Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these "three packs" of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

Will at least all our problems of overweight, diabetes and clogged arteries be solved in a few years? Or will most of us be dead by that time? I fear the latter...

Unfortunately, buying ultraprocessed foods is cheaper than buying healthy food. So I'd say it will only make the problem worse.

The lucky ones will be dead. I don't expect that surviving the collapse is going to be a desirable option.

If you're from a first workd country and not already in poverty, you're probably going to be fine.

I'm sorry, what? The entire American west is becoming unlivable, Canada is burning to ashes, poisoning tens of millions of people across the continent, a hirricane just hit Californis, an entire fucking city just got wiped off the map in Hawaii, and western Europe is going to go into freefall when the impending collapse of tbe Atlantic currents drastically ravages their climate.

But sure, tell me more about how being in a developed country is going to save us when there's no fucking food and everything is on fire.

Oh nooo people won't be able to live in Phoenix Arizona

Was all yall dumbasses fault for trying to settle big cities in literal wasteland.

Most places in sane locations in the first world will be more or less shielded from the worsr effects of climate change.

That’s certainly a revision of what you said earlier. So now you have to not only be financially sound, in a premier country, but also not say, anywhere near the southern US or any flammable forests?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Economically, maybe.

in every other respect? uhm.... have you looked at the news this year?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s weird to me how much people focus on surviving widespread near-apocalyptic disasters. Why would I want to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheap food is usually less healthy but if you talk about people staving a little from time to time it seems realistic that many might get slimmer, not the healthy way to do it but I guess some could end up healthier

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My guy.

Losing weight by starving does not lead to a healthier person. What you get is a malnourished person.

Thinner people does not equal healthier people. These two factors need to be considered separately. Of course, the grossly obese tend to be less healthy, but even those in a "healthy" weight range, can have a large number of health-related problems, both with their diet and with their exercise and otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Of course, it's a missfired joke!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Look at a thin person's legs: little or no muscle means the low body mass is the product of self-starvation, muscled legs means it's the product of lots of exercise.

Also you can notice that people who starved themselves to be thin as teenagers (much more common in women) have arched legs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Thinner people are healthier in that they won't suffer from the same medical issues that plague the obese. A thin person might have high cholesterol, but they're not going to also have the same increase chance of heart disease an obese person will see. No individual who's 300lbs is healthy, obesity in and of itself is the disease. The fact thin people suffer from other, non-weight related diseases doesn't mean there is not point in not maintaining a healthy weight.

Food insecurity is not a solution to the obesity epidemic, but eating a couple hundred calories per day less than maintenance is also not starvation. And ensuring healthy foods and produce are more affordable than unhealthy and high-processed alternatives is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Well, this specifically being smoked wild salmon, it's not really problematic in that health sense (farmed salmon, on the other hand, has way much more fat and because of what it's fed, that's not even the good fat with lots of Omega-3) except perhaps any slightly hgher cancer risks associated with the smoking process (also it depends on any kind of chemicals added to accelerate the "smoking" - you can actually add "smoked flavour" - and preservatives).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

The cause of obesity usually isn't the size of a pack of salmon.
