That’s a big problem in makeup too! Companies want to put out “clean” and “natural” makeup but makeup isn’t typically used very quickly. Makeup with no preservatives going bad is common.

Fuck organic food where can I buy some silicon based food?

You're telling me you've never had a cobblestone cobbler? Not even a sand-wich?

All about that Germanium based food personally

Reject modernity, embrace salt as currency.

This sounds like a protest slogan.

Don't worry. It was there for flavor. Not preservation.

I realize the ambiguity of whether organic really matters, but there is a strong link to pesticide use and the eventual extinction of bees-

The wealth of misinformation and personal opinions in this thread is… it’s just classic.

It’s incredible that as we are actively engaging in conversation on the internet we fail to use this modern marvel to better ourselves. Instead, we choose to bear our ignorance and influence impressionable minds.

I mean, I know this a meme and maybe not the right place for fact checking, still…

Vitamin E (tocopherols) are also preservatives that can be added to organic food.

Why are people transcribing memes?

[–] KoboldOfArtifice@ttrpg.network 27 points 8 months ago

So that vision impaired people or people with whatever other impairment can enjoy the content. The text can be read out by a screen reader.

OP, see here how it's done.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

At least they labeled salt correctly as "inorganic". Doesn't matter, but it's at least correct.

that cat seems to be missing the top of his head. Where is the rest of his head?

He ate too much organic food with salt in it and got smooth brain.

It's a huge conspiracy that the big seasoning companies don't want you to know.

I know this is a joke but I highly recommend the app Yuka. You use it to scan food and beauty products and it shows you if they’re toxic. You’ll be astonished at how much is.

[–] Killercat103@infosec.pub 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Any thoughts on OpenFoodFacts? When you mentioned it, I searched and saw alternativeto.net said this was an open-source alternative. An app is available on F-Droid as well (That software I run is Libre is important for me personally)

[–] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social -1 points 8 months ago

Ooh neat. Idk much about it. I’m currently on an iPhone (regret). Yuka is pretty cool in that their pro plan is pay what you will, I will mention, though.
