“Don't forget those who are unable to eat wheat. We are surrounded by wheat-pushers, too.”

megwolff on Sep 15, 2010 at 09:32:05

“Hello Angela,

I answered this last evening, but it didn't get posted, sorry!

If you don't eat wheat you could still make the above recipe, but have it on a bed of brown rice as I suggested in the post (or some other type of bread not containing wheat).

I'm certainly not a wheat pusher and personally can go without it for months as I eat quite a wide variety of foods. But, I can understand your point if you're wheat sensitive and all you see are recipes for wheat!

Gives me an idea for another post!

Oh and, what do you generally do for lunch?”

No, we don't need to do more inspections. We need to fix the things that we know are catastrophes waiting to happen.”

“The issue is, of course, that the people who are "horrified" at the crassness of those who only want to pay for what they ate are the one who deliberately ordered the most expensive things on the menu, appetizers, drinks, and dessert, and were planning on having the working stiff in the next seat pick up their tab. Boohoo. If you aren't willing to pay for your own meal, stay home. Don't expect me to pay your share.”

“I taught in a school where in November the school decided to crack down on the dress code, which was intended to be only a guideline. Girls whose tops and bottoms left skin showing at the waist were sent home to change into something more appropriate. But the worst offenders didn't own anything that was appropriate, and were upset that they couldn't show 6" of bare skin at the waistline. The dress code was there all along. The school just didn't think girls were going to show up in clothing that would have been considered obscene without a bikini wax.”

“Craigslist did have the option of screening ads for illegal content, but they decided they could make more money by permitting the illegal ads and charging for them. The fact that they have had only one category and permit the prostitutes to flag all legal services never changed.”

Phil11514 on Sep 11, 2010 at 03:24:53

“Excuse me, that is complete nonsense and you do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Craig's List DID NOT "have the option of screening ads for illegal content" -- in case nobody has explained it to you, there are millions of ads run on Craig's list every day, including hundreds of thousands in the "Adult Services" category (which still exists as the "Erotic Services" category outside of the United States). Craig's List has LESS THAN FIFTY PAID EMPLOYEES - how the @#$% are they supposed to supposedly monitor every single ad that gets submitted? They can't - it's physically impossible.

Contrary to your false and l-y-i-n-g assertion, Craig's List never once "decided they could make more money by permitting the illegal ads and charging for them."  In fact, it used to be ABSOLUTELY FREE to post ads in the "Erotic Services" category! The ONLY reason that Craig's List even started charging for running the ads IN THE FIRST PLACE was because THE GOVERNMENT ASKED THEM TO!!

The stoopid attorney-generals naively thought that if Craig's List was pressured to require anyone posting an ad in the "Adult Services" ad to supply a verifiable phone number and pay for the ad with a traceable credit card, the number of ads being posted in the "Adult Services" category would instantly dry up. As usual, they were wrong - but rather than admit their failure, they chose instead to blame Craig's List for THE POLITICIANS' OWN FAILED STRATEGY. ”

“A change from an unhealthy diet to a healthier one is often accompanied by a change in energy. But a positive change in energy also accompanies a decrease in calories, which is your body's attempt to get you to go out and kill something to maintain your weight. Most raw vegans are showing clinical signs of malnutrition by the end of their first year.

There is no such thing as "cleansing the system". Regular fasting is not healthy for you. It results in loss of muscle mass.”

Alvarask on Sep 8, 2010 at 20:43:11

“Angela thanks for your intelligent comment! I think you're on the money vis a vis vegans, although I will never criticize a vegan for their dietary choices. On the issue of fasting, I agree with you if the kind of fast in question is more than one day long. My fasts (500 calories in one day constitutes a "fast") last for only one day and so do not cause the body to go into starvation mode. No muscle mass is lost. I do not undertake them to cleanse the system but for a variety of reasons ranging from switching on my "eating consciousness" to improving insulin sensitivity to reducing inflammation...there is some superb science out there on this. In the first few months of this year I not only improved my overall health and lost weight using this technique, I also came completely off asthma medication (obviously asthma is an inflammatory disease). I have been blogging on this subject and tell anyone who wishes to do what I have done that restricting overall calories is not a good idea and that they should never EVER fast for more than one day. In essence I believe we are on the same page....this is not about "cleansing".”

“I was wondering about that. So much research is reported with "findings" that are poorly-supported by the data, and may ignore clearer but politically incorrect findings.

“Excess carbohydrates consumed definitely are stored as fat. The body can use either fat or carbohydrates as energy. Alcoholics? They are seriously malnourished, not an examle of anything. Although alcohol tests as carbohydrates, it is not metabolized like starch or sugar.

Asians come in many different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities with many different traditional diets. Many nowadays have adopted the Western diet. Often Westerners idealize Asian diets by imagining them to be something very different from the unhealthy foods that people there are actually eating. The "traditional" Asian diet includes a traditional Japanese diet, which is miso soup, white rice, pickles, and little else. It is also coconut curries, fried wheat breads and pastries, and many other things not normally considered healthy. To say Asians are uniformly thin is just plain incorrect. Only poor ones eat the diet you describe voluntarily.

That is just bad research, pseudoscience by cherrypicking, oversimplification, and bad analogy, plain and simple.”

“Indeed, anyone who properly follows the Atkins diet is eating lots of vegetables, and regularly eats portions of fruit, grains, and beans. Unfortunately many who say they tried the Atkins diet never even read the book. I would guess she spent years eating lean meat but little else.”

“Which Atkins plan is the correct one? The original one that came out in the 1970s with no restrictions on saturated fats? Or the one after the discovery of the glycemic index in 1980s that allowed for low glycemic vegetables and fruit? Or the one in the 200s witha restriction on saturated fat to 20 percent of calories and the addition of omega-3 oil?”

“It has nothing to do with "purees". "Purees" are a Western affectation for people who believe that you have to feed special foods to babies. They can't eat real foods like every other baby for the last million years did.

My daughter sat at the table and ate exactly the same food we did when she was ready to eat, with no modification.

Ah, but purees are necessary when you force-feed a child that is not yet ready to eat, another Western affectation.”
