Wow, that ego is like a drug to you isn't it.

I think America should mimic the food habits of whatever countries have the healthiest, fittest people.

Or learn how to adjust their intake to allow them to enjoy food without gaining weight.
Balance.

You should just stop talking all together.

Facts do not have feelings.

My ego has NOTHING to do with speaking the language properly, nor with how the English language has been crafted.

I'd suggest that you have an extremely inflated ego to consider yourself an expert on so much (just as much an expert as bona fide experts, per you), yet get so much wrong.

"Verbatim you will include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL." -Thxone

"Here is the Verbatim quote of this line -
"Now will I question Cassio of Bianca, A huswife that by selling her desires Buys herself bread and clothes." - Shakespeare Act 4 Scene 1" - Thxone

Hmm, you did not include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL, yet you now admit this is a verbatim quote.
And instead of admitting you screwed up LONG ago, you'll continue to argue yourself into a hole even further.
You've been doing it for years.
What happened to you as a child that makes it impossible for you to admit you simply fucked up?

This is your stupidity. From the word "Now" to the period at the end of that line is quoted every word, verbatim. I am sorry that you are to ******* ignorant to pay attention and learn. When someone say every word when talking about a verbatim quote they mean of what you intend to quote you dumb old man. If you want to quote a sentence, quote the ENTIRE SENTENCE for it to be verbatim. Not part of it. If you want to quote an entire book verbatim, then literally copy and paste the entire book and it would be verbatim.

You have made it obvious that nothing is going to drill into your brain that you are dead wrong here and I am not wasting my time trying educate you when your ego won't let you do anything. Please, quote the people you prosecute for fraud and hand it to the judge... tell him it is a verbatim confession or some shit but hand him a recording of what was confessed as well so he can laugh at your dumb ***.

It's a fact that you have no clue how to use the word ironic or what it is to quote something verbatim.

Some of the shit food companies pull should be criminal offenses

***** fat pisses me off. If I posted a graph of my cholesterol numbers, you can see the numbers improve when ***** fat went off the market temporarily. And "they" let ***** fat back on the market despite the fact that heart disease is the number 1 health problem in the US.

Except that the food producers in the US manipulate the system to encourage max consumption, drive down quality, etc.

That would make sense and cut into profits, so that isn't happening.

I fail to see your proof that any definition ANYWHERE says a quote must include every single word from the source, despite your claims that it does.

I also take note that you contradicted your own self-created definition by providing a quote from Othello that was literally just one sentence. And you properly described it as verbatim. And that you were unable to reconcile the contradiction.

I also note that you cannot show ANY reference that says a quote must be sentence-for-sentence, paragraph-for-paragraph, chapter-for-chapter.
The definition YOU shared indicates it is word-for-word.
Every definition in every dictionary says verbatim means word-for-word.

It's really odd that you keep giving us evidence that you think proves us wrong, then when the contradiction is pointed out, you state the evidence you provided is wrong.

"When You Must Cite
Although you should use sources creatively and flexibly to help you generate ideas and sharpen your argument, there are some hard-and-fast rules about when and how some sources should be acknowledged in your project.
1. When you quote two or more words verbatim, or even one word if it is used in a way that is unique to the source"

Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism: When You Must Cite

Wait. How can ONE word POSSIBLY be verbatim, when (by your self-created rule) a verbatim quote must " include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL"?
How can they deny the infinite expertise of Michael the linguist, and teach such gibberish to all those students?!?!

Maybe. But life still boils down to individual choices.
Do we want a nanny state, or do we not?
I vote for not.

Or do we want a nanny state for SOME things, but not others?

The gov allows it, we allow all sorts of bullshit in our food that's banned in other countries, like don't get me started on glyphosate either there's just a whole list of shit they're slowly killing us with

You can't stop people from eating shitty poisonous fake food, because then how is big pharma going to have any sick people to treat? If you take away the food that's making everyone sick and obese, you're gonna take away most of big pharma profits. Even worse is you'd give people self empowerment and we can't have the average person empowered, then the gov couldn't control them with their illnesses...

If people would treat gender dypshoria as a mental illness instead of promoting the mental illness, shit like this could be much more avoided:

The UK has some of the best food practices...most of the food we see on the shelves can't be sold there
