    Why are adults still eating this crap? It’s going to cost you $6 now (including price drop) and thousands+ more because of health issues it’ll create in the future.

    Best thing inflation did was force me to learn how to bulk cook. I do take out and eat junk food a handful of times per year. My wallet is happy, and my bloodwork is looking good too.

      Because it’s a mix of sweet and salty, which scratches our instinctual desires.

      It has been a hobby and a passion for hundreds of millions of people going on 10,000 years.

        And fat. Sweet, salty, carbs, fat. Ding, ding, ding!

      I’m trying to lower my blood pressure, and cutting back on sodium isn’t really a problem for me — cause I’m probably already under 2G a day (I rarely eat processed/junk food, and I only use the bare minimum of salt)

      Now smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, and (unhealthy levels of) stress… that’s what’s killing me, literally. But at least my salt game is chill
