Japan's major food groups...

  Fuck.
Well, shit, that's my daily breakfast...
- No, it's your daily breakpfast.
- Coffee is a critical component of that breakfast. It’s the only way you’re going to shit after eating eggs and white rice for breakfast everyday.
I guess I’m half man, half prehistoric tree matter
My wife always exclusively buys the cheapest coffee she can get.
I joke with her by telling her that this is the coffee that ten year children sweep off the floor of coffee warehouses
Now is it just the coffee bean or espresso bean too, or do they bunch both into coffee?
I won't be surprised to find out everything we eat to have PFAS in them.
- What's the difference between a coffee bean and an espresso bean? I was under the impression that espresso is just a way to brew coffee beans.
  
  You are correct. There is no difference. The two main bean types are robusta and arabica. You can make espresso with anything. Now, bags branded as espresso are generally roasted a bit darker, as espresso using light roasts is less common traditionally, but you can still make espresso with light roasts.
  
  There are two primary varieties of beans, arabica beans and robusta. An expresso bean (arabica) is generally darker (roasted longer) with more visible oil.
- Pretty sure PFAs are in rainwater and nearly every surface level water source or unconfined aquifer. So yeah nearly everything gets exposed to them.
Enjoy your breakfast, America!
- Boy am I glad this didn't happen anywhere else in the world.
  SMH
  
  Well, the American company Dupont is to blame for this, but they managed to to fuck the whole world.
  
  This is the community for American news, so...
- the last time I had white rice for breakfast was when I ran out of two day old cold pizza.
  I bet spam is like 5% pfas
  
  Then you've never had a good breakfast burrito.
Who cares. Even gods die.
- I care about suffering. Also, gods have to live in order to die.
  
  Exactly. My daughter will die one day. I vote and protest for climate friendly policies because I want her to die of old age instead of starvation due to widespread famine.
