    Is this a good enough excuse to push iodized salt? Yes it is.

    If you’re the kind of person who is only using kosher, himalayan, or any other fancy salts, you should really include an iodized variant in your home as well. You only need a small pinch of it per day. Companies started including iodine in their salt for good reason - people were dying of iodine deficiency. Iodine is not easy to get naturally from food, especially if you live in a northern region.

    But because there was a fad for those other fancy salts, we’re seeing a resurgence of iodine deficiencies and hypothyroidism. Do not skip on the stuff, it’s an essential nutrient!

    And bonus points for blood pressure health if you opt for potassium-based salt substitutes.

      Specially important for people on a plant based diet, as most good sources of iodine in food are from animals (eggs, liver, milk, seafood). So using iodine salt is a very simple alternative.

        Even without iodized salt it’s easy to get iodine on a plant-based diet, it just comes down to adding a small amount of some kind of seaweed each day, dulse flakes being a good choice.

        But iodized salt is simpler, cheaper, more available, so that’s usually my default.

            It was in mine, for a while. Like with the salt, the iodine levels in seaweed are generally so high that only a tiny amount is necessary. In some dishes I couldn’t taste it at all, and in others it would add a subtle seafood quality to the dish. It’s often a key ingredient in mock seafoods.

            If you’re somebody who is extremely committed to the ‘whole’ in whole foods, it’s the defacto choice. Otherwise it’s just nice to have more options.

    The other one in this episode about Jimmy not using the cash register because he could do the math in his head could have a similar response. Typically POS machines log what is sold for inventorying and stuff.

    And as all my chemistry classes taught: if there’s a common name for something just use that. “Table salt” is completely acceptable as a term. As is “Vinegar” and “Water”. When the exact source/concentration/purity begins to matter is when you can use your fancy terms.

    i know it’s funny out of context, but i get the feeling theres people who have seen this meme and agree that jimmy neutron is a prick, and i just have to point out that A. jimmy is a child, B. its a comedy show, and C. the scene is showing how the manager dude doesnt understand jimmy at all and is showing how Jimmy isnt fitting in at the burger joint despite his best efforts

      Absolutely. He’s not a prick. He’s an annoying little shit and there is a big difference between the two. One is within his control. The other is just because he’s too earnest and smart for his own good. Something you’ve gotta more tolerate than anything else because playing that down and making him feel like shit is just going to end up having him turn into a fat gay man who posts too many memes and has no life wait what was I saying?

      You always hoped he would end up under a shit sandwich. Just like everyone at least once has hoped the road runner would hit wall on the fake tunnel picture.

    I got so mad when he didn’t use the register buttons. Like, bro! You still gotta do that for inventory and record keeping!
