bowmessage··on Lab-grown salmon hits the menu
Sure, "poison" is hyperbolic, but my point is: the continued approval of extremely unhealthy food additives (synthetic petroleum coloring, oils that are extracted with petroleum solvents, etc.) is making the population extremely unhealthy. These food additives disrupt hormones and make food addictive. They also help to improve shelf life, an added benefit for only the corporation profiting. None of this helps the consumer.

Have you looked up how seed oils are made? There’s very little squeezing and a lot of chemical spraying…

Spoiled meat that needs to be tossed != live fish that needs to be cooked.

Who cares about their health and still eats cereal in 2025?

Fallacious argument. Buy grass fed and grass finished.

Calling the rejection of a novel highly processed food replacement like this anti-scientific is comically illogical.

Horrible, right? I avoid those too.

They’re trying to cut corners and swindle inattentive buyers. That’s it.

Very few people realize what they’re actually eating, I fear.

Why are you defending corporations who thrive on the for-profit deception of consumers?
bowmessage··on Lab-grown salmon hits the menu
Well said.

I will never understand how so many defend the expeller-propelled and solvent laden oils as somehow pleasant and natural…

bowmessage··on Lab-grown salmon hits the menu
I have caught many salmon.

The parasites are part of the circle of life and are in no way gross to me.

Sorry you feel that way.

Which is exactly why I don’t buy farmed salmon.

Thank you for the point about “ingredient stuffing”. I had never considered this method of deceiving consumers and will be on the lookout for it.

Why doesn’t the FDA require explicit percentages be listed..?

Totally agree with you. I do not understand how this viewpoint upsets people.

> Why not actual collagen as a matrix, or maybe, say, gelatin? Why not ground-up shrimp as a colorant instead of beta carotent + lycopene? Why vegetable oils instead of animal fats?

Simple answer: they're cutting corners -- increasing shelf life, decreasing production costs, and overall increasing profits, like many of the big food corporations operating today.

Thank you for the link. Canola and sunflower oils, soy, and "natural flavors". Definitely skipping this one.

I wish they'd just sell the fish cells, alone. Would love to try that.

Please don't lump me (GP) into "them". I think this is also of grave concern.

From https://www.wildtypefoods.com/our-salmon :

> "We harvest the cells from our tanks and integrate them with a few plant-based ingredients..."

Gross. This should not legally be allowed to be marketed as salmon, at all.

bowmessage··on Xfinity using WiFi signals in your house to detect motion
I admittedly know little about this, but isn't GPS accurate enough on most modern devices to render the SSID refinement moot?
bowmessage··on Getting free internet on a cruise, saving $170
OP, great work, bypassing internet restrictions is always fun.

Though, I hope your family isn't cruising much in the future-- sharing stuff like this, with so many specifics about which cruise line and exact retry methodologies used, is a surefire way to get it shut down. (Or worse, a nasty internet bill from the cruise line.)

bowmessage··on Samsung Q990D unresponsive after 1020 firmware update
Wow, thank you, that is amazing news. Can I ask how you found this fix? I turned up nothing after scouring reddit on this one for a long time.

EDIT: just checked, my router doesn't even support WPA3... I think it's typically the 5GHz network that upsets it, but I suppose I'll just continue resetting it for now.

bowmessage··on Samsung Q990D unresponsive after 1020 firmware update
My Q990C requires factory reset about once a week. It's maddening.
