I come from a mental health background and spoons is excellent for anyone. It needs explaining, sure, but neurodivergent people can use spoons to explain the cost of their executive dysfunction, people with depression can use spoons... hell, people free from illness can use this expression, too!

I get being bitter about jargon but it's an extremely versatile and easy-to-understand metaphor. I think the aim here should be to share it more, rather than try to label it as improper to include.

I do the same.

I've been mad about UHT milk ever since I discovered I can't make clotted cream with the ultra high temperature stuff. I don't want unpastuerized milk but ffs, let me have some texture I can work with!

I agree. I think it's worse than we already know.

I bet you're right. If you leave a plastic bottle in the sun, the water tastes god-awful.

I used to do Huel pretty regularly because one of my medicines makes me not want food and shakes are tolerable. But they kept selling out of my favorite flavor!

Here's hoping it's not too toxic!

Oh my gosh, I never thought of that!

I bought an air fryer, but honestly, I never use it because I hate cleaning the basket. I didn't even think about the top!

Adding this one to my list. Definitely nothing good about blasting your food with old oils.

I get where they're coming from! I was a kid when the aerosols were burning a hole in the ozone layer, and it taught me to distrust anything that can come out of a can too quickly.

I also drink tea but in between swallows I could see myself enjoying a vape, if they weren't bad for me. Which is why I have never used one.

I just saw an article the other day that black plastic utensils are toxic. I'm right there with you.

A couple places near me still use styrofoam. I can't get past it.

I didn't even know such a thing existed!

I wouldn't be surprised. I wish there was a way to enjoy flavor without any horrific side effects.
