what's wrong with gluten? i mean, provided you don't have celiac disease
― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link
nothing really wrong there, just not "good" for you. our bodies don't love wheat to begin with but, (like anything) in moderation it won't come near hurting you..
i worked in a veggie freindly kitchen for a while...the problem with this stuff is that you get people that "want" to be "vegetarian" but dont do the work to find out how to eat that way or change their lifestyle....they think they can just eat these meat substitutes and its good for them....the same people wouldnt eat hotdogs for every meal, but when they see "morningstar farms" on the box they think theyre doing something different and/or decent.

It's called Altria and they even own your poop.

Actually, I forgot that the Kraft Foods division was spun off, so your poop may be under a separate corporate entity now.

ben otm re: veggies. my sister and her fiance are very serious about eating well-balanced meals but for every couple like that, there are probably 10+ people who eat too many carbs/cheese/etc. on a daily basis just because they are easily accessible foods without meat. i definitely ran into this problem in college when my dorm offered a "vegetarian" choice at every meal, but that choice was usually cheese lasagna, eggplant parm, or something equally as unhealthy and lacking in balanced nutrition. they had a salad bar, too, but i think their veggies were coated in some kind of preservative or pesticide because i could not eat the lettuce without being ill afterwards :-\

Those baked cheetos are actully pretty good but they seriously disappoint in the leave-your-fingers-covered-in-awesomeness department.

According to Starbucks, a 16 oz Caramel Frappuccino with *whip*=
430 calories 16 g fat 10 g sat. fat 52 g sugar
Maybe not *quite* as bad as a milkshake, but pretty bad.
BTW a 16 oz BURGER KING shake is actually healthier, with about the same level of calories & fat but no saturated fat. (god knows what's in it)

bell labs, i am not but i am trying to cut down on animal fats (except bacon)-- elmo argonaut, Wednesday, June 13, 2007 6:47 PM (3 hours ago) Bookmark Link

haha, me too. i've cut down on meat in a big way, mostly because it's expensive and a pain in the ass to prepare. basically i just buy bacon and eat it on the weekend, in burritos.
if i could afford the fish out here, though, i'd eat that shit 94/7
also: that michael pollan article is great.

yeah i do not understand frappacinos at all and how they are considered a beverage - i see women holding on to this hueg cup and i'm like that's food, that's practically a meal! i also have a thing about big take-out cups. they are weird.

yoga told me to be a vegetarian and then it told me to eat some chicken the other day so i did and now i seem fine again with being sometime-veg whatever. i don't really believe in most packaged food in the first place <-- obv (also, not a yuppie)

see also: lattes. soooo much milk - surely that's enough protein and other stuff to tide you over for many hours, not to accompany a meal, right?! xpost
― tehresa, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Also lattes are pricy if you buy them a couple times a week.

people in brazil eat a lot of stuff that's not great for you -- juice with every meal, cheese and meat like crazy, loads of starches, loads of sugar, big portions. but they're all in amazing shape because they all play soccer and volleyball and lift weights and go rollerblading.

y'know i think there's an indie rock soccer scene here on wed nights (but usually i'm busy wed nights anyway) but you know my feelings on indie rock. and scenes.
i need to adopt a bunch of kids or something like in a movie and then have a soccer team

That piece on protein bars is depressing. It's Lunchables for adults. I thought the era for them ended in the early part of this decade. I was obv wrong. The last time I bought one was when I was going 5 day hiking/camping and needed to carry all my food in.
