Just saw a mom bird feeding her kid at Costco

So I'll admit to something equally weird.

I take my dog with me to get coffee in the morning, and on weekends (especially when hungover), I'll get a breakfast sandwich. Like a greasy sausage egg and cheese on a croissant or english muffin. I'll eat about 90% of it but occassionally give my dog some, and because I'm driving, I usually keep one hand on the wheel and then bite off a small chunk, take it out my mouth with my other hand, and then put it on the backseat for the dog.

Technically I'm pretty much doing the same as this mom, but with my dog.

white kid here, I also had this, but the celery was upgraded to ants on a log.

lol, either you fancy or I was a child of neglect.
 
Anecdotal but my first white friend when I was a little kid used to eat mayo sandwiches. Like thin ass wonderbread with THICK chunks of mayo. Get grossed out thinking of it. Like obviously it's not indicative of anything real but god damn son, you set me up here for a lifetime of jokes breh. I'm sure everyone has those weird one offs though so w/e

black kid here, we were raised on that mustard and cheese on white bread. carrot sticks and celery sticks on the side.

White Australian kid here. We just ate Vegemite straight out of the jar.

Wait, so SecretDan was right?

This thread is a rollercoaster.
 
Why the fuck is this sort of casual racist bullshit tolerated here? I'm not white, but the OP makes me legit uncomfortable.

If someone said that about Asians I'd be pretty pissed.

Notice how this type of stuff is said towards whites more often than not. Stuff like this is said towards white people or members of one's own race.
 
What the fuck is that for racist ass bullshit? Oh I forgot being racist against white people doesn't equal racism, right? Replace white with black and this thread would have had an immense amount more of upset people. Talk about double standards and hypocrisy.

finally someone brave enough to stand up for the poor, oppressed white person. they have suffered for too long!

I don't even understand why people are calling racism on it like...he asks if it's a white people fad so she was white of course. Even if he saw it and she was Asian and said "is this an Asian thing or just some Costco craziness?" would people have called racism on that? I don't feel like they would have?

oh god, it could so totally be. All we need is a magazine article, or Taylor Swift saying she does it because it helps her have better posture.

Cosmo asks: "What shoes to wear to your alleyway poop party?"

Am I nuts or is SecretDan owed an apology for the tacit accusations of being racist, and all the ban baiting that we saw on the previous page?

This thread is ridiculous and really shows a double standard. I don't see why anyone is associating things with race and I'm not sure why it's being tolerated. We should be working to remove this shit from society, not taking petty jabs.

Cmon, dont give Costco a bad rep like that, be honest and say you went to Walmart, there is no shame and the story would be more believable. ;)

Premastication

It's incredibly common in non Western societies, especially hunter/gatherers and indigenous populations.

In the time before industrially-produced baby food puree, how do you think infants transitioning to eating solid foods ate?

How old is this kid? It's not that uncommon a practice.



Scientists are rethinking that bacteria transfer thing in general. We're over-sterilized and useful bacteria is not getting to kids.

Yep definitely not uncommon even now and not bad for children either, and it was common in all human societies until recently

That's how you pass on cavities to your kids btw. Food that's meant for your child should never go anywhere near your own mouth.

This is entirely dependent on your own propensity to get cavities and your own oral microflora makeup. You could just as easily innoculate your kids against getting acid forming varieties of Streptococcus Mutans, or pass on other bacteria which keep S. Mutans in check if you have good teeth. A mouth isn't a sterile place, there is always going to be some sort of bacteria living there.

What's the double standard? Did you take a look at my red Lobster link earlier?
 
Yes, us whites are always going nuts for that pre-chewed food, when we're not discovering things like penicillin. You're welcome world, now spit in my mouth.

Louie Pasteur's groundbreaking work on vaccinations could not have been done without his daily dallop of pre-eaten mayonaise and Sunchips from momma bird Pasteur.

I was seeing this more as a "rich fashion mod parents trying anything new and fashionable and alternative like placenta eating" stereotype being pretty blatantly on display. OP asked if it was a white thing, that wasn't the basis for the thread. Most of us are just grossed out. And amused. And shading this new paleofuture motherhood stuff.
