Put salt on top. Same as those biscuits with the sugar.

Set him free!

I justify it as "not paying for extra water" after cooking. Lol

Most people, even older doctors are set in their ways. The attack on salt will take decades to overcome. We are starting to see the change though. A lot of newer doctors or doctors willing to try low sugar diets are reversing high blood pressure.

The fight on salt has really killed a lot of people. Same thing happened with the food pyramid. The original food pyramid is responsible for our obesity epidemic, but we now have generations long eating habits and customs that need to be broken.

Salt+butter+mixer. Some cinnamon and honey if you're feeling decadent.

There's a butcher shop near my work that also has a fantastic café attached. The meat is all absolutely exquisite looking, but you're god damned right that its insanely expensive like at least double or triple the price of meat at your typical store. We pretty much only ever buy their in-house pepperoni sticks and even those are around $16 a pound.

I honestly don't remember but the last time someone brought it up, the regulation sounded reasonable to me. I don't buy whole chickens, ever, so it hasn't come up in my life again since then. Not exactly satisfying, sorry 😐

Here in Denmark how much water is in the chicken is written on the label of the packaging. It is also required to list what ingredients are used to treat the chicken if anything besides water is used.

Is this part of an elaborate plot to teach your police chief to read?

It's not a saltwater issue, it's a product quality issue.

1. if you're expecting a natural chicken breast and it comes with way more salt than expected, it could mess with your dish
2. if I wanted to buy brine, I'd buy brine. As it happens, I'm buying chicken

God no, I'm just a machine that turns whatever I read into the first bad joke that leaks out of my fingers.

I bought a cheaper brand of meat than usual earlier this year. It was so wobbly it could have been a pillow in a water bed. Needless to say the cooked meat was salty but otherwise tasteless with a consistency of pre chewed porridge.

And the "lower sodium is more heart healthy" thing was, if I'm remembering a podcast I once listened to right, only consistently true for people that already had high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure people saw more mixed results with a low sodium diet.

"What is it now..."

and the visceral horror of a woman hammering nails into a chicken and frying it in what, by all appearances, looks to be used motor oil.

Layers.

"Doctors are morons and anti-science" is what I'm reading. And I agree.

Why do you like making extra work for yourself? Are you bored?

This is why I don't buy chicken from costco. Thankfully theres a good provider (Sunrise Farms) from Richmond on the Lower Mainland that makes a frozen skinless, boneless breat that's cheaper than Costco, cooks to nearly the same size it started as the water content is low, and is semi-local to Vancouver Island.

Oh you need someone to salt your butter for you? You need somebody to brine your meat for you?

You need me to fuck your wife for you too? Happy to help.

Doctors are normal people.

carefully

You need someone to make your butter for you?

You need someone to raise an animal and slaughter it for you?

You need someone to build a vehicle to transport yourself?

You needed a factory to build silicon wafers and assemble them into chips so another factory could produce a computer and install software on it that you didn’t write, so you could connect to the internet that someone else made?

Pathetic. Bet you don’t even live in the woods and grow your crops while trying to make solar cells out of sand to provide your own power. Absolutely pitiful that you participate in a society where goods and services are exchanged for money.

You missed the point completely. Enjoy the cuck!

They aren't dumb. They generally run on the knowledge they got from school. Not a lot of them actually run studies and find new methods. Medical expense has been evolving for thousands of years, and this age isn't any different.

The results of today show putting patients on low sodium diets does not reverse high blood pressure. But doing low sugar, low insulin spikes does get patients off blood pressure meds.

Shit it took until 2024 to get jiffy to stop putting in the oil that causes heart attacks in their peanut butter. 20 years ago people thought margarine was healthy. People replaced beef fat with crisco thinking it was better, but we now know it increases the rate of heart disease. Stuff changes as more data comes out all the time.

No one that buys prepackaged $8 chickens thinks they are all natural, and the packages say they add saline.

Must be nice living in a functioning society.

I kinda fucking expect the thing I'm paying money for to be what it fucking says it is. You think this is a granola hippie issue? fuck you

I don't want to pay extra for your fucking salt water, I have my own at far less than $3 a pound

I always check the labels for this because I grew up seeing those Foster Farms commercials that would bring this factoid up all the time. Foster Farms does also do this, tho. They just do it with their "cheap" brands that don't use the "Foster Farms" name.

End it. End it all now, Japan, get revenge. Fucking A.

Ehh, a restaurant would salt it past there anyway. Culinarily, you'd be well within reason to brine fresh chicken.

Price per pound is pretty bullshit thought, making it cost at the price if meat is BS

The package says it has saline in it. Do you not read what you read?

I don't disagree that you removed the short designation from the link, but what's the difference between the two? It's the same video with the same aspect ratio and the same obnoxious subtitles one word at a time. My sound is turned off so if there was a difference there it went unnoticed

I think it's like that in the whole of Europe.

As soon as I seen this YSK I thought of that short! The guy is genuinely fun and educational.

Uh if you're getting marinated meat, you kinda WANT it to be absorbed into the meat, as opposed to just being wet on the outside. So you have the marinade flavour when you cook the meat

Speaking for myself here:

• Shorts loop automatically, something I find annoying
• Shorts have loads of UI over the video by default; while there is a "clear screen" button in the context menu, it doesn't persist, and is extra interaction that a normal video doesn't require
• It's easier to scrub through a normal video on mobile; while there is a progress bar at the bottom of a short, you can't drag up on that bar to get fine-grained seeking

This is my "old man tells at cloud" moment and I'm okay with that.

Let's call it 500mg instead of a half gram because big numbers are always scarier.

This is done to avoid botulin toxin from being formed. It's a much, much bigger issue than the sodium intake

Thats nitrate salts used in sausages, salami and such. The NaCl used in fresh meats is mostly to add weight and supposedly make it more "juicy".

Every single ingredient panel I've seen (per 100g) reports sodium in mg.. so seems perfectly reasonable no?

Turn that frown upside down, oh wait, you can't move your face.

Sure but you can read European history and find out why. People had to rise up to get this, along with vacations.

You can't vote away evil since the ones who run things are not elected.

Along with this, it's probably wise to put the sodium numbers into context - the salt used to season your chicken is probably not going to be what's going to put you over the top when it comes to salt intake. Highly processed foods, sauces and bread is more likely going to be the thing that gets you.

Yep, I'm not old by any means and all these points ring with me as well

Get out of here with your reasonable solution.

Here in the US I avoid Aldi meat for this very reason. Plenty of good products at aldi... But the meat is terrible.

Huh, what does halal have to do with this? Halal-slaughtered chickens are allowed to be plumped as well.
