Snack food thread.

I bought some tempeh today. It's not gross, but lacks significant flavor.

 

Yeah? I think he's in touch.

Hmm. I feel like most people don't have a very healthy diet. When people who are healthy are the outliers you know something is wrong.

heart disease is an extremely prevalent cause of death though

 

I like peanut butter and crackers with a glass of whole milk.

 

Imagine if you had deep fried mars bars nearly all the time. Not only it would be bad for you but you would be at risk of diabetes.
Also imagine if you deep fried your sandwiches at lunch time. Try having foods that aren’t deep fried.

 

I just had a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich and a coffee.

If i have bananas i always have a banana and honey sandwich.

 

Looks like a bird seed bar

 

Yeah. Flax seed I think. It wasn't very good, but it's super duper full of protein (18g per serving; 2.5 servings per bar-thing).

 

I'm not big on videos; I do apologize. But I am interested in your perspective. I think that mostly when I hear people talk about meat or dairy or eggs and how cholesterol isn't bad, I'm always reminded that these are multi-million dollar (or more) industries and they are spending boo coo bucks to make sure the word is out that their product is healthy.

What are we doing to our health by eating them? That's my question.

I guess in moderation you can get away with things like eggs, but the study I was shown explains that the egg industry itself cannot justify eating more than 4 eggs per week. That is less than I like to eat eggs; and I don't eat them anymore.

 

It reminded me of those sesame seed bars.
Looked a bit like it had something else in it that resembles nougart

 

As for snacks of the healthy kind i usually buy those Uncle Toby's museli bars from coles supermarket.
Yummy snacks like that keep me going until lunch time.

 

Smiths snacks. Are you sure? They look harmless.​

 

The intensive chicken and eggs industry poses a disturbing health risk too. I mean hundreds of thousands of chicken in one place, often under terrible conditions. How careful people may be, sooner or later such a thing goes wrong.
Organic and/or freerange chicken may on average have a bigger ecological footprint than the cheap ones that never see the light of day and are raised more than twice as quick, but here the trick obviously lies with consuming less chicken. We take eating chicken for granted, while we combined consume so much it takes a big toll. It costs more than what we spend on it. What we need is responsible consumer behavior, which imo means going for animal friendly and circulair or organic raised and limiting the amount. Getting nuggets should be an exceptional treat, not a regular indulgence for example.

Is the connection certain or a guess/assumption?

 

I love having salada crackers with cheese and vegemite on them.
When i was little i used to go to my aunt's place where she would prepare a milo and a salada crackers with vegemite and cheese on them.
She used to have a siamese cat called ming who spent some time on my lap

 

Just had a salada cracker with raspberry jam in it

 

I made myself a full curry for lunch yesterday, but come tea time ( around 18.00) I fancied a burger, so grilled a couple, and slapped them between two pieces of bread with a few slices of raw onion - it was luverly !!!

 

Milo, don't think I've had Milo since I was a teen
