I'm sorry to hear that. I recognize that any general statements meant for a "majority" audience can appear to be insensitive to those outside that "majority". That was not my intention and I regret that it appeared to be so.

I didn’t say it was a rule or commandment. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule, not always).

Also, an extreme low carb diet is not necessary to avoid diabetes, for most people.

Seaweed is looking super sus atm

Not seaweed in general, but "Processed eucheuma seaweed (thickener) (stabiliser) (gelling agent) emulsifier"

Pretty much, perhaps with the exception of bacon fat. And I say this as someone who is mostly vegan. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule).

Point taken, but the thing about adages is that they are generally truthful, simple guidelines, not 100% fail-proof rules. The point is that we should eat real, natural foods, not ultra-processed "products".

I'm sorry to hear of what happened to your family members though, that's truly regrettable! Sorry for your loss.

Again, the old adages to eat real foods, and only ingredients that your grandmother would have cooked with, ring true.

Did you see the body cam video released a couple of days ago of the Florida cop who went completely berserk when he heard an acorn hit his car? Definitely overly dramatic...

Cool, I hope it will be good!

Although I’m not surprised, it is interesting that the same big tech companies like Apple and Microsoft taking stances on being “environmentally conscious” while also ignoring forced obsoletion of old hardware.

That's purely greenwashing marketing hype, with Apple being the worst offender. Now Microsoft seems to be following in their footsteps, although they're still better in this regard than Apple.

Glad to hear. I used to use Tom's but unfortunately I couldn't find the SLS-free flavors locally anymore. I just checked their website and it seems they got rid of most of their SLS-free flavors.

Also, unfortunately, the brand I had been using, Jason, seems to be dropping most of their toothpastes. It took me a while to find a new, clean brand to use, but I think I finally found it: Burt's Bees. It seems to be one of the cleanest toothpastes I've ever seen, according to https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ and it's available at my local Target stores!
