What did you eat today?

I figured... Anyway, it was a serious question. I don't know! By the way, I told a friend that cooking with olive oil is no good, which he countered with 'I know that counts for olive oil in general but the extra vierge/virgin is for cooking'. Any validity in that?

With a name like "Olive Oil Times" they must be legit!

Olive oil is not suited for cooking because it is not stable with high heat (unlike coconut oil). However, it's great in its raw form.

 

I am already convinced it's healthy in raw form (are there exceptions btw?), but not sure if there's any reason for thinking extra virgin olive oil is better for cooking than 'average' olive oil or if they are all equally bad for that purpose.

 

I don't have an answer to your question. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil both straight from the bottle ANd low temp cooking. It just has a very pleasing flavor for me. Any health benefits are just a extra plus.

 

BTW I haven't eaten yet today, I've just had 2 cups of coffee.

 

Hello,

had some elderflowers. Yummy stuff, just don't forget to swipe the critters off before eating the flowers .

ate a sandwich for lunch just a short time ago

 

Rib eye steak and bread. I don't eat a lot of meat, but sometimes I just gotta have it.

 

The bread will kill you long before the meat. Just saying. I don't know where the idea comes from that meat is bad, but somehow bread and pasta are healthy.

Cheers Glen.

 

I'm not going to worry about it. Everything in moderation. If I died every time someone told me I would, I would need to be a cat with nine lives. So far every time a doctor told me something bad was going to happen to me (including that I was gone to die), they were wrong.

 

I know, I just find it aggravating when people list what they eat, of which 70-80% of the things listed are high glycemic carbs, then they act like the meat is going to shorten their lives if they eat it too often.

Pasta and whole grain mustard.I just wanted to know what it tastes like.

 

I never said I thought it was going to shorten my life. I just said I don't eat a lot of meat. I believe food affects everyone differently and each people needs to find the ones that work the best for themselves.

 

Getting all aggravated about other peoples diets, being so fascist about your diet, you probably won't live longer, it'll just seem that way...

 

Allergy pill, a couple of vitamin D pills, a coffee, and a spliff. Now time to make some eggs and toast

 

Some meat is very bad and I reckon some bread is too. Since we find it logical and obvious that it's not as black and white as in not all vegetarian stuff is good and all meat is bad could it be not all bread 'will kill you long before the meat' p), especially if people are selective in it just as you with your meat. You don't even know what kind of meat other people are consuming so... seems like a bogus exaggeration to me.
