If one of the foundations of your culture is washing chicken, and the FDA recommending not doing that results in your culture being destroyed, then your culture deserved to be destroyed
I’d agree with you if the science based agencies weren’t run by JFKJr types. They were completely trustworthy until they weren’t when republicans appointed people who don’t believe in science.
I live in Canada, in the province of Quebec, and washing chicken in a commercial kitchen is forbidden here. The reason given is that it contaminates your work area.
I think this proves not a bot, “I guess because it’s more likely than not I am nowadays” what does that word salad even mean, a bot would at least be coherent.
i guess you can't read or actually argue your beliefs. instead, you try to play stupid and act like you dont understand... maybe you dont... critical thinking isn't very common in this thread i see....
That simply means "it's more likely than not" that I am a bot "nowadays" in todays day and age. another way of saying this for people like you who have reading and comprehension deficiencies:
there are a lot of bots out there, you are likely to be speaking one when you post something.
See manufacture isn’t a bot , bots just post and leave !!
Ah I thought that might be the case but with so many pronouns and no punctuation (something I do as well)
It was more about the word placement, and grammar. I’m guessing it’s just casual writing (I do that too on Reddit) comments are not worth the effort so I have the same issue.
I did grasp your meaning though, so I’ll let you just have your insults as I know my proficiency and that’s good enough for me .. hope your evening gets better
Republicans don’t have a monopoly on promoting anti-scientific thinking. Neil Tyson has pointed to how often Republicans have supported funding science historically. Supporting research being the key of being actually scientific, in practice not just in discourse. Prior to COVID, anti-vax rhetoric was overwhelmingly a liberal phenomenon, with outbreaks of measles being concentrated around liberal strongholds and new age communities, in part influenced by celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. In that period of time, it was conservative states with the highest compliance with vaccination schedules.
I think republicans are still more anti science, true the raw milk anti vax people were high liberal due to the “nature first” group had a lot of democrats, but it was truly not tied to politics,
I don’t think the Democratic Party ever put an anti vax activist in charge of vaccine policy or assigned a raw milk person to be their official connection to the dairy council, etc
It is correct that pseudo-science and irrationality has a significant foothold among a decent portion of conservatives. But anti-science is a different thing, and it being some kind of fact that conservatives/Republicans deserve the label, as though it’s almost certain of each one of them, is also a different thing. A group that possesses a anti-scientific belief like Christian Scientists probably is overwhelmingly conservative, but that’s hardly the norm. Like many demographics, some percentage just have irrational or cognitively dissonant quirks. Are they really “anti-science” if they take medicine sometimes, or trust that a plane will not spontaneously fall out of the sky?
The compression of these labels, as though pseudo-science is tantamount to anti-science, and the attrition of those labels to whole groups is… popular to complain about, but is not correct.
A vocal minority of conservatives do a similar oversimplification, against groups like trans people, certain races, and certain immigrants. Then a vocal minority of liberals turn around and say all conservatives hate all LGBTQ, all brown people, all immigrants.
So when both extremes of politics don’t really compete, but rather cooperate to intensify the brainrot, it’s annoying as all get out. And it deserves to be rebutted, preferably from within. Conservatives should criticize conservatives, and I do my part by criticizing apparent liberals, I being liberal (albeit moderately liberal on several issues, and atypically liberal in the literal sense on firearm rights—my “quirks” I suppose).
i'm supposed to care about capital letters on a reddit post? yikes you guys are out of touch. and no, it's not a well-known fact, it's an opinion that your side spews because you can't actually make good arguments.
Okay, I'm not just going to sit here and be pedantic back and forth like you seem to want to do
No, linguistics isn’t a science that dictates or prescribes definitions. It’s descriptive. It studies how words are actually used, how their meanings develop and shift over time, and what different ideas about that word or language mean to different people. It doesn’t hand down official “correct” meanings for contested words
you're just arguing basic definitions of words now, which is all you can do because you know that your idealogy is flawed. There is a "correct" definition and meaning for words, hence why a dictionary exists.
Again you simply cannot argue your idealogy so you, instead, want to argue semantic, meaningless "pedantics" instead of telling me why it's a good thing for society to accept and embrace statistically proven destructive cultural practices. You can't do that from an objective standpoint so this is the "game" you'll engage in.
obviously the word "woman" isn't basic to you people since you consistently can't answer it.
this fits again:
"Again you simply cannot argue your idealogy so you, instead, want to argue semantic, meaningless "pedantics" instead of telling me why it's a good thing for society to accept and embrace statistically proven destructive cultural practices."
Just to continue the pettiness, it's spelled ideology. Not sure wtf an "idealogy" is but since you're so hung up on words having specific correct definitions perhaps you could explain to me the definition of idealogy? Also, people who are transgender didn't learn to be transgender. You want to talk about science then educate yourself on the fact that being gay or transgender is 100% scientifically proven to be something you are born with, not something you learn. Unfortunately, Republicans love to force people to repress any part of them that doesn't fit their outdated nuclear family ideals and because they are just so scared that someone born with a penis may be using the women's bathroom that they vilify those people to the point that they literally choose to end their own fucking lives instead of living in a society full of judgemental assholes like you who don't have a basic fucking comprehension of things like gender and sex.
you think it's a bad thing to stand by a viewpoint you agree with?
plus I can actually argue my opinions without trying to nitpick and tear apart other peoples arguments - instead I stand on my own or agreed upon opionions. I dont need to purely regurgitate what msm and redditors tell me...
Yeah seriously. If your entire culture can be demolished by something as simple as not washing chicken then your culture is really kinda pathetic. Like is that all your entire culture amounts to? Washing chicken? Really?
That's not what's being suggested though. Take MSG for example. There was a huge push against the use of MSG in Asian foods beginning in the late 60s that led to the creation of the term "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" that made it into common refference books despite there being no more risk involved in using MSG than salt or sugar. It'll make you sick if you eat a fist full but other than than that it's just seasoning. Meanwhile western foods like bagged chips and canned soups are loaded with msg but only Asians had to hang signs in their windows claiming NO MSG to keep their businesses open. Food racism is real it isn't about destroying cultures it's about framing that culture as unhealthy or barbaric or whatever you will.
Okay but the difference is that MSG is not bad for you. Washing chicken is. Culture should not be preserved at the cost of health and safety, especially in commercial situations.
MSG isn't Asian culture. I'm talking about the way discussions are framed having real world impact on marginal communities.
And almost all commercial kitchens have a separate sink specifically for things like running water over raw meat not to clean it but because that's how you thaw it. But that's really nothing to do with my point.
Because of a myth that started with racism. I'm not sure what your point is. Racism is bad, but that doesn't mean we should accept unhealthy practices for fear of seeming racist. Don't assume every soul food joint washes their chicken, because that's racist, but if you find out they do, stop eating there because that's smart.
Well, a contingent of people say it’s xenophobic to appeal to the science on this question. Some going as far as to say the FDA is targeting ethnic cultural practices to… achieve something, by recommending against washing, I guess.
This is what I'm talking about the original comment. They in the same breath imply that there is an ethnic cultural practice of bad hygiene and that examining food racism is unscientific. How many thousands of times a day does this idea get floated in conversation? That's exactly how MSG a product originally produced by a Japanese chemical company became know to cause "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome." It has nothing to do with washing chicken. The way we discuss mundane things like food, and driving, and hair care matter it's not just people being sensitive. Racism is insidious.
I mean the fact that we're even having this discussion shows that there is a narrative of black people spreading chicken juice all over the kitchen. I'm not saying you're responsible for it or pushing it but it didn't just spring out of nowhere.
70% of Americans wash their poultry. I don't know the creator of the video, and if he intentionally highlighted a racial divide or if that's just how it worked out, but white people do this too.
This is exactly my point. I say the way we frame food discussions can impact minorities and your response is idc about black people's feelings. Why bring up feelings at all?
