[quote]A picnic should be a no-fuss affair. That means easy
finger foods, minimal stickiness, and as little time manning the
grill as possible. And while grilled corn is a splendid picnic
side dish, it can be fussy—unless you prep the ears in your slow
cooker. Slow cooker steamed corn is crisp, juicy, and easy to
pre-season so you don’t have to mess with butter on the go.

Gone are the days of dropping your slippery, partially buttered
ear of corn into the dirt.[/quote]
Why not simply leave out the butter altogether? Oh, your
Turanian blood.....

[quote]Is margarine healthier than butter?
Margarine usually tops butter when it comes to heart health.
Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains
unsaturated "good" fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated
fats. These types of fats help reduce low-density lipoprotein
(LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated
fat.[/quote]

On a different note, while we have ridiculed many Homo Hubris
eating utensils earlier:

one that we missed but which I was just reminded of is yet
another utterly unnecessary and uniquely Western item:
HTML https://www.mashed.com/228143/the-real-reason-you-should-start-using-egg-cups/
[quote]Americans typically don't use egg cups — the tiny, cute
little tableware specifically meant for holding a single
soft-boiled egg. Some people might even think of these cups as
being bougie or fancy, which might be chalked up to them being
seen as an extra (and perhaps unneeded) part of a table setting
(via The Takeout). But for tons of people, this is a vital part
of their breakfast routine, and with good reason.
Recently, some egg cup fanatics from other countries found out
about our lack of sophistication. Needless to say, they had some
definite opinions. Our favorite comes from a Twitter user who
said, "ok ok seriously though we did not go through 300 MILLION
YEARS OF EVOLUTION to have an egg just roll around on a f******
plate."[/quote]
If you ask me, Americans should be proud that egg cups never
caught on in the US. Why would anyone bother to manufacture
something so superfluous? Yet read this shit:
HTML https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-egg-cups.html
[quote]A single egg, uncracked, in a white eggcup, this time
served alongside a ramekin that contained a sliver of Parmesan
cheese. Between the two porcelain dishes was sandwiched a single
slice of sunflower toast. Simple? Absolutely. But that white egg
balanced on matching ceramic made the whole thing feel fancy
...
An eggcup takes something as mundane as a soft-boiled egg and
elevates it to the centerpiece of a meal. They’re, almost by
definition, a luxury, since you don’t need one to eat an egg.
Plus, they’re often so uniquely shaped that they can rarely be
repurposed for another use. But to own and use an eggcup is to
be the kind of person who could, hypothetically, leisurely enjoy
a soft-boiled egg for breakfast under the Italian sun, or host
elaborate brunches at the drop of a hat.[/quote]

And then, just when I thought I had seen it all, literally while
writing this post I found out that there also exists an egg
cutter:

The counterattack of the colonial era:

[quote]The eating habits we need to bring back from the 1950s
...
Unsurprisingly then, few people skipped breakfast. Typically it
was bacon and eggs. “Only 20 per cent of the population were
having breakfast cereal in 1956,” says Gray. “We know that
cereals generally speaking are pretty awful. Most are high in
sugar, salt and fat.”[/quote]
I like cereal.
[quote]“It’s nothing to do with calories,” he says. “You can eat
a lot of healthy foods, such as meat, fish and vegetables with
high calories without it translating into weight gain. It’s what
the food does to you from a metabolic perspective. The
[s]western[/s] diet has too many refined carbohydrates that
affect your insulin levels and cause inflammation. It’s not the
fact that it’s really tasty, it’s the fact it disrupts the
metabolic signalling, causing weight gain.”[/quote]
I like carbs. I do not gain weight from them because I have:

Continuing:
[quote]In his book, he praises a Victorian diet. A 1950s ration
diet wouldn’t have been much different. “There wasn’t access to
refined carbohydrates in the form of processed bread, pasta,
shop-bought cakes and biscuits. We also didn’t have the
profusion of vegetable oils, which in my opinion, with the
exception of good olive oil, are the most artificial foods that
cause major distortion to our metabolism.[/quote]
I like bread, pasta, biscuits and vegetable oil. I despise
Victorian-1950s Britain.
[quote]The point where it all went wrong, he says, was the 1980s
when saturated fats were wrongly demonised, and cereals replaced
eggs as a healthy breakfast.[/quote]
I like the 1980s. What he above wrongly calls the "western" diet
should more accurately be called the Counterculture diet.
[quote]“The big scare that saturated fats caused cardiac
disease, which has been proven to be not reliable evidence,
unfortunately, meant the the western world went towards more
refined carbohydrates.”[/quote]
Which is why it would make more sense to call the diet of
Victorian-1950s era the Western diet. High-carb followed from
the Counterculture, which was anti-Western.

[quote]Inflation is forcing Americans to change their diets: ‘We
make vegetable soup’[/quote]
:)
[quote]The rise in the cost of living has prompted people to cut
down on meat, and eat out less
...
Some 72% of people who said they have changed their shopping
habits reported they had cut down on their meat purchases,
Morning Consult said.[/quote]
:)
[quote]“A mother of two reported, ‘Sometimes, there is not much
money. Like meat — you know today how much it has gone up in
price. That’s why sometimes we don’t buy meat. Instead, we make
vegetable soup,'” Martinchek told MarketWatch[/quote]
I have been making vegetable soup most of my life. I currently
have one in the fridge made of potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. I
drink it without reheating, unlike some inferior people who eat
hot food with the air conditioner turned on. (Also, unlike the
meat-eater above, I have never reproduced. This is actually the
best way to save money.)

And meat and dairy are heavily subsidized to make them cheaper.
Imagine how much we could cut down on the consumption of meat
and dairy by Americans, if we were to ever get the government to
remove or at least reduce those subsidies so that people would
be paying the ACTUAL (more expensive) price for it.
Optimistically, if the current economic situation persisted for
long enough, such a move would change our food culture here for
the better, regardless of whether plant-based diets are openly
promoted or not

I usually only eat one full meal per day (lunch). At night, I
only drink congee. I skip breakfast altogether.

On a side note, I was counting on inflation making it
economically untenable for subhumans like the above to
reproduce, but so far there is not enough evidence to indicate
that this is happening.

On another note, I am looking to drastically simplify my meal.
Because I am used to food from my ancestral country, most of the
ingredients are expensive because they have to be imported.
Additionally, they are only available at a store that is a
little far from where I live, so there is also the waste of
energy in transporting the ingredients.
I have looked into designing a dietary plan, but I can't quite
figure how to do it without using Western nutritional
terminology/concepts to determine what makes a "balanced" diet.
Do any of you have any ideas?
