Speaking of vegetable-laden monstrosities... I now approach the end of this series by turning to the worst offender of all: the California "pizza": California-style pizza? Cultural annihilation masquerading as culinary innovation. These West Coast frauds…
Finally... Ah, Neapolitan pizza - the alpha and omega of true pizza. Born in the streets of Naples, perfected over generations, it stands as a testament to the power of simplicity and tradition. That perfect crust - thin in the center, puffed and charred at the edges - is a work of art unto itself. Crafted from nothing more than flour, water, salt, and wild yeast, it's a canvas worthy of the culinary masterpiece it supports.
And those toppings! San Marzano tomatoes, their sweetness kissed by the Vesuvian sun. Mozzarella di bufala, so fresh it weeps whey onto the sauce. Perhaps a leaf or two of fragrant basil. This is pizza in its purest, most exalted form - no gimmicks, no unnecessary flourishes, just the perfect balance of flavors that has stood the test of time.
Every bite is a revelation, a direct connection to centuries of Neapolitan craftsmanship. It is the standard by which all other pizzas must be judged, and invariably found wanting. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a UNESCO-recognized cultural treasure, Neapolitan pizza remains undefeated. It is, quite simply, pizza as it was meant to be - the first, the finest, and the forever champion of the pizza world.

Your culinary ignorance is as vast as the ocean of subpar sauce drowning your pitiful excuse for pizza. You dare blaspheme against perfection while worshipping at the altar of mass-produced monstrosities?
Those leopard spots you blindly criticize are the mark of pizza perfection, seared into our canvas by the fires of tradition and expertise. Each char is a testament to millennia of artistry, unlike the pale, lifeless discs you call pizza - clearly baked in the lukewarm embrace of corporate mediocrity.
Our sauce is the lifeblood of Naples, the essence of sun-ripened San Marzano tomatoes. We don't need to commit crimes against nature by drowning our masterpieces in seas of corn syrup and seed oil abominations. Your sauce is an affront to tomatoes everywhere, a witch's brew of chemicals that would make even the most shameless food scientist blush.
The mozzarella di bufala gracing our creations is the pinnacle of dairy perfection, while your cheese is the petrified drool of malnourished cattle. Our cheese dances on the tongue; yours limps across the palate like a wounded soldier retreating from the battlefield of flavor.
And the basil! Oh, the basil. It's not a mere herb, you flavor-blind philistine. It's the verdant soul of our pizza, the aromatic whisper of the Mediterranean breeze. Your taste buds, bludgeoned into submission by years of culinary abuse, are clearly incapable of detecting nuance more subtle than a punch to the face.
Neapolitan pizza isn't just food. It's the Platonic Form of Pizza itself, the perfect, immutable ideal from which all lesser pizzas are but shadowy imitations. Our pizza exists in the realm of pure culinary Forms, while yours lurks in the dark recesses of the culinary cave, a mere flickering shadow of what pizza ought to be. Ours is the pizza that pizza itself dreams of becoming, the Ur-Pizza that has descended from the noumenal realm to grace our mortal palates.
Your pizza, in comparison, is a culinary war crime that should be tried at The Hague. It has no right to call itself pizza, no right to exist in a world where true pizza has been perfected. It is an insult to flour, to yeast, to the very concept of circular food. May your taste buds one day revolt against the tyranny of mediocrity you force upon them, and may they lead you out of the dim cave of culinary ignorance. Perhaps then you'll glimpse the radiant disk of true pizza perfection, its cornicione a glowing ring of enlightenment, its center a molten pool of wisdom. In that moment of divine revelation, as the scales fall from your eyes and the blessed warmth of real pizza touches your lips, you might finally understand the eternal truth of Neapolitan pizza – and weep for the wasted years you spent in darkness.

Who invented this? I'm no longer a pacifist.
It is only in profound moral crises that perspicacious men find out what values truly constitute them. My experience inclines me to the belief that men in general live their lives through without find- ing out who or what they really are. We think we are courageous when we are cowards, honest when we are cheats and thieves, truthful and generous when we are liars and pigs, and self-respect- ing in spite of the high coefficient of pliability of our moral spines. But whether we men are actors or are somehow protected from the mirror that would show us ourselves, this I know: that we fight desperately and bitterly against the knowledge of what we truly are, barring no holds and giving no quarter. It takes a crisis to reveal to us what values we truly espouse, and even that is often not enough, for each of us has his system of jujitsu for disposing quietly of bothersome truths.

Life without prejudice, were it ever to be tried, would soon reveal itself to be a life without principle. For prejudices ... are often build-in principles. They are the extract which the mind has made of experience. Try to imagine a man setting out for a day without a single prejudice. Let us suppose that he has "confessed" his prejudices in the manner of confessing sins and has decided to start next morning with a fresh mind as the sinner would start with a new soul. The analogy is false. Inevitably he would be in a state of paralysis. He could not get up in the morning, or choose his necktie, or make his way to the office, or conduct his business affairs, or, to come right down to the essence of the thing, even maintain his identity. What he does in actuality is arise at his arbitrary 7:15, select the necktie which he is prejudiced in favor of, set off relatively happy with his head full of unreasoned judgment, conduct a successful day's business and return home the same man he was, with perhaps a mite or two added to his store of wisdom

There's so much in this article...
First, apparently this is a soda with dietary fiber in it. I am confounded and disgusted by this notion.
Second, zoomer faggot on the left claims that it's "illegal" to drink two of them in a day. He inferred this because they made him have watery poops. Add "illegal" to the list of words zoomers don't understand.
Third, the "expert" on the right claims that the reason Americans have diabetes and heart disease is because they don't get enough fiber.
Fiber is now for rich people. All Daily Poor subscribers are to get less than 10g of fiber per day

I think the poor pill also includes a modesty about the scope of our own agency, which is both terrifying and freeing, because we are still accountable for what we do with our smallness
