  • Assuming you're genuinely uninformed and confused, trans women do not have any advantages over cis women if they've been on HRT. The lack of testosterone affects the body dramatically. You can see evidence of this in the fact that trans women aren't dominating any of the competitions which have allowed them.

    Furthermore, sports were never fair in the first place. Some people are more naturally gifted in various areas than others. There are actually cis female athletes who have been forced to medically lower their natural testosterone levels in the name of fairness, and that's some Harrison Bergeron shit.

  • you are thinking in terms of people getting the best for their money instead of people being starved and trying to make a dollar last.

    I'm not, actually. When I say "in bulk" I don't mean a 20kg sack. 500g of rice or dry legumes goes a long way for a low price.

    When we were starving we mostly got whatever was on sale or short-dated, so we ate different things all the time out of necessity, but dry goods were always reliable, which is why I asked about them.

  • I personally think free-range farming in a non-harmful way is great, but you should still consider that the chicken is incapable of consenting. Your relationship with any confined animal is inherently a slave/master one, and I understand why some people object to that. We're keeping the animal comfortable and extending their lifespan, but we're also robbing them of agency, and I feel like that's something worth thinking about.

  • Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the problem, but aren't foods like beans and rice which can be ordered in bulk online a good solution for people stuck in food deserts? I would think that anything with a long shelf life would be superior to perishables. (American eggs have to be refrigerated, right?)

  • I'm actually pissed off. Look at Miss Fancy over here with her tuna and almonds. If they can't afford rice, why don't they just eat beef??

    Besides the other stuff you said, obesity is extremely common, as is being underweight with regard to muscle mass. Getting 15-20% of your daily calories from protein helps curb snacking and increases the success of a diet. Protein bars and shakes are also excellent substitutes for candy bars and milkshakes for those of us who can't quite drop junk food entirely, just like swapping to diet soda.

    Someone more knowledgeable can correct me, but I believe RDA values are a minimum, not a goal.
