Comment on Just a reminder that one out of three calories produced in the US gets thrown away because of shit like this

  Yes it is.

  See? Easy when you don’t have to justify a position. Shall I make an appeal to authority to seal the toxicity?

    I don’t have to state the square root of seventeen million to say it’s not three.

    You came in hot, calling Americans fat for eating too much, and asserting with no evident rationale that this must be directly connected to businesses… having food left over. They eat so much there’s too much left. Uh huh.

      You

      Nah, wasn’t me. Read.

      fat for eating too much

      Wait, is anyone in the medical community contesting that? Besides, that’s a tangent to the comment that triggered you, I think.

      asserting with no evident rationale that this must be directly connected to businesses… having food left over

      Yes, I think the comment that irked you is assuming that the reader accepts the premises that the USA is overconsumptive, that this is due to an ideology of endless surplus, that the cancerlike imperative that line must go up is laying waste to everything, and that these thought patterns lead to bad decisions like OP is calling out.

      Not evident to you, I suppose… fair enough.

        Oh, so you’re just barging in to act smug about someone else’s brain fart. That’s worse. You know that’s worse, right?

        This ends here.
