Glad some people do this right. Though I definitely struggle with this sometimes. Exercise, helps me beat this sometimes, but that usually requires a specific amount of effort for that.

Imagine rain flowing down a mountain. It does not flow in just one channel. There are many channels that branch off and form ponds or even lakes. So it is with our wanderings in space and time that have brought us together in the Devuan pond. It sustains a very unique collection of individuals the likes of which I have not encountered elsewhere in over 8 decades of searching . . .

So I suspected that there was something in this!

My forum experience dates back to 2005, and when I came here I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly spirit and mood of the forum. Of course this is the merit of the administrators.

This is not meant as petty sycophancy, but rather “what needs to be said must be said.”

There is an opinion that all our illnesses begin from our brain. From this, the result will be determined by our thoughts while eating, by how we look at it.

This tidbit of wisdom gifted to me many decades ago by a Burmese monk:

" Maybe you are what you eat but you become what you think."

Long ago, I stopped putting seasonings on vegetables. My taste palate eventually changed. Now, I enjoy the taste(s) of the actual vegetables themselves instead of covering them with seasonings...

...on the rare occasions that I don't eat just a salad.

...and I smile.

If you were initially determined that this is harmful, then the result will be...
“Everything must be done with a smile” - impressions of the rules in a Buddhist monastery of one of the Western travelers.
This is after he brought two heaps of water while climbing a rock, and his mentor told him that he had to repeat it, but with a smile.

I'm a wild man!!!

In general, I can usually tell if something has been plowed over, under, and in-between with hormones, pesticides, steroids, salt-water injections, etc...despite them claiming that certain "items" have been bred to make larger "items" for consumption.

Just knowing that certain meats and produce have been "bred" (to produce larger quantities) makes me skeptical to trust any of those fools foods.

...but that's just me.

I'll take a brown egg over a white one any day.

EDIT: Sorry, I should have said, "Saline injections" instead of "salt-water injections" so I would'a sounded more professional n'stuff...

Btw, I probably should re-read the code of conduct, I sometimes forget... as I emailed you.

Anyway, that's off-topic even for this off-topic thread, so I'll shut up now 🤐

Also, I don't live in the US so the situation I describe may not necessarily apply there. There is a world outside of the US, believe it or not. 😉
