16 Awful People Talk About Serving Vegans Meat and They’re Not Sorry

I’m TOTALLY against pretty much everything that these people are admitting to in these secrets. Because, yes, vegans and vegetarians can be a bit pretentious when it comes to their lifestyle choice. But they trying to LITERALLY not eat another animal’s flesh. Or byproducts of that animal. That’s a good thing.

Still, meat eaters (especially these assholes) have had enough and are taking matters into their own hands by serving meat in their dishes.

Get ready to meet some horrible people!

5 Facts About Being Left-Handed Around the Globe

The right hand has been the dominant hand for ages, spanning time and cultures. And because populations of left-handed people are relatively stable at 10% globally, it’s not surprising that right-handedness has been the default classification among humankind. It can represent anything from power, rational, conscious and logical thought, depending on the culture.

Now, since most of us are right-handed, we don’t even think about how we use it so much more: we shake hands on the right, we pass food with the right, we gesture with the right. Even lefties are so inculcated into the cult of the right hand that they also shake hands on the right – it’s just how it’s done.

And so maybe you want to bust of out of that mold and start using your left hand willy-nilly. Just be careful; in some cultures, the right v left hand debate is more than just a curiosity. It gets downright intense.

5. Pass the food to the right

Okay, so you’re sitting at family dinner and passing around serving plates. Have you noticed that the motion is usually counter clockwise? This is actual set-down etiquette in Western cultures, put in place so as not to disrupt the flow of plates being passed. It’s interesting that this is a common practice because someone, a long time ago, determined that passing to the right was better than passing to the left.

4. Passing food or objects in India

There is a distinct difference on right hand versus left-hand usage in India. Rough Guides explains:

“Rule one eat with your right hand only. In India, the left hand is for wiping your bottom, cleaning your feet and other unsavoury functions (you also put on and take off your shoes with your left hand), while the right hand is for eating, shaking hands and so on.”

It would be an insult to offer something to someone with your left hand and most likely that person will not take it.

3. Dining in Ethiopia

Ethiopians typically eat with their hands, forgoing any plates. Often you would share a large dish with friends, which is why eating with only your right hand is so important.

Remember how in India the left is used for unsavory functions? Same with this culture. So when you use only one hand (the right one) to dip pieces of injera into the communal bowl, you are reducing the risk of contamination.

2. Shaking hands

You guessed it! Shaking hands with your right hand is a rite! Have you ever come across someone that shakes with their left? It’s awkward! In many cultures, including America, left-hand shakes are considered an insult and refer to insincere promises.

1. Sign Language

Okay, this doesn’t exactly have strict rules over which hand to use. But the key to signing is to stick with your dominant hand. Which for most of the world is the right. Sorry, lefties.

Jon Miller from Signing Saavy says:

“When signing, it does not matter if you sign as left-hand or right-hand dominant. The biggest thing to remember is to pick which hand you want to use as the dominant hand and stick with it. You should not switch back and forth between dominant hands. Most signers will be able to understand your signs no matter which hand you use as the dominant hand.”

There you have it! When in doubt, go for the right.

Lucky Charms Now Sells Bags of Giant Marshmallows

The best part, by far, of Lucky Charms is obviously the marshmallows: heart, stars and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, hourglasses, rainbows and tasty red balloons.

Obviously.

In 2015, General Mills unveiled Marshmallow-Only Lucky Charms, and now they’re taking it to another level by making the marshmallows full size.

On August 8, the company announced the release of 7-ounce bags of jumbo Lucky Charms marshmallows. The large marshmallows are a collaboration between Lucky Charms and Jet-Puffed, the popular marshmallow brand.

The Lucky Charms marshmallows are just $1.50 per bag. Previous boxes of Marshmallow-Only Lucky Charms were limited edition, and the clamoring masses had to hustle to get their hands on one. They’re so rare that they are actually sold on eBay as collector’s items.

But not these giant marshmallows! Nope, these are as easy to get as a regular box of Lucky Charms. They’re already available in select stores, and they’ll go completely nationwide in September.

The bags include all the regular varieties of marshmallow – hearts, stars and so on. However, they only come in one flavor: standard marshmallow vanilla.

Some foodies are a bit disappointed by the change.

“They are just regular marshmallows, colored and shaped,” Instagram food blogger @phatphood wrote. “At first I thought they were flavored, but they are not. I prefer the stale ones (without whipping aid) in the cereal, these are too fresh.”

Fair enough. If you want the Lucky Charms marshmallow experience, it seems you might as well go back to picking out the tiny marshmallows from the box. But if you want a colorful variation on a s’more, these marshmallows are just perfect.

Find out Why Smoking Weed Might Give You the Munchies

With all the states and counties relaxing restrictions on consuming cannabis, people who might not have partaken regularly (or at all) could find themselves enjoying a puff here and there.

If you’re not a regular, then you might not be prepared for the phenomenon known as the “munchies” (just grab some Doritos, you’ll be fine) – but either way, thanks to a recent collaboration of scientists, we might finally have an explanation.

What do you prefer for munchies?👇🍔🍟🍕🍗🍣🍤🍡🥧🍦🍭🍫🍰

A post shared by 420Cartoons (@420_cartoons) on

The paper was published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, and it goes a long way toward revealing the reasons smoking weed makes you want to attack an order of fries or a bag of cookies.

750 participants signed up for the study, which used a tool called the Cannabinoid Eating Experience Questionnaire, which asked them to rate how pleasurable the experience of eating becomes when stoned.

It also asked them to rate their level of hunger and the ability to feel full while stoned.

The numbers don’t lie; smoking weed increases both appetite responses. Participants were hungrier, ate more, and felt more pleasure at eating food when they were partaking.

The scientists didn’t get into the neurological or biological reasons we might respond this way, though other studies have shown that stimulating cannabinoid receptors boosts the ability to smell food (in mice).

Interestingly, this study did find that the more one uses cannabis, the less likely one is to get “the munchies,” so the receptors could dull in time, or get used to the repeated effects.

Just something to think about if you’re thinking of toking up – but with food delivery available pretty much everywhere now, I’d say you don’t have to worry.

Students Are Overdosing from Eating Too Much…Tuna

We live in strange times – college kids eating so much of the cheapest food they can find that they’re winding up needing medical intervention they can’t afford.

Tuna, in case you fall into this category of unaware, contains the heavy metal mercury, which is toxic in fairly small quantities. It also accumulates in the body, which means that eating too much, too close together can result in mercury poisoning, which shows up as poor cognitive function, blindness, and impaired lung function.

Researchers out of the University of California, Santa Cruz published a study in Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry that revealed many collage students are unaware of the issues with eating too much tuna – and they’re eating a lot, based on the mercury levels in their bodies.

54% of students reported eating tuna at least three times per week, a frequency that exceeds the maximum dose of methylmercury that the EPA calls “safe.” 7% of students surveyed reported eating more than 20 meals a week that contained tuna, and the tests on their hair revealed mercury that rose to “a level of concern.”

Wow. I mean, that’s a lot of tuna.

This salad is the only reason I got out of bed today

A post shared by HannahEats (@hannaheatingfood) on

The lead researcher was inspired to conduct the study after hearing her students talk about how much tuna they ate.

“I’ve been dumbfounded when students have told me they eat tuna every day. Their lack of knowledge about the risk of exposure to mercury is surprising.”

Over 99% of the study participants reported low knowledge and low confidence in their survey answers regarding the potential danger and toxicity of tuna – they thought it was safe to eat 2 or 3 times the amount of tuna deemed “safe” (which is just two to three servings per week).

“It’s not a large sample size, but only 1 out of 107 students surveyed had a high level of knowledge as well as confidence in that knowledge.”

The kids in the study hadn’t yet reached alarming levels of mercury exposure, but they were at a point where it was recommended that they limit what they were eating.

The team worked with UCSC administrators and the dining hall to put up signs that will hopefully educate students about how much tuna to eat in the future.

And now you know.
