I have this app called Too Good To Go and it lets you buy shit from grocery stores that they would otherwise throw away for a cheap price (think like 15 euro worth of stuff for 3-4 euro). Today I went for it and got sort of disappointed, as a got like two cheeses, plant based butter, a box of eclairs, 15 little desserts and a steak. Sort of decent catch, not very nutritious. We gave the steak away as meat is not eaten in our house.

The app is a hit or miss. You can sometimes end up with a big box of veggies you can eat for a whole week. Just not today.

Anyway, it always makes me think how fucking much food is thrown away. Like, the app is so full in just my City. According to the app, 124kg of food is throw out every SECOND in this country. How anyone has to get hungry because they can’t contribute to the profit is just insane. I hope we can one day look back at this time in disgust.

      Did you forget about existence of carbs, unsaturated fats, and fiber?

      Cheese and steak are not very nutritious on their own.

      Also they said that they don’t even eat meat.

          Carbs are an essential component of the human diet.

          Without a balanced diet of Carbs, Fats, and Proteins, you will destroy your body.

          Thats why Keto is literally a horrific idea and should only be done if ordered by a doctor.

          Also if you don’t eat fiber… have fun in the bathroom

          carbs are non essential

          carbs are literally necessary for all life, i don’t know which pseudoscience nutritionist told you this but it’s blatantly false
