The inclusion of buckwheat itself is not the problem. It's an approved ingredient in pet food. They are speculating that the specific buckwheat they sourced was contaminated.
This is heartbreaking. I feel like every day I'm waking up to more bad news in animal welfare. My area is experiencing a panleukopenia outbreak in our cat population, so I can't even foster feral kittens right now without putting my own special needs cat at risk. It's so helpless.
It's even more hypocritical than that, unfortunately. The conservatives on my local neighborhood app said these soldiers didn't appreciate or understand what they signed up for when I brought this up. They chalked it up to being weak willed. It blew my mind how quickly they turned on the troops they so loudly support as soon as it meant shielding Trump from criticism.
The public acceptance of gambling. It's fucking everywhere. Even things that seem relatively innocuous on the surface, like trading cards or blind boxes, are less about the fun of collecting and more about the rush of ripping through multiple packs or boxes to focus on the resell value.
I never imagined a world where we can easily bet on natural disasters and cancer on a whim. Please fire me into the sun.
Back in the day, TheSpark.com used to be unhinged and a lot of fun. The Stinky Meat Project was so stupid, but so dedicated, that I couldn't help following along. And the quizzes were a great way to abuse poorly supervised time with computers at school, too!
It sucks getting old, but I'm grateful for the time we got online before it became all this.
Yikes... Unless something truly terrible happened, that level of pettiness you're describing is crazy. My family is insane on both sides, so I get things off things being normalized, but barring a close family member from attending a funeral they clearly very much wanted to witness is extreme.
One thing I learned from my own dysfunctional family is that their past behavior and decisions aren't an excuse for me to repeat the behavior. Unless you want to carry the drama torch yourself, it's time to take a step back and look at the big picture. How much do you want this animosity between your mom and aunts to influence your life? If you truly don't care about them and their opinions, why are they worth you missing your own father's funeral?
This year marks the 10 year anniversary of my adoptive mom passing away. There were many people at her funeral that I was happy to never have to see again. I don't know the details of your situation, but try to keep in mind this is a decision you'll only get to make once.
That's fair, I agree that the level of service is not always an indication of how the restaurant is run.
I do feel it's relevant, however, and I should have elaborated. I lived in the area and worked as a bartender at a resort nearby at the time. We always sat at the bar and talked shop with the employees whenever we went out. Not only that, but it's a tourist area with a very small local, year round population. Everyone knew everyone, and gossip was rampant.
MBC had a good reputation as a workplace with not a lot of turnover. Their employees seemed like they were genuinely having fun, which isn't common if your work environment sucks in my experience.
It's generally not profitable for non-monopolies to anger their customers.
Haha, then I highly encourage you to learn more about this company. Kirk has done plenty to alienate a lot of potential customers and his community. I left that area because the racism was batshit insane. If you're not white, straight, and cis, it's not a comfortable place to live. I respect him for staying and actively fighting against it.
I've actually visited the Minoqua location multiple times. The staff seemed happy, and the food and drinks were great.
Kirk has been very vocally far left in a deeply red area for a long time. He's also done amazing work in bringing together the downtown small business community. It would surprise me if it turned out he was a slimy shit bag.
Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it really that difficult, especially today with smart phones, to provide basic service at a restaurant? Absolutely not.
I spent my early life in the service industry, and I've served people who spoke zero English more times than I can count. Even before translation apps and services were so common, it truly wasn't difficult enough that I'd feel comfortable as a human denying them service. We all worked together to get through it, and they enjoyed their experience from what I could tell.
I've also been on the other end and visited restaurants where our server didn't speak English. We had a great time every time. It truly isn't the big deal you're making it, so it feels like you're looking for reasons to excuse what we can plainly see is racism.

VIAL, Tracy Bonham, Veruca Salt, and Rico Nasty are some of my favorites that go hard.
Edit to add: Definitely check out removedology 101 by Lambrini Girls. It's too good.

God dammit, now I'm going to have Misbehavin' in my head all day.
Momma said not to..... FUCK
Sleeping weird

Pardons haven't only been issued by Trump. They exist because context and extenuating circumstances are important.
Just because they can be abused doesn't mean every pardon is corrupt.
She probably "knows better" to say anything she's thinking.

I have, and I can see what you're saying. But intelligent people who understand how the bills get paid figure out a balance.
I'm curious why speaking the language is so important as to take these kinds of measures.
So, in order to protect culture you can't share it? Seems silly.
