For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don’t add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.

But at least you can always add more salt lol

    Eating too much salt is not healthy and throwing spicy peppers when the one that are going to eat don’t handle spicy is just being an asshole tbh.

      It’s normal when I’m making fucking chili Susan! And there’s a difference between too much salt and adding the appropriate amount of salt.

      And research has shown that the most effective way to not have problems with too much sodium in the blood/high blood pressure is to drink more fucking water.

      And the person that complains to me about the salt levels in my food? A) didn’t pay for the fucking food and B) drinks 12 fucking diet Dr peppers a day because “they are healthier.” So fuck em!

        As someone with dietary gout I’d say be careful what you wish for. You can suffer for a long time, non-mortal, with loads of fucking useless pain.

          Gout is largely genetic. You can eat like shit and have all the gout-y foods you want if you’re not genetically predisposed to it. Your point still stands though. I don’t have first-hand experience thankfully, but being fat and out of shape, diabetic, etc., etc., etc., does not look fun.

          No offense to you of course, but it just looks miserable from the outside.

            Thanks doctor, but in my case it isn’t genetic. Now go be a doctor somewhere else please with your 5-minute Googly knowledge. Fucker.

              Your position goes against extensive, well-documented medical research. The reality is that contemporary studies have identified numerous genetic markers directly linked to even secondary (or “dietary”) gout. It’s nearly impossible to have gout without some genetic predisposition. When secondary gout occurs it’s secondary to disease or medication, not diet – this is part of why is it’s referred to as secondary gout rather that dietary gout in contemporary literature on the topic. Yes, diet can impact flare-ups, but attributing the entire condition to lifestyle choices misses the mark on what actually causes gout at its core.

              Attributing gout solely to diet isn’t just outdated; it’s misleading and contributes to misunderstandings about managing the condition. This is why you end up with people having chronic gout flares, because instead of getting on ameliorative and preventative medication, they’re trying to lower sugar, alcohol, shellfish intake, drink tart cherry juice and whatever else while still suffering from high uric acid. Gout can and will cause permanent joint damage. I’m not going to sit and bicker with you about this. You’re clearly very defensive about it, but you’d likely benefit from an updated perspective and, honestly, maybe a second opinion from a doctor who’s keeping up with current research.

        Cool? The context is cooking for other people, if they don’t think the same as you you are just being an asshole.

          I’m sorry, I wasn’t really thinking about the context, I’m just in a bit of a dark mood at the moment. Thank you for your reply. Much love
