Again, I totally agree and think you're right. I don't want to sit back, but no one has a realistic answer. They have nice answers that they hope someone does, but we dont have a unified voice saying this is what we are doing.

I agree that a rotisserie is closer to fast food, but I was saying most low income people are lacking any food education to make a properly prepared chicken. Most low income prople who are suffering the effects of dollars a day making a difference also lack the education of the why, where, and how they can prepare equivalent priced meals that are better for them. To some this is all they know.

I also got a lesson in college, a privalidge that you and I were able to afford that some prople genuinely never got the opportunity, and those people are the ones truly suffering from the effect of "luxury" rotisseries.

Yeah whats up with that? I mean she looks bad. Like unhealthy bad. Im sure its something to do with her blackened and tarred soul seeping through and becoming visable, but still.

That still sounds misleading. He was not speaking for 16 hours of use which is what the headline suggests. As other has stated, I hope those companies crumble but I think honesty is important, not sensationalization.

I think many people are aware of this, but what do you DO. There are laws and expectations of civilized society. On both sides. You become the first person to raise some form of resistance I highly doubt the majority will welcome you with open arms. No, likely you will be seen by everyone as a cult leader, an anarchist, or at best, someone who snapped and refused to follow the rules of society.

The real people who need to take action are elected officials. Mayors and governors need to stand up and say "my people will not be used for this, and you cannot force us." The fact that yhese events that you are very aware of were able to happen were entirely due to the lack of responsible leadership, not that some people didnt grab their handgun and form a resistance group of 20 people to fight a fully armed surveillance police state.

I agree with you, its awful, I dont want to sit back and let things happen but what, realistically in modern society, do you do.

Exactly. Additionally a lot of low income families lack the knowledge of how to properly prepare a chicken, or the equipment to do it well. When the difference is 20¢ a pound for an already seasoned and prepared bird its not really luxury prices. Luxury is like some $50 chicken wrapped in gold bullshit topped with exotic flower pistols.

Right but the discussion isn't if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.

Its working exactly as intended.

I like Hoopla because of the name, but same thing.

I cant imagine flagging a whole account over 18 years old as attached to a minor.

It may be a little tinfoil hat like, but you cannot convince me that these companies are shoving AI in literally everything, buying all the hardware in existence, and building data centets on land that no one wants them at, just to "make a better ai for the consumer." I believe this is an attempt at hardcore tracking and surveillence.

This is like a "no shit Google doesn't want this" which makes moving over to the Euro style even better. Everyone opposed to what huge tech corporations are doing (should be everyone) should see this as a sign that you should make the change.
