This is massassi were talking about here. I blame the shutdown of the zone not allowing us to take out our frustrations on each other any longer.

Except beef and chicken get boring sometimes and tofu is a good alternative. Fish too but it's harder to cook


Theres a lot more meats than beef and chicken.

:v:
nope.

If beef gets boring it's probably because you only eat well done steaks or some nonsense. Maybe all you ever buy is top round because it's so cheap.

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I just like variation. Maybe I can't grill a medium rare fillet every other day. Maybe you're just a being wise ***.

Vegetarian propaganda. In Asia, tofu is eaten in moderation for the most part, unlike Western vegetarians. While they do eat it regularly, they don't eat every meal of the day, unless they really can't afford anything else. Traditional Chinese culinary theory states that tofu should always be served with meat.

Anyways, the main reason I don't eat tofu a lot is that vast amounts of forest must be cleared in order to grow the beans.

And the meat industry produces lots of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. You can't really be environment friendly unless you grow your own food.

I was aiming for the more common meats.

Also I don't think locusts count as meat. :P
nope.

It's probably eaten by people we'd refer to as "tribal" or "indigenous" such as Tuareg, Bedouin or the Ma'dan of Iraq. Most people living in cities have the same reaction to entomophagy as Westerners.

The Bible does record the eating of locusts and 4 species of locust are considered kosher. It's not generally believed that they were considered delicacies, rather locusts might represent the only protein source for the poor of the time. The land isn't very conducive for the growing of cheap livestock. Not to mention that the Bible isn't a great for information about the contemporary Middle East.

I was under the impression that mono unsaturated fats were the most favorable form of fat that you can consume.

trans-monounsaturated.
2008-07-31, 2:52 PM #64
That being different than simple trans fats? Searching for trans-monounsaturated fats only revealed a lot of research papers that I will have sit down with when I have more than two hours of free time. Are there different kinds of monounsaturated fats that most people simply don't differentiate between?

No, identical.
2008-07-31, 3:13 PM #66
Wait so you are confusing the **** out of me.

trans-monounsaturated= unfavorable?

regular monounsaturated=favorable?

Thats what I thought before but now I just don't know what is right anymore. I might start cutting.

Pretty much.

I think when I wrote that post I wanted people to die, but my justification is that you should be alarmed of sources of monounsaturated fats that are in prepared foods, or designed for non-refrigerated shipments, or are not in pure forms (like checking a label for modified soy or modified olive oil). Monounsaturated fat is extremely vulnerable to rancidity which means it's not a favorable ingredient for prepared foods unless you turn it into a poison first.
2008-07-31, 3:26 PM #68
Oh I see. I should have detected the invisible Jonsarcasm.

I eat a lot of nuts and seeds, particularly almonds, and avocados. By a lot I mean a reasonable amount, not in excess. I also cook with olive oil. Barring occasional fast food indulgences and the lean meat I sometimes eat, it's my primary source of fat/energy, since I eat only the carbohydrates I feel I need, and they are usually vegetables and fruits. It's hard when you're a cheap *** like myself though.

Thanks
