I’ve met people who will actually argue against this (and I suggest just blocking anyone who does) but if your choice is between going hungry and getting fast food or snack food….PLEASE JUST FEED YOURSELF. No food is actually bad enough that it’s better to skip eating entirely. Malnutrition is more dangerous, more immediately, and more long-term than any consequences of eating a damn twinkie or a cheeseburger.
Continuing on from that thought but book!Boromir really is the common sense filter for the fellowship. The aggressively un-mystical one in this mish mash of wizards and prophetic kings and elves and poetic dwarves and the like. ‘I dont know about kings but if you’re gonna help with the war then great’ ‘Its cold on the mountains we should take firewood’ ‘if I look at Moria on a map it’s just giant bolded letters saying IT’S A TRAP!’ ‘why didn’t you tell usbefore that you didn’t know the password Gandalf!!’‘I’m literally just trying to get home so of course I’m going to keep going’ like he really is the Patrick Dempsey from Enchanted of this story.
ah i know this is obvious advice but like: dont let your friends vaguepost about you. its disrespectful and passive aggressive and makes it a lot harder to facilitate safe discussions. also dont vaguepost about your friends thats childish
Re-reblog with some extra notes because a lot of people are just like ‘we’re all fucked/we’re gonna die’.
Listen, not all food is equally as contaminable. Some small notes are stay away from delicate greens because they grow on thre ground where the poop is but cannot stand up to rigorous washing OR cooking, which is why stuff like romaine lettuce and baby spinach is a problem.
All other veggies can and should be thoroughly washed, and if you eat a lot of raw veg and want to be safe- cook it. People have shit on cooking food lately with all the raw vegan hype but guess why we humans started to do it? Two main reasons, one is increased nutrient absorption, the other is you don’t get the shits and die as often from cooked food.
Also, meat is not your friend right now. If you are used to eating meat, I would avoid it and switch to eggs, which are sealed and even if the outsides came from a chicken’s ass, the inside is safe. Fish also tends to be cleaner and is always less at risk of pathogens than farm meat but again, be careful.
This is survivable, if it wasn’t there’d be no point to warning you. Y'all will not survive what’s coming if you see every bit of news as proof of your doom.
Forewarned is forearmed. Be safe, be sharp, be helpful.
im stupid™ but,,why are we avoiding meat? you can cook out the Nasty Stuff™, right?
Meat is incredibly susceptible to contamination and can easily transmit food-borne illness even when well-cooked. Sometimes meat simply isn’t fully cooked when people think it is. Cross-contamination with other foods is also a common problem.
YA novel: what if you were sorted into an arbitrary category at birth and that defined your entire life and you were harshly punished for trying to break out of it
me in like 8th grade: wow this is really compelling and relatable for me. and theres no possible reason why
It’s almost like young adults relate to Young Adult literature! :p
it’s almost like it would be easier if your path in life was already set out for you and you didn’t have to worry about it
neither of these could be any further from the point of this post than they are
