>>76346998yeah I was going to post the same thing. There's something redditish about the word "veggies", like it's their wholesome chungus quirky way to make some disgusting foods no one actually likes sound cute and approachable.
Vegetables offer nothing nutritionally really, it's not an exaggeration that they were a food to pad calories for poorer people. It was only at some point in the 20th century and the advent of global shipping and food corporations that we have had this cultural shift of seeing very cheap low quality foods as being "superfoods", vegetables being part of this, along with nuts, grains and oils. All the most vile fake foods like margerine and oils were at one time marketed as health-conscious alternatives to traditional foods (that just happened to have massive profit margins). Veggies are the same. You're lucky enough to live in a time when we have access to high quality nutrition everyday, and it's bizarre that people go out of their way to eat slave food instead, while wasting their money on stupid shit like pills and therapists for the problems caused by the slave foods.
