I don’t think he’s right about America’s founding ideas. Free enterprise, maybe. But capitalism is a different beast, and only came to America much later. The young country’s first taste of real capitalism was the East India Company and their tea trading business. And look how they reacted to that.

I don’t think capitalism was what the USA’s founding fathers had in mind at all. I do think the linguistic conflation of “free market” with “capitalism” is an intentional large scale psy-op designed to make people forget that. And it’s working.

Any further “helpful” information in that error message would be a security issue.

Well, it was supposed to be mainly a hazelnut cream with some sugar, cocoa and maybe a few other minor ingredients. And in fact, when it was new and conquering markets, that was what it was.

I think the decades starting with the early 1990s had desensitized a lot of us to enormous amounts of sugar, and in the end we didn’t even consciously notice anymore how sweet that stuff had gotten.

I’m not surprised by it any more, but only because I’ve known this for a while now. When I first saw this breakdown (and looked at other sources to confirm), I was caught a bit off guard by the realization that this stuff is well over 50% sugar. The palm oil is not exactly a plus, either.

And what the goddamn hell is “true wood” supposed to distinguish?

I suppose if it contains lignin, it’s really wood, otherwise it just kinda looks like wood at best. If it’s real wood, most animals, with a few exceptions here and there, cannot directly digest it.

Wait, basil?

Rosemary, I get (and also thyme, btw), but basil? At best, the dried out stalks of a basil can look a bit woody, but that’s true for a lot of plants.

There are bio-accumulative toxins that really do get stuck in your body. Lead is a good example. Not that the supposed cures being peddled by these people can actually do anything about those.

Also, for the normal kind of toxin, the biggest factor keeping the levels in your body high is continued intake. Reducing that totally makes sense. However, you need to first have a real, based on science, understanding of what those toxins are in the first place and not just randomly blame junk food or 5G radiation, and it needs to be a permanent life style change. A two week “cleanse” does nothing. A juice will not detoxify you. (Depending on the juice, especially how filtered and how sugary it is, it may be healthy for other reasons. Standard orange juice is not, it’s way too sugary.)

Literacy rates in medieval times were not what they are today, but they’re still routinely underestimated. Most places, including peasant villages, would have had some people around who could read.

Then again, it also depends heavily in what part of the middle ages you are talking about. Early, high and late middle ages were almost different worlds in many regards.

I feel like this needs an explanation.
