Capitalism: purchase a snack food conglomerate, lobby to remove sodium from food labels, increase salt in snack foods dramatically, and sell at a loss; this will drive up demand for the desalinated water.
Edit: add HFCS to the food and sell it at a massive profit.
I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.
Yes, it really bugs me when I get downvotes but not one single comment articulating what they are not liking or what they disagree with. I could not care less about the score, I’m here for discussion and also debate. I often find when I ask “why the downvotes” it’s because people misinterpreted what I wrote (my fault, I need to be clear) or I used info they didn’t have (something I know because of an area of interest that I think it’s common knowledge in that group). Both can “fixed” by discussion.
Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.
Agreed, it tastes like cauliflower no matter what you do and it’s hard to get the consistency right. We eat low carb but not keto so I’ll occasionally do mashed cauliflower with 1/3 potatoes if we’re having a roast or whatever with gravy.
The best way I’ve found for cauliflower is to air fry it.
Don’t cook too much, which means reading up on basic cookery and using a timer.
Top with a decent extra virgin olive oil and salt. This doesn’t have to be expensive, you only need a little. The bottle will be pricey but last a long time.
A trick I used to use when I didn’t like veggies but needed to eat them is to cook them more, puree, and mix into mashed potatoes.
Well I guess it’s only if you already like mashed potatoes (also known as pomme puree). Anyway, just an idea. I hope you figure out what works for you.
You could luck out and really enjoy an epic winter keg party in the Rockies with a bunch of coyotes on the other side of the gorge howling at the full moon. Or whatever.

Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?
I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.
People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?
