Well, I believe that he couldn’t do it. Just not the explanation.

Is that even a concern for people with celiac disease? I know you’re not supposed to spend a lot of time in a bakery just because of airborne flour, but how much fucking gluten were they putting in detergent to begin with??

Leftmost one looks a little smaller than the rest, but don’t worry, I can take it off your hands for you. ;p

Immigrating to America to have a better life for you and your family isn’t a myth, it’s the lived experience for hundreds of millions of people

So is being deported for being brown, experiencing daily racism, and being frozen out of better paying jobs and positions.

Is ‘immigrants are successful in America’ really the story that is reflected in the lived experience of immigrants right now in America? Is it the most important story to tell during this political moment? Because where I live immigrants have had to stop attending school and work out of fear of being snatched up off the street.

Soon it will be a felony to release footage of data centers, just like it is with factory farms in the US.

2028 Democratic primary voters: if he does this to us, he’ll do it to you.

I don’t think anyone who has taken a history class is shocked by a US founder having genocidal intentions.

From your lips to god’s ears.

At least in the case of apples, cultivated fruits are mostly sucrose and fructose: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0308814614013995

Sucrose is itself 50% fructose.

You said what’s healthy but that is so incredibly subjective I don’t know why you’d even bother writing it

Maybe I’m fucking crazy but I’d say dietitians know enough to determine whether or not juice has a nutritional value similar to soda or not, ie, how healthy it is. Are you seriously so checked out that you think it’s not possible to tell if food is good to eat or not?

You could find a dietitian to say you shouldn’t eat basically everything.

Are you sure you aren’t confusing dietitians and nutritionists?

The sugar in soda contains fructose (it is in fact 50% fructose). Soda with HFCS isn’t actually that much higher in fructose than plain sugar soda, ironically; the ‘high’ just means ‘higher than white sugar’.

I doubt it, making juice is annoying and you have a lot of apple mush to deal with.

I’m not really advocating for anything other than pointing out that your argument is inconsistent. Is it about the sugar or not?

I literally just explained to you why the sugar in an apple is not identical to the sugar in a serving of apple juice, if you don’t want to acknowledge it I can’t make you.

What about grapes? They’re extremely high in sugar and relatively low in fiber.

Find me a dietitian that says grapes are bad for you 🤷‍♂️ Rules lawyering how biology works doesn’t actually work, the soda is still worse for you than fruit even if you go “ah ah ah, but you both have sugar!!”

I have no idea what you’re trying to advocate for here, but a dietitian isn’t going to tell you that apple juice and an apple are the same, because they’re not; a single serving of apple juice isn’t even made from a single apple. Fruit is healthy to eat, juice is not a health drink. If you’re taxing for health it makes sense to tax the unhealthy things and not the healthy ones.

Because apples aren’t apple juice, metabolically or nutritionally. The fiber slows down how fast you absorb the sugar and it’s good for your gut.

‘We should reduce sugar and sweetener consumption, let’s not tax this drink that’s almost pure sugar because it’s natural’ is asinine. Apple juice has virtually identical sugar content to a soda.

100% fruit juices would remain exempt

Why?? Shit’s sugar. You’re not getting most of the nutritional benefit from juice, all the fiber has been removed.

Wow. When I read the headline I thought it had to be an exaggeration or complaint about poor game quality. Nope, literally forgot to add it.

Wow, I’m suddenly okay with the government deporting someone after lying to their spouse about the benefits of enlistment (which until now included not deporting your fucking family members)!

-fucking morons

$4/gallon? Ooh la la, look at Mr. Cheap Gas Prices over here!
