Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

The green eggs one looks absolutely disgusting and that's with a professional food photographer.

way to disrespect white culture everyone xp

my bad it's only 140C that's a totally efficient and normal temperature for HEATING UP YOGURT FOR 5 MINUTES

behold the opening line from today's inane garbage article Beware the smart toaster: 18 tips for surviving the surveillance age

on the internet, the adage goes, nobody knows you’re a dog. That joke is only 15 years old, but seems as if it is from an entirely different era.

motherfucker that joke is twenty-five human years old as even a cursory googling would reveal, jesus christ buck up your ideas grauniad writers and/or subs

top tip: pour your yogurt into an old padded envelope and simply cook it in the toaster

My bad, it's the book it's from that's called Magic Soup, although yoghurt-in-the-oven is the cover photo

Kate Adams has been immersed in healthy food since an early age. Her parents helped to launch the original Vegeburger and Kate worked in health publishing for 10 years. She was responsible for hits such as Gillian McKeith's You are What you Eat and Tiger Aspects Cook Yourself Thin. Depressed by her expanding waistline, Kate Adams set out to lose weight and keep it off for good. Six months later and over two stone lighter she decided to share her experience by setting up the Flat Tummy Club.

Am slightly suspicious of this claim abt an 'original' vegeburger tbh.

ur-burger

When I used to live in London this hippy yank guy called Greg Sams I once did some work for, claimed he patented the first vegeburger. But he was a total bs merchant.

In this interview, Gregory Sams, author of 'Sun of GOd' provides fascinating insights into the meaning of our closest star -- the Sun. Gregory proposes that far from being just a meaningless ball of plasma, the Sun is an aware and conscious entity. Is this why so many ancient civilizations from the Sumerians, to the Egyptians, Mayans, Aztecs, Celts and Native Americans revered and worshiped the sun as a god? Gregory's ideas may seem radical, but up until 2,000 years ago, this was a widespread perspective throughout the world.

i like the cut of this fella's jib tbh

As Gregory Sams awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into the inventor of the first vegeburger

He was a bit of a boastful name-dropping arse, chiming on about he was friends with Lennon blah blah, 1st macrobiotic restaurant blah blah.

Nigella's version of that recipe is called Turkish Eggs, it is fucking delicious.

i'm getting almost overwhelming asmr vibes from that video

lol at nickb's kafka rewrite

LOOOOOOL someone I know works with Greg Sams rn and let’s just say she doesn’t see what’s wrong with Stuff David Icke Says. I dread having to hear her opinion on That Mural tbh.

any numpt that thinks a gigantic ball of hydrogen/helium is a deity is not to be trusted on anything imo.

that's Ra-cist

lol, apart from him!

lol noods :D

The Guardian view on B-sides

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/apr/12/ultra-processed-truth-10-bestselling-foods-cherry-bakewell-fray-bentos-pies

This is my least favourite article that I’ve seen in the Guardian for a while. The uncritical acceptance of the opening sentence As the saying goes: if your granny wouldn’t have recognised what’s in it, it’s probably not real food. intensely annoys me, and it just gets worse from there.

I hope they publish a response from someone like Ruby Tandoh or Anthony Warner.

that sentence is one of my biggest pet peeves because there's a certain... I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "casual racism," but a certain thoughtlessness to it. namely, that the hypothetical granny probably wouldn't recognize food from almost anywhere else in the world

(I realize I say "____ is one of my biggest pet peeves" about once a week, but this one really does bother me. see also "it's full of CHEMICALS!")

oh wait, never mind, here's the casual racism: A gold star for anyone who knows how surimi is made.

at least it wasn't 'a gold star for anyone who knows how gefilte fish is made' i guess

damn

I love at least half of the stuff in that list but tbf I'm not a middle class wanker

The editorial backing bombing the Syrian government is terrible.

At least the Mail doesn’t wrap their banging of the war drums up in evasion and appalling, meandering prose.

You UKers are lucky, at least you don't have Brigid Delaney in your edition. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/series/brigid-delaneys-diary

Oh dear, that wasn't good

AusGuardian articles do little to dispel the idea that nobody there can write beyond a high-school level (or if they can, they emigrate).

oh yeah, i saw a brigid delaney piece linked from the front page of the grauniad yesterday and it was stunningly poor - still not quite entirely sure what it was about other than she missed a gig because russell crowe tweeted at her? classic polly filla stuff

She was also responsible for the masterful cockup referenced here, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/thezenpagan/2017/01/welcome-to-tiny-train-world/

ok which of you buggers is this ?

Not impressed. Calls himself an obsessive but only goes to 50 gigs a year.

since clicking on that link, every time i open the app it takes me to that page. so yes my guardian app is definitely worse than it used to be.

sorry!
