Prepper's Web

It’s the first night of the first 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate. Here’s how the candidates are getting ready:

A campaign spokesperson told CBS News that during the debates, Beto O’Rourke “will lift up the stories of those he’s met all across the country, connect them to the many robust plans he has outlined, and share his vision for how we can bring more people into this democracy to confront the greatest set of challenges we’ve ever faced.”

Sen. Kamala Harris has been prepping in D.C. when she’s in town for her Senate duties and has also been huddling with advisers and aides in Miami, prepping today and yesterday. She ordered in Cuban for dinner last night (arroz con pollo) and Caribbean (stewed fish and callaloo) for lunch today. The campaign sees the debate as a huge opportunity to introduce the California senator to millions of Americans who may not know much about her. The campaign says they’ll see her commitment to an agenda that isn’t focused on ideological debates but tangible solutions that impact people’s lives. She will also continue to show why she think’s she’s the best candidate to prosecute the case against four more years of President Trump.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar jokingly told the crowd at the Planned Parenthood forum in South Carolina that at Rep. Jim Clyburn’s fish fry, she was trying to get some of the guys on the debate stage to promise to kneel when she speaks so she looks taller. Klobuchar will be near O’Rourke and Gov. Jay Inslee.

Sen. Cory Booker has been doing a lot of pushups through debate prep, according to a campaign official. Monday’s prep session included a La Croix and popcorn after doing some bicep curls between sessions. A memo released by the campaign states that Booker’s goal for the debates is to introduce himself to Democrats tuning in for the first time. He will emphasize why he is running for president and his background living in Newark.

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign told CBS News that Swalwell “is working with his team of advisers this week to ensure that he makes the most of this opportunity to communicate his vision of a safer, healthier nation in which all Americans share in our prosperity. Time will be limited on this debate stage, but he’s confident that a young, experienced leader who lives like Americans do and feels what they feel can make a real impression.”

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro has used the last multi-candidate events to prepare for the debate, according to a campaign spokesperson. At these events, he has practiced differentiating himself from other candidates and winning over crowds. The spokesperson also said Castro has been rolling out more policy and working with his team during sessions at their hotel condensing 15-page policy rollouts to one minute bites.

Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney plans to go after Sen. Bernie Sanders on healthcare. His campaign believes there will be a Sanders-esque candidate at the end of the primary, whether it’s Sanders himself or Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and then a moderate candidate. Delaney’s team believes he will be that candidate over former Vice President Joe Biden, who the campaign believes has his own lane that’s prone to gaffes. To prepare, Delaney has been doing one-on-one questions with his staff and studying the 2016 GOP debates because of the field size, and the 2008 Democratic debates which had the last large field of Democrats.

Author Marianne Williamson’s communications director Patricia Ewing said the campaign wasn’t worried about standing out on a crowded stage and added, “I would if she were a typical politician but she is not. She stands out in every crowd, like in South Carolina. She has a unique message and voice, that should stand out.” In terms of prep, Ewing said Williamson is rehearsing and talking to people about issues.

Gov. Jay Inslee told Stephanie Ruhle in an interview on MSNBC Tuesday that he was looking forward to the debate, saying “it should be fun.” He compared his strategy approaching this debate to his time as a basketball player: “I played basketball for many years and during practice you try and beat the other guy one-on-one. When it’s game time, you unite. I’m going to show a record of unparalleled success.” He also told reporters in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami about how he plans to use his first introductory moment to voters. He said progressive policies “cannot succeed ultimately unless we defeat the climate crisis. Making this pledge that defeating the climate crisis will be the priority of the United States if given this honor. It will be the organizing principle of my administration, proved in Washington you can develop a clean energy economy while improving access to education, healthcare … We have to put the priority and muscle behind defeating the climate crisis. And that’s what I intend to do.”

And on the Republican side…

According to White House producer Fin Gomez, some of Mr. Trump’s senior campaign and White House aides want him to tweet. The president is uncertain whether he will, but a senior adviser says to expect him to. It may not be a live-tweet format, more just tweeting at his opponents sporadically.  

Mr. Trump said he might live tweet, but also seemed uncertain in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity about six days ago. 

“I wasn’t thinking about it, but maybe I will now,” Trump said to Hannity. “Instead of fake news, I’ll make them correct news. And that’s OK.” 

The RNC will engage in counter-programming during both nights of the debate. According to an RNC official, the committee will have a war room made up of 10 people monitoring every network, a research and rapid response team blasting fact checks on candidates’ responses, a social/digital operation, and surrogates to dominate the airwaves across national and local television as well as radio. In Miami, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel will attend a socialist-focused earned media event as well as a roundtable with Cuban business owners.

FROM THE CANDIDATES

SEN. KAMALA HARRIS: Harris announced a fourth endorsement from the Congressional Black Caucus on Tuesday. CBS News Campaign Reporter Stephanie Ramirez says this latest endorsement comes from Rep. Lacy Clay, the first elected official from Missouri to endorse the California senator, according to her campaign. Clay wrote in a Tuesday tweet, “Kamala has the #courage , vision and backbone to fight for equal justice, restore our democracy, and unite the American people. She shares my passion to strive for equal justice for all, instead of just for some…” 

SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN: The Warren campaign has sandwiched the Massachusetts Senator’s Democratic debate appearance between town halls in Miami and Chicago. CBS News Campaign Reporter Zak Hudak says they’re the sort of events she has most excelled at to this point, and a new topic is likely to be the plan she released this morning to combat voter suppression and gerrymandering and to protect from foreign attacks on voting equipment. Among Warren’s latest batch of proposals are making election day a national holiday and allowing citizens to vote with a sworn statement rather than an ID. The plan hinges on an agreement she says she would make in which the federal government would pay for all of a state’s election administration costs in exchange for the state meeting the various federal standards she hopes to impose.

STATELY COVERAGE

IN THE MIDDLE: Two sources confirmed a TIME report to CBS News campaign reporters Musadiq Bidar and Adam Brewster that Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called J.D. Scholten, who nearly knocked off Rep. Steve King in 2018, and told Scholten “we don’t need a primary” for Iowa’s 2020 Senate Race. The Democrats are trying to flip the seat Sen. Joni Ernst won in 2014 when longtime Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin retired. The DSCC and Emily’s List have already endorsed Theresa Greenfield in the Democratic primary against businessman Eddie Mauro and attorney Kimberly Graham. Greenfield ran for Congress in 2018, but lost her primary to Rep. Cindy Axne after her campaign manager admitted to forging signatures on documents to qualify for the ballot. Scholten says he will make a decision about his political future once Q2 filings are posted.

UP NORTH: CBS News Campaign Reporter Nicole Sganga says abortion remains a heated issue in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Democratic Party has launched a digital ad targeting Gov. Chris Sununu following his pro-life pick of Gordon MacDonald for New Hampshire’s Supreme Court, a judge with a history of representing pro-life lawmakers and constituencies. The digital advertisement, which will run on Twitter and Facebook, reads “We in New Hampshire and not Alabama.” One-in-three Americans rank abortion as a “top issue” in determining how they will cast their ballot in the upcoming 2020 election. According to a Monmouth University Poll released today, most Americans support access to abortion, with 32% who think it should always be legal and 31% who think it should be legal with some limitations. Last week, CBS News attended a meeting of the Greater Ossipee Democrats, attracting nearly 100 Granite Staters in the politically purple area of Tamworth, New Hampshire, for a “panel and community discussion of the medical, societal and personal implications of the recent laws passed in Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia to restrict abortion.” The hot topic continues to mobilize female voters from across Carroll and Coos County — areas of the state with a higher concentration of independent voters that both Democrats and Republicans aim to win over in the 2020 presidential election.

ISSUES THAT MATTER

LATINO VOTE: The 2020 National Latino Electorate Survey released today by UnidosUS that surveyed 1,854 eligible Latino voters found that Latino voters want to see a candidate who embraces the nation’s diversity, has a plan to get things done, and fights for the issues. CBS News notes that this is a Latino organization releasing a survey of all Latino voters (not just Democrats) on the eve of a Democratic debate. Interestingly, CBS News political unit Intern Julia Cherner says a candidate’s ability to speak Spanish was consistently found as the least important trait in candidates to Latino voters. When asked what issues an ideal candidate would address (open-ended question), the top three most common answers were jobs and the economy, healthcare, and immigration. Only 50 percent of self-identified Republicans surveyed are certain they will vote for Trump. The full report can be found here.

WOMEN AT WORK: 15 presidential candidates have signed a pledge to guarantee that fifty percent of their national security staff would be women if elected, says CBS News Political Unit AP Ellee Watson. The recently formed Leadership Council for Women in National Security (LWINS) started the pledge and have asked every presidential campaign including Republicans to sign on. Co-founder and former White House official Julianne Smith said in a LWINS statement, “In recent years, women have made many important strides in national security. But they continue to be underrepresented in Congress, on the Sunday talk shows, the boardroom and the Situation Room. LCWINS aims to help women at various stages throughout their career tackle some of the unique challenges they face in the workplace.” The 15 candidates who have signed the pledge are: Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Seth Moulton, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Tim Ryan, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell and Elizabeth Warren.

THE CLIMATE DEBATE: The Sunrise Movement, a youth environmental advocacy group, held a sit-in outside the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. today, continuing their call for a 2020 debate specifically about climate change. Sunrise Movement communications director Stephen O’Hanlon told CBS Political Unit Broadcast Associate Aaron Navarro that at its peak about 100 members were there, and they’re prepared to stay the night. He also said the group will be watching the upcoming debates to see if the DNC and media “take [climate-change] seriously and treat it like an emergency.”  The group has pushed this debate proposal before, which was rejected by DNC Chair Tom Perez. DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa told CBS earlier this month that “While climate change is at the top of our list, the DNC will not be holding entire debates on a single issue.” O’Hanlon told CBS News, “All the major candidates think we should have a climate debate…quite frankly, for years the DNC leaders in the party have been taking millions of dollars from oil and gas executives and lobbyists that you can bet, don’t want a debate about climate change.”  So far, CBS has counted 15 candidates that have endorsed a climate debate, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Vice President Joe Biden.  O’Hanlon said the Sunrise Movement isn’t planning to making any presidential endorsements in the near future but will make some closer to the primaries and put activists in key states during the general election. 

JUST FOR FUN

***FIRST ON CBS*** BINGO! Tomorrow, the New Hampshire Democratic Party is set to release a “Dem Debate Bingo Card,” highlighting values and priorities of the Democratic Party anticipated on the debate stage this week.  

“Every Democratic candidate in the First in the Nation Primary has been talking about rebuilding the middle class, protecting reproductive rights, making sure all Americans have access to affordable quality health care, and much more,” said Ray Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party said in a statement. “It’s clear that Democrats stand with the middle class. While the details of Democrats’ plans may differ, they all are advocating for working Granite Staters, while Republicans are only pushing policies that only help the top 1%.”

“No matter which Democrat becomes the nominee, Granite Staters will be yelling ‘BINGO’ – because on issue after issue, Democrats are fighting for the middle class,” said Buckley.

The concrete slab can be thought of as the wearing cap for the building pad and base course. A well compacted and smooth subgrade is critical to a successful slab. Slab formwork, jointing details, vapor barriers and reinforcing must be installed correctly for the slab to function as designed.

Building Pad and the Base Course

Typically the building pad and base course will be designed based on a local soils report and installed by the site contractor. A third-party inspecting agency normally will monitor installation to insure compliance to plans and specifications and confirm that moisture and density requirements are met. It is important that the concrete slab installer verify pad elevations and sub-base stability prior to starting the work. Conducting a proof roll prior to installing the base course and slab placement is always a good idea and will quickly identify soft spots and potential rutting. Most proof rolling is done using a loaded dump truck or similar heavily loaded wheeled equipment.

Major considerations when installing base course for slabs on grade:

• Uniform slab thickness and correct elevation.
• Correct concrete yield for slabs placed. We have always strived to maintain a 1% overage for slabs on grade.
• Adequate compaction and surface smoothness to reduce under slab restraint and insure correct slab profile.
• Proper backfill and compaction of excavations for plumbing and electrical lines, which should always be 2 in. to 4 in. below top of subgrade.
• Trimming and detail of base course at slab edges, walls and columns.

Grading Tips

• Control rolldown and compaction. Depending on base course thickness, local aggregates, moisture content, pad condition and grading/compacting equipment used, the difference in elevation of the base course can vary considerably from machine graded to final compacted base. Rolldown will vary daily and within slab placement area.
• Know when to use static roll. Once the placement area has been graded and compaction/proof roll approved, do only static, (non-vibratory) rolling/compaction for touch up grading before and during concrete placement. Do not vibratory compact next to fresh concrete, (under seven days in age) as a rule of thumb.
• It’s easier to bring material in than take it out. We recommend that building pad be +/- 1/10’ balanced prior to installation of base course.

Slip Sheets and Vapor Barriers

A slip sheet is a layer of material (usually plastic sheeting of 4-6 mil in. thickness) placed between the slab and subgrade to reduce friction between them. Oftentimes a double layer of material will be specified. A slip sheet is part of the slab design that allows the slab to move, especially during the curing and hydrating process. Reduction of water vapor transmission from subgrade to slab is a side effect and not the intent of a slip sheet.Plate dowel baskets being installed during placement.Chad S. White

Vapor barriers are materials that will minimize the transmission of water vapor from the subgrade into the concrete slab. Vapor barriers are typically specified according to ASTM E 1745. Low density polyethylene film is commonly used, and a minimum thickness of 10 mils is recommended for reduced vapor transmission and durability during and after its installation.

Sometimes a granular blotter layer is specified between the underside of the concrete slab and the vapor barrier. Be advised that a blotter layer is generally not recommended due to the potential of water ponding under slab and being trapped by the vapor barrier.

There are several major considerations when installing slip sheets and vapor barriers, including:

• Insure base course is smooth prior to installation.
• Protect from puncture and abrasion.
• Overlap edges correctly. Install per manufacturers recommendations. Vapor barriers will require taping of joints and special attention at penetrations, block-outs and walls.
• Keep clean.

Additional Installation Tips 

• Double check that correct vapor barrier materials and thickness is being used.
• Keep material flat and wrinkle free during installation of concrete.
• Have additional material and repair items available during concrete placement.

Slab Forming, Jointing and Reinforcement

For the purpose of this article we will be discussing conventional slab edge and column block-out formwork solutions, the different doweling systems currently in use and light slab reinforcement installation.

Slab Forming Solutions

Dimensional lumber is the most common edge forming material in use today. The typically specified construction joint doweling systems are simple to use with wood forming members, and the top edge of a wood form can be easily beveled for more accurate placing and finishing. Steel and composite material forms are available, but adaptability to different jointing designs, ease of use and upfront costs oftentimes defers their use.

Major considerations for installing formwork for concrete slabs:

• Maintaining top of slab elevation, FF/FL specification and joint straightness requirements.
• Form to form joint and support.
• Understand bracing requirements for system used and soil conditions to be encountered.
• Consider reuse and stripping/cleaning requirements for the forming system used.
• Is it “finisher friendly”? Are the stakes/braces below top of form? Is top of form beveled? Can a troweling machine safely overlap edge? Is there adequate room for workman to access edge of slab?

Tips for Installing Formwork

• Stack and store forms properly.
• Use good lumber and accessories.
• Minimize hand grade trimming under forms.
• Control benchmark. Third party survey crews will typically establish monuments and control points but temporary benchmarks will need to be transferred as concrete slab installation progresses and maintained for prep, forming and concrete placements. We would recommend all benchmarks be established, moved or transferred using an optical level in lieu of a laser.

Slab Jointing/Doweling

Slab dowels and rebar at construction joints in the majority of commercial, warehouse and light industrial projects are primarily for load transfer and to facilitate or manage slab movement. Dowels will either be cast into one slab edge or pocket forms will be used and dowels installed prior to next placement. Dowel baskets are used to provide load transfer at the contraction/control joints. Closed cell foam expansion joint material and bond-breakers are typically installed at walls, columns, fixed objects and penetrations.

Major considerations for installing construction joint dowels, rebar and dowel baskets:

• Dowel alignment and straightness.
• Ability to consolidate concrete around and ease of form stripping.
• How dowel baskets will be installed and maintained during slab placement.
• Having enough material on hand and proper storage.

Tips for Installation of Dowels and Dowel Baskets

• Read the installation instructions for any proprietary doweling systems used and the plan details. So basic but oftentimes neglected.
• You can’t just put the dowels in and leave it. Someone must be responsible for monitoring dowel installation and correcting dowel displacement during placement.
• Straight lines, straight lines, straight lines.

Slab Reinforcing

Reinforcement categories to be covered is mesh, rebar and fibers. Mesh is generally specified for light commercial projects, slabs on metal deck and as a work platform during installation and placement of structural slabs. Reinforcing can run the gamut from light # 3 rebar on wide spacings to double layer closely spaced mats of # 6 rebar. Fibers can be either steel or plastic of various lengths and configurations with different poundage requirements per cubic yard of concrete specified.

Mesh and rebar are typically chaired and supported in place during concrete placement. Fibers are added to concrete truck either at batch plant or on-site just prior to discharge.

Major considerations when installing mesh, rebar and fibers: 

• For mesh and rebar insure that overlap and wastage is accounted for when ordering.
• Stability of subgrade when selecting chairing method.
• Interface with placing operations. Method of concrete placement will impact rebar installation sequencing and bar support/chairing requirements. 
• How you are going to get the fibers in the truck and where.

Tips for Installing Mesh, Rebar and Fibers

• Mesh is difficult to chair in place and hand pulling of mesh as a supplemental method of installation is recommended.
• Rebar mats are easier to manage than individual bars tied in place.
• Understand shop drawings and plan details.
• Try to eliminate or minimize personnel climbing up and down the back of truck mixers while loading fiber.
• Insure that fibers are loaded correctly into mixer trucks and properly mixed prior to discharge.

Slab Protection and Housekeeping

Primary concern is protection of work in place, work of other trades and a clean safe work area. Focus should be on slab edges, columns, walls and fixed equipment.

Concrete splatter, dirt and staining are major worries that must be addressed. Hot and cold weather protection activities may be required and access to slabs during curing period will have to be monitored and controlled.

Chad S. White has been involved in all aspects of concrete construction from craftsman to concrete subcontractor and is a founder of WL Concrete. He has been personally involved with design and construction of many industrial slabs, including shake-on hardeners, defined traffic super flats and high tolerance random traffic floors. White is the author of numerous published articles regarding concrete slab on grade installation and a speaker at World of Concrete.

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) – The Anchorage Downtown Partnership along with other businesses are busy preparing for the Downtown Summer Solstice Festival Saturday.

4th Avenue from C Street to L Street will be closed down starting Saturday morning for the festival.

“All of downtown will be completely closed down and we will have everything from beer gardens, concert stages, we’ll have bubbles, kid zone, kid activities, we’re going to have a circus out here,” said Anchorage Downtown Partnership executive director Amanda Moser.

On top of all the things to do with kids, there are also a number of beer gardens and food trucks to enjoy.

“We treat it like Fur Rondy and Iditarod,” said Guy Conley, managing partner and chef at Fat Ptarmigan. “So it’s one of the biggest weekends of the year. We’re always staffed up. Extra dough, extra everything.”

“I’ve been prepping for a few months now,” said Karin Swanson, the sales and marketing manager at the Hard Rock Cafe downtown. “People just want to come down and enjoy the sun, fingers crossed it’ll stay sunny.”

For the first time at the festival, there will also be a sober garden.

“Society tells us we need to add alcohol to every event, and people are so used to meeting at bars or hanging out in the beer garden, but you don’t have to drink to find community,” said Tiffany Hall, executive director of Recover Alaska.

“With this Sober Garden, like so many of the other events we participate in throughout the year, we want to create a place where people can have a great time without feeling pressured to drink alcohol,” Hall said.

The event starts at noon Saturday and ends at 6 p.m. Moser recommends seeks parking at the EasyPark garages on 5th and 6th Avenues.

Miranda Lambert announced the fall release of her seventh major label album during an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times to promote today’s (June 21) all-women lineup at Country LakeShake Festival.

“I would call it old Miranda, but a Miranda at a whole new level, if that makes any sense,” she tells freelance journalist Tricia Despres. “It’s not going to be love song overload or anything like that. [Laughs] I made a career on being a rock ‘n’ roller, and I think fans are going to hear that throughout. And yeah, there is this vibe of being happy that goes through this album. I am really, really happy.”

Life has changed drastically for Lambert since she wrote the forlorn tunes for 2016’s The Weight of These Wings, released the year after her divorce from fellow country superstar Blake Shelton. She married New York City police officer Brendan McLoughlin in early 2019. The couple splits its time between the fast-paced Big Apple and the privacy of Lambert’s rural Tennessee farm.

Fair season is kicking off in North Dakota tomorrow. People were hard at work putting the finishing touches on for the 61st annual fair in Watford City.

The town has quintupled in size. In 2007, the population was just under 1400 and last year it reached over 6500.
And the fair has grown in size too.

“There are a lot more people in town that stay in town looking for something to do, some entertainment so we have tried to gear our fair more towards them. So we have a bigger carnival something other than the rodeo. We added the derby a few years ago trying to get a different segment of the community,” said Tim Nelson, president of McKenzie County Fair.

Getting different attractions is helping people get excited about the fair.

“Watching all the kids show their animals and get excited about all the things they’re going to be doing and learning about. Teaching them how to be ranchers and farmers that’s what I’m most excited to see,” said Trudi Skedsvold, Alexander resident.

“To let my child experience the kid rides and to see the animals there,” said Shari foster, Watford City resident.

“Just getting out of the house, just taking the kids there and doing some rides and the rodeo too that’ll be fun,” said Cody Wolf, Watford City resident.

“I’d say the food and the derby I know is Friday,” said Marissa Sheehan, Sidney, Montana resident.

“We don’t. This is enough for a county fair. We made add something Wednesday evening to try and pick up. But by the time the 4-H kids bring their stuff in, everybody gets set up, they’re ready to go home on Saturday. That’s enough,” said Nelson.

Another big change made was switching the fair from July to June to make sure the carnival is in town right along with all the fair fun.

The fair is free and runs through Saturday.

As your list of prepping goods to attain continues to grow, negotiating is something you can begin to practice now. For many preppers, budgets are limited and acquiring even the most basic sets of supplies and equipment can be daunting, especially for families.

One way to overcome tight economic conditions is to learn the tradecraft of swapping or bartering. This can mean exchanging hard goods for hard goods or soft supplies in any mix that willing participants are agreeable to swapping. Vital skills can also be traded as well.

First you need to conduct an inventory of everything you can live without. At the same time, start jotting down critical items that you need. You may have seemingly innocuous stuff like several extra clay flower pots to get rid of, a couple redundant tool sets, a third chainsaw, or a couple unused bicycles in the garage.

Things that sell or trade well are baby clothes (in fact anything baby), so if you are done having children, it may be time to get rid of the baby stuff. Check every closet in the house, the attic, basement, and the garage. You may be amazed at just how much stuff you will find that you can do without.

Many preppers are highly skilled and have a huge range of talents to share. These may be mechanical as in automotive engine or auto care in general, or even small engine repair from lawn mowers, snow blowers, chainsaws, or anything that runs on gasoline. Maybe you are a bang-up carpenter who can remodel homes, build storage sheds, or add on another room. Could be you can even design and build a bugout cabin in the wilds. Be honest about what you can do.

You may have tech skills with the knowledge to repair or set up computers or systems at businesses or for private individual uses. Perhaps you are a nurse or medical practitioner and particularly under SHTF conditions you may be able to trade services for items or supplies you need.

Finally, what do you need? A gas powered generator? Maybe you need an ammunition reloading setup. This list can be endless, but the best bet is to aim for major big-ticket items rather than everyday supplies. Hardware and gear may be hard to come by later.

Learn to practice tradecraft. It is a vital skill when times get tough.

The hashtag #mealprepping has been used more than half a million times on Instagram. That’s about the same as #chiapudding, another food trend that’s popular in the digital world, but more than #detoxing, which many like to brag about on social media. Most of the posts are of containers, symmetrically paired side by side, with different variations of the same food. Alternatively, there might be someone in front of a cutting board, with a colorful vegetable spread, and a caption explaining this week’s meal prep plan. These images are often colorful, aesthetically pleasing, and project “I’m healthy” through your iPhone screen. They reach peak popularity on Sundays, escorted by a final hashtag: #mealprepsunday.

Meal prepping is the act of preparing a week’s worth of meals by strategically reusing ingredients, chopping ingredients ahead of time, putting each meal in a separate box, and labeling them by both meal and day. Some meals will need to be cooked the day of, but the goal is to make eating as easy as possible. Sundays are logical days to #mealprep, but the activity does not have to eat up your entire day. The popular wellness blog The Kitchn publishes a meal prep power hour, suggesting 15 meals can be cooked up in just one hour. Apparently, it is possible. The origins of the movement are hard to nail down that has flourished behind kitchen doors and on Instagram today, but Google searches for “meal prep” only started in March 2013.

It is Type A’s dream, but the movement #mealprep has spread like a grease fire to every variety of personality types. It has also led to the popularity of meal prep services and companies like Hello Fresh, Sakara Life, and Green Blender.

I first heard about meal prepping last year, a little late for a woman in her late twenties on Instagram. I had noticed that my energy levels were dipping late in the afternoon, and I had a nagging sense that my diet was a contributing factor. As a recovering untutored vegetarian who made very poor carb choices, I consulted a nutritionist. She gave me tips, one of which was to meal prep. I was intrigued by the idea at first. By purchasing and cooking meals for the week ahead, I was told I could save a considerable amount by not having to order takeout food or buy lunch at work. I would have a better grasp on my grocery budget — motivation in and of itself, and it would eliminate waste in my fridge. It also gave me a strange sense of control for my week.

Today, I’m on the spectrum when it comes to meal prepping, meaning I plan meals for the week in advance which influences my Sunday grocery list — but I don’t actually cook the meals, or prepare for them to make it easier the-day-of. And there is still usually one mid-week grocery stop. While it works for me, I envy the super organized folks with their weekly meals, but I do wonder this is just another soulless life hack.

Full-on meal preppers say it can be life-changing.

“By cooking and pre-planning all of your meals for the upcoming week, you can save a lot of time in addition to money,” Beverly Friedmann, a 30-year-old living in Brooklyn, tells Salon. “You’re usually thankful at the end of a long workday that you don’t have to cook (or cook every night), or make a last minute trip to the grocery store if you’ve run out of food.”

Friedmann says you also won’t be tempted by using an app to order food.

Jim Mumford is a 32-year-old food blogger of JimCooksFoodGood.com and has been meal prepping for the last ten years. Not just an early-adopter, Mumford’s been prepping since before it was a hashtag on Instagram. He said meal prepping has helped him lose 80 pounds.

“I shop and prep every Sunday,” he said. “I’ll make lunch kits (think salad greens, toppings, dressing) for the entire week.”

Mumford added that now that prepping as a father is a “total timesaver in the mornings.”

Sarah Grimaud, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, says she has noticed that her clients are already meal-prepping before they seek out her nutrition expertise, bringing to light just how popular it has become.

“I always recommend meal prepping to my health coaching clients — though it’s so common now that many of them are already doing it,” Grimaud said. “One of the reasons I recommend it to my health coaching clients is because of the time and mental energy it saves you. You have enough to think about daily and are constantly making choices; meal prepping gives you a break.”

Grimaud added that it can keep people from experiencing what she calls “decision fatigue.” In a world where we have many choices, which has likely been a factor of the burn-out epidemic, not having to figure out dinner every night or lunch sounds like a dream. While I agree with Grimaud, it is hard not to cringe and think that capitalism is to blame for our rushed and time-saving society.

“Decision fatigue is the concept that your willpower is finite; eventually you’re going to get exhausted from making decision after decision and have less self-discipline,” Grimaud added. “Meal prepping is therefore a hero when you have a healthy living goal as less willpower is required.”

It is very rare that an at-home cooking trend becomes an Instagram phenomenon.Daniel Levine, a trends expert and keynote speaker, said he has been following the movement for some time. In his field, it is important to differentiate a fad from a trend, he explains. “A trend is something is something that has longer legs than a fad which comes and goes,” he says.

Meal prepping, according to Levine, is in between both worlds.

“From a fad perspective one thing that it is deriving is on Instagram people are posting photos of their preps,” he said. “The funny thing is that meal prepping is like showing off your glorified leftovers.”

“But it also makes sense in today’s world where everyone is so busy and it saves a lot of time,” he added. “In the 50s they had TV dinners, and today it’s the DIY culture.”
