Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Dandelions are actually delicious. I’ve had dandelion tempura before and it was the best.
But yeah, that’s a tempura. Meaning it’s cooked.
No one is going to be eating dandelions raw like they do bananas.
Does a salad count?
Maybe, but the dandelion is still carried due to working with other elements of the salad.
Plus making the salad is still “cooking”, and takes time, as opposed to the seconds it takes to peel a banana.
I’m not anti-dandelion, and it makes sense as part of a balanced diet. But internet point is mainly that it’s not as yummy or convenient as a banana.
Sure, time’s a point for the convenience of bananas, but I’d question the use of “cooking,” as I’d associate the word with applying heat. The raw food movement people still prepare their food, but they don’t “cook” it.
True, but that’s mostly semantics. If you say you cooked a steak or made a salad, you’re still preparing food, and everyone knows what you mean.
