    I'm going to guess your country doesn't grow very much corn. There are natural and artificial reasons why corn is so cheap in America.

    Barbs are better, but I'm not sure I would say easier. Maximizing WoTB uptime while babysitting tornado output is not that fun.

    There's a reason you've never heard of chicken tartare. Chicken needs flavor via cooking, and boiling adds none. Salmonella might be a factor too.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Did you forget your sarcasm tags? I guess I never considered people JUST being fans of the new movies. I can understand someone getting hooked by the reboots. But why not go back and watch the wealth of entertaining series and movies? Wrath of Khan is good to this day. DS9's last three...

    Has their been some improvement to foreman grills recently? I had one when I moved into my first apartment(2005), while convenient, would never get hot enough. The amount of cooking time needed to get a nice crust on the chicken(i.e. flavor), would leave the rest of the breast overcooked.

    Double posting won't help you lose weight faster. As for starting cooking, that's a bit trickier. You have motivation(lose weight) but that doesn't necessarily directly translate into wanting to cook. I guess my recommendation would be to find a few meals that you really like and then watch...

    Ah, that was just to house size? Sorry, my bad. Earning potential probably outweighs all others, easily. I often worry if I'm making the right choice settling down in Ithaca, NY in regards to my career. I'm worried I'll have to move someday to Boston or California to get noticeable raises...

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    Goes well with some mercury. More seriously, it was a half-sarcastic attempt to point out that removing something from someone's diet CAN improve your energy and well-being. Do I believe, for most people, gluten is that thing? No. More than likely, it's mostly placebo affect. I'm also...

    Right, but it does contribute to joeboo's original question of "how to fuck do people live in cities". You're really just pointing out how much more of a pain, monetarily, in the ass a city can be.

    Gentrification, mainly. A lot of people in those cities don't buy houses, ever. They just rent and buy nice cars instead.

    Yes, there are healthy version of saturated and unsaturated fats, but you want less of the former. But still some. Some of your recommendations are kind of a bummer. No corn or soy fed animal meat? Hard to do or expensive. And I'm not sure I even understand the reasoning behind that one...

    Sounds like varying saturations of fat. If fructose really is that bad, I'd like to see more than just "sugar Xg" on a label.

    40-50g of sugar is a toxic dose? Isn't that a bit stringent? I just posted 48g by lunch. Here's what I've had to eat: 2/3 cup of milk, 8g of sugar 87g of quaker oat squares, 14g of sugar 100g of plain nonfat greek yogurt, 4g of sugar 1T of grated romano, 0g of sugar 1/4T of honey, 4g...

    I'm not refuting what you're saying about the placebo affect. But it's also doubtful he ate those buns explicitly thinking they were going to give him liquid shits.

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    Seriously, distilled vinegar? I'll take burping/farting for the deliciousness that is gluten-based foods. Headaches and warts? I might consider switching then. Suitable replacements, however, are fucking expensive. And I'm referring to stuff like tapioca flour and xanthan gum.

    Denaut, thanks for the link, that's some interesting data. But that does sort of agree with my point. Educating yourself on what goes into your body is the prime reason I like calorie counting. So, instead of "never drink soda", it should be "you should stay away from soda because it's been...

    Ossoi, I never said you shouldn't pay attention to body fat percentage. Your problem is how you interpret those measurements. Notice how you left out my next sentence where I said BMI can't be applied accurately to an individual? I know what my BMI is because I too was concerned about being...

    I might be. My BMI is right in the middle of "normal" for my height. Of course, BMI is a population average and can't be applied accurately to single person. I am counting calories to put on some muscle mass. And it's helpful so I know to overeat more in protein than other calories. Whether...

    160 lbs, 6'. No idea what my body fat percentage is. Not sure how else to quantify it for you. I wouldn't actually say that's a healthy *portion*. The food is definitely healthy. But I know from your other posts you eat 6 meals a day. Otherwise, for a normal 3 meals a day person, that...

    It's not that much effort. Once you have most of the food and recipes you frequently eat entered into whatever program you would use to track, it's 5-10 minutes a day, tops. And most of that can be done while you're watching a tv show that doesn't require full attention. I'd rather control...
