, as it supports your primordial energy and vital essence. A holistic approach to deeply nourished sexual vigor, supports not only the bedroom flow but your highest creative potential. So, what's he-shou-wu? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopia_multiflora It's reputed to reverse hair graying, rejuvenate the body, cure constipation and make you horny. The one thing it's known to be good at, is inducing acute liver failure. Don't be afraid to double dose! As the Chinese case study in the wiki link pointed out, there's an excitingly large range of dose-sensitivity, plus a cumulative effect-- a Chinese hospital found liver failure in some people who'd been taking the stuff for months, and in others who'd used it for only a few days. Of their 25 patients, one needed a liver transplant, and one died of liver failure (they had previous liver damage from heavy drinking). The others all recovered...and generally expressed an enthusiasm for continuing with herbal treatments, in some cases, the same one that had landed them in hospital. I sincerely pity the doctors who have to deal with this. Actual thread content -- hate crimes against spaghetti bolognese:

Madkal posted:In regards to the butter/coffee thing, I once went to an Ethiopian place that made their own coffee (even had a ceremony and stuff) and it was delicious. I've paid that much for coffee before, but it's a frivolous indulgence and being like "I wonder what this $4-8 cup of coffee tastes like". Places that are into just doing good coffee and sourcing different and interesting kinds of beans and roasts are alright even if they are, like I said, indulgences. Serving coffee in martini glasses and having tasting flights looks dumb and anyone who gets to the point of "I don't drink any other kind of coffee except this $8 cup because I'm so sophisticated about coffee" is being silly. And lol at that coffee shop talking about how a pour over "evokes images of ancient Japanese tea ceremonies" it's loving pouring some water over ground up beans who cares. Though if the coffee you're drinking tastes bad enough to need butter in it you should drink better coffee  A make your own Americano? Dumb
