Mother Jones: "Eating Three Meals a Day is Racist"
Pundit Press ^ | 3/5/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/05/2015 7:18:07 AM PST by rightistight

In one of the dumbest articles ever to see the light of day, Mother Jones has declared that eating three meals a day is "racist."

The piece, titled "Why You Should Stop Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner," was written by Kiera Butler, a senior editor, and was published yesterday.

How is eating food racist? Butler explains that white Europeans brought the tradition of eating three meals a day with them to the "New World."

"When European settlers got to America, they also imported their meal habits," Butler writes, "a light meal—maybe cold mush and radishes—in the morning, a heavier, cooked one midday, and a third meal similar to the first one later in the day. They observed that the eating schedule of the native tribes was less rigid."

However, when food was scarce, natives "fasted. The Europeans took this as "evidence that natives were uncivilized," Butler writes, citing an email she received from someone who wrote a book.

Probably not the best source for nutritional advice from the welfare quees ai've seen but I think this gal is white and thin and knows best or you. Guess which of the three choices she'll choose as the most healthy without even reading the nutritional info on the box?

If you guessed the one with the word, "free", on it you are absolutely correct. Liberals are knee-jerk reactionists who don't research anything on their own. If someone looks attractive or is a celebrity they take them at their word every time. I've often found the boxes with hyped content on them to be higher in sodium, fat, and calories ad tey were supposedly "better" fr you. Don't buy the hype...

"toilet paper"

Hey, don't give them ideas. They already say we should use just one square. In the future Peoples Republic of America, everybody will get rationed squares. Of course, before they take over completely, there's the possibility of a lot of bloodshed.

No! It cannot be!

We are not only no better than other cultures, we are worse. That is what they mean by equal.

Haven’t you heard?

Did you see the two photos in the article I linked to? Coupled with the story text it’s absolutely hilarious.

“Using toilet paper is also racist”.

I guess if you think about it, using a TOILET is racist!

My favorite so far:

[

I recently had a conversation with a liberal friend of mine where I asked how she could stand living as a liberal with all the rules, regulations, what you can eat, what you can say, who you can associate with, what words have to be uttered by their first letters, who or what is cool, what you can buy, what bag you can take it home in.... and thats not taking into account all the victims who will be offended by your uncaring words that you didnt know were no longer allowed ... and when I was done she sighed and said, “its not easy.”

No lie.

When you can see racism in centuries old eating habits ... oh, never mind. ]

Back in the early ‘80s, I use to think that three of the <12oz bottles were quite filling for a meal.
