The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Miso is just fermented soybean paste, it makes great sauce for general use (meat, vegetables, tofu) as well as soup. The "soy revolution" of western nutrition trendsetting is dying as people recognize soy products are no healthier than alternatives, but the exceptions to this rule are fermented soy products like miso (delicious) and natto (fucking disgusting and looks/tastes like snot).

I'm just chillin. Feeling good about today for some reason. I had 5 plums and a nectarine for breakfast so I suspect I'm on some kind of sugar high. WAIF what kind of ice cream?

Well, it'll probably be Moosehead Lake Fudge (apparently everything associated with Moosehead Lake is made of fucking win) with a huge spoonful of peanut butter on it. All of my clothes are too loose, so maybe this will help.

Fuck you Joe. Fuck you in your ASS.

True. Soy is really fucking bad for you in an unfermented form. I cringe when I see people getting Soy milk and other shit for their kids. Fucking them up potentially for life. But then, people eat all kinds of other shit anyway so it can't be anyworse than McDonalds.

 

[damnromulans]

It's not BAD for you so much as it just lowers your sperm count and other non-essential functions amirite?

I like soy milk better than cow milk...

 

[Dak]

lol

 

[waif]

The soy companies have been collaborating with the government to poison our children long enough! I say we put a stop to the unfermented-soy-and-fluoride conspiracy once and for all!

 

[Dak]

If you kept up with news to any degree, you would know more and more towns are starting to either discuss dropping or already have dropped fluoride from their water supply. Regardless whether or not there is a conspiracy involved in adding it, it's not good for you.

Diet soda makes you go crazy later in life.

BUT KETCHUP/CATSUP IS STILL A VEGETABLE YEAH?

I was blown away when I went home by how EVERYTHING was advertised as WHOLEGRAIN/MULTIGRAIN in the supermarket. Nutrition is a more fickle trend than women's clothing. 2 years ago it was NO TRANS FATS, last year it was HEALTHY SOY and now MULTIGRAIN WHITE MIXED WITH WHEAT PASTA is all the rage.

Fuck that.

speaking of McDonalds
today I had a doritos chip that tasted just like a burger from McDonalds. was awesome.

 

[Dak]

All those marketing things are pretty much a lie to make people think they are getting something healthy. Kind of like paying more for "Cage Free" eggs. If you look into what the standards are to get that label, it's pretty ridiculous.

The trans fats at least was legit, they ARE bad for you. But most things that advertise no trans fats, still have all kinds of other unhealthy bullshit in them.

 

[damnromulans]

Also most normal food doesn't have trans fats does it? Unless you're eating chips and lard blocks and shit etc but who really eats that regularly?

(Wait, never mind...there was NUTTER BUTTERS sexpot in her mobility scooter cruising the snack aisles at Target and she was not the only one I saw)

The marketing ploys are totally transparent, I'm always blown away by how many people buy into them so blindly - fad diets and diet pills and whatever Trend of the Week is "healthy" at the supermarket. I probably have a fairly average diet and don't eat enough vegetables but even I can call bullshit when I see it presented to me in a "NOW WITH MULTIGRAINS" package

3rd week into P90X, just finished Yoga X today. Feels good

 

[JontRevolting]

A mate from work got into p90x, sounds like a pretty tough routine.

My girlfriend says cow milk is not meant for human consumption, for several scientifically-supported reasons (science is her thing). Apparently it's only tolerated by Northern European genetic groups (who I guess had that in their culture the longest, thus developing a tolerance for it) whose milk-drinking culture was imperialized to the rest of the world.

 

[unknown]

I figure it's all a crapshoot. Some people live to 90+ years old, smoking and drinking everyday of their lives, and then there are marathon runners who die when they're 50. we're all fucked. eat some fried chicken

I hope you know you've ruined Nutter Butters for me forever.

Northern European genetic groups

You guys go on with your food science stuff. Personally, I cba to pay attention to it. They change their minds about what's good and bad every week or so and never agree on anything. I eat what the fuck I want and haven't gotten fat or died yet so whatever. I don't consume soy in any form because imo that shit is gross.

 

[damnromulans]

That's BS Zeph, they serve cow milk in school cafeterias here and have for years and years. The older generations don't eat/drink as much dairy as the younger ones but they are not uniformly lactose intolerant.

Fried chicken is good. I'm excited about running later but worried that my breakfast/lunch of ten plums and a bunch of pro-shitting yogurt are going to cause grievous humiliation mid-run.

@WAIF haha yeah WORD. I always laugh at (not nice, I know) people with far healthier lifestyles than me who are constantly sick. I never sleep enough and smoke and I'm the healthiest person I know in terms of illness evasion.
