Not that simple. They love carbs. Yet, not just any simple carb like starches or sugars but a specific, complex carbohydrate: cellulose, i.e. fiber, which they break down into sugars that our body can use.

So only brown rice, whole wheat bread, and the skin of potatoes. Potatoes are actually bad for your gut because they are so high in starches.

Otherwise, they love nuts and greens. Ya know, other foods that are high in fiber content.

Gastroenterology and nutritional science is complicated, yo. Who knows what could be causing it. Unfortunately getting the tests to figure it out is timely and, for some, prohibitively expensive.

K.Flay mentioned. Hell yea.

Same.

I’m almost positive that decades of poverty meals with almost zero nutritional value has decimated my gut microbiome.

Why would I sell a gear for less than I paid for the metal I made it from

This right here is the entire flaw of monetary based economics. It always comes down to the profit incentive which drives people towards individualist, selfish behavior instead of thinking about the actual material efficiency or benefits.

but you still need to assure a living wage

This assumes that a “wage” is necessary and not a handicap put in place to force the masses to have to pay for access to necessities from an owning class who only serves to hoard resources for the purposes of selling it back for profit. People only need a wage because the owning class relegates necessities behind their system of private ownership and require payment before they allow people access to what should already be communal property.

do require monetary recompensation if the task is not pleasant by itself

People were doing unpleasant necessities for hundreds of thousands of years before money was even a concept. People understand that things need to be done if things are to exist. People like feeling useful in their community. So long as they are respected and provided for, they are more likely to be willing to labor for the sake of the community because they find fulfillment in hard work. Sure not everyone will, many would like to specialize in less physical labor, but there are more than enough who swear by “an honest day’s work”.

You still limit yourself by thinking these systems are immutable facts of life and not societal norms that can be changed.

“expensive”

How? In what terms?

Because during my studies in conservation, the only barrier of “expensive” is monetary cost which is entirely societal systems of arbitrary monetary value which has nothing to do with the actual material or labor costs.

Is it actually a burden on society or simply a burden on the interests of private industry?

Miss me with this “capitalist realism” take. Money doesn’t make things happen. We can restructure our economic system to not be in a stranglehold of arbitrary monetary value. In our current system that conflates monetary value with material value yes, things are expensive due to whims, specifically the whims of the owning class.

There are other incentives for why people labor than just getting paid.

Things are only “expensive” because of our arbitrarily designed system of economics. Money is fake. We can change the rules to fit material reality.

We don’t need the science to become viable, we need to change our rules of society to make the science accessible.

Don’t see any reasons why it can’t and plenty of reasons why it should.

If the problem is economic in nature then the solution is to change the system of economics until it fits material reality, not wait until material reality can fit into our arbitrary system of economics. I’m so sick of “economically viable” being the limiting factor to societal progress.

Bro was running on fumes 💨

It is sad how much people underestimate just how insidious businesses can be when it comes to manipulation of consumers. If it isn’t explicitly illegal and easily enforceable, then it is a safe bet to assume that those who sit at the top are going to use it to its fullest extent in the pursuit of profit.

Just in case, for the non-Americans from regions that do not have the specific brand, the sub name is in reference to prepackaged “Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice” which is used in this specific mushroom growing tek.

The problem is that people are not exercising their political power to the fullest extent.

Going to a demonstration where people are just standing around and voice their concerns doesn’t actually exert any legitimate political power. It is toothless. Failure to listen to demands doesn’t hold any consequences for them or threaten their control. They know we will all still have to go home and participate in the system that they control and gives them their power over us.

Protests of the past worked because the people stopped listening to their authority and threatened to take back control for themselves. That took monumental efforts of organizing to allow people to exert their own political power over their labor in order to put a wrench into the gears of the system.

The point of a protest is for, the reason it worked in the past was due to, people taking a stand to say “change this system to better benefit us or we are going to change it without you”

It’s time to start changing.

This country is so fucking stupid and brainwashed.

The establishment has spent the last century doing everything in its power to control the narrative around the Civil Rights Movement (and, even though not mentioned, the Labor Movement before it) into this idealized “peaceful revolution”, making sure to erase any mentions of the effective methods which were able to buckle the system and force it to listen to demands from our education.

This article explains exactly why and proves that they were effective in their efforts. Now, when we need to do the same thing as our forefathers, no one knows what we need to do, and insist on copying half measures without understanding the full picture of why those methods worked in the first place. People have this idealized vision of that time period; a vision that was tailor made to ensure compliance and that they be wary of those who actually know the truth and advocate for effective methods of protest or alternatives.

And the reason we still use CO2 slaughter instead of something like Nitrogen is because… They already have machines built for CO2 and just don’t want to pay the cost of changing practices.

Pure greed and laziness.

That’s the point of the second half of my comment.

Clickbait popsci sites are called “secondary sources”.

There is only so much “dumbing down” you can do to scientific research about topics until you lose all contextual nuance or become too long winded for a layperson to understand without being overloaded with information.

Then there is the issue with secondary and tertiary sources using simple language that causes confusion because it lacks the contextual nuance necessary to convey the correct interpretation.

Eh, mostly not the scientists’ fault but the media sensationalizing the data in secondary and tertiary sources.

And, as you said, general ignorance of how science works internally. That is a problem with education though, again not the fault of the scientists.

Of course it isn’t but you are the one who said that it was ridiculous that we haven’t embraced it.

It isn’t ridiculous. It’s actually pretty expected of the society we have built to be against it. There are perfectly explainable reasons why we have yet to embrace it.

I don’t say this to tell you it shouldn’t change. I’m saying this to specifically highlight the things we need to change so that no one will be forced into doing it.

People do need to do what’s best, so we should probably fix things so that being forced to use office work as a replacement for a social life isn’t the best option people have available to them.
