By what stretch of the imagination does this belong on c/world?
Dogmatic adherence to mealtimes is racist
for god’s sake…
This is a photo, not a news article.
Happy birthday to the ground!
This feels like astroturfing to get people more accustomed to the idea of eating fewer meals as food becomes more expensive.
But it’s too early on Christmas eve for conspiracy theories. I haven’t even started drinking my once a year Christmas booze.
It’s from 2015, look at the top comment for the source article.
When European settlers got to America, they also imported their meal habits: a light meal—maybe cold mush and radishes—in the morning, a heavier, cooked one midday, and a third meal similar to the first one later in the day. They observed that the eating schedule of the native tribes was less rigid—the volume and timing of their eating varied with the seasons. Sometimes, when food was scarce, they fasted. The Europeans took this as “evidence that natives were uncivilized,” Carroll explained to me in an email. “Civilized people ate properly and boundaried their eating, thus differentiating themselves from the animal kingdom, where grazing is the norm.”
Thats the racist part. Ok?
In other words, the only problem with the headline is that it’s declarative. As is often the case, it turns out it has a basis in something.
The problem with the headline is that it’s bullshit clickbait - when you chose to eat your meals personally isn’t a form of racism (I guess excepting extremely contrived examples like spelling out slurs in morse code or something).
Is there science to back up that we shouldn’t eat this way? Has three meals a day been used to call other people savages in the past?
This is why my general mentality is “fuck you”. Just in general. To everyone. Because there’s people in this world that are racist assholes. Fuck them. Then there’s people who are dumbass assholes. Fuck them.
People like this, claiming meals are racist. Fuck them.
There’s people who make wild unfounded claims, such as video games make you a sexist. Then there’s others who make racist claims like only degenerate criminals crossing the boarder. And I don’t have enough hours in the day to investigate where everyone stands on the spectrum.
So fuck them. Fuck everybody, and hey, fuck you too.
Merry Christmas assholes!
I… I think I’m in love with you.
Lost_My_Mind has become Scrooge McDuck.
BAHHUMBUG!
Oh yeah and
Merry Christmas to you too😁
Calling western meal schedules racist is uh… fucking dumb.
But the standard meal schedule is dumb and while the optimal approach is to just listen to your body adopting the Spanish meal schedule is a decent improvement.
Have a protein focused breakfast and then most of your calories in the mid day (Spain does this at 13-1500) and, if you want it, have a small supper in the evening (Spain does this at 8-11 but earlier isn’t a bad idea).
It’s very silly to eat all your calories at the end of the day so that evening meal should be much lighter than the American standard.
Okay, but I sleep like shit if I don’t have a heavy meal at the end of the day.
I think different people need different meal schedules, and the “one size fits all” approach is the problem.
Yea - listening to your body is definitely the best approach… but if you have a family you’re coordinating meals with there are generally better options than the standard western meal schedule - your mileage will vary though and for you a heavy meal at the end of the day very well may be the best approach.
What if we just re-name breakfast “Wokemeal”?
It is something you eat after you just “woke” up!
Now you’re just being passive aggressive to all the woke people who are trying to argue against the racist people who are actually jerks, but they’re only retaliating against the leftists.
Also
Merry Christmas 😁

IT’S XMAS YOU RACIST RELIGIOUS HACK. ALSO, PAGANISM AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE ROMANS.

The easiest shot to take is against one’s own team.
Absolutely 😁
Found the article, it’s actually real. However, it also predates the Biden admin.

What isn’t racist if even dinner-time is racist?
She says dogmatic adherence to mealtimes is racist, and her justification is that the first European settlers in North America saw the locals not sticking to mealtimes and said it was because they were uncivilised. Still a stretch, like, I think.
Not much of a stretch, white supremacy created the idea of races, tacking on the extermination and subjugation of generations of natives and African peoples for hundreds of years.
To be racist isn’t to be a bigot. It’s specifically based in white supremacist colonialism.
I understand there is a species of blind fish living in a cave nearly a mile beneath the Yucatán peninsula that scientists believe might not be racist, but research is still ongoing.
Nah. They can tell which fish don’t fit in from their foreign-sounding glub glubs.
They all called me a slur. The worst one.
Do they have oil
