    The article title is literally “Should I Brush My Teeth Before or After Breakfast?” starting with this exact sentence:

    "Brushing before you eat breakfast is better for your tooth enamel and overall oral health. However, if you prefer brushing after you eat, wait about 30-60 minutes."

    With the first follow-up header: “Why it may be better to brush before breakfast”.

    Are we not reading the same article or are you trolling me and am I going for that bait…?

    Well, I have been doing this for a couple of years now. I brush my teeth before eating in the morning because apparently that’s better for your teeth, otherwise you might damage enamel. Or you wait for at least 30-60 minutes, but nobody’s got time for that. Just rinsing with water after eating is fine.

    Truth is I usually don’t eat breakfast, so I don’t have to think about it. But when I do, it’s this order for me now.







  • No you’re not, but to dismiss that your actions still have influence on other people/systems is short-sighted.

    Once more, it’s fine if you eat meat. You don’t have to consciously manage other people’s expectations. But just know that you automatically do. Buying meat is supporting the future production of meat, that’s all.


  • They would stop doing it commercially. You are free to kill a pig and eat it, so are other people. Or trade it, but that’s again economics.

    Mass production of meat is a luxury that would never have this scale if people had to find, raise and slaughter pigs themselves.

    You supporting mass production of meat is paying to raise, kill and consume pigs. Which is still fine in our society, just see it as it is.

    Yes, but they only pay those people if they expect to make a profit by selling the end product to you. You are one of the people who make it worthwhile to set up a chain of payments like that.

    If they do not expect you (or other people) to buy the meat, they won’t pay those people to raise / kill the pigs.

    Whether it’s you this time or someone else doesn’t matter. As long as there is a demand by end consumers they will continue. If no-one buys it they stop, it’s that simple.

    You’re part of the group that enables this dynamic and your money goes to paying those people. It’s fine if you like meat, just don’t deny this basic logic.


  • They wouldn’t kill, or even raise the pig if they didn’t count on the money down the chain. We indirectly but surely pay for pigs to be created / killed, for our consumption.

    It’s fine if you don’t care about that or accept it as your standards, that’s your choice and fair in our current social context. Just realize the economics behind it.



  • I think it has something to do with needing more oxygen, just like doing push-ups will help and so will running around or even just stopping your breathing for ~30 seconds. Your body will eventually go into a higher alert state.

    It just helps for a short bit though, when you relax your nasal passage does too and blocks all again.
