@iiiitsandrea @sportdrink I love the company Masa but $15 for chips is insane.
English

spotted @sportdrink and
the seed oil free/tallow section


Andrea@iiiitsandrea
Laurel Supply is the latest hypebeast grocer to open in LA. They literally outbougie’d Erewhon 😂
English

@DKayjer @sportdrink Chips are made with tallow both masa and the one above
English

@iiiitsandrea @sportdrink There exists a seed oil free/tallow section. Nature is truly healing.

I made a sports geography game where you're asked to pinpoint locations of 5 questions. I'd appreciate if you gave it a shot

Jannik Sinner is putting together one of the best dominant runs of all-time...and it's hardly being covered. He's the first player ever to...
- Win 5 straight 1,000 events
- Win the Sunshine Double without dropping a set
- Win a 1,000 final in less than an hour
- Win 32 straight matches (will be true if he makes the semis in Rome)
If he wins in Rome, he'll join Djokovic as the only players ever to win all nine 1,000 events
Lastly, Zverev is right. Sinner has completely separated himself from Alcaraz. He won their last 2 matches without dropping a set

@seanjagermann @eatboldbar I’m here for it. Time for the slop to go

If Natural Flavors were banned, you wouldn't believe how many of your favorite foods would disappear from stores.
It’s the CPG industry's sneaky way to hide 1000+ crap ingredients in products without disclosing it.
@eatboldbar is proud to have none.
Is it finally time to ban?

The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years.
You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60.
The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny.
That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade.
You have to FIGHT to find real bread.
FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath.
FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain.
FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil.
FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial.
Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52.
Somehow this is "progress."
The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management.
Doritos in your kid's lunchbox.
Lipitor in his lunchbox 30 years later.
Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep.
The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive:
> Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments.
> Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing).
> Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find.
> Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed.
> Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending.
> Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients.
What to delete from the cart entirely:
> Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings)
> Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower
> Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA
> Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit)
> Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies)
The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works:
> Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week.
> Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts.
> Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print.
> Skip protein bars. A boiled egg + an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80.
The system is engineered to keep you a customer.
Opt out.

@MeatiesCereal @iiiitsandrea Thanks, yea I think putting that on the site would be helpful.
FWIW the taste is solid but I’d rather just eat steak.
English

Dang, we’re sorry that the sizing of the box didn’t come across! We don’t want to mislead anyone’s expectations and will make some adjustments to the site to try and clarify that more.
As for what the boxes cost, it’s a sad reality we deal with that our base ingredient (🐄) is about 83X more expensive per pound than that of most cereals (🌽). We do all we can to provide a MUCH more nutritious cereal for less than 83X the cost of a regular breakfast cereal.
English

@iiiitsandrea @MeatiesCereal Tastes good. Did it for r/d purposes
English

@darin_alpert @MeatiesCereal I would’ve checked their socials before buying a $14 cereal

@drterrysimpson Salmon works great in the gym, the airport with your kids, and in your backpack, eh?
English

I'd choose neither. Most don't need extra protein that has the same flavor as sawdust and tossed in with those ingredients they eschew when talking about other foods - but somehow say it is from "grass fed whey" it is ok. Why are "real food ingredients" now defined by the people who make them. Want a protein bar - try some salmon.
Paul Saladino, MD@paulsaladinomd
Which would you choose?

@iiiitsandrea You should interview a real in the trenches CPG operator who is Philly based. Nick is the real real

We just cooked the protein bar industry. 🔥
Most are candy bars in disguise: seed oils, gums, fake sweeteners, sugar.
Not @eatlineage.
New Protein Bar:
<200 cal
20g grass-fed whey + collagen
100% real food—no BS
Tastes incredible

having a beautiful dedicated home office is an absolute game changer.
a place that's comfortable af where the setup is dialed to a tee.. immaculate large desk for both computer use & writing/thinking, art on the walls, inspirational books on the shelf, a keyboard that's pure butter, a rug that ties the room together, studio displays, a cool couch with a tv for conference calls among other things.
a beautiful space matters so damn much to me. maybe i'll post a pic of it.
English

@darin_alpert He doesn’t care because his goal isn’t to help give a healthy option, it’s to make a bag
He had the resources to make David incredible and chose not to
That’s why I only give my support to @EquipFoods and @eatprima - they actually give a fuck
English

@WebcraftGallery @nrmehta Deals need champions to sell when you’re not there and have something in it for them personally or deals don’t get done. Seen it a bunch in my 12+ years selling enterprise SaaS
English

@nrmehta been guilty of this with my own saas lmao
always focused on "save X hours" but never thought about how that makes the buyer look good to their boss or even family
maybe i need to focus on this more when im building so i can market it that way

One of the biggest things B2B startups miss is underselling the "personal ROI" to the buyer or user of your technology.
I spent time with a leadership team of a B2B startup yesterday and the topic of demonstrating ROI came up.
We talked about how a natural motion is to convince the buyer about the "business ROI" - e.g.,:
* Reduced costs
* Higher revenue growth
* Increased compliance/security
* etc.
And naturally, users often assess products on "functional ROI" - e.g.,:
* Less effort
* Simpler UX
* Better integrations
* etc.
What I think many founders miss is the opportunity to make sure you're also appealing to the buyer's "personal ROI." What's in it for them as humans?
Humans at work want:
* To get promoted
* To not get fired
* To get home on time
* To feel recognition and pride
* To avoid shame
* etc.
Your products likely help with some or all of the above, but you might be underselling yourself. And ultimately, it's often the "personal ROI" that causes a deal to go from "that's interesting" to "I'm ready to buy."
You have to be subtle about it. It can't be in your slides or on your website. But talk about other customers who use your product and casually mention the ones that got promoted. Create content that appeals to the career ambitions of your clients. Make sure your product includes reports or dashboards that your user can show to their boss to demonstrate the good work that they are doing.
Humans buy software. That is until agents buy software. For now, "personal ROI" is something to consider in your pitch.
