I feel like some conspiracy theorist when I talk about this.

We're 100% being fed poison, CEOs don't even eat the shit they peddle. Everything is to make money, make you sick to sell you something to make you better. Eating the EXACT same shit in a country like Italy is worlds different, you don't get bloated, you don't get the same options even. I never even saw Pepsi products, probably banned. Pasta, pizza, gelato, daily, no bloat, no laziness, no negatives.

Crazy what America allows its people to consume knowing it's killing and making us dumber. All in the name of money. I hate this place.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

They have pepsi in Italy. There are some differences in what is allowed in American food vs European food but none of them would explain bloating or laziness. You may have some digestive issues because I don't get those symptoms when eating American pasta or pizza unless I eat way too much.

[–] porkloin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

A lot of Americans cite foreign food as being “better” and note how much better they feel while traveling. The average American also probably walks 10-20x more while on a European vacation than they do at home. I don’t think it’s the food

[–] fleebleneeble@reddthat.com 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

From living abroad it's both. The food is better outside the US in terms of quality, and you tend to walk more outside the US as it's a car hellscape here.

[–] porkloin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I believe that. The way we are subtly encouraged to live as Americans is deeply unhealthy. I just assume that a little more exercise and steps probably has a more immediate effect than the food, but I’m sure it’s complicated

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Happened to the wife and I've seen it a lot in videos. I think it's how the pasta and dough is made, something with the gluten and quality.

I don't doubt there is Pepsi, I only saw coke, coke zero sugar, Fanta and a few others though.

I don't really trust ai responses, but I'm not crazy, there is a big difference in European food quality vs the shit they put in food in usa.

There are thousands of videos on YouTube, probably more, getting into details, I can't find the specific one I saw a few weeks ago. It felt crazy, but it's a drastic difference.

This is only one guys story, but I believe him being able to eat stuff he normally couldn't and not get IBS - https://youtu.be/xvIltQicFTU

"What is this witchcraft?!? I don't feel like shit, I'm sleeping better, and I have a bunch more energy? Must be the food." - American on vacation suddenly walking miles a day vs walking maybe 100 - 200 yards a day normally.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The sugar in almost everything here would definitely account for the laziness and attention issues. Makes folks easier to control

Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt

Uhh, plant-based milks are not what you replace milk with for nutritional reasons. That's what seeds and greens are for.

Plant-based milks are what you replace dairy with for culinary reasons. And don't expect it to be the same, just find what's good in its own way.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Gullible idiots popularizing plant milks is great for people with dairy allergies. Allergen-free foods mostly cost substantially more than the stuff they're replacing, so mass adoption lowers the prices and broadens availability. Additionally, different plant milks taste pretty different and you generally want to use different ones for different things. For example, coconut milk is tasty in desert recipes but not so much in mashed potatoes or sauces, whereas pea milk is great for those.

Source: my fiance is a chef with like 9 different food allergies, including dairy.

Silly pee isn't milk

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Oat milk is the creamiest dairy alternative for tea and coffee. It's pretty great but does have a strong flavour that might not be appreciated by people with a more complicated palate than me.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oat milk is the fucking bomb for making pancakes and regular cakes.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I never considered that... But it sounds awesome. Thank you. Truly thank you

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Personally I prefer soy milk in my coffee vs oat milk. It's got a subtle taste and the creaminess is closer to regular milk while only being slightly more creamy. Also goes well in overnight oats. (I've tried oat milk in my overnight oats, it was a bit much IMO lol)

Barley milk is also damn good in coffee but also stupid expensive. I haven't tried it in overnight oats though as last time I bought it it was like 4x the cost of soy milk. (I've only bought it once)

But that's the cool part, we've got so many options that everyone can have their preferred combo.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Interesting. I recently tried soy milk in my coffee and it had 0 body to it at all. Very watery. Perhaps not all soy milk is the same though. I guess I need to try a few different places

My nuclear family group chat is discussing gut health and diet. I am very tempted to post this in there.

what's wrong with normal milk?

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 15 points 17 hours ago (6 children)
[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It’s a no win situation. Either you’re a ruthless BigAg megacorp treating a living being like a machine for financial gain, or you’re an independent farmer who’s built a relationship with your cow by looking her in the eye each time you reach down with a slow, firm, gentle hand. One’s cruel, one’s unusual.

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

I guess not abusing an animal is a win situation.

Comes from cows not angels

As a human, normal milk for me comes from human titties.

most of the world is allergic to milk, also breeding and killing cows contributes to global warming and animal torture

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 21 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

most of the world is allergic to milk,

I'm going to need to see some sources to back up that claim.

Edit: this seems to say less than 0,5% of adult population is allergic to milk. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1939455122000229

Lactose intolerance is more common.

Experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world’s population has lactose malabsorption.1

https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/lactose-intolerance/definition-facts

But that's far from allergy. Allergies are more severe than just bloating, diarrhea and gas.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 10 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Yeah I guess that's what they meant.

Human breast milk also has lactose.
