You know, for so many white folks in this country claiming to be Christian, it's amazing how fast Christian names fell from favor in those same communities. They literally are just trying to out-white each other anymore. It's especially bad in the south.
 
When did we start this whole out-name your friend’s kids with a dumb name? Was it Beverly Hills 9021090192?

Or when Gwyneth “long torso and short legs” Paltrow named her replicant “Apple”?

I’m gonna sound like a jerk but I once “double-taked” when I saw a “Walmart mom” call out to her kid “Bella.”

Bella is short for Isabella. It's not a recent innovation.
 
I'd bet $100 that 99.9% of "Bella" names in the U.S. aren't actually short for "Isabella".
 
I know several Bellas in various age groups. They're all either Isabella or Ysabella :dunno

Weird that I know so many Bellas :laughing
 
At majority, each person should be permitted to assume a name they wish to be addressed by for the remainder of their lives.

Woulda' saved me attorney fees and my mother being pissed off at me when I set things right with my personal nomenclature. (She was fond of an obscure English actor in 1951 and my father wasn't in the room when forms got filled out.)

My parents once told me they considered naming me with an antiquated Portuguese name. It would have sucked. Happy with my name though sometimes people call me “Stan.”

I thought it was against some law to put anitbiotics into chicken.

Whenever I saw that label on chicken "We never use anitbiotics!!11!!!" I always felt "Well, duh, it's against the law".

I guess that was a mistaken viewpoint.

Edit: I guess they're illegal in California. I just don't know if that's just for poultry here, or for imported poultry as well. I also don't know if that mean "none ever", vs "none that affects humans" vs "none that are detectable at the time of slaughter" (i.e. they stop giving to to them before they process them for market).

I regularly consume Chicken McNuggets. If those don’t have massive amounts of antibiotics or other chemicals involved, I don’t know what does. Ain’t killed me yet.
 
The poultry producers figured out that the birds weighed more without antibiotics and they could save the med money. The birds they have to remove are for the feed production. Have a friend with some poultry houses who says the wild birds wont touch the commercial feed, which is likely made with every dead bird and byproduct. There is a Tyson feed plant down the road from my friend’s farm which plumes and rains down weird ashes all around,
reminiscent of a crematoria I once lived near. The ‘live’ caged chicken trucks en route to slaughter typically have many already dead ones, feet up. Very stinky. Saves time? McNuggets are food for the perennial toddler palate, cuz everyone knows Wendy’s are better, jk.
