The power of hotdogs

Danny is running to Gotham to escape the GIW. As he’s running into an alleyway, he crashes into non other than condiment king who proceeds to attack and hits the GIW goons behind him. This absolutely terrifies them due to the fact that their prestigious white clothes will be stained. The fact that he has people running in terror gives Condiment king a giddy feeling so he proceeds to chase them around Gotham.

Thus starts Danny’s constant exploits of running to condiment king when he’s being chased and the rogue scarring the living daylights out of the GIW. They develop nightmares and Condiment king starts developing new concoctions that will specifically stain clothes and never come out. Mwa ha ha!

Eventually, Danny gets adopted by the rogue and becomes his sidekick. Now, when people learned that condiment king got a new sidekick, they laughed. Who in their right mind would want to mentor under him. They believed that this was some poor sob who was down on their luck and truly desperate. That or some weirdo like the ‘king’ himself.

But they didn’t understand.

They didn’t understand that they should never have let Danny Fenton (known as Phantom) become Condiment King’s sidekick.

Danny knows how to animate hotdogs and other foods to create an army. Danny knows intimately about the secret nasty burger sauce that is capable of powerful explosions of you heat it up. Danny has knowledge in the usage and how to build various weaponry designed to shoot or even be powered by green sludge (which can easily be replaced by ketchup, mustard, or relish).

And he hasn’t even shown Gotham his power-set yet. No one knows why he calls himself phantom. For all they know, he’s just a normal (terrifying) human.

Everyone blames the GIW for this mess.

i became a vegetarian at the start of the summer of this year not out of any particular guilt-driven or ethics reasons but because i felt like my relationship to food had become very stagnant and borderline disassociative, where i never thought about what i would eat and would rely on the same few easy things all the time, and i needed something to give me both structure and a forced reason to actually acknowledge the food that i ate.

and it has really worked. i'm trying a lot of new things all year, and finding new favorite foods (poblano peppers! heirloom tomatoes!), and as a home cook i have been seeking out and preparing new recipes like never before which has been very fulfilling for not just my diet but my creativity and my hobbyism. this lifestyle change has succeeded exactly how i hoped it would by forcing me to create a brand new relationship to food!

and although it wasn't my intention i do in fact feel less ambient environmental and ethical guilt about my part as a consumer in industrialized meat production (and obviously individual choice has significant material limits which i don't hold against anyone, but still).

and i just think this has been really cool and if you feel like you're in a similar spot with your relationship to food then maybe consider it, even as a short-term experiment

I have to say I do have a very specific immersion break when it comes to dating Barbs in game. I'm vegetarian and have been for 7+ years, and yet there's so many moments where Barbs either makes mc poultry dishes or shares them with him and every time I'm like wow I would NOT eat that.

THIS IS THE OLD VERSION OF THIS POST AND I ASK YOU NOT TO USE IT ANYMORE!! Please use this remake instead!

Scenario: You enter a mess hall. Despite being one hall it's visibly segregated into two sections that have separate food getting areas and it seems highly discouraged to take food from one side to the other. There are a number of occupied tables on each side and you see that the food very much corresponds to the species of that side's occupants. You, a human, realise you will have to pick one of the sides and stick with it for your lunch break, both consuming their food and experiencing their company. Luckily, you're not important enough for either choice to cause any trouble so it's truly up to your own preference.

Feel free to tag or comment your reasons!

Also, had a super lovely post-Christmas Christmas dinner with my fav cousin, her boyfriend and my aunt where we all met at my aunt's apartment while she was doing paperwork and then the three of us prepped and cooked dinner together. Afterwards we went to a light exhibition at a park.

i take some umbrage at the implication that vegetarian/health foods are gross and everyone is just forcing themselves to eat it. some of us like trail mix because dried cranberries and walnuts are yummy and crunchy ever think of that

Yo I have so many opinions about the "carnivore diet" and none of them are positive. Healthcare professionals will *sometimes* recommend a keto diet (extremely limited carb intake with high protein and fat) for a SHORT amount of time. You really don't want to do it for longer than a month, and even that is stretching it.

The thing about dietary fiber is that it helps your body regulate digestion. This doesn't just mean keeping things moving (as it's primarily associated with), it also can mean slowing things down, hence the diarrhea. And part of it slowing things down like that is also assisting with giving your body time to absorb nutrients and *moisture* out of the food.

One of the most critical things that carbs do for your body (besides just plain providing energy), is to provide the components needed for your body to digest protein. You could eat an entire cow's worth of meat but if your body is starved of carbs it's not going to be able to make use of any of that protein.

Another critical piece of information: your brain runs SOLELY on sugar/carbs. The only energy source your brain can use is sugars, which are broken down from carbohydrates. I believe there was mention of brain fog, that would be because they're starving their brains.

As for the heart palpitations and high blood pressure, I suspect those would be related to low magnesium. Meat doesn't contain a lot of magnesium, organ meats are generally the highest but most US Americans don't eat organ meats and I doubt these people are, and it is a little known but important nutrient for regulation of blood pressure. I know this because I get migraines and my neurologist suggested trying magnesium supplements which sometimes help to relax the muscles involved in migraines and assist in prevention. Well it turns out that my body is really sensitive to magnesium and it actually ended up dropping my blood pressure super low and slowing my heart rate waaay down, both in bad ways. So I can definitely see how not getting enough could have the opposite effect, tightening blood vessels, thereby increasing blood pressure and forcing the heart to work harder and faster to force blood through them.

So yeah, humans evolved as omnivores, though generally heavier on the fruit/veggie side of things because those are easier to gather, and our bodies aren't going to do well if we remove a bunch of our natural sources of nutrients.

i was staring in horrified fascination at a "carnivore diet" acc on instagram and the guys eyes are so bloodshot like dude you dont look okay

So, a post came across my dash / to my attention about diet and of course it's the meat-eaters vs. the vegans as usual. And it's got me to thinking about my place in it and how I'm just... a non-starter in the argument. In terms of vegetarianism and strict veganism, those who are "evangelistic" about it run into a full-stop with me and there are reasons why that have little to do with me trying to justify "carnism" in the greater whole and whatever. It has everything to do with "press me and I'll just self-identify as evil and call it a day." From a personal standpoint: Here is how I grew up. My father was a butcher. He worked as a retail butcher. Furthermore, I grew up in the country (specifically in the desert) - but in a neighborhood where it was quite common for people to raise their own meat and some of my earliest memories involve this. We had a pig that my parents let me name "Charlotte." She became bacon and while I don't remember it entirely, my father said that I came out to "help" (at 4 years old) when most little girls would have run away from that. I *do* have memories of helping him with our chickens (not that "helping" at that age was anything more than watching or maybe doing a little plucking). Later on, when my dad decided that he was tired of doing double-duty at work and at home and we just bought our meat, we continued to raise chickens for eggs. Sometimes one would get out of the pen and be mauled by our dogs or get into the neighbor's yard and get mauled by the neighbors' dogs and would be lingering away, running and hiding and slowly dying from infection. I was older then and was happy to help Dad catch the chickens and to hold a dying chicken still while he took the mercy-hatchet to its neck. (These were not eaten, of course). I had uncles and aunts who hunted. I never took it up (and kind of regret it, as venison and wild turkey are delicious). I DID take up fishing. I've looked my food in the face as I've put it into an ice-bath or taken the tip of a knife to ike jime... I tend to say a little prayer, but, you know, fish-blood is on my hands... And I always feel a part of nature when I'm catching my own food. Get some nice beef sometimes from a friend whose family has raised their own cattle... And, yeah, there was a time in my youth when I considered becoming a vegetarian. My sister drew me back with how good roasted turkey is. In other words, when answering the question of "If you had to kill your own meat, would you eat like you do now or would you become a vegetarian?" and how most people would choose the latter option? I'm one of those rare, one in a million people who *might* choose the former option. Although, I expect I'd eat meat more rarely if I had to go through all the steps of dealing with it myself, because raising / butchering is very difficult and annyoying - even my pro butcher-dad just gave it up after a while because he got sick of taking his work home with him.

All in all, while I do want livestock as a whole to be treated better, when it comes to the ethics of eating it at all? I was raised in a way that makes me chill with death and life-cycles. If I get my way with a natural burial, the worms will eat me one day.

Dinner should not be eaten this late. Eggs are repulsive to me. I mean I guess they always are, but i can usually ignore it. Now I'm too into the late night thought spirals to deal with it
