Green peppers are delicious. Yall are crazy. But liver is seriously gross. We all have our lines. Liver smells like death. Screw that.

What a bizarre and arbitrary set of rules! Some foods can be picked and eaten at different stages of ripeness. There isnt one correct stage to eat each product. Do you hate green olives too? Pickled green mangos? Small zucchinis? Squash flowers? Green beans? Snap peas? All of these mature into...

Because if you do that your kid grows up scared to try new food because they "might not like it". They grow up into Trex or Noodle. Its a handicap. I want my kids to be able to walk into a dinner party and eat whats served and enjoy it. To walk into a restaurant and order anything off the menu...

Exactly! I frequently reply to only the sender leaving out the boss, specifically to avoid the appearance of this tattling behavior. In my case it wasnt directly bitching about me but you hit the nail on the head, its indirect passive aggressive tattling. Bitch email to me: Hey do you have any...

Liking variety in food isnt a hipster thing, its a hedonism thing.

/armchair psychiatrist time Genuinely not criticizing here, cause who gives a fuck. But I think itd be interesting to explore what you mean by this. Cause look, its not like zucchini tastes like bacon to me. Or cheddar cheese. Or grilled steak. It tastes completely different from many of the...

I'm kinda curious what the "gotcha" will be, but not curious enough

Once, in a relatively high end hotel in the Philippines, I ordered bacon and eggs. These motherfuckers served some kind of sheep or goat "bacon". It sure as shit wasnt bacon (i.e. smoked, salt cured, pork belly). Worst of all it wasnt even cooked crisp. Picture a limp, room temperature thin...

Perhaps an analogy will help clear this up. If you get a blowjob from a supermodel while also getting pedicure from a 60 year old vietnamese grandmother, I suggest that your brain will only register the blowjob. I'm failing to see the problem. You want to taste more potato?

Yeast isnt an animal, its a fungus. If a vegan avoids yeast thats even dumber than the usual vegan standard. Then again, wine is also made with yeast so yeah, dumb. I'm pretty sure some of the fatty acids from meat are needed for proper brain development.

WTF, dude, WTF. I was just messin around with the arugula thing, cause who really cares. But fucking bacon? I have to recommend a thorough psychiatric evaluation right away. Crispy, salty, umami-y bacon? My two year old loved bacon before she could say bacon. All three of the kids will...

This probably goes without saying but sometimes people fail to see the obvious. The problem wasnt your number. The problem is your notion that cumulative earnings are a worthwhile metric for contribution to society. The stay at home mom (lifetime earnings: zero) contributes vastly more to...

This sounds really simple but its surprisingly awesome. Buy the wholest whole-grain mustard you can find (something that looks like completely intact mustard seeds). Salt and pepper the salmon, then spread the mustard on ~2-3 mm thick for a crust. Broil to medium-medium rare. While its...

I eat anything but Uni. That shits gross. Nobody can really like that awful smell/tase/texture combo. Everything else in the ocean is delicious. Crabs and lobsters have essentially the same diet fyi, makes no sense to eat one but not the other based on some attempt to avoid scavengers. Know...

Not every proposal for reforming the vote increases the power of the 1% at the expense of the 99%. My proposal would fix shit.

Yes, 2007 is relatively recent for a field that goes back to 1926. LOL. Here is another thats not behind a paywall. http://www.academia.edu/download/42073023/Alcohol_Dosing_and_Total_Mortality_in_Me20160204-9573-11tszur.pdf Believe what you like but the experts who study this for a living...

PPS, without making any pedo arguments, bush is just way hotter than bald.

No, you are wrong. The data are extraordinarily strong. Its not some new flash in the pan idea; its actually been documented for decades. It was first reported by Pearl in 1926. The Kaiser Permanente program has conducted decades of studies on this topic. Here is a relatively recent paper from...

Seriously hate it when people wont admit to their guilty pleasures. Fuck that, everybody wants McDonalds or Taco Bell or Carls Jr sometimes. "Not me, it just makes me sick thinking about those little chickens in their cages. Havent you seen this documentary!?" /stab People who claim to never...

I wouldnt call you a plebe, its not about class. I'm not sophisticated and not making fun of other for being unsophisticated. I just like to make fun of people who call themselves "supertasters" and literally eat the same bland diet preferred by every 2 year old I've ever raised. Its like...

This. This is what I meant. People arent "super tasters", they just dont like bitter. Which makes exactly as much sense as "I dont like sweet", "I dont like sour" and "I dont like salt". Its one of the five fundamental tastes. Children avoid bitterness. Adult palates generally prefer a balance...

(Have I used this one yet? I dont remember) People who email your boss when you fail to respond to their first email. Bitch, you may be legally allowed to do that but recognize that its fucking personal now and we are now enemies for life. You go straight from a single missed email to "notify...

Arugula is obviously delicious. Peppery and spicy with just the right amount of bitter, a great base that can stand up to strongly flavored vinaigrettes. Pretty sure youre trolling -- who couldnt like arugula -- but its so tasy I'll fall for it anyway just to spend a minute thinking about arugula.

Now this is a reasonable response. Absolutely. There are some gross unappealing beef curtains out there. But I dont declare all pizza disgusting just because I ate that Chicago crap once. It just makes you appreciate the good stuff more when you find it. As for all this "supertaster" crap, Im...

I woke up to discover my fellow FoH posters dont like the way vaginas look or the way beer tastes. I dont want to live in this world anymore.

I'm gonna step out on a limb and speak for all straight men here: no. While there is huge variation in the visual, aesthetic appeal of vaginas, I think you'll have a hard time finding many straight men who'd agree with your statement. As evidence, I'll offer up this little fledgling industry...

I dont carry a pocket knife. I have no good excuse. I experience a sincere moment of "I'm not a real man" every time someone pulls one out.

I recently discovered neither of my grad students can open beer bottles without some highly specialized tool either. These are some educated and well traveled people who can write code and do complex molecular biological lab procedures. But beer bottles, that shits advanced topics. I told them...

Its true. Carrying a special tool to open a beer bottle is like carrying a special tool to unhitch that first sheet of toilet paper thats stuck in place when you start a new roll. Bottle opener? Its called "the nearest flat edge or straight object".

WTF, how do you put a wallet in your front pocket? Thats like mayo on hot dogs. Does not compute. Keys front right, phone front left, wallet back right.

The question is: Did veganism-induced nutrient deficiencies lead to this conspiracy theory nonsense, or were both the veganism and the conspiracy nonsense caused by the same underlying cognitive problems?

Several people have mentioned no kids. And statistically there is some support for that position; apparently having kids has a slight destabilizing effect on average. I've found the opposite, myself. When the wife is driving me insane (they all do this occasionally) I remember, she has given me...

The rules proposed in the OP are completely retarded and not worth discussing. But that doesnt mean we cant change voting rules. Here is my preference: Everyone 18+ gets to vote just like today. BUT the ballots now include 10 questions next to each candidate. These questions ask about that...

I dont know anything about your buttsex preferences and have never commented on that. Only pointed out that youre objectively, demonstrably wrong and that "personal experience" is a shitty basis for any argument on measurable things like biochemistry.

This is beautiful. Here it is folks, study it well. The anatomy of a feels based reasoner. Your "personal experience" is an anecdote. Its basically completely worthless and not even worth bringing up in conversation. Your personal experience is a biased, subjective perception of an...

Here is a fun thing I like to do. When there is a subject that can be addressed with hard evidence -- experiments and empirical measurements -- I like to start from the assumption that the PhDs who have been studying the subject for about 100 years have probably come up with some good ideas. I...

One of us agrees with the Nutritional Biochemistry textbook. One of us does not. One of us is about to go eat a delicious and nutritionally balanced lunch. One of us will eat gluten free free range bean sprouts or some shit. I'll leave you to figure out which is which.

It is *possible* to have a healthy vegan diet. Its not possible to have a vegan diet thats better than a optimum non-vegan diet. But thats all hypothetical because actual vegans on planet earth (at least in the US) have terrible diets. None of them get enough protein (0.35 g / kg body weight...

Except that theyve been clinically shown to basically have no effect in people with normal nutritional and health status. Other than that, sure.
