Bone Broth Mania

the autism thing goddamn won't go away

i mean obviously something environmentally or whatever-wise could be causing increased autism but i do strongly believe that a big factor in autism's "rise" is diagnosis.

there were totally people in my school growing up that were very austistic, i was from a small town and there wasn't much in the way of school mental health and they were just considered like "oh that's derek he's weird and remembers what year everyone's parents graduated high school" but i never heard the word austistic until years later

i have a coworker who is an idiot and has a friend who sells her on all these quacky nutrition theories and she told me "i'm making bone broth this weekend because i'm getting sick." i just kind of stared.

we were at a race/kid's park Halloween party thing a couple of weekends ago and one of the sponsors was selling "osteobroth," which they touted as being made from chicken bones and tasting just like chicken broth!

At which point I started gibbering with incoherent rage until I blacked out.

i feel like some of her questions are so stupid that whenever i respond to them i am being condescending so i just kept "hi broth is always made from bones what are you talking about and what diseases do you have that it is curing" to myself

one week she kept carrying around a container of water with sliced cucumbers and lemons in it and said "it detoxes you" X(

You should tell her to turn that stock into a lovely soup.

I just made two batches of "bone broth" (chicken and beef) to prep for surgery.

Not because I think it is going to make me any more resilient/help me heal faster, just because I think it counts as a clear liquid and I think it will taste good when I can't eat :(

Anyway, I am down with bone broth. I would definitely make it if I felt I were coming down with a cold, why because hot salty beefy liquid taste good.
