State Your Unpopular Opinions

This^^^ would be an unpopular opinion around here.

 

I have been trying to cut down on meat. I just make vegetable bakes or stir frys without the meat. If you can get the texture right, some vegetables coated in sauce feel like chicken hehe.

 

Post your veggie bake recipes mmm

 

Cool. This is a typical vege bake for me. It's just sweet potato slices, red onion, some tomato and capsicum on top, cauliflower and medium sized pumpkin cubes on the bottom with zucchini slices.. I stir through a creamy white sauce into the cauliflower. sprinkled with a herb mix. Some virgin olive oil on the top, bake until top is crispy




This is just a simple garden salad i was able to create with most of my own grown ingredients.

 

But my bread and butter family tradition, is pork. My specialty is a hybrid Chinese BBQ pork rib infused with my own families spice rubs and Deutsche cooking ways.
I think I filtered this get the roasting veges to stand out, so it looks a little more done that it is. My specialty. Getting that crackling to really puff up like that while drawing up the moisture of my spice mix and herb mix directly under so every bit it crunchy, juicy, delicious and not dry.

First pic is the pork before anything, i cut in into half obviously lol. my big ugly arm scar is visable i have scars all over me.





I also enjoy creating my own breads, this was a yummy cream cheese pull apart garlic bread with bacon. Oh and in the background, a vege bake.

Omg this looks so good! I never make good salads. :/

 

Most of my salads to involve meat like beef strips or pork strips or chicken. I fun salad you can do is, get a tortilla wrap, wrap it to the inside of bowl and bake in oven until its crispy, then you have you own tortilla bowl to eat from. Load that with lettuce, red capsicum, onion cheese, beef strips or calamari, and cucumber and all the dressing/sauce eventually soaks into the tortilla and omg so yum. you can also snap off bits of the tortilla bowl as you are eating. i did have a picture of this, but i think it's on my old iphone.

 

Yeah thats true, I usually buy a whole chicken for around $5 -$7 and get 3 or 4 meals out of it

 

The numbeo nutritional guide for a healthy, sustainable diet at its extreme minimum is €5.84 per day, or €181.04 for a month in the latest European ratings.

Switzerland seems to be paying an absolute fortune for a 1kg of chicken at over 30€ a kilo, while in Germany we pay between 9-10€ a kilo. Anything like a chicken tender in a box of 12 is always about to 6-8 Euros if not more.

The best place to buy bulk food is Costco, but me ay times I think it's too much at times, until I got my big fridge freezer in the garage and now I freeze a lot of it. Im able to get small amounts of meat and greens from our farm but majority is sold to local butcher. I get a discount there.

 

Really? Yeah, here in the UK it can be twice the price for an organic cauliflower. I'm not sure about taste and health.. There are so many other chemicals in our lives! But it's definitely better for healthy wildlife. I'd always buy it if it was the same price.

Silly people. It does depend on your reasons for not eating meat.

Would it?

Well my opinion is that eating pigs is as immoral as eating humans so I guess that's unpopular too.


Another unpopular opinion inspired by Asmodean's avatar suggestion is that The Simpsons is rubbish.

 

In the Netherlands on average still as well. It's a slow change. People are so used to the idea of having a big amount of meat on a daily basis is normal and allright. But yeah, its a serious drain on the environment and completely unneccesary. Skipping meat in dinner like 3 days a week would be a great change already. I don't think I will ever stop eating meat, I don't see the point at all in that. But limiting it and buy quality meat only is the only right way imo. Happily this conviction is getting more popular (slowly but steadily), because people who give a shit about the environment/world/nature and actually use their brain can't deny irresponsible meat consumption is a big part of what's ruining it

 

Yeah... I don't eat pigs.

 

I'd prefer to not drop below 115 pounds... That's what happened last time I did that.

 

I love eating pigs!

Yeah, im on the skinny side these days too. But i think if i would do more working out or physical labour I would still try to increase fat intake in another way. Calory rich yoghurt and other dairy. More baked potatoes. Nuts (you have to time them, eat in small amounts at a time: putting them in fat yoghurt is a good option), peanutbutter. There are ways

 

They're so intelligent... It seems messed up to me.

What did you replace the meat with?

 

i dont need to hunt

i do it because i like doing it

 

Well, I rarely eat them alive.

But yes, i hate seeing them in those intensive farms having shit lifes. Good lifes and quick, painless and unexpected deaths makes it very bearable for me.

 

I don't think that's very good PR for psychedelics if you dislike half the population.

 

Rice, beans, potatoes, veggies, dairy, grains, etc. etc.


Never did get back up to 135 pounds I weighed three years ago, or whenever it was... trying to maintain 125 with pretty much the same diet as above but with meat added every day. (beef or chicken... 90% of that beef in the form of steaks. I won't eat ground beef) I also don't eat pre packaged, processed foods.

 

When you're not in it to lose weight, in fact when that would be an unfavorable consequence, replace meat with other fatty food. It's fairly easy to find calory rich food lol

 

I got to get these moves down for the next EDM festival.
