Hard to take your comment seriously when you immediately use a phrase like "virtue signal" and infer that everyone stating this desire is disingenuous.
"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does." - Shane MacGowan, Melody Maker interview 1991
At the risk of sounding pedantic but also not being a meat eater, is there a difference between steak and ground beef? Because steak is mentioned twice in this article (in the headline and once in the body), but the actual chart shows ground beef. This is in no way a defense of Lucky Charms (although they are magically delicious), but I was always of the perhaps false belief that steak is healthier than ground beef?
Just picked up a copy earlier in the week, so I will have to get back to you on this particular text, but I am an avid Graeber reader. If you enjoyed "Bullshit Jobs" and the beginning of "The Dawn of Everything," I would suggest putting "Debt: The First 5000 Years" and "The Utopia of Rules" on your future reading list. The Anarchist Library also has a great collection of his writings here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/david-graebe...

There are several eateries in my city utilizing them to great effect for menus and ordering as they have pivoted to outdoor and no-touch dining. And now that I have finally embraced them on this level, I notice and use them more: flyers around town, links to video tutorials on products I have purchased, local printed media, etc.
I think there is a parallel here with the old saying, "you have your whole life to write your first record and then six months to write your second.” Similar to the Showtime shows you mentioned, I would apply this to the first season of HBO's "True Detective." Spectacular first season in which I got the sense the writer put in everything he had collected in his head his whole life, and then a rushed second season due to its success.
