once again in case you missed it.
You realize there is more to the cheese-price continuum than Kraft singles and sheep’s milk roquefort? Like, say, store brand? Deli cheese? It may be all someone can afford, but that does not make it worthwhile; it means there are people who can’t buy anything but this pressed-semen tasting bullshit, and that’s an issue. Moniquill says Kraft is widely available to low-income households, making it most likely their only option, but then says no one should be shamed for what they “choose” to put in their bodies. Which is it?
“Instead of refusing to call junk food junk we should be prioritizing how to get low income people decent fucking food.”
Word.
cheese.
cheese.
cheese.
cheese.
all of these are wonderful kinds of cheeses.
THIS HOWEVER IS AN UNHOLY LIE OF THE DEVIL.
Kraft is made of plastic anyway.
Yo, you guys know this post is pretty much a food-shaming and poverty-shaming circle jerk, right? That #5 on this list is a thing and that many, MANY people grow up with this as the only cheese available to them and develop a taste for it?
How about that processed cheese products have amazing melting characteristics:
And become velvety-smooth sauces without becoming stringy, separating, or curdling
Owing to their high moisture and fat content + emulsifiers.
How about we talk about the fact that they’re mild and creamy and make an ideal comfort food for many people because of this?
How about we talk about the fact that they are cheap as sin and thus readily available to a much wider section of society than some $82.23/2.75 lb French Sheep Milk Roquefort.
Food is not poison. Food is not poison. Food is not poison.
Kraft is not made of plastic. It’s made of Cheddar cheese, milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, calcium phosphate, sodium citrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid as a preservative, apocarotenal (color), annatto (color), enzymes, vitamin D3, cheese culture,
No you f*cking can't.: Western civilization...

Oh, yeah, western civilization sounds really bad to me… Oh,…
Currently Western civilization is the only successful model for a vibrant modern civilization. History lessons are interesting but let’s be real here.
Because we destroy the civilization of everyone else and impose ours.
No one else has had the chance to create a modern society because Westerners keep trying to implement our own everywhere.

George R.R. Martin on writing women
Really all the answer this stupid-ass question needs. Saw an article arguing that Harry Potter was a “feminist work” because Rowling wrote varied female characters. Come on.
George Stroumboulopoulos: There’s one thing that’s interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
George R.R. Martin: You know, I’ve always considered women to be people.
