i have always been suspect about soy - minor intake, fine, but when it started being in freakin every pre-packed thing, junk food or 'health' junk food - worrisome
yeah soy industry is massive

I was going to say (but that article says it better) that soy is better when it's fermented (tofu, miso, natto, etc.).

tofu isn't fermented, tho, Shasta! it's "curdled." (it's basically just soy milk cheese). tempeh is, tho, and it's more deliciouser than tofu anyway

there is such a thing as fermented tofu (fu yu/foo yee), though.

natto kind of grosses me out

Finally, something that does.

i like it but in small quantities. i think dan selzer was with me the first time i had natto maki.

it's so good for you. i love bitter foods.

this is my most useful thread

I saw a Propel print ad saying something like "It takes 492 sit-ups to work off the calories from a Vitamin Water."

That many?

barbara's health food store cheezies!

As a bona fide legal expert, I promise that they have no chance with that suit.

easy now. you ain't a lawyer yet buddy.

In seriousness, it's probably more of a publicity move, like basically just to get quotes in the paper about how Vitamin Water isn't actually all that healthy.

i buy a lot of the natural/organic versions of junk food, but i'm not really under any illusions that they are healthier. i generally just think they taste better. regular lays potato chips vs. organic kettle-cooked potato chips -- not really much of health difference of course but the yuppie chips taste 100x better IMO. mcdonald's burger + fries vs. organic fresh-cut fries + veggie burger - again, possibly similar amount of calories/fats but yuppie meal tastes 100x better to me.

although this is definitely true:

honestly it probably is better for you to eat the all-natural cheetos just to avoid preservatives & dubious cheese color.

fat/caloric content aside, there's of course a lot of junk in the non-yuppie versions that is probably better left uneaten

junk food, or just overpriced fruit juice?

has pom already made an appearance on this thread?

i don't know if i would call any not-from-concentrate fruit juice "junk food" -- yes I know they are full of sugars but they come from a pretty pure source -- but they sure as hell fall short of their stated health claims

http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2007/04/25/pinkberry-healthy-dessert/

Some would say that "not-from-concentrate" juice in itself is a bit overrated as health food -- as much sugar as soda and nowhere near the nutritional value of whole fruit.

c/d: not eating "fast food" while eating at local quick crap joints

cabbage!

Any highly processed snack food is junk food. Making an industrial slurry of cabbage, onion, garlic and bell pepper and forming it into chips is more or less just a yuppie Pringle. What's weird is the pretense that it isn't junky if you add kale or acai or some shit like that and charge three prices for it.

jfc dude

hey, I like a bit of junk now n' then. When it gets bad is when you snarf it down every day. <-- low-hanging fruit for the quoted-out-of-context thread.

aimless you better get the onion and garlic powders out of your spice rack stat

aimless is no thread safe from your chin stroking banality

no

hahahaha
