such as...? beans are one of the most important staple foods around the world. and if you can afford to eat at all, you can afford to eat beans. compared to most food people in "first world" countries eat, a bag of dry beans is dirt cheap.
Stalk Hmm , yeah I just find its too much carb for me.or just too much to eat! My weight training needs lots of proteins. I know most people's diets need to focus vastly more on fruit +veg tho.
what can i say? americans like their meals the way they like their foreign policy....bloody, brutal, merciless, and ultimately self-destructive....
oh okay I don't worry about carbs, and get enough protein, and don't eat a lot of food. Feels wonderful.
I'm just thinking of people who were really into the veget thing , but they didn't get the right minerals etc. I mean we've got sharp incisors - does that mean we were born to eat some sorts of meat?Honestly , dunno.
you betcha! atriot: to be honest, i'm not entirely joking. i mean, beef IS the #1 source of protein in the american diet.....only chicken approaches its popularity. a lot of americans like fish and seafood, but not nearly so much as red meat or poultry. american consumption of good fish tends to be a lot higher on the coasts, where there is better access to quality seafod.
i'll never claim its unnatural for humans to eat meat. we are perfectly capable of doing so, and it has LONG been a part of our diet. same with some of our ape cousins...like chimps. but a meat BASED diet is unnatural and unhealthy. i dont think its unnatural or inherently immoral to eat meat, but i do think an increase in vegetarianism is a positive thing. it can be done in a sane and healthy manner, and is more ecologically sound. raising cattle for beef is particularly unsound in its current methods. i am not a vegetarian, but do support the vegetarian movement, and believe the world would be far better off if we cut way back on our meat eating. we as a species are having a hard time deprogramming ourselves to living in survival situations. we're designed to fill up in times of plenty to store calories for times of little. not to the extent of a camel, but it works the same way. when we artificially invent a situation where meat is abundant and readily available, its tempting to eat too much, but it can be quite unhealthy for the body as well as ecologically unsound.
food that could possibly make me puke, hmmm, perhaps rotten food--well, okay, that's a bit of a lie cause I have eaten food that was supposedly bad (though, it was good to me) Perhaps Cuitlacoche.....
Peach jam. I gag each time I smell it or taste it. I was sick with a bad stomach flu as a kid, and our ruthless roughneck babysitter with diabetes who liked watching Days of Our Lives while she looked after us, forced me to eat a piece of toast with peach jam on it one morning. I told her that I wasn't feeling well and I was going to puke, she thought I was lying, starting yelling at me, and threatened to give me some sort of punishment if I didn't eat it. So I did, and the second I finished the last bite I ran from the table to the bathroom and puked everywhere in the hallway, which she yelled at me for doing. Maybe the entire situation made me sick to my stomach? I'm not sure, but since then I puke each time I come close to peach jam. Thank god I can still eat toast.
marmalade is better anyway i want to learn to make it homemade so i can make it with tangerines or red grapefruits instead of oranges!
sometimes I wonder if we're meant to eat meat. I mean, one one hand, our teeth...they show no signs of being carnivorous but why would it satisfy so many people if we weren't supposed to eat it?
ahhh, I can't believe so many people hate seafood and hate eggs! :willy_nilly: anyway, my throw up food is probably cottage cheese, just because it looks like it's already been digested. I also find green olives pretty repulsive, as well as bologna. ew.
