46 year old American male software engineer of Ashkenazic descent. 5'8.5" tall, starting weight 334.1 pounds. 55+ pounds lost since November, 2022 by avoiding starch and sugar. Blogging about the lived experience of becoming not-obese with respect to diet and exercise, not bro-science or products. As you go back in time in this blog you will see an evolution of thought and practice. Each article is a snapshot in time, not a definitive argument.
At my house, I use paper towels. Maybe this is a crutch to get me to cook more by reducing the clean-up overhead. I just don't worry about the environmental impact, but I do choose towels made of recycled material.
The difference between a stinky, overused sponge, or having to wash cloth napkins and towels (environmental impact / water / energy usage?) is that I actually cook, and have fun in the kitchen.
