Millenials are so gullible, they swallowed propaganda like this, Bowling for Columbine and an Inconvenient Truth wholesale

>its propaganda to imply "food products" from companies who will put toxic chemicals in food if it saves a fraction of a cent per sale aren't healthy

we all had to watch all of this during english of all classes, and we all got told off for saying the same thing, 'well of course he'll get really fat and sick if he eats junk food every day'. this doesn't make macdonalds good. this makes macdonalds junk food, which we all already know. I really don't know what the point of the film was and I don't know why teachers were ordered to punish and silence students for pointing out that the film is just presenting a pointless truism, instead of participating in the belief we're apparentley supposed to get that eating junk food once will make you morbidly obese and sick. you're supposed to repeat this lesson while just ignoring and not daring to mention that he eats it every single day. just such a bizarre thing they made us all participate in.

Not /tv/ related but I remember a teacher tried to get me suspended because I vocally challenged "A Child Called It" because the author was skeevy as fuck and everyone in his family called him a lying asshole.
I actually got to be put under another, better, teacher because I argued to the admin the crazy one would now grade me on a bias for disagreeing with her

>>220362346
It was before we were aware of the neo-marxist subversion.

>>220362852
in hindsight I saw a lot of this from 'naughty kids' who really were just speaking against a narrative being forced on them. not to say they weren't typically disruptive and rude and stuff too, but they did also completely reject viewpoints being forced onto them.

>>220362939
NTA, but I got sent out into the hall during class once because we were going to watch a documentary on seal clubbing. I jokingly made a gesture like I was clubbing a seal.

Teacher tried to lay it on real thick by writing me up. My dad laughed about it in the car.

>>220362939
I was never a troublemaker, but even as a preteen/teen I had a good sniffer for bullshit and when teachers just wanted to use their authority to push whatever bullshit ideology or narrative they themselves held dear.
They'd punish you for criticizing or challenging their viewpoints. If anything I remember they actually remember they resented you MORE if you were intelligent or well spoken enough to poke holes in their logic, because they couldnt write you off or have admin label you as a "bad kid."
Most teachers in the US are massive idpol faggots and propagandists who want to indoctrinate the youth.

>>220361763
I remember a friend and I rented this from Blockbuster and ate McDonalds while we watched it. Fun times.

There's one part when he's at the doctor and the doctor says you know what the problem is or something along those lines.
Coincidentally i was on jury duty for a DWI case this week and he kept making excuses like he was weaving in and out of traffic and swerving, brake checking people because his estranged wife and daughter were visiting so he was in a hurry and stressed out. Even though he failed all sobriety checks and drew a 0.1 one hour after he was pulled over. He still claimed to be not guilty and gave some sob story about his injuries and how he was scared of the cops and that's why he failed and now he has PTSD. Took us about 2 seconds to reach a guilty verdict.

>>220361763
It was funny to find out later he was a raging alcoholic drinking heavily during all this.

Thing is 99% of the USA saw mcdonalds and whatnot as junk food not real food long before that movie came out. In the 80s you could almost make excuses but by the time that movie came out no one was being "educated" on anything there. Even the most 80iq nigger knows that mcdonalds isn't real food it is emergency food or trash food at best.

>>220365655
>and you still eat fast food at least once a day?
Only time this has ever been true of anyone I know is if they are a blue collar guy burning 5000 calories+ a day working or me as a stoner teen with friends and we still knew it was trash food.
The only "people" that actively do what you're suggesting are the hordes of imported browns blacks and bugs that just consume and consume whatever they can get their subhuman mits on.
For every fat white guy there are 10 brown orbs it is actually crazy how many of these things came in on the waves over the last 3 decades.
You used to have actually work to be fat in this country. What a disgrace.

I’ve been an alcoholic for 10 years and my liver is fine however whenever I eat slop I start having panic attacks and my liver enzyme counts go through the roof. That’s probably what happened to Spurlock. Slop is literally worse for you than booze

Interesting thing is how, despite the alcoholism, Spurlock got a healthy baseline checkup from a doctor before beginning the "experiment."
Can't ask him now since he's dead, but it makes you wonder if he first abstained from drinking for a while, in preparation, so that he could get that healthy baseline, and then he resumed heavy drinking, to depict the McDonald's doing as much damage as possible. Maybe he wasn't just being dishonest about the drinking, rather being deliberately deceptive with it

>>220361871
he got sick because he drinks 2 liters of gin every day

Yeah that was my disconnect at the time it came out. My entire time in school in the 90s we were beaten over the head with THIS SHIT IS BAD ITS ALL BAD ITS JUNK FOOD DON'T EAT IT WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU. Even the dumbest niggers and spics knew it was junk food or food of last resort. By the time this movie came out the only people who didn't know that were too stupid to ever know that. 2004 btw.

>>220366294
>Almost 5 years now

>>220366370
Have you missed all the popov threads?
The issue is that the movie was a lie. He was drinking heavily the entire time, but didn't disclose that until many years later. There's even a scene where a doctor tells him he has symptoms which resemble alcohol abuse, but the movie acts like no, the McDonald's really did that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Gorske''

>On May 17, 2011, Gorske ate his 25,000th Big Mac at his favorite McDonald's restaurant in Fond du Lac.[12] On his birthdays, he puts candles in a Big Mac like a cake, and when Christmas time comes around, he treats himself to more Big Macs while his family has more traditional Christmas food. He claims that since he ate his first Big Mac, there have only been eight days on which he did not eat a single Big Mac. One of these days was when his mother died, and he did not eat a Big Mac to respect her request.[5] Other days included a "snow day" when McDonald's was unable to open due to snow, a Thanksgiving, days he was traveling and could not find a McDonald's, and various days Gorske had to stay at work past midnight. Gorske has since started keeping an "emergency stash" of Big Macs in his freezer for emergencies and snow days.[13]

It was mostly urban legend type stuff. Sawdust in the burgers, fries cooked on motor oil, roaches laying eggs in the taco bell meat vats and incubating in people’s mouths, etc. all plausibly deniable stuff that people assumed the FDA would do something about if it was true/toxic. Turns out the FDA allowed for “non-lethal” levels of poison in big chains “food,” on the assumption no one would eat it daily.

Not sure what you're talking about but outside of "urban legends" it was widely known as unhealthy. It was always junk food. I'm not sure why people are playing revisionist here. The only time these venues were ever marketed as healthy even was with the later salad and grilled chicken marketing bullshit post super size me.
Now since the mid 2000s we've had a massive dumbing down of culture due to many... factors and the population in general is much dumber and browner. Something like this would almost be more needed today, thing is the people who need that message are WAY TOO FUCKING STUPID to ever understand it.

>>220366782
No one is playing “revisionist.” You just have trouble with nuanced thought. Knowing it wasn’t the healthiest thing that could be eaten isn’t the same as knowing it was literal poison that could kill you if eaten too much.

>>220366188
>Still not sure why I had to watch this in high school

That's.....actually a good question. Inconvenient Truth makes sense, because that is Gore, Obama, DNC which just means China and it's overwhelming control of muh renevables production, so it is a no-brainer to put it in schools
Meanwhile Supersize me was in western schools why exactly? I don't even think that europeans ever had access to supersize option.

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

>>220367014
bitch was a cunt tbqhwy who the fuck is she to police you like that God damn I hate women so much

>>220366967
it’s because there was a push in the 80s and 90s to try to inoculate kids against aggressive marketing. The obesity epidemic was also starting and considered serious due to how Russia was still considered a threat. McDonald’s “food” was essentially designed to subvert natural satiation sensations and drive kids to overeat, which would be lifetime habits.

Then at some point everyone gave up on trying to curb the obesity epidemic and just pretended there was no capitalist reasons for wanting to encourage obesity and overeating.

He didn't get a clean bill of health in that scene, which is several weeks into the experiment. There are multiple doctor checkups. He may have gotten the initial clean healthy baseline by first abstaining for a while, as >>220366081 said

>>220366688
No one is defending McDicks. We're attacking a lying alcoholic who tried and succeeded to sabotage the industry with his lies.

>>220365894
Because when your a heavy alcoholic your body eventually starts having trouble processing solid foods. Mcdonalds isn't exactly great food but its not going to do what alcohol does to you.

not them but the "industry" has gotten way unhealthier since then they just market bullshit like "salads" and "grilled chicken" that is way fucking worse for you than anything these companies sold in the 80s and 90s.
the MARKETING went healthy for awhile but not the product.
Food standards are so low now and the slop is being fed to such a low class population imported since before this movie was even made that it isn't even comparable to that world.

>>220367367
Vegan types didn't, corporations did. Look into how much of these oils and other chemicals are byproducts of other processes these corporations were already doing. If I can sell off waste products to other industries I've now turned a thing I have to dispose into something that makes money.
A lot of oils and chemicals used in food are byproducts and get forced into wide acceptance and use by lobbying under the guise of "health" as well. Dont even look into the shit added to public drinking water.

The point is the doctor gives “an alcoholic” a clean bill of health before the experiment starts, then the only thing that changes over the course of the experiment is his diet, whether you take a drunken tweet as gospel or not.

When I was younger I recoiled at the idea of a fish sandwich from McDonald's but I still remember the first time I had it circa 2002 on a Friday when I decided to throw caution in the wind and get the Filet-O-Fish McDeal. Was it life changing? I wouldn't go quite this far but it certainly was an eye opener.

No, it might not be my usual or even a frequent companion in my car, but the Filet-O-Fish holds a special place in my heart. The soft steamed bun is like a heavenly pillow that holds a perfectly crisp and flaky patty of sustainable Alaskan pollock. The tartar sauce is impeccable with just the right amount of tanginess and the perfect creamy companion to the patty; it really does tie everything together. Cheese on fish? I wasn't a believer either but that slice of processed cheddar cheese, invariably perfectly melted like you see in the ads, is a magnificient addition. Possibly superfluous, I can't say for sure because I've only had one with cheese, but I have faith that the McDonald's creators knew what they were doing when they added it; they tend to perceive the gestalt of each menu item in a way that most of us simply cannot.

I am a fan of juxtaposing textures and I concede that the Filet-O-Fish does not have a contrasting crunch to balance the impossibly soft steamed bun and generous helping of tartar sauce. But you know what? It works. God knows why but it works, it really does. I sometimes alternate bites with their world famous fries, refreshing every so often with an ice cold Diet Coke that cleanses my palate and readies me for the next delightful bite.

For me, it will always be the McChicken. But when I'm feeling adventuresome or just want a change from the usual perfect sandwich, I go for the Filet-O-Fish.

>>220367729

Thats not even remotely true retard. Your equating drinking alcohol at all with what alcoholics do. Let me know once you have had to see 50 year old men who drink a 12 pack every day and top the cans off with vodka as they get low.

Ok you're a chud. My mistake I thought you were a faggot commie who thought the real redpill was that capitalism is bad or whatever.
But saying millennials rebelled against that is wrong. It's a tiny fraction

Tom Naughton made an excellent point that is so obvious and as far as I know so completely missed by everyone: Spurlock claimed McDonald's spent a lot of effort to make their food addicting yet his own documentary showed 1. he was disgusted by the food and didn't even want it before the month ended and 2. he stopped eating McDonald's at the end of the month and didn't crave it or go back to it at all.

>>220367928
If he was “drinking” why did the doctor give him a clean bill of health? Is it because he wasn’t and an drunken histrionic tweet from someone going insane isn’t a reliable source of information?

Changing two variables, whether you take the tweet posted decades later by someone clearly going insane as gospel, would do more damage to the results than just changing one variable.

>>220368107
I think because of >>220366081.
It wasn't simply that he hid the drinking because he couldn't stop, he actually had some control over it and knowingly used it to portray the food as being worse for him than it really was, and guarantee the doc would show the results he wanted

>>220368273
But anon, in the insane drunken rambling tweet by a guy who self-canceled for no reason just before he died, he claimed he could never stop drinking once in his life.

But hey, he’s dead so we can say whatever we want right?

>>220366035
it's a stupid point. Obviously you're not meant to eat supersize McDonalds meals three times a day.
You're not mean to eat Microwave lasagna three times a day, etc.

>>220368351
So your entire argument is the dude talking about himself didn't actually do what he said he did? And you are basing this on...?

>>220367242
Brazil nuts are a specific food, McDonald's isn't, fucking idiot

>>220367869
Was Chomsky actually wrong about anything?

>>220368504
Eat only fried foods, three times a day, every day, and see what happens.

>>220368426
So you think it’s fine to sell things that are toxic if you don’t sell enough at once to kill people outright

>>220368481
You want to use a tweet as evidence against a documentary that caused dramatic changes in the food industry, that could only cause changes if it was at least partially true, but get upset when the mental state of the guy (who was quite clearly insane) is used to discredit the validity of the tweet.

>>220368590

>>220368640
>that could only cause changes if it was at least partially true
Says fucking who?
The guy made a documentary, and then admitted he lied terribly about it.
The entire thing should be thrown out based on that.
Keeping it around because... it's still real to you, damnit, is nonsensical.

>>220368942
According to the reality we both live in where McDonald’s made drastic changes almost immediately in response to the documentary.

>>220368924
are McDonalds putting anything approaching arsenic in their food?

>>220368590
how many big macs do you have to eat to die?

So in this thread, people connected with the documentary are trying to convince you McDonald's is poison but alcohol is not

Really makes you think

>>220369041
Dunno, they stopped putting it in food after supersize me

>>220369106
haven't their frying methods gotten less healthy since the 90's?

>>220369073
People have been consuming alcohol for all of human history. McDonald’s only appeared 71 years ago and only morphed to its “sawdust and motor oil is food” state in the last 40

>>220369186
They stopped using hydrogenated seed oils in the friers. Haven’t gone back to beef tallow though.

>>220368980
what did they change?

>>220369252
Why play stupid at this point?

>>220362346
I liked all of those and they're examples of ineffective propaganda because they presented clear ideas to think about and critique so shortly after watching them I was firmly critical of the ideas.

Hollywood movies were much more effective propaganda, the ideas they wanted you to absorb weren't articulated, they were embedded as automatic assumptions nobody "cool" would ever try to challenge. A young adult has to work to notice the assumptions to even begin to think about them.

>>220369207
>i-it was around all of human history, it's okay to use

What the fuck does this documentary have that you're this desperate to defend it? Like if someone was defending McDonald's everyone laughs it up and moves on. Whenever someone brings up the guy in the documentary is an alcoholic suddenly there's these creeps trying to gaslight people into thinking McDonald's is the only problem and not also alcohol

>>220369207
It's still unscientific and dishonest to do what Spurlock did, consuming both at once.
Nothing stopping someone else from eating pure McDonald's for a month, without the alcohol, and testing the effects of that. I think some have done so but it didn't get much attention

>>220369277
because I don't know, and I'm asking you?

>>220368980
Businesses change things because of bad PR, real or imagined, all the time.
Concluding therefore the documentary was correct is totally erroneous. It's just flawed thinking.

>>220369252
They got rid of super size and added salads and other shit to pretty up their image. The food is the same.

>>220365913
It is.

>>220369325
>not defending fast food is defending a documentary that forced changes in fast food

>>220369376
Looking guilty is bad PR

>>220369335
How is it unscientific and dishonest to get a clean bill of health and then change one thing to determine the effects of that one thing?

>>220369400
Yes, but lawyers and risk aversion and whatnot. The documentary made a big stir. Everyone believed it.

>>220369427
>lawyers and risk aversion
There’s no risk to avert if you aren’t guilty.

>>220369411
He lied to doctors at the time and said he didn't drink. And then also lied to the audience by omitting it.
As for the clean bill of health, maybe he selected doctors based on which tests they would perform, knowing one checkup would show liver damage and the other would not. Or maybe he was drinking at a more moderate level before the experiment and then sharply increased it during the month

>>220369376
>The food is the same
https://www.eatthis.com/ways-mcdonalds-food-has-become-healthier-in-the-last-decade/
They now have more detailed nutritional facts and sourcing info about every item than most restaurants.

>>220369207
answer the question >>220369071

>>220361763
There was some edit of the movie for schools that made it PG, and my schools copy broke so my health class teacher showed us the uncensored version instead. Not too different besides them saying “fuck” once and a scene about him getting erectile dysfunction

>>220369446
So what? They'll pay off frivolous lawsuits just because. They'll change things if there's nothing wrong just to make bad press go away. How are you not getting this?

>>220369507
How is it possible the doctors couldn’t tell? Is it because he wasn’t drinking?

>>220369519
And America has only gotten fatter and fatter. Weird.

They were fucked you retard. EVERYONE BELIEVED THE DOCUMENTARY
They felt the best option was to "do something." And maybe it was. Maybe not. The point is that doesn't prove Spurlock was right and the documentary was real.

>>220362438
You vill eat ze sneed oils und you vill like it!

>>220369718
except he had a clean bill of health before he started eating McDonald’s every day three times a day.

>>220369676
The second doctor literally says it looks like he has the liver of an alcoholic.
Which of course the movie would portray as being caused by the McDonald's.

>>220369695
Retardation + abundance = fat
You can't change the laws of nature and blaming a glorious institution like the McDonalds corporation is another symptom of the aforementioned retardation.

>>220369695
Because america has gotten browner. Have you looked into desserts from south america and the middle east? Or the amount of sugar they put in their food? There's a reason the diabetes levels in those countries is through the roof.

>>220369801
I didn’t believe it until McDonald’s started massively changing everything.

>>220369811
The “second doctor” was the same as the first doctor who gave him a clean bill of health. Have you even watched the documentary?

>>220369400
So like when Spurlock said he always was an alcoholic while he was being canceled?

weird how he refuses to say how many big macs makes for a lethal dose

>>220369845
Nobody could reproduce the experiment at the time and now the only scawy seed oils are in the fries. The burgers are health food.

>>220369821
100%. I'm not fat in the slightest. Why? Not because of calories on the menu. Because I'm not lazy and retarded. Can you imagine? But I should suffer because others are?

>>220369831
I seriously doubt that. The guy with a weird vendetta against fast food was a hardcore skeptic of Supersize Me until they started changing their menu. ok.

>>220369845
I've seen it but it has been a long time.
If it was the same doctor then I'm inclined to think Spurlock increased his drinking during the month, to help give that result.

>>220369902
How do you reproduce results when the target changes everything in response to the first experiment?

>>220369849
He self-canceled for no reason. He was clearly insane.

>>220369984
So before the documentary came out, literally no one on the planet had eaten more than what he did for the documentary?

The issue with fast food isnt the calories. It's the preservatives and extremely low ingredient quality. It's not food. You can eat it and be just fine, but on a long enough timeline the consumption of it causes cellular damage which can lead to a host of health problems

>>220369984
>at the time
They didn't change anything until recently retard and it was mostly about removing muh seed oils and corn syrup.

>>220369937
I don’t “believe” anything until there are results. Like how when they said to trust the science about the “vaccine” I said “okay call me when peer review is done,” and then it never was.

>>220369809
I doubt that and it doesn't matter because if he was slugging bottles of vodka while eating mcd it would still be a factor. You sound like the defense lawyer at the dwi case I was a juror on this week. Yeah. We could prove he was drunk at the blood draw but no one can prove he was drunk when he was pulled over.

>>220370036
>if he was slugging bottles of vodka while eating mcd it would still be a factor
He was also breathing air that whole time. Maybe we got the wrong culprit.

>>220370017
McDonalds™ removed the preservatives, sources high quality ingredients and provides detailed information about all of them.

>>220370020
No they made huge changes immediately in response to supersize me

So why is it people insist that alcohol is less harmful than McDonald's? Was the documentary funded by Big Alcohol?

>>220370072
There is no data that backs up your claims. You live in a fantasy world based on parroting vague media sentiment.

>>220370017
>extremely low ingredient quality
This is a complete myth. The idea that they're using fucked up cheap meat or whatever. It's all traceable.

>>220370031
I just really doubt your whole narrative but anyways if you think McDonald's is bad, then why? Because... you think Spurlock lied about lying and McDonald's changed its menu because it was actually bad? The changes it made were very minor you know

>>220368980
The changes made were a PR response. They did not significantly change anything with their menu other than removing Supersize because the documentary had poisoned the term. McDonalds tried Salads in the past and they sold poorly. Nobody wanted a Salad when they went to McDonalds they wanted the tasty unhealthy treat.

>>220365913

Another fine meal. The worst stuff like the fries and soda are more comparable to what most ameristanis eat at home so le "junk food" burgers are health food in comparison.

>>220370927
water is necessary to life. poisons aren't.

>>220370752
A bowl of rice is also 300 calories and entirely carbohydrates. Fat is healthy unless you eat like 200% of the recommended daily serving every day. The burger is relatively balanced. A meal has two of the small burgers + 230 calories of fries (carbohydrates) + 200 calories of coke (carbohydrates).
That's 1k calories, half your daily need. The lack of balance comes from the uniformity of the fries and coke. Some fruit, veggies and protein the rest of the day corrects the balance.
Personally my diet has been mostly carbohydrates for decades but I'm not fat and literally never needed a doctor. I would still be better off with a more balanced diet, especially if I ate more.

>>220370476

>>220373633
Smoking subjects nearby people to second-hand smoke
Drinking to excess makes someone a risk to be around due to likelihood of violent or otherwise unsafe acts this is a bit of a stretch though
Eating fast food has no immediate danger to anybody nearby

I don't want any of these things banned. If I had to pick one, I'd pick smoking, but it's not illegal and I don't want to make it illegal.

If someone's a smoker, I definitely think less of them. If someone's an alcoholic, I definitely think less of them. If someone's diet consists of a large amount of fast food, I definitely think less of them.

I still have no problem with McDonalds offering super-size options. I have no problem with bars offering a "happy hour" with discounted drinks. I have no problem with cigarette companies selling cartons at a discounted rate compared to packs. Nobody is forcing me to take part in any of it.

Your're still a nanny-state bootlicking faggot

I'm sure it was pushed because of this >>220366271 but the reason it was such a hit is because teachers and anyone who worked with children was absolutely gobsmacked at how fat all the kids suddenly were. Before the 90s you had one fat kid in the class comparable to the goonies truffle shuffle kid, by the mid 90s that level of fatness was half the class in addition to one or two genuinely obese, several hundred lb ten year olds. Even weirder was when parent teacher meetings came around and you would notice most the fat kids' parents weren't even fatties themselves

>Most teachers in the US are massive idpol faggots and propagandists who want to indoctrinate the youth.

I see this very clearly now that I'm a dad with a daughter in grade school. I hate the moronic women who run education in America. They ran out all of the men from childhood education with pedo panic and now torture our children with standardized tests, charts and graphs, and excel sheets. My daughter's teacher this year is particularly idiotic. She talks in a high pitch sing-song voice about statistical points. Meanwhile she doesn't recognize my daughter's test scores are good enough to to get her into Mensa. My 10 year old is smarter than her teacher.

beyond the motor oil in the fryers and the sawdust in the "100% beef" burgers, we have no idea what else mcdonalds was putting in their "food" before supersize me. But one dude was able to push out a documentary on how toxic the "food" was before mcdonalds changed everything.

>what everyone already knew
knowing that mcdonalds isn't healthfood isn't the same as knowing it is (or was) literally toxic.

That's a fairly small amount of McDonalds for an average-sized president, I'd say?

>skinless chicken breast is one of the healthiest things
Gymcel whitoid detected, I bet you eat your goymeat with broccoli and pasta.

>>220377325
Fuck no, I put a bunch of chicken breasts and chuck beef into a slow cooker and eat it with poached or soft boiled eggs

If I really need carbs I'll use a rice cooker to cook brown or black rice using beef or chicken broth instead of water

I hate pasta and I'll eat cauliflower (not broccoli) if I'm on a cut
