A rolling compendium of everything Julian eats: a guide to healthy living

Boom!
that I can totally agree with
moderation is good with everything (except the 930 board)

I have this neighbor who feeds their kid tofugly things three meals a day and they are convinced they are providing that child healthy sustenance
child has pretty bad developmental issues and I feel that his diet actually is a contributing factor
I guess one of my biggest annoyances with discussing food/nutrition with people is so many people want to treat "healthy" as a binary thing: a certain food is either "healthy" or it is "not healthy." And in the vast majority of cases, that's idiotic. Almonds are healthy and ice cream is not healthy so it must follow that eating 8,000 calories of almonds a day is healthy and eating a 1/4 cup of ice cream once a week is unhealthy. No, that's absurd.

The totality of one's diet and exercise regimen is healthy or not. Jaded can eat an amount of food that the average person could not do so healthily because his exercise regimen is standard deviations above the mean. Someone else eating the exact same foods with a sedentary life-style is going to turn up very different health-wise. Everything is interconnected. But people like to make grand sweeping statements like "soy is unhealthy" and its just eye-roll inducing. How much soy? How often? What are you eating in addition to soy to fill other macro-nutrient needs? Like no, if you're the model of diet and exercise and eat a tofu scramble once a week, you're not going to grow giant moobs of cancer.

What?  That is a bold claim with zero evidence. 

"I feel" aka talking out of one's ass

(by the way, I am not saying that you might not be right; I am not a nutritionist. but saying your neighbor's kid has developmental issues BECAUSE of his diet, is kind of messed up especially since you state it is because of your feelings on the matter and not facts.  Does your neighbor talk like this about you and your family and your diet?)

that was a pretty epic retort
I didn't say it caused it, that's not where I was going with that, but I can see my choice of phrasing could be improved.  And I would never argue that my ass doesn't have a wide vocabulary.

I'm an anecdotal internet doctor…please never take my advice…seriously!

I feel that what you eat, is really important, from whilst in the womb until the last day you walk on this plane. It's a corny saying, but you are what you eat. There is a tremendous amount of 'food' out there and personally I think it's poison and won't kill you in small doses (kinda like cigarettes). 


That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I just want to note I did not say that

contributing factor I did and admittedly out of my ass. 

But maybe the grammar police would mediate this one?

For every 50 people I see on the trail when riding my bike…only 1-2 look like they are having a good time
I bet Jaded has a big grin when he runs tho

Saw photographic proof that Jaded does in fact run with a big grin…even in the rain
I can only attribute it to persistent delusion syndrome
Well, that /was/ at mile 4…

To add some context to your italicized summation, what you're calling "meat" is "human DNA" which speaks more to unhygienic production standards (which is obviously alarming on its own) more than a bait-and-switch where people are labeling something vegetarian when it is not.

The article was actually kind of confusing and rambled from one finding to another and back again.  Making it hard to know if they were talking about the dna (which could just be dandruff…umm yuk) or actual meat in the veggie hotdogs
But it did clearly say in a variety of products, chicken, beef, turkey and lamb appeared specifically where they were not supposed to
i'm disappointed in the lack of self-righteous gloating in this thread today.
