isn't mayo just egg and oil whipped?

I think it is, but they either may use a different proportion or add
spices or sugar. It definitely tasted different than the regular
Hellman's or whatever brand locally in the US.

It's kind of eye opening to see how many different preservatives and chemicals are added to US foodstuffs in comparison to the same items in other countries.

if we didn't have preservatives people would cry about the higher prices and how their food would spoil.

I live in a rural area. All of my waste water goes into a septic tank.
So I don't have a garbage disposal simply because I don't think it's a
good idea (jmo). I haven't ever had a garbage disposal in my sink. Maybe
I'm just a hick? Or not the usual domesticate.

Just wondering, if that stuff would clog up your drain - what would it do
to your arteries? Just like Andy Rooney. Didja ever wonder why...

i wonder if it causes a lot of problems with wastewater treatment systems.
from what i looked up, it's no bueno for septic systems or even city waste treatment plants.

it's just better to compost and composting can be fun. just go in the back yard and make a compost pile.

disposal, if possible. If only one basin, put your silverware to the side of the sink or in some kind of rack or basket.

People like them just like they like anything that makes things/life easier, when used properly.

That could very well be because now they're owned by Whirlpool. That seems to happen quite a bit.

Local homegrown company does real good, owners/boards sell it off for huge profit to a big umbrella company that doesn't give a shit about their product or their people, etc. Company takes a dive.. ;)

well it was owned by emmerson for quite a while. emmerson does tons of stuff.
i worked pt at a foundry on the weekends for an emmerson plant in s milwaukee. they made castings for electrical boxes,etc.

Makes dishes and cleanup easier for the people that do use it. Not using them is always a choice, too.

i just scrape it in the trash. for doing dishes i put some orange zepp in and let it soak and that gets my plates super squeaky clean.

I have this same setup... dual sinks with 1 insinkerator. In 20 years
it has never clogged up although the motor finally died last year and I had to replace it. I always run LOTS of water when I use it though.

My mom's plumbing must have been janky, maybe it had just enough bends
to slow the works down...

Insinkerator. heh - I replaced my disposal recently and looked around for the identical Insinkerator so I didn't have to change the sink collar.

I'm lazy that way, I'll spend an hour looking for an identical smoke
detector if I can re-use the mounting bracket. :)

I just replaced mine last year... I think it was an Insinkerator IIRC.

heheh... I've never done that but I am waiting for my 14 yr old grandson to do it... that's right up his alley.

A lot of the drama regarding food preservation is done because of security concerns.

To be honest, most food can be canned using plain water, salt and a high preasure environment, but typically some regulatory body will demand your canned cucumbers get preserved in an acid environment at X PH and with Y concentration of salt - in order to prevent pathogens from growing in the food. At that point you pretty much need to add acidity correctors and other extras to the food because it would taste like lightning otherwise.

A whole lot of chemo in food does not make much sense, on the other hand.

You could have food distributed without preservatives in many cases, but people would need to switch their mentality regarding canned and vaccuum sealed food. We'd have to go back to the late 19th century days, in which you had to actually boil your canned food before it was remotely safe to eat. That's just not going to happen.

We all realized the viral cesspools of death that are BALL PITS.

Funny how we sometimes have or do something for so long (such as ball pits) and then suddenly a lot of people complain about it and they end up gone. Recently I've been seeing a good number of people saying they think cruse ships are similar cesspools of death due to germs/viruses. That may have started with covid though.. Around early 2020, I seem to remember hearing in the news that cruise ships were being quarantined in case anyone on the ships had covid.

I've been on a couple cruises, and I doubt there would be much significant increased risk of getting sick. I'd think jet airplanes are worse, since they're a closed and sealed environment.

Cruises were notorious for norovirus and other transmittable nasties
long before covid. Trump not wanting a ship with COVID cases dock in
2020 because it might "mess with the numbers" didn't help.

I guess that's true, they'd have to bring in fresh air somehow. I imagined that would be hard to do though, since jet airplanes fly at an altitude where the atmosphere is thin, and any opening would basically suck anything out.

environment.

While they are pressurized, they still bring in fresh air through vents in the cabin.

They use compressed air thru the engines intake what stages I can't remember also do the same with the auxillary power unit apu. The air is taken in the aircraft and fed thru a system called packs. There are redundant systems on a aircraft like two packs in case one fails.

Apparently Americans used to incinerate their food waste, so that makes sense: https://wasatchresourcerecovery.com/do-you-incinerate-the-food-waste-no/

But never in my lifetime has my family regularly incinerated waste of any kind, so the pun while cute is probably lost on most people.
