McRib

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.

I’d be insulted if it wasn’t true. Except the Wendy’s part. Though the spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy’s is top tier.

I go to Safeway and just kind of take a step back and look what’s in the cart before checking out. And I swear it’s as if you gave a little kid a credit card. There’s never anything healthy or grown up unless my wife put it on a list. Only crap missing is Lucky Charms and Fruit Roll Ups.

I believe the chicken is the most abused animal on the planet. Or maybe dairy cows. I stopped drinking milk after viewing the milk documentary and basically stopped eating beef (I cheat a little). I’m kind of “chickened out,” but like beef, will cheat a little. I eat chicken or beef once every 2-3 months. BUT, that doesn’t count a visit to Mick D because we all know they don’t use beef in their burgers lol

Safeworst… I shop there along with Wholepaycheck, TJ’s, Sprouts, etc. Every time I walk into Safeworst my first impression is they don’t have food here. All I see are boxes. You’ve reminded me I often look at what others buy when I’m in checkout. A shopper’s BMI correlates with what they’re buying.

PS - I may have to check out Wendy’s chicken sammie. Their chili is very good!

Rarely is there ever a box of anything in my shopping cart. Can’t think of anything right now but there’s probably something in a box occasionally. I don’t buy chips, cookies, cereal, frozen packages…
It all living food, fruits and vegetables being considered alive at that point according to some. Or just recently dead chicken and beef.

Something like 70% of humans are lactose intolerant to some degree. Cows' milk is for baby cows.

Don’t see a reason to eat that. For such a snack I’d prefer pulling a few leafs off a raw head of cabbage.

Odd to hail health food on a McRib thread so back to bad…milk products, which i avoid but love. Only species to drink milk into adulthood, only to drink the milk of another species. It is not your grandmother’s milk. Its the pasteurization and the lactose, esp if one is of indigenous or asian descent. Cooking denatures the proteins, kinda like how egg white changes when cooked. Except the milk proteins become more indigestible. Thus they took out the worst one and call it A2 milk. When granny took a hot cloth to clean the udder and a clean pail out there…But the apparatus in ag today with the tubes etc and the pooling of sources all day in a tanker requires boiling to kill the bugs. CA has legal raw Milk that must have fewer bugs than the cooked. We have the way but not the will, even to buy the costlier, cleaner, more digestible one. My milk truck driver friend said he has choices where to offload: best milk day goes to fresh cartons, milk a bit off to soft cheeses, way off to hard cheeses, stinkiest milk ever goes to powdered and straight to our babies (after mixed with Caro + chemical ‘vitamins’ )and all other baked goods. Rant over. Sorry for the threadjack but…it’s junk too
