Been thinking about the fat phobia struggle thread from a few days ago. Came across this video which gave a lot of “food for thought” about the systemic causes of obesity today. Food is engineered to be highly addictive, tweaking the interaction with all senses. Capitalism is a driving reason for the competition over our stomachs. This should occupy a larger part of standard leftist discourse due to its ubiquity and its ease of appearing natural and inoffensive.

    Ironically I need to find some less spicy food to enjoy. I've got a very global palate. My only job ever has been cooking, I k ow what I'm doing big time but dammit I really like my food spicy and my tummy doesn't.

      Maybe switch fromchilli-based spices to mustards? Why destroy your digestive system when your respiratory system has it coming?

        It's the vinegar in play from either. I have a literal full mustard shelf on my fridge door. I am a huge mustard enthusiast. The real culprit is booze and coffee.
