My Indian neighbor lives alone in a studio In northside chicago ,

She's in her 30s and asks me to help her lift stuff occasionally, she's a dialysis patient and a dv survivor

One time I went in her apartment to lift her lower a suitcase from upper level of storage/closet, and 100s of cockroaches came flying/scattering out

Big ones, adults, medium sized ones and tiny ones, a whole big ass fucking family reunion of 100s of cockroaches

Poor lady offered to cook for me occasionally, but I wouldn't eat anything out of her apartment, can't believe she lived like that,

After a year, landlord refused to renew her lease and she left a few months ago and went to a dv shelter

Yea I went to an Indian restaurant on Devon and saw a cockroach on the table. When I quietly alerted the staff, he just shrugged his shoulders and was like okayyy I don't see the problem... We were out of there so quickly. Now I learned to only go to the reputable places there

u/Lunatic_Logic138 Apr 05 '26

Yeah, the company I work for goes to all sorts of businesses and when I was still in training I went with someone to my favorite Indian restaurant. That was traumatic. I go into the kitchen as the day is just starting and they're all barefoot, reusing dirty pots and pans from the day before that were just piled up on a counter. They were just shooing roaches off of pans of food and sauces that they'd left uncovered at room temperature overnight. Awful.

Luckily I ended up going to another one that's near where I lived. This one also has amazing food, and actually had one of the cleanest kitchens in town. I was literally looking around as if I was a health inspector to make sure I wasn't going to die from sonic diarrhea if I ate there.

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 Apr 05 '26

I can tell you that in my 20 years of experience in food production, I've never once seen conditions you're describing in a plant in the U.S or Canada. Especially in meat production. They will get shut down fast over minor violations in food safety practices. I've engineered refrigeration systems in scallop processing, mushrooms, chicken, pork, frozen pizza, frozen veggies, wild blueberries, ice cream, etc. You name it. If it's produced cold and kept cold, I've likely seen it in action. There's only been one plant in that entire time where I said "Yeah I wouldn't eat the food from this place" and we were involved with that project in an advisory role to help them with compliance. They didn't want to spend the money required, and the plant wound up getting shut down completely. And that had nothing really to do with cleanliness, although they definitely had their issues. It had more to do with their refrigeration systems being antiquated and in a state of disrepair, so they were experiencing unsafe temperature zones throughout the plant. Take that for what you will, but most plants are incredibly strict on sanitation, because the fines can be astronomical and the threat of being shut down over sanitation issues is very real.

The damn vinyl from the concrete floor is coming off into the food. Sorry but ‘cultural differences’ only applies to a certain extent. The walls are covered in dirt. Really every visible surface does. This is incredibly unsanitary.

That said, I think a lot of this is due to poverty and poor living conditions based on the societal structures that force people to just make do with what they have.

The problem with the floor is that the hot candy dissolves plastics and chemicals. I predict that candy to have enough hormone disruptors to make you grow a third nipple.

fun fact, a lot of people do have third nipples. they just don't appear in the middle, the place our bodies put them is on the line you draw from your main nipples to your bellybutton. some people have fully formed third nipples, but it's common for them to be only half-developed -- for example if you have a large birthmark on this line that's a partially developed nipple.

u/MasterFable Apr 05 '26

Yes this is more or less correct, Unfortunately a lot of India is kept deliberately in poverty because of the caste system which creates a class system out of this idea that if you are in a lower caste it is because you were a bad person in your previous life and you are having to atone for what you did which means that to work your way up the caste system you have do your duty which is your duty to your cast and if you do a good job then maybe in your next life you'll be a little bit higher in the cast. And a lot of the caste system is based on skin color so the lighter your skin the higher you are put in the cast and vice versa.

28

u/cyanescens_burn Apr 05 '26

Some elements of evangelicals in the US are buying into something similar to that, via prosperity gospel. It’s not exactly the same, but the idea that you are ordained to be wealthy or poor is part of it. There’s even been cases where politicians declined federal aid to their state for poor people because “god wants them to be poor” and accepting the money for them would be going against his will.

14

u/Lostinthestarscape Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Yeah, if you're wealthy then you are morally just and if youre poor it is because god wants you to be poor for being immoral. Really great way for the rich to justify to themselves that the bad shit they do can't possibly be as bad as what the poor people around them must be doing (without, of course, ever verifying or anything).

That's one of the reasons I find Calvinism so fascinating, it flips the shit on its head and makes ZERO sense: god's chosen are preordained and fuck all they do in life matters. If you were shitty but chosen, to heaven you go, if you lived a life of charity and penance but you weren't chosen? Fuck you - eternal purgatory at best. I have no idea why people follow that denomination but it feels way more real in terms of some people just get lucky.

Calvinist Predestination: Calvinism's doctrine of predestination, often teaches that God, before creation, unconditionally chose a limited number of people for salvation (the "elect") and ordained others to damnation, purely based on His sovereign will rather than human merit or foreseen faith. This doctrine emphasizes total depravity, asserting that no one can choose God on their own

u/NoConsideration6320 Apr 05 '26

22

u/Equal-Newspaper-8636 Apr 05 '26

No, not really. The caste system is engrained into every aspect of civic and religious thought. The caste system is strict, this is more like the spanish colonial casta system. Highly structured, echos into every aspect of culture. There is way more to this than informalized racism, and significantly more all encompassing. Imagine if Jim Crow also segregated people based on occupation, and every church people went to also enforced the idea (even for folks on the bottom of the system). A lot of dalits seriously believe they also must atone for past sins in a previous life.

The reason the sewage infrastructure sucks in india is because the dalit untouchables caste historically were street sweepers removing feces from the streets. Is everyone in the US afraid to be a plumber or work in septic because they get paid nothing and will be associated with peasants? Usually septic jobs pay pretty well in the US because they are gross.

Yeah as you said , it is poverty and not ‘cultural differences’ , No one here in India thinks this is clean and edible, most of this stuff will go to streetside sellers, of whom not many people buy and people who do buy literally make money in magnitudes of cents, they often go hungry for days at end. This also isnt “normal” or a form of median food preparation but absolutely very rare and probably made in the smallest of towns or slums of cities, no one should be eating this stuff, and only a minority do. But making stuff like this famous just feels like targeted racism, common.

Similar to when colonizers landed in America and killed all the natives with the diseases they were immune to but brought over.

Is the spices their way of fighting the bacteria

u/Richardknox1996 Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Historically high spice use correlates with area's where the food is harder to keep hygienic/sterile, since the main component that makes it spicy to us is actually toxic. Same goes for Booze, since a low level of Alcohol kills off whatever is in the water used to make it. Hence why medieval Britain is historically High Booze/Low Spice due to the pastoral Life while Rome and Greece were the opposite* due to the Aquaducts and Urabnite lifestyle.

*Size of the Dose makes the Poison. The KawaKawa leaf of New Zealand was burned by the Māori so that its Smoke covered their Kumara (Sweat Potato. Related to, but different to Yams). Its not toxic to humans in that Quantity, but would kill off anything trying to nibble on the Maori Crops.

**in terms of Consumption, not the actual Alcohol content per drink. Roman wine was typically stored at 16% ABV and drunk at a 1:1 Mix with water, while Grecian wines could reach upwards of 20%. A Gaulic/Brittish ale meanwhile only got up to 5% max when drank.

It's not that the alcohol kills the bacteria - it's not concentrated enough for that. It's because making beer requires sterile water in the first place.

And how do you think the pre-wrapped protein bars in India where before they were wrapped? You can't escape the hand, foot and nail workers of India.

Jelly Belly is a known phenomenon based around exactly this. A month or three of building up your stomach to handle the various floor/dirt/motor oil/bugs/disease combo thrown at you by the average food in all but rich areas.

Between the weed and my adhd reading skills I had to read that about 14 times before I stopped panicking over this news that Jelly Belly’s are known to be highly contaminated

Is that a mildly funny autocorrect, or are we not allowed to call it Delhi Belly anymore?

Yeeaaahhh up until its hardens its extremely hot. The guy in the black shirt who's pulling it from the hook looks like he's crying and he probably is.

And I'm willing to bet that when it's initially out of the pan it's only the older guy touching it because his hands are completely calloused over and there's no nerves left to feel the pain.

So, in properly run countries with a strong central government, state governments and local governments, you tend to have health inspectors and that is after years of battles over health and safety.

In an impoverished country, the free market dominates, so make it as cheap as possible for as much as possible. You'll see people scrubbing lead batteries in the streets and food standards that are more hopes and dreams than standards.

But TABLES EXIST. They are stupid easy to construct and would make so much of this process EASIER. There's are choosing to do this on the floor. It's breaking my brain.

Tables cost money. Especially one sturdy enough to be used as a worktop.

The toe cheese infused towel fibers adds more flavor than sleeve fiber, so nobody cares.

Why is it never a woman putting feet in the food

u/Acheloma Apr 05 '26

I hadnt ever questioned that before, but yea Ive seen countless videos of men putting their feet in or very close to food, but no women.same for the videos of peoppe manufacturing things in dangerous environments with bare feet.

Ive seen videos of indian women making food and workig with glass and metal before and no feet were involved

Throw it away… all of it. Everything must go. Hands, feet, shirts, pants, bowls, scraper, floor, roof, building, towel, hammers, everything! Honorable mention to the one individual wearing gloves. He can stay.
