It would be counterprogramming to the Got Milk? advertisements aired during the school’s morning announcements and plastered across the school’s hallways.
what?
I'm not anti milk, but I am anti indoctrination that legitimizes pork barrel subsidies.
The school’s demand stemmed from a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy that states schools “must not directly or indirectly restrict the sale or marketing of fluid milk.” Doing so would violate the rules of its participation in the National School Lunch Program, which all public — and many private — schools heavily rely on to subsidize their meals, and could result in fines and other corrective actions.
America doesn't have a political party that priotizes Americans over corporations....
Like the milk push was for childhood nutrition, but nowadays our main health problems with kids is obesity.
So pushing calorie dense milk on teenagers makes zero fucking sense.
We should be teaching these kids that water is supposed to be the main beverage.
Milk and juice can still be available, but shouldn't be the default, and soda shouldn't really be an option for most school kids.
But there's no "big water" lobby to push kids drinking more water. There's water lobbyists, but that's about taking water reserves from one area, and then shipping it all over the country to sell at ridiculous prices because it's been bottled.
Par for the course with Lemmy. Every other day there's some preachy anti bs whether it's cars, anything not water or meat. The sites worse than reddit for circle jerking.
Even when drinking alone, there are often rituals. It's the same in spirit for everyone, but the specifics are individual. For me it plays a lot like in a certain song: waiting for the water to heat up without boiling, thinking about life, often watching the sunrise or recalling some dream.
Perhaps that's why the Druze would stick with the custom, too. I think that they "get" it - it isn't just "drinking", it's also the introspection that comes with it.
There are also plenty local differences. For example, the grandpa in the pic has a coconut-shaped gourd, fairly common there in Uruguay; here in Paraná (1000~1500km up north), in Santa Catarina and in Rio Grande, gourds typically have a large lip, like mine:
The ones that I saw the most in Argentina are from a third style, kind of a middle ground between my gourd and that grandpa's gourd.Then to the West (Paraguay, Mato Grosso do Sul, and even a chunk of Paraná) you'll often see people using cow horns for tereré.
What you drink might also change depending on the place. Even among hot mate drinkers; for example the further south you go, the more roasted is the yerba. It can be also coarse or almost like a flour in texture.
And a heartfelt hi from another A Clockwork Orange fan. I bloody love the book. (And the movie, too.)
Truth is, I was trying to be simple, so I mentioned the horns/guampas in MS instead. It seems to me that they (you?) consume mate far more as tereré than hot mate/chimarrão. Even some of the folks in Paraná's third plateau would rather use glasses. (I'm from Curitiba, so rather far from them. The first time I saw it - mate on a large glass, with lemon soda - I couldn't help but "...what?" It's comfy in the summer though.)
I just know from a friend from out there that it's common to use both the horns and the gourds. Mate with lemon soda is something new to me. Mate tea with lime served cold is a refreshing drink I like, but then it's made with the toasted leaves and not just dried like chimarrão.
I’ve sampled Hawaii-style Poké Bowl crisps in Hungary and chocolate-coated potato snacks in Finland; I have turned away from Sweet Mayo Cheese Pringles in South Korea.
Before Doritos launched in India five years ago, she took a “culinary trek” across the northern city of Lucknow, trying different pilaus, meats and breads from street food stalls.
When a flavour is made from scratch, Wood goes to chef Pat Clifford, who spent 14 years in restaurants – including some with two Michelin stars – before moving into “ambient foods” (anything in the supermarket that isn’t chilled).
Its residents earned the nickname Maneblussers in 1687 after they planned to throw buckets of water at the cathedral, believing it was alight – in actual fact, the red glow of the moon was shining through its windows.
“They had the volume, so they could request special flavours because we have a minimum order quantity,” says Gert Peremans, a salty snacks research and development director at Kellanova – formerly Kellogg’s – Pringles’ parent company.
Not all of these flavours are available in every European country – prawn cocktail only really sells in the UK and Ireland, while bacon is found in most places except Belgium, the Netherlands and strongholds of vegetarianism Austria, Denmark and Sweden.
