Electronic maps update with traffic and suggest routes around delays and roadblocks. They get you back on track when you have to take a detour. They can tell you where the speed cameras are today. They can tell you gasoline prices so you know if you should buy at this station or the next. Plus they update as roads change.

That's all useful stuff really.

None of this voice to text or voice assistant stuff was ever useful. I could see it being useful for disabled people, but as a feature for the rest of us, just no. Nobody did it right. It's just too frustrating to have to repeat yourself slowly multiple times.

The car stuff was the worst. Give it any instruction and it would do anything except what you wanted. It would love to reset the satnav and further the programmed destination.

Whole food includes all the good things though. Meat, fish, butter, eggs, fresh herbs and veggies.

Bad stuff is the mince meat with weird fillers, pasta sauce that's really just red colored sugar syrup, cookies that are lab created abominations, bread that's just sugar and water magically given texture.

Are you seriously telling me you would prefer a subway hidden-sugar sandwich with synthetic meatballs to a ribeye steak fried in butter with green beans and broccoli? The last one is real food that won't cause an insulin spike and cause you to be starving hungry in 2 to 3 hours.
