They were originally designed for MRE's but the government backed out due to the packaging or something.

An official MRE requires at least 2 years before expiration or something.

My dad used to buy them until I made fun of his shitty diet for a few months. He's eating better now, so I guess it worked out well.

People knock things processed foods like SPAM which are actually a versatile ingredient and tasty when prepared the right way, but these things are the real deal bottom of the barrel. They are wretched salt bombs of no redeemable value other than for disaster relief, which I can say as someone who has a stack of them in the pantry for hurricane season:

I regret buying a CH stick. The buttons are not satisfying at all, and it doesn't twist so I need to also use pedals. I got their shitty pedals that are thoroughly unusable until I add inserts myself, because there's stupid heel cups in the way. No real life pilot uses their heel to press pedals. It's done with the front of the foot. I suspect they were made this way to force a specific angle so the shitty internal mechanisms don't bind as much. Don't buy CH.

>homegrown vegetables taste worse than big agri produce

You obviously haven't grown and eaten fresh picked. Big agri excels in producing the most vegetables from a given space as rapidly as possible with few blemishes by saturating with chemicals. Those vegetables are often warehoused for weeks at a time before they hit the shelves with consequent loss of nutrients and flavor. Hell even relatively perishable berries might be a week before reaching shelves. Homegrown always btfo industrial produce. Try growing some stuff in a 4x8 plot and stop sucking big agri/chemical titties.

CH builds their joysticks and pedals for industrial equipment, not fighter planes.
The PC peripherals market is a side business for them.

All internet forums are garbage fires, because people with their shit together aren't spending all day on them.

Some stuff is called gluten or glutinous just because it's sticky and stretchy. There's no gluten in the glutinous rice that becomes mochi.

Fucking hell. It's no coincidence Hormel sounds so much like "horrible".

I'd expect nothing more than a moon pie.

Thank you for posting these. They make me realize that being able to cook has raised my standard of living immeasurably.

Not only that, but almost every brand & fast food chain uses food science to cheat you out of quality/expensive ingredients.

No, but now I want to.

reee

I feel awful for the birds that lived and died to make this abomination. What a waste of life.

>>9098603

I agree.

>>9092731
I think it only looks so bad to most people because they aren't used to seeing stock that's full of gelatin and congealing.

>>9082456
Damn but that shit is pretty tasty. I'd buy more but kinda expensive where I live.

It's even more awful when you delineate each step of their wretched lives.

>>9098709
Yeah, though small correction- apparently only egg chickens are kept in cages, while broiler chickens are cram-packed into parasite-ridden sheds with no room to move (not that they'd be able to once they're older since they've been bread to have massive breasts). I don't think I'll be eating cheap chicken anymore...gotta at least make their lives count for something.

How do you feel about the possibility of "vat grown" meat, anon?

I work at Walmart stocking these frozen foods and I always wonder who even buys them. They look like shit.

>>9088201

>A McMansion is, kind of by definition, not overpriced.

lol what

no

>>9098720
I'm super pumped for it. Seems like a great way to remove all of the ethical/animal rights issues that meat causes. I really hope hippies/"playing god" anti-GMO types don't fuck this up for us and delay release. How about you?

>>9098993
It'd also do wonders for lessening the environmental impact of meat and create lucrative jobs in the US since sterile manufacturing environments tend to pay a lot better even for remedial labor.
