Oh no, meara! My co-worker lost his voice almost a month ago (I think it was originally strep but that was treated successfully) and still hasn't gotten it back. I hope your throat thing is not so long lasting or mysterious!
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I do tend to just chop up apples to cook with my oatmeal, but I am not going to hesitate to eat applesauce ever.

Maybe some applesauce is ultra-processed with added sugar or something? Like peanut butter

I'm a bit irritated with the number of otherwise yummy recipes that seem to require cilantro. I'm one of those for whom cilantro tastes like soap, so it's quite discouraging.

I cannot leave her alone for more than a few minutes or she starts wailing.
Aw, poor nugget. I'm glad she has you now.
But this article -- which was in The BMJ, a high-impact medical journal -- called applesauce an ultra-processed food, and the whole study really lost some credibility with me.
Yeah, because of Maintenance Phase, I'll be nodding along when it sounds reasonable until I hit the record-scratch moment and realize it's just sparkling orthorexia.

Shit, that's exactly it. I didn't even think of it that way, but it totally is.
And the downside to the ludicrous decision to call applesauce an ultra-processed food is that, if I'm comparing apple(sauce) to oranges, and fucking applesauce is a Big Bad Ultraprocessed Food, then fuck it; I'm going to get a sausage and egg McMuffin instead, because it's ultra-processed, too, and if they're both evil, then I'm getting the one that is the best breakfast sandwich ever (voted on by: me), and not just apple ground into a paste.
How fucking stupid.
(I'm not really getting a McMuffin, but you see where following this "logic" ends up. I actually love oatmeal like the old lady I am, so I'm going to keep eating it and keep tempting early death by putting applesauce in it.) (For fuck's sake, it's not like I'm stirring buttercream frosting into my oatmeal. What the fuck.) (I feel very strongly about applesauce, apparently.)

Sounds like the time I was reading some article about nutrition and the guy called grapes "Nature's candy." Fuck you, dude, I'm eating grapes if I want to, and I might even put cottage cheese on them.

This is a fantastic phrase. I'm going to keep it in my head.
I remember seeing nutrition "advice" about avoiding carrots, because "they're full of sugar". I rolled my eyes hard.

Sadly not.
