In announcing changes to the school lunches programme, David Seymour said kids would no longer be served ‘woke’ foods. To clear up any confusion, The Spinoff has compiled a guide to the wokeness levels of some common food items.

This is never not appropriate with stories like this.

[-] TheIvoryTower@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 33 points 1 week ago

Except that it isn't.

I was thinking the whole time going through the list that it was satire but then I looked up the website and it appears to be a serious website. They can't actually be serious though right ???

Seymour's idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.

A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Why is there WOKE coming out of your oven, Seymour?

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

I just can't with the dumb anymore. I'm surprised they don't call bananas woke, cause ya know phallic and that gay

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 week ago

I go the complete opposite direction and deepthroat it while cradling some kiwis in my other hand.

[-] antidote101@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Curry is woke! Finally someone said it!

... it's because it's foreign and makes my mouth feel burning. I don't like it. I'm glad someone is finally standing up to this woke nonsense invading our culture!

...holy shit, I was pretending but are these guys just afraid of being colonized? It's like a projection of a fear of being on the other side of the historical fence, a subconscious history they can't acknowledge so it comes out as a fear of foriegn things they don't understand being in control of their "new world"

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah fuck curry! I want real American food, like pizza, or tacos!

[-] antidote101@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes! Or that stuff from 80s movies... That they had at the end of long business meetings: Chinese take out!

So much better than foriegn foods like German Hamburgers or French fries.

Nah: Real American food like freedom fries!

Based on that list; here are two ChatGPT generated meal plans, one for a woke person and one for a not woke person (don't ask about the numbers, it probably can't count):

Woke Meal Plan:

  • Breakfast: Avocado toast with quinoa sprinkles (Approx. 350 calories)

  • Snack: Banana with almond butter (Approx. 200 calories)

  • Lunch: Quinoa salad with chickpeas, mixed greens, and avocado (Approx. 450 calories)

  • Snack: Hummus with carrot sticks (Approx. 150 calories)

  • Dinner: Tofu stir-fry with a side of non-dairy milk (Approx. 400 calories)

Total calories: Approximately 1550 calories

Not Woke Meal Plan:

  • Breakfast: Bacon and cheese omelette with a side of toast and cow's milk (Approx. 600 calories)

  • Snack: Chocolate chip muffin (Approx. 400 calories)

  • Lunch: Burger and fries with a milkshake (Approx. 1200 calories)

  • Snack: Cheese and crackers (Approx. 300 calories)

  • Dinner: Spaghetti-topped pizza with a side of garlic bread and a glass of cow's milk (Approx. 800 calories)

Total calories: Approximately 3300 calories

These are rough estimates and may vary depending on specific ingredients and portion sizes.

[-] Fisk400@feddit.nu 38 points 1 week ago

So chatGPT is basically going with the interpretation that healthy and woke is the same thing when it comes to food. That feels about right.

[-] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 week ago

its woke to not want a heart attack at 40

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty much so is the author of the article.

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Why does it insist on accompanying dinner with a glass of milk?

[-] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

For getting a contrast b/w dairy and non-dairy

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Well, sure. But Mr. Non-Woke apparently needs cow's milk in all three meals of the day anyway, so it didn't need to have milk with dinner specifically.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

People who drink milk can include:

  • Not Woke Children: Milk is often a staple in children's diets for its calcium and nutrient content, essential for growth and development.
  • Not Woke Farmers: In rural areas, farmers may drink milk from their own cows or livestock.
  • Not Woke Athletes: Milk is sometimes seen as a source of protein for muscle recovery and growth.
  • Not Woke Health-conscious individuals: Some people drink milk for its calcium and vitamin D content, believing it promotes bone health.
  • Not Woke Movie villains: While not a common trope, some movie villains may be depicted drinking milk in a sinister or unsettling manner, contrasting the innocence associated with milk.

That happened one time!

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You paint a whole house, and nobody calls you a painter. But you drink one glass of milk...

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

No Country for Old Men or A Clockwork Orange

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Okay, two times! I haven't seen No Country for Old Men yet. It's on my list, but it keeps getting bumped for more lighthearted stuff.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

You can get a milk marathon going, continue to Inglorious Basterds, V for Vendetta, Get Out, Alien, Leon (kinda) and The Boys series

[-] DaDragon@kbin.social 1 points 1 week ago

Because some people enjoy milk with their food? (I know it’s not the answer you’re going for)

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

My friend's family would serve milk with ice in it when we were kids.

[-] DaDragon@kbin.social 1 points 1 week ago

Shudder. Not sure I could drink that, honestly

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago
[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Too confusing for computer smh

Apologies for the oversight. Let's adjust the woke meal plan accordingly:

Woke Meal Plan (Revised):

  • Breakfast: Avocado toast with quinoa sprinkles (Approx. 350 calories
  • Snack: Apple slices with almond butter (Approx. 200 calories)
  • Lunch: Quinoa salad with chickpeas, mixed greens, and avocado (Approx. 450 calories)
  • Snack: Hummus with carrot sticks (Approx. 150 calories)
  • Dinner: Tofu stir-fry with a side of non-dairy milk (Approx. 400 calories)

Total calories: Approximately 1550 calories

"appy slicey not woke"

Snack: Sliced cucumber with almond butter (Approx. 200 calories)

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 week ago

Well done, much more woke 😂

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's surprisingly accurate! Lol

[-] PDFuego@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Surely that spaghetti-topped pizza isn't real, that's got to be from one of those ragebait tiktoks or something right? That looks and sounds awful.

[-] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 8 points 1 week ago

It's actually really good. Not that one in Particular, put Pizza with Tomatoes sauce, spaghetti and cheese is actually great.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

I like my bread with more bread on it.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, baguette pizza is also just bread on bread, and we all love that

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago

First I've heard of baguette pizza but now I must try it. I've had pizza on a baguette before but never baguette on pizza.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

You've never placed three baguettes on top of a pizza? We've all done that!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

We made a Lo Mein pizza at one of the places I used to manage. I tried one piece. It wasn't bad, but there's no reason, outside of competitive swimming, to carb load that much

[-] Nikku772@kbin.social 20 points 1 week ago

I think the funnest one is “ Spice, all = WOKE”, like damn…. All spices in the world?

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Maybe they meant allspice, but I wouldn't be too surprised if black pepper was too hot for them.

[-] Gluten6970@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Hot dog, battered

...the fuck is this woke-ass gender neutral bullshit?

It's called a CORN DOG, and they are glorious!

[-] maculata@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not woke: penis for boys.

Not woke: pussy for girls.

Not woke: anything to do with people whose skin is not Lily-white.
