Thankfully I was spared the rants about gay propaganda from my brother and his girlfriend this time but instead they would talk about nothing but their weight loss goals and especially their diet. I got to hear about how you get more nutrients from spinach if you put it in a smoothie than if you eat it raw and about how microwave produces radiation that makes eating the food you cook in it dangerous and of course everything they eat needs to have "organic" stamped on it or it's poison.

I also found out that my brother now has a second job and his girlfriend still does nothing all day but I couldn't say anything because I do the same thing and I would feel like a hypocrite if I said something about it (I'm waiting to see if I got accepted to a new school on a part-time basis because after going on and off medical leave several times I've finally accepted that the full-time thing just isn't going to work with my health problems).

Oh god, not the Microwave People. That's one of the dumbest nutbar beliefs out there.

The spinach thing seems like a misinterpretation of a real thing, but it's a real thing with pharmaceuticals and not food. Liquid medications are broken down, and thus act, faster, which is preferable for some things. But you're not looking for an immediate effect from spinach, so it doesn't really matter. Your body will get to the vitamins soon enough.

I actually burst out laughing when she brought up the microwave thing.

Need an answer for the microwave/EMF/tinfoil hatters in your life? Behold, the difference between non-ionizing (microwave, cell towers) radiation and ionizing radiation (nuclear bombs, X-rays):

http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/index.html

The thing I always found hilarious about the anti-microwave people was how happy they tend to be to stick themselves inside a freaking MRI (like waaaaaaaaaaay more ionizing radiation than a regular X-ray though those aren't the best thing to be repeatedly exposed to either), in order to justify whatever hypochondriac nonsense they've dreamed up that they have.

Ugh, the microwave thing. My boyfriend's folks use the microwave that came with their kitchen as a spice cabinet because they're afraid to use it to heat food. It boggles the mind.

...Shit, you just know that, some day, someone is going to turn that thing on by accident.

And it will be a disaster.

They probably have it unplugged.

I don't think so, because the clock still works.

Make sure they know that leaving appliances plugged in when you're not using them still uses electricity, so it's a waste. And if they get their electricity from nuclear power, their spices are being bathed in radiation. Also there are microwave fairies that live in outlets and don't like it when microwaves are used as spice racks so they come out at night and whisper curses in your ear that slowly melts your brain and makes you have bad dreams about cheese. When they ask where you heard this you can say a very important scientist on the internet told you.

You are one of my favorite people on this comm.

omg *blush* ty

Literal LOL. Thanks, brah!

I'm glad you're amused :'D <3

My usual response to Microwave people is "you use phones and computers, medical scanning devices, and live under the sun - you really think you're somehow escaping radiation by not using a microwave?" :P

Glad to see you're at least spared the propaganda? :)
