I had a chicken salad. It was tasteful, dignified, consensual.

This! This is what I'm talking about. Community building stuff, right there.

None of this is food.

you said yes to the Greeks!
roast beef, is not food?
walk,on,by wrote:grateful seems to subscribe to some belief that anything that is processed or has chemicals that aren't naturally found in the earth somehow stops being food. He's not talking about the strict dictionary definition of "is edible and provides caloric intake" like the majority of us think when we hear the word food. He subscribes to some hyperbolic world view where someone who drinks a Diet Coke once is automatically unhealthy whereas someone who eats a four digit caloric lunch from chipotle daily is healthy simply because those ingredients are not processed.

Or, something to that extent that he will attempt to clarify in a way that makes it sound less bat shit insane.
there is a line
The way they make the bread, the sauces and the processed meat are questionable products that are created almost solely to drive the bottom line and if people like them then that's a bonus
but health is by far the last consideration
it's not just about calories, but nutrients and how your body processes them
Highly refined food is really not the panacea that corporations would have you believe…in fact quite the opposite
your body just doesn't process it like food (remember anal leakage~!)
your brain and body are being tricked with the aid of science
Factory farmed meat can be a pretty nasty cocktail of drugs/antibiotics and very low nutritional content
let alone what it does to the environment and treatment of animals
So I do believe that he is somewhat right when he says 'it's not food'
and I believe it's far healthier to eat more calories than toxic 'food'
also you need fat…just shouldn't be from toxic animals as the crap gets stored in the fat
oh yeah and smoke a joint and chill out

For lunch I had:
Lightly toasted sourdough
Dollop of Hellmann's
Sliced tomato picked this morning from my backyard
Pinch of Maldon
Freshly ground pepper
In fact, that's what I have had for lunch each day this week and will continue to have each day the vines gift me one of their luscious fruit. I love this time of year.
