2 life pro tips in one meme!
(lemmy.world)
What is a union?
An arrangement where employees bargain collectively with their employer to have more leverage, usually collecting dues from members to help with things like strikes.
I think it's called a "sindicato" in Portuguese, though in English "syndicate" means something a bit different
I wish I could eat like this - not only for the cost effectiveness, but it'd be better for the environment than meat! Having IBD really sucks. I can only imagine how difficult it is in the US where the medical care is so expensive on top of everything else.
"Also, do you really NEED to sleep?"
Mmm, delicious advice duck ... is telling me to eat the rich?
Welp, who am I to question it's wisdom, must be the right thing to do.
That duck is looking pretty tasty right about now.
Hey if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!
Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering. I'm not one for hunting, but I keep debating going foraging since I live near mountains in Utah. Spend the day hiking in nice weather and end the day with food you normally wouldn't have? Sounds like a good day.
Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?
You're not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn't think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just "beans"
Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I'm eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.
Hey man if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!
Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering.
Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.
Rice amd beans is the most important thing on my region's diet. You just can't live without eating it at least once.
Serious question, if I live off just that, I end up feeling like absolute garbage. That's even with supplementing it with greens like spinach and some other veggies and vitamin supplements. What am I missing?
Like, macro-wise, I can replace meat and other things, but it doesn't seem to hit the same?
Every plant is trying to kill you. It doesn't want to be eaten. It especially doesn't want you to eat its seeds. We can detoxify most of the ones that people eat, but it costs
Eating the same plants over again can make you sick
You may not be as good at detoxifying those plants as the people who do well eating them
I know I'm a lot healthier with no plants in my diet than I have been with lots of plants
Would you care to elaborate on what you feel like when you try living on plants? What do you tend to eat? How long does it take before you start feeling like shit?
Judging by your last comment about it "not hitting the same" my initial thought is that the issue might not even be nutritional, possibly more psychological/subjective.
Get a blood test. You could have a micronutrient deficiency. It is common to develop either vitamin D, B or iron deficiencies when you cut meat since they just aren't as abundant outside of red meat and organ meat.
Don’t know what you’re missing because we don’t know everything you eat
Spinach gives iron so based off the information it’s not that

To be clear, if you're at all concerned about maintaining a food budget, even if it's $500/week the billionaire class is still your enemy.
To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.

Hell, even if you can easily afford way more than that, you are still closer to the person who can only afford $2 of food a day than a billionaire.
The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion

Is that diet OK for growing kids or just adults?
Not even all adults. That diet makes me fart constantly and feel suboptimal.
I have no idea. There is a decent variety of foods that are 1000 calories for a dollar, and maybe combining all of them together is enough variety. But I'm not a doctor.
More variety in your diet is likely to always be superior to less. That goes for both kids and adults. The trouble with younger kids is that deficiencies can impact their development and have more severe long term consequences, and they're also less capable of seeking out foods to fill that gap.
My mom basically starved so we could eat. I remember her giving me her food regularly. I Still only ate once a day even with her sacrifices. I expect I will be doing the same at this rate so I wanna do more for them if I cam.
If the option is you all not eating enough, and eating primarily cheap bulk foods, do pick the cheap bulk foods. With cheap seasonings and making your own tortillas, breads, and gravies, you can have a large variety using the same 20ish cheap base ingredients.
We are tortillas and rice all the time. Some days evey meal. Sure she upgraded it with veggies or added eggs but it's like I was born of rice, molded by it, I didn't know what a salad was until I was a man.
Read Marx, especially if you don't think you need to.
Unionization isn't enough, we need syndicalism. They're like Unions but armed, more organized, more willing to strike and sabotage, and unlike Unions which attempt to hold back the Capitalists Syndicates replace capitalism entirely. Remember, why demand the scraps of the capitalists when we can take the means of production and the complete value of our labor.
Pro life tip: Read theory, join your local socialist or anarchist organization, get involved, strike, sabotage, just make sure to organize
Syndicalism is nice, but without a solid analysis of Imperialism it risks taking on a Nationalist character if you're in the Imperial Core. Additionally, if you're in a de-industrialized nation like the United States, worker organization is more difficult along union lines, which is partially why Unions have historically struggled in the United States in recent years.
100% agree on reading theory and joining an org, just wanted to add some caveats.
"Hey won't this get us banned... oh right, ML!"
If they bring armed thugs to the strikes, only fair if strikers do as well. Negotiation only happens between parties on equal footing.

What about eating people's cats and allegedly ducks as well? Did you know thousands of pets are euthanized each year? That's all just wasted food.

Feel free to ask me questions on how to eat on a budget so you can keep your strength up while organizing against those that wish nothing more for you to work until the day you die and own nothing of consequence!
