SYSCO - It's not people but you'll wish it was
I want to know what gives all their ingredients that distinctive sysco taste. I know it must be bad for you in some way.
American institutional food - schools, hospitals, etc - is some of the foulest muck that anyone has ever had the gall to call food.
The first time I saw american hospital food my sick partner had to calm me down and explain that it's normal. I was ready to take her to a different hospital, thinking that no one willing to serve five wet sponges and call it a burger could possibly care for a fellow human's wellbeing.
Wait till you find out that they won't let you sleep. That'll really burn your britches.
"Whole grain is a term used by capitalists to deceive people. The skin of grains is called bran. It was previously fed to pigs, but now it is sold to humans at a higher price."
I would say it is still fed to pigs honestly.
Apart from that, whole grain products are in fact more healthy.
apart from having a higher glycemic index than white sugar and being entirely non-essential, sure ...
lol it’s a lost cause. Americans literally, fundamentally cannot understand that they get fed pig slop while the entire rest of the developed world has delicious healthy food.
Americans that go on vacation universally rave about how much healthier they feel and how good the food was, for every country they visit. They never make the connection.
And the funniest bit?
There’s a red note creator that just makes huge slop piles to feed pigs and it’s literally better than what Americans eat.
it is easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled
To be fair, the quality will definitely vary from school to school and location to location.
None of the schools I went to had bad food or food anywhere near as depressing looking. In fact, the only thing I could complain about is when they changed the goddamn granola breakfast rectangle bar things I really liked in elementary school to something else. That, or how greasy the pizza was in middle/high school.
I grew up with them and am repulsed by them. Japan definitely does it better (as I'm sure many countries do, but I only have experience with the two).
