I absolutely reject the notion of food science being common knowledge. If you can’t back up what you say with anything when asked, you are simply lying, full of shit, or haven’t actually proved what you claimed.

Yes I know there are regional differences in how food is made that is my whole point. I’m saying there is difference in quality between the two countries, but that has no link to degradation of cornmeal which is what the op claimed, said “I did a study” and everyone just believed them when they quite literally cannot backup what they said.

How hard is it to keep your conjecture to yourself or just simply backup what you claimed?

The point of my comment was to call out the comment poster because it’s obvious they were using their own conjecture and just saying “I did a study.” Very common in this community because people just trust what other people say on face value. The fact they never followed up with anything at all means it was a bot or a dumbass just spouting off at the mouth about some bullshit. I appreciate you taking the time to find similar studies though, thank you.

I was not arguing anything except, “please show me where you read that” because I don’t know about this subject. But if you make a claim about a subject, you should be able to back it up or you’re lying.

I find it hard to buy that Mexican tortilla companies somehow buy only heirloom corn and American companies don’t. We know exactly why the tortillas suck in the US and it’s not cornmeal degradation ffs.

Highly recommend using cream installer or some other dlc grabber, I think it runs for like $500 if you buy all the dlc.

When you’re at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.

It’s at 0 now! No clue what that says having been previously negative haha

I don’t need to check out the differences in other foods because that isn’t relevant to this discussion. It may be relevant but then you would need to provide evidence of that connection, when it would be probably easier to cite the original source they spoke of, instead of having to provide two different sets of data.

I’m also curious how the degradation of cornmeal even happened, which I’m sure this study would touch on.

I’m going to be honest here, I’m highly skeptical of the quality of cornmeal leading to lower quality tortillas. This is mainly because we already know why they are bad in the states. Not to mention the comment iteself is written like it was a conclusion made in conjecture.

Please cite the study you read/wrote that concludes cornmeal is the reason behind why corn tortillas are so bad in the us and that the deterioration of cornmeal is what led to it.

(Spoiler for anyone reading this, they didn’t have a source and were talking out of their ass about this subject. 0 evidence to back up their claim. Typical of lemmy.)

They aren’t wrong. Corn tortillas in USA are a crime to most hispanics. Go across the border and it’s night and day. Same thing with the bread here.

Unless you’re like a person who is astute at picking up very minute differences, you likely won’t taste a difference.

New PC, new chain and sprocket for my moto, or pay down some debt would be nice, ain’t gonna happen tho lol.

I had to drive to rural mexico, ‘we’ are making pazole and tamales.

I go to all sides to get the majority of my ‘headlines’

Pretentious - attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

Yes.

‘free’

So is that ‘sell my data’ free? Or ‘get you hooked on the product and then add a subscription a year later’ free?

Bastards.

I wish this trend would die out. Tell me your x without telling me your x is so fucking pretentious and annoying.
