These movies all feel very formulaic and same-y (not masterpieces but enjoyable from an ass-kicking standpoint) but I think the African-inspired aesthetic and awesome soundtrack make it worthwhile.

« on: February 15, 2018, 11:39:48 PM »
I think people are aggressively chasing this social utopia, and traditional male attributes like strength, assertiveness, and independence are seen as contrarian to those ideals. This also contributes to the depression epidemic, because most people without emotional strength feel worthless, weak, and powerless to control their own lives.

Hops also contain phytoestrogens so I wonder why all the believers of the soyboy aren't going after craft beers.

This has been a thing for years. IPAs increase bust size.

Pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that beer is simply empty calories and people get fat drinking it rather than increasing levels of estrogen in the body leading to tit growth.

Not saying the science is sound, just that people have been saying it for years.

In that case, I'll let it slide.

What about if I'm just a lazy piece of shit who wants to spend as little time shopping as possible and looking at labels is counterproductive to that goal

i'd try to convince you (and everyone) to try and care about your health because its a pretty cool feeling having complete control and mastery over your body but ultimately id leave it be because you already admitted youre wrong

Should we stop killing so many animals just for food? Probably yeah, but don't make these dumb arguments about how it isn't healthy or that it tastes bad etc.

Not to start shit back up again or pull a Flee but I missed this part and felt compelled to address it. Red meat is bad for you no matter how you slice it (as are all processed meats.) Some chicken and pork can be good for you but to make them taste better than they actually do you have to sort of make them unhealthy (grease or some sort of flavourful sauce.) The World Health Organisation actually ranks processed meats alongside cigarettes as a major cause of cancer.

Quote
1. What do you consider as red meat?
Red meat refers to all mammalian muscle meat, including, beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse, and goat.

2. What do you consider as processed meat?
Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

7. Red meat was classified as Group 2A, probably carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean exactly?
In the case of red meat, the classification is based on limited evidence from epidemiological studies showing positive associations between eating red meat and developing colorectal cancer as well as strong mechanistic evidence.

8. Processed meat was classified as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean?
This category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. In other words, there is convincing evidence that the agent causes cancer. The evaluation is usually based on epidemiological studies showing the development of cancer in exposed humans.

In the case of processed meat, this classification is based on sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies that eating processed meat causes colorectal cancer.

25. How many studies were evaluated?
The IARC Working Group considered more than 800 different studies on cancer in humans (some studies provided data on both types of meat; in total more than 700 epidemiological studies provided data on red meat and more than 400 epidemiological studies provided data on processed meat).

26. How many experts were involved in the evaluation?
The IARC Working Group consisted of 22 experts from 10 countries.

This isn't to say that cigarettes and red meat are equally cancerous but it's not accurate to say red meat is healthy for you. There are health benefits to eating red meat but when you compare a steak to something that provides an equal amount of protein (and in some cases a complete form of protein with all the good amino acids) it just screams "Not worth it."

I'll concede that the taste argument is a bit of a stretch because personal taste does come into account (though I still maintain raw meat that's only been cooked is a far cry from what people think meat should taste like) but the health argument is valid.

The word appetite comes from the Latin "appetitus," which means "to seek," and the general rule when it comes to using the "in" versus "un" prefix is that you use "in" for Latin-based words and "un" for Germanic based words. "Appetite" being Latin means that "inappetising" in this case is technically correct. I think it's more of that "unappetising" just doesn't carry the meaning I'm going for, sort of like using "unhuman" instead of "inhuman." Technically they have the same meaning, but they carry different uses in practice.

Some meat tastes better than others uncurated, but I think the majority of it is just as inappetising as other "natural food."
That's an un fam.

thats the right word but it feels wrong

I'm confused, you think unappetizing feels wrong?

within the context of my post it feels wrong to use unappetising instead of inappetising.

What's inapealing about unappetizing?

inappealing feels wrong in that context

im not saying im right, im just explaining why i used inappetising instead of the proper word

It's not a country like Uruguay or Argentina which are world renowned when it comes to beef. That's my point.

Why would a cow from one farm taste different from another farm if they're raised and cultivated the same way?
Because they're not raised the same way, that's why some farmers markets have shit that tastes the same as the supermarket.

My question was in reference to why the meat I ate randomly tasted worse than your meat even though they're cultivated the same way.

No I only get sugars from fruits but I have carbs to rely on.
Ah, personally I wouldn't necessarily call that a low sugar diet as most fruits contain a healthy amount of sugar and carbs turn into sugar in your body anyways. What would be considered a normal intake of sugar for the average person here, I would consider an extremely high intake. Anyone who eats or drinks anything with high fructose corn syrup for instance is almost certainly taking in too much sugar. Unfortunately that shit is in just about everything in the US.

 Depending on how your carb intake is I would say you're probably at the level the average person should be having.

Yeah, a healthy amount of carbs and sugars is a low sugar diet. The carbs are just for bulking atm, I plan to cut them out more in a few months time (and the sugar from fruit I burn off immediately anyway).

I'd see a nutritionist if I was you. It sounds pretty far above either of our paygrades to deal with.

For someone with a health condition like mine, eliminating meat would reduce my protein options to virtually zero. Not until they manage to create some edible food substance that contains the required levels of protein with minimal to no levels of carbs, starches, sugars etc. and make it commercially available.

What condition do you have?
Something called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

If you wanna know:
People usually get the beginning stages of it from antibiotics wiping out the good bacteria in their gut, which allows antibiotic resistant bacteria to start colonizing your intestines. It starts more in the colon, giving people IBS or even Colitis but with a very poor diet and general lifestyle it can make its way into your small intestine. Once that happens you can't really process sugar and carbs anymore because the bacteria (and fungi like yeast as well) feeds on it like crazy and it wreaks havoc on the rest of your body producing exotoxins and mycotoxins that circulate throughout your bloodsteam, which can give you all manner of problems like arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, muscle cramps, chronic fatigue and inflammation, depression and anxeity. Not to mention all the digestive problems you'll have.

You can eliminate it with a very strict diet, high levels of probiotics, and anti-microbial supplements, but you have to go through hell during that process, since killing the overgrowth causes it to basically release all the toxins it was slowly secreting in a much bigger 'dose' you could say. Something called a Herxheimer reaction. Which could actually really damage your liver and kidneys so you have to be very careful. People with other infections diseases like Lyme disease go through the same process and it can actually kill you if you kill too much too fast with certain infections.

So after a bit of research it looks like you'd be allowed some beans, tofu and nuts in your case. Lots of ripe fruits and non-starchy vegetables, with some honey to add flavour. That sounds pretty much exactly like my current diet.

https://www.siboinfo.com/diet.html
No I can't have any of those. Especially the honey. I have an extremely severe case of SIBO. One of the absolute worst cases you can get tbh. If I was to eat any of those I would be in a lot of terrible pain. Trust me, I've done a lot of experimentation with which foods I can tolerate and I'm literally at the point where I can only tolerate poultry, fish, and a few vegetables like yellow squash and spinach.

Is this what your doctors are recommending?
My doctor isn't a nutritionist unfortunately. I have to basically go by how my body reacts to certain foods. That's how it goes for digestive disorders like mine because each individual case is different. No two people have the exact same strains or levels of bacteria/fingi in their gut. It's bad enough that we were going to start trying glucose infusions to get some sugar in me without having to eat it because it would just feed the overgrowth otherwise.

Well I'd look into it further, but I can tell your from my own experience that if you're only getting your protein from a few sources you're training your body to only extract protein from those sources, which could cyclically affect your illness. My body rejected soy off the bat too (I'd been avoiding it for so long because I mistakeningly thought it would combat my raising testosterone levels) but after a few days your body instantly remembers where to put the nutrients and it's just another part of my diet. Even nuts shouldn't be a problem for you.

I have a god-tier diet with very low sugar and no processed foods whatsoever.
Really? Are you in ketosis then? My ketone levels were high enough that my doctor was worried I'd end up in the hospital. We wanted me to try and get some amount of sugar back into my diet, but I feel much better when I'm in ketosis. A lot better than if I have even small amounts of sugar.

No I only get sugars from fruits but I have carbs to rely on.

This shit happens everywhere. If you don't get meat from a smaller farm where the animals live freely and eat well it's gonna taste shitty. Not all small farms have good tasting meat, either.

Why would a cow from one farm taste different from another farm if they're raised and cultivated the same way?
