  • I’m pretty much with you on this one. A lot of these people sound like they have terrible boundaries with their children. I get OP’s in a difficult situation, but I don’t get why they’re complaining about spending $30 on pizza when they agreed to pay that before it was even delivered. I’m not saying OP should’ve been like “you will eat what I say or you will go without dinner,” but really, as a parent you can give your child realistic options that don’t require you hiding in the garage for a couple hours. Ham sandwiches don’t smell, lots of foods don’t smell. If they “refuse,” they’re still going to want to eat later when they’re hungrier, and you make the same food choices available.

    Also a large deep dish pizza from Jet’s is like $18, and it’s really hard to overstate how much more food and how much better their pizza is. Domino’s is clearly preying on people who don’t know any better or who don’t have any other options.













  • If you think you have a deficiency, explain why to a doctor. A blood test to know for sure is simple. A doctor will know what kind of supplementation would best serve you, and there may be an underlying reason that can be treated to fix it.

    I didn’t say “no one should take supplements ever,” I said most people who take supplements are doing so unnecessarily, and you should do so under the supervision of a physician.


  • Are you finding yourself deficient in vitamin K based on some symptom you’re experiencing? Vitamin K is in soybeans, cashews, broccoli, chicken, grapes, blueberries, and a bunch of oils, including soybean, olive, and canola oils, and the list goes on and on. Vitamin K deficiency in adults is extremely rare.

    Like every other vitamin and mineral, eating average healthy (and even lots of unhealthy) foods will meet your RDA.


  • Vitamin and mineral supplements. You only need supplementation if you have a specific deficiency, and deficiencies are not extremely common. Most people who take supplements do not need them and are just peeing out all the extra things they’re putting in their bodies while shelling out ridiculous prices to “natural remedy” companies.

    If you think you have a deficiency, explain why to a doctor. A blood test to know for sure is simple.

  • Based on what did you come to the conclusion I think this website is Russian propaganda? I’m talking about you, and what you said, that the “US invaded Ukraine first.” It doesn’t say that anywhere here.

    Of fucking course mineral wealth is part of this conversation. Putin the as explicitly stated as much, and there’s a reason he went after oil-rich portions of Ukraine first. Russia is trying to take Ukraine’s mineral wealth away from its people, while ethnically cleansing the land it has taken. This is not “western propaganda,” Russia has admitted to removing Ukrainian civilians involuntarily into Russia and taking their children from them to be raised by Russians.

    I’m attuned to the study of Chomsky, Bernays, et al, and try to get information from a variety of worldwide sources. Being discerning about western bias in our own news media doesn’t mean you should reflexively believe whatever comes out of Russia, bro.
