Aw yeah.

You can warn me all you want, but you'll never stop my leafy green fetish.

(fixed for correct quoting of the song)

Arch

i like this one for the name alone

Drez

Me too! I give myself full support.

Arivia

I thought about posting a [chat] like this:

"what vegetarians want to be: picture of Auschwitz survivor"

"what vegetarians are: giant hambeast"

but this will do, Drez

this will do

Arch

lol low carb diets

and you make fun of MY diet will

noooooo arch now you're being unscientific

best way to counter unscience, i have found

also still not sold on the science of low carb buddy, and I have been doing reading about it pretty frequently

honestly you seem to have wanted not to believe it from square one

True enough, but I am still open about it.

I will say that I don't buy the ONLY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT shpeal about it

because that just ain't true

well yeah that's not true

I will be honest, the sycophants for the diet have tainted my view of it, which I understand is a delicious tray of irony

Also because most low-carbers seem to hate on vegetarians like no ones business

Man. I was gonna post pictures of Milo Ventimiglia and Alicia Silverstone. "These are sexy vegetarians. Discuss." But this is way better.

Arch

I also understand that eating a lot of fiber can help keep your body from absorbing too much from the food you eat, and the vegetarian diet has hella fiber, so I think that can help keep the belly rolls away even though I eat like so much pastas

My company is in a Catch 22 where they want more people to work at home, since we're running out of desks to place people, but won't fork up for the laptops to let us do so.

I just VPN in and then VNC into my desktop.

This is a thing they're looking at: "Dumb terminals" which log into remote machines. I like the sound of it.

Those have been around forever.

Neither of those animals are typically served as foodstuffs in Kansas, so if you want them you have to find them. Boar is easier than bear, you just have to drive onto the fort and sneak back off with a dead one.

They aren't in Texas either. Well boar is served a little. There is actually a bounty on boar here.

Wild pigs are pretty much the thing I was most afraid of when I used to ramble about in the countryside out in east Texas when I was younger.

Psychopathic murderers on four legs.

When I took the girls and their boyfriends camping, I brought my gun. Re-chambered it for 9 mm and prayed I'd figure out a good story to tell fish and wildlife if I had to shoot a boar. Damn things are anger and tusks.

against boar or bigger you'd probably be better off with 10mm

but the 17 frame won't handle a 10mm barrel, so oh well

I would have preferred to have .375 or .44 for that situation but you work with what you've got.

I support this [chat]'s name since it makes me think of spinach which is yummy.

oh mannnnn i need to eat me some spinach sometime soon

Arch

this plan cannot fail

I am actually with Arch on low carb. I don't fully believe everything that is said about it. I would stick with the moderation is a better idea across the board for such diets. I think Americans are just looking for a way to keep eating tons of food but not to be to fight when you shouldn't just be eating that huge amount of food.

I dunno. Explanations for obesity trends that are simply "people today are gluttons and lack discipline" don't really strike me as true.

It's some combination of modern lifestyles and modern food products. It's not like sloth is spreading across the world.

I just realized I haven't had spinach in a long time.

This should be remedied.

I find it interesting that some people are all "losing weight is simple - eat fewer calories than you burn" and then a few breaths later "but carbs are bad calories!" Wait, what happened to "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie?"

Drez

I actually had these spinach taquitos from 7-11 last night.

Putting aside the fact that I bought hot food from 7-11 last night, they were so good. Just the right temperature and flavor.

A bulk amount of spinach makes me a little sick, but the right amount can make the perfect meal.

This is my exact reason for not being vegetarian. I can't afford to buy my own meal alternatives. When I was in Uni a few years back, I gave up red meat entirely and ate only chicken or turkey on the rare occasion when there wasn't a decent vegetarian option available. I still ate fish, though. Fish is the one thing that I think I'll have a lot of trouble giving up when that time comes.

at this rate though most of our fish will probably be dead on account of being too weak and puny to breathe oil

look on the suuunnnnny siiiiiiide~

And obesity remedies that are simply "eat this and not that" also seem to ring a bit hollow as well.

I will fully get behind that the amount of corn products and carbs we eat is most likely unhealthy when combined with the average American's low-energy lifestyle, but that doesn't make carbs in and of themselves the devil

Pretend that this post is a picture of Hitler wearing spinach as a mustache.

In fact, if you cross your eyes REAL HARD, he'll reach out of his monitor and feed you spinach at blitzkrieg speeds!

I don't really know much about this topic, but I would think it is generally true that people eat more and exercise less now than they used to. Not because of any "sloth-ness" or anything, but just because more people work in front of computers and in offices all day and thus get less exercise while eating more fast-food and high-cal foods because they're quick and easy.

Is this not the case?

You mean like massive amount of calorie dense food, mixed with very little exercise?

Also Feral I know man, I even stated so. I was pointing out the hypocricy of all the meat eaters cheering the legislation.

So this chat wins, then, yes?

Good, cuz I just got done eating a delicious turkey burger. Mmm turkey.

There's a vegetarian Indian resturant near where I live named Chat Patti. It's a combination of a thrilling joyride full of edge on your seat excitement and a delightful fun-filled romp that the whole family can enjoy.

tofu stew sounds revolting

that's the other thing about vegetarians

their standards for what tastes good are incredibly low

like

if something doesn't actually sicken you, it's then declared to be awesome as long as it meets their dietary requirements.

"hey guys this satien and mock ham with veggie cheese casserole is delicious!"

eggs and pasta

two staples of my diet

i am probably going to die soon

Mazzyx

It is combination of what people eat, how much they eat and how much they excercise. Americans eat to much unhealthy food, too many of what ever they are eating(low carb, high carb and so on) and don't exercise as much as they should. And the low carb thing seems to me as too much of a quick fix thing for me with out fixing the numerous causes of obesity in this country.

guys they just called with the offer

Guys this is such a hard decision.

are you comfortable jogging with your shirt off

are you more worried about scandalizing others or feeling self conscious

I am worried about being the creepy guy running with his shirt off with the jiggling man boobs and the farmer's tan.

But it is the only solution to the farmer's tan so what do I do!?

What's up chat? Star craft 2 is pretty good times. I played a lot of it yesterday.

Also I have frigging allergies! Lame, huh.

I don't trust Americans to judge what does and doesn't taste good. You people think hfcs is an acceptable substitute for sugar.

isn't it basically that carbs are calorie-dense while not being especially sating?

and also something about insulin suppressing fat metabolism?

so basically everyone sits on toilets and whoever shits last loses? sounds great.

also, will, I don't know about you, but I specifically look for real actual vegetarian restaurants/places because that shit does taste awesome.
