  • In a high cost of living area that’s like seven spicy potato soft tacos each!

    Not that the kids’ appetites will be driven by that small line of text on the menu board… (also this reminds me of people who have a no soda policy for the family so they can go out to eat and consistently save like three dollars a person)


    My favorite part of modern eating is gating the best deals behind a spyware app so presumably they can sell your data (to your health insurer or something, when the next CEO decides they need a boost)



  • In this view, I’d like to ask whether it is also psycho to buy dead animals in plastic from the grocery store, bring them home and cook and eat them.

    And if I may draw a parallel: “those benefactors could just donate money, why do they need a gala?“ It’s so much easier to part us from our money when we have some little reason or tangible thing (like donor gifts from public radio).

    For this big group who is all us humans, “everyone could …” prob can’t compete with “IF you do, then reward”.

    Heart: with you!

    Logical brain: “wait but the utilitarian perspective…! Minimize total suffering regardless of personal emotional discomfort!” :) (practical implication perhaps that campaign to get those hunters to keep donating but stop killing would be counterproductive to animals?? IDK how it’d pencil out!)
