Can somebody explain the "won't eat vegetables" thing? The only place I've heard about this being in issue is in America.

Sugar/bread is easier. We solve this by having a tiered eating system that starts with some salad or veggies, if they don’t eat, they clearly aren’t deathly hungry; dessert is available at the end of the meal if they finish. Note this may require a family eating culture that includes salad et al. With every dinner, which is not the norm in America.

The danger with this pattern is that it encourages overeating - stuff in the vegies so you get dessert as well, and wind up eating way more food than you need.

Another McSweeney's article I love: "MEET OLIVIA! THE COVID-19-ERA AMERICAN GIRL DOLL" https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/meet-olivia-the-covid-19... Almost too close to the eventual truth.

My wife sent me this FAQ the other day: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-faq-about-your-new-bi...

Shout-out to Adams peanut butter which is delicious and has zero sugar.

Some Adams trivia: - It's owned by Smucker's. I normally dislike anything from Smucker's, but Adams is a nice exception. - If you get the giant jar from Costco, the oil separation is a significant issue. There's a simple solution: dump it all into a big mixing bowl (with the help of a silicone spatula), mix it, and pour it back into the jar. I did it last time I bought it and it was worth the 10 minutes I spent. - On…

I've taken to using a using an electric hand mixer directly in the jar. It gets the peanut butter thoroughly mixed very quickly. As one might expect, it can go wrong spectacularly if you aren't careful.

I have two fairly recent models (2016 & 2019) and while I'm generally very satisfied I can't escape the feeling that new models are less of an upgrade and more a random combination of features (and bugs!) from the last gen models already in our household.

No, that was my sister. I was the proof of concept. Management didn't accept that my test results were typical so they kept resourcing development.

Sometimes I think barely viable is a better descriptor for me...:)
