  • Because money.

    When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

    And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

    It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

    I’m not jaded at all. :(





  • I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.

    I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.

    After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.

    That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.

    Sorry for my ignorance.
