Maybe Rao lives in a factory?

>>16843985
What does "all natural" even mean?

You know what's also all-natural? Dog vomit.

>>16843989
This. Its his home OP. Insensitive fuck.

>>16844121
That's bullshit because dog food is heavily processed

>>16844121
Vomit is processed food by your stomach, how is that natural

>>16844130
>>16844135
Processed by natural, organic, substances.

>>16843985
You are the incel of food

EVERYWHERE RAO SETS FOOT BECOMES SUBJUGATED BY HIS MIGHT! SHOULD RAO DECLARE A PASTA SAUCE FACTORY TO BE HIS HOME, THEN SO IT SHALL BE! NUHAHAHAA!!

God I love raos. I try to keep one 32 oz jar each of mariana, basil, and arrabiata in the pantry at all times. You have to buy it on sale though.

>>16843985
That shit is $9 a bottle by me. I can buy dop san marzano tomatos cheaper

>>16844204
>its processed
>but its natural

>>16844447
>confusing the term "processed" for its manipulative colloquial definition
when will this end

>>16843985
In that context "homemade" means that it is made by hand (with the aid of industrial equipment).

>>16844447
Pasta sauce is, by the very nature that it undergoes a process of cooking, PROCESSED.

Gosh, people are stupid and so easily manipulated.

>>16844510
How is it NATURAL if it is PROCESSED
Jfc and you talk about stupidity

>>16843985
>local
>actually made using foreign ingredients in a factory hundreds of miles away
>fresh
>literally not
welcome to deceptive marketing with no government oversight.

>>16844549
Cooking is a process that, by nature, is artificial.

Plants getting nutrients from the sun is a natural process, for example.

>>16844510
Good thing I can find pasta sauce in nature, in the woods near my house, you know, it's natural, and not at all a by-product resulting from the transformation of several vegetables and ingredients, which is the very definition of the word processed

>>16844562
Mixing several ingredients to create a sauce is a process that, by nature, is artificial.

Plants getting nutrients from the sun is a natural process, for example.

>>16843985
The recipe is homemade

>>16844447
Well then nothing is natural since every thing you eat had to undergo a PROCESS of creation, growth, and development, so I guess there is no such thing as nature.

>>16844593
Why do you pretend to not be retarded when it's so self evident that you are?

>>16844594
Why do you pretend to not be retarded when it's so self evident that you are?

>>16844593
It is NATURAL in the sense that you can find it in NATURE (hence the word natural, got it? Haha), do you find pasta sauce in NATURE anon?

>Gouda
>Not made in Gouda

>>16844606
>walk to grocery store
>find pasta sauce aisle
>it's just sitting there
>not growing or anything
>pick it up and buy it
Seems pretty natural to me

>Parmesan aged over 10 months
>No it's not

>>16844628
How do you know? Were you there when it was CREATED?

I'm just saying, it would be a comfy gig to get paid to live in a factory so the company could legally call the product homemade.
For me? I'd like to live in a cookie factory. It would smell good and stay nice and warm.

>>16844636
I'd like to live in an ice cream factory. It would always be nice and cool, and you could always cozy up and drink some coffe and ice cream!

Carl's Jr is selling hand-breaded chicken, like that's the menu name, hand-breaded. That has to be a lie, right? Are companies just allowed to flagrantly lie about being handmade in small batches by grandmas using wooden spoons in a bucolic cottage home?

>>16844606
pasta is man made. you dont find pasta trees in nature.

>>16844687
Nobody tell this guy...

>>16844687
Wait what? Pasta isn’t natural and is in fact a processed product made from flour, salt, water and eggs? Who would have thought

>>16844687
Well, duh. Most pasta grows on vines, retard.

>>16844715
>particulates and organic matter are compressed and heated over a period of time, broken apart and reconglomerated, etc
>stones aren't natural tho

>>16844634
All European cows, milk, cheese, meats, cuts, nuts, barley, beans, wine and beer are tracked, registered and labelled accordingly.

If there's no label it's not European.

There's no label, there's not a single farmer in Parma who would ever produce this, there's not a single customer who'd buy this, it's 100% counterfeit.

>>16844687

>>16843985
>Rao's arrabbiata
>$9
>yep, I'm getting "flavored with meat" sauce again instead

>>16844780
is this real?

>>16844438
saw it at walmart for $5/bottle which kind of blew me away, one of the only times ive bought it

>>16845458
I always get it at costco. It's 5 bucks a bottle for 2. It's also simply the best, just about as good as if you made it yourself. I'm eating some tonight with sketti squash and chicken.

>>16843985
There are oompa loompas living there, you dick!

>>16843985
"Rao's Homemade" is the brand. Deceptive? Sure. Illegal? Should be.

>>16844780
The italian pasta farmer in her natural habitat. Much similar to the rice serfs of the orient.

>>16844550
This. Why does the government allow this retarded bullshit?

>>16846489
cause the govermint is fat and gay

>>16844560
these taste weird as fuck too, must be because of the grape leaves they decided to add for no reason

>>16846489
Because republicans seethe over consumer protections and bow to their corporate overlords

>>16844679
Carls Jr also did in-house baked rolls for a special a few years ago, it takes all of 10 seconds to dredge a chicken cut through batter and breading

Obvious RAOs marketing thread

>>16846489
they dont watch everyone all the time to make sure theyre all telling the truth. youre supposed to tell local regulators about this shit and get their bureaucratic ass moving to fix it

>>16844130
Nothing exist outside of nature, everything is natural, even the internet and fake tits.

>>16846971
Mankind is living in opposition to nature and that's why everything is going to shit. Only hunter-gatherer tribes are natural.

>>16847104
Mankind is part of nature, so all that we do is natural.

>>16844447
>retard doesnt know what processed means

>>16845552
Just about any supermarket product works this way. I'm all for making this dumb shit illegal. All this dumb "premium" whatever shit is just annoying, meaningless marketing.

>>16844687
Look up spaghetti squash.

>>16844752
no one gives a shit about your jewish source laws.

>>16848231
If a fish leaps out of the ocean to slowly suffocate on the beach, is that natural? If a dog were to eat only grass clippings, is that natural? If everything were natural then the word "natural" would be meaningless. It exists because some things are unnatural, such as feeding canned broiler chickens to a pug.

>>16843985
>all natural
>premium
I know this HAS to be good if it has those words on the bottle

>>16843985
Calm down, it's just marketing. The sauce is really good actually.

>>16846971
The autistic radiation from this post

I can make a sofrito then dump one of those dollar store cans of sauce with some dried herbs and it will be better than the premium all natural homemade jarred sauce from the factory.

>>16849146
It depends on how you define "natural."

If "natural" means anything that exists and/or happens, then all our activities are natural, even shoving plastic dildos up our asses.

If you define "natural" as everything that happens organically (e.i. without interference, such as plants growing under the sun), then pretty much everything we do as humans is unnatural, from wearing clothes to driving cars, etc.

>>16850042
that's nice, anon. glad you enjoy your pasta :^)

>>16844510
>Not plucking your pasta sauce straight from the tree
NGMI

>>16844438
It's $8 here too. Any pasta sauce that isn't fucking ragu here is $7-10 a bottle

You're right I should just buy san marzano tomatoes and make the sauce myself. It seems like the real italians just use peeled tomatoes with a little bit of salt and basil.

I have a jar of this that's 3 years old but unopened. Is it safe to eat?

Why is this brand so expensive?

>>16852824
Because it's Homemade®* by Italian-American nonnas** since 1896.

*in a factory
**not a regulated term

>>16852824
They import tomatoes from Italy like that really makes a difference.

>>16846508
>grape leaves for no reason
The grape leaves are there for a reason.

>>16843985
All the idiots shitting on this sauce brand are going to go home and eat Ragu tonight with the #1 and #2 ingredients being soybean oil and canola oil, of course.

Meanwhile I'm eating my Raouls with the #1 and #2 ingredients as tomatos and garlic. Get fucked you obese idiots.

>>16853635
All that projection...

Holy fuck how pathetically helpless and autistic can you be?
>it-it says homemade!! Help me government please help!!
>it says natural but can’t be natural because chemicals aren’t natural no chemicals in nature my stepdad is a chemist fuck you stepdad!! >:(

>>16853635
No I'm going to make my own sauce because it's not only cheaper but much tastier than your little corporate brand that you worship

>>16853667
>t. Rao's "Homemade"

>>16843985
>Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package!

Why are non-Rao's brands of sauce watery and full of soybean oil and way too much dried herbs, or pay $9 for factory homemade sauce, when as >>16853697 points out, it costs like $4 for a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes with a glug of olive oil, half an onion and 20-30 minutes to make? Why can't other companies make unshitty sauce affordable?

>>16849146
>If everything were natural then the word "natural" would be meaningless.
Yes, and that's why it's a fucking garbage term, just like "organic".

>>16844447
>What is honey?

>>16853841
organic isn't a perfect term since it gets lumped in with a perception of sustainable farming but at least the broadest possible definition is 'carbon-based.'
