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.

Wow, these idiots are no better than third world 10-IQ cannibals.

Besides wanting a full out racial war with blood and guts spilling on the streets,
it makes me wonder how in the same breath they can say how radical Conservatives are.

" So fascinated were Europeans with tribes' eating patterns that they actually watched Native Americans eat "as a form of entertainment."

Eating seven meals a day, I guess, makes you a Hobbit.

Can’t. Stop. Laughing. ]

Depends which tribe, some tribes had their crap together more than others, some were very violent and savage, some like the Iroquois and Cherokee were a lot more civilized and they even borrowed some of their customs from the colonists from europe. Usually a good rule of thumb was that if a tribe was settled it was more civilized than a tribe that was nomadic, because a lot of nomadic tribes were marauding nomadic tribes. Not all mind you, but it was a rule of thumb for that time.

Granted, the colonists did a lot of sins concerning native peoples, but it wasn’t a one way street, it was the messy process of two cultures clashing, there was a lot blood on both sides and a lot of blood even before the other side even arrived.

Dry asparagus prompts questions about racial discrimination in U. City

St. Louis Post Disgrace ^ | 7/17/13 | Stephen Deere

Posted on 7/17/2013, 7:48:33 AM by Clintons Are White Trash

UNIVERSITY CITY • A dried-out batch of asparagus has touched off a debate about racial discrimination, grocery stores and the role of citizen-led commissions.

It started in May when resident David Olander was perusing the produce section of the University City Schnucks. He noticed the asparagus weren’t resting in a tray of water.

“It was just sitting there dried out,” said Olander, a member of the city’s human relations commission.

Olander summoned an assistant manager, and then he asked the question: Did the quality of the asparagus have any relationship to the store’s location in a black neighborhood?

I know its against USMC policy. I was somewhere once, they gave us 12 chows each. After 4 days we told em we needed some cases of C-rats dropped off.
Gunny said “we just gave you 12 each”. That’s was 4 days ago sir.
“who the hell told you to eat 3 times a @$#%^& day?”

Swear by all that’s holy it’s true.
