I'm simplifying recopies for people who read code, and to make understanding code easier for people who can't.
I've been meaning to read the book "Cooking for Engineers"
I always transcribe the list onto a hand-drawn map of the store
Then I can make one pass through the list as one pass through the store instead of having to scan the list over and over.
they do not make it easy to find a map of the store
maps could be used to provide a shopping path

Bioethicist Suggests Re-Engineering Humans To Become Allergic To Meat
This is one of those rare moments where we don’t know if we should make jokes or fear for our lives. Prepare yourself.
A viral video shows a bioethicist suggest we re-engineer humans to become allergic to meat in order to control climate change.
A video of a panel at the 2016 World Science Festival has resurfaced causing outrage from thousands on social media. S. Matthew Liao is speaking about reducing humanity’s footprint on the planet.
Liao says a major impact each of us can make is by limiting our meat. He then brings up the idea of altering one’s body to be allergic to all meat in order to help with our over consumption. An example is given of how a tick bite can cause alpha-gal allergy (red meat allergy.)
“There’s this thing called the lone star tick where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat…That’s something we can do through human engineering. We can kind of possibly address really big world problems through human engineering.” ...
In the video Liao did not suggest we use a tick bite to alter our bodies, but rather said it was possible. Katz says he’s actually glad this was brought to light as it’s something we need to be aware of.
“There’s no way to look at this other than to say this is the ugliest concept. I’m glad it was brought up so we can note that it is ugly. But you will find people who approve of this and in that you will find the totalitarian.”

Bioethicist Suggests Re-Engineering Humans To Become Allergic To Meat
I ate some Broccoli the other day that almost made me turn vegetarian. It was sooooo good just wrapped in bacon.
I don't like that so if I'm going to shop I always transcribe the list onto a hand-drawn map of the store.
I think I came up with the idea in 2002 that all big stores with websites should make it easy for customers to find products. Looking at a product page online? It should tell you the aisle and section of the product for your selected store.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many workers were terminated. Beyond Meat asked employees to work from home on Thursday and restricted access to documents, according to some of the people, who asked not to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. Management then set up individual calls to inform some workers that they were losing their jobs. Some cuts came in the research and development department.
The company didn’t respond to inquiries from Bloomberg.
Beyond Meat, which had about 1,100 employees at the end of last year, previously eliminated about 40 positions in August as part of a broader cost-cutting plan. The onetime Wall Street darling faces mounting challenges as rising inflation drives consumers toward less-expensive animal proteins and competition intensifies. Major fast-food partnerships have failed to gain traction, and the company has struggled to ramp up production.
It suffered another blow last month when its chief operating officer, who had been hired from Tyson Foods Inc., was suspended after being arrested. A supply-chain executive, who had been hired at the same time, has also departed.
The plant-based meat category has also broadly cooled off. Retail sales of refrigerated meat alternatives fell almost 11% in the 12 months ended Oct. 2 from the previous period, IRI data show. Beyond Meat-branded sausage substitutes fell 19% in the period, while the company’s plant-based patties dropped 27%. Its faux meatballs experienced growth, however, with sales rising 19%.
Earlier this month, JBS SA, the world’s largest meat supplier, said it would discontinue operations at its US plant-based unit Planterra. Closely held Impossible Foods Inc. dismissed about 6% of its 800-person workforce, though it has said that its sales are growing.
