The Off Topic Topic

[Malthus]

I love how my eating habits has become a cause celebre.

Al: I expressed shock that people thought every day was not so much normal as desirable, and that blowing up public toilets was equivalent to enjoying the solitude of one's own facilities.  I must shit in secret.

Larch: if candy isn't real food, why is it one of the better buys from a calorie/dollar standpoint?  Further, I do eat things other than candy.  Spaghetti, pizza, rice, potato chips, corn chips, other shaped corn products, cashews, fried vegetables of various stripes, chewable vitamins, toast, hummus, shrimp, scallops, pepperoncinis out of the storage bin, and apparently some kind of potato dish that involves pepper and some sort of unidentified marinade.  As you can see, it's a highly varied diet.

You are to eating what Mono is to working and health-related issues.

Ironically, I actually suspect I probably have the healthiest diet on the board.  I mean, beef's not exactly good for you in contemporary quantities.

What I think a lot of people misunderstand is that while I do eat a lot of "junk," I don't eat it in the classic fat fuck pattern.  Most people who eat snack foods eat them as snacks, i.e. between and in addition to meals.  I eat them as meals.  I had this argument with my sister over the holidays.  She had a dinner consisting of leftovers from my stepfamily's get-together, comprising roast beef, mashed potatoes, and various sundry items.  I had nine peanut butter cookies.  If there is a difference, I probably ate fewer calories, and fewer calories from fat.

Also, limiting my intake to one item is surely more efficient.  The stomach gremlins that actually process food can specialize and develop a competitive advantage.

I suspect that peanut butter cookies aren't exactly filled with vitamins and such.

And there has been a steep decline in the number of Cal-eats-at-a-gas-station jokes... I think you're the new Caliga!

You don't have to be a fat fuck to develop diabetes by the time you're 35. Enjoy your insulin!

He's the anti-Cal though, likes flat chests.

Neither are mashed potatoes or beef afaik (except that beef does have iron; peanut butter has some iron, albeit probably not as much).

While food in Vienna is great, there's precious little choice of Greek food. In Germany, every little shitty town has a Chinese, a Greek, an Italian and a Yugoslav Balkans restaurant. Greeks here are either intolerable or overpriced. Their food, too.

[Capetan Mihali]

They recorded one of the routes I drive and aired it on national tv. http://www.dr.dk/nu/player/#/paa-skinner/26641

This is TV I don't understand.

No comments section.    "Køge--Hillerød is teh best line on DSB all u other lines are faggots lol"

You must have good Turkish and Balkan food though.

More than you can wave a wet döner kebab at. We also have a number of Indian places, some Thai stuff. Gazillions of Asian restaurants. One or two Mexicans. And the occasional Austrian restaurant (though it's mostly a "Best of Austria-Hungary" style). No real burger places, though. Some places have decent burgers, and in a pinch there's TGI Friday's. Similar with steakhouses; even the chains only have a handful of locations.

That's a retarded way of looking at one's diet.

I went to a Mexican joint in Amsterdam and saw a couple sipping straight tequila.  Do folks in your neck of the woods understand you're supposed to schlamn it down?

I have to believe Ide, like Mono, hams it up on this matter.  The alternative is too depressing.

And yet, I am relatively healthy.  As long as I keep to discipline and maintain essential nutrient supplements--which I would have to do whether I ate candy or ate rice--I should be fine.  Or as fine as you expect a human aging to be.

Like Money said:

It's always five years out, isn't it?  Been hearing a variation on that tune since I was 15.

P.S.: They're diet sodas, El Larcho.

Oh, probably a little.  But I think you guys make too much of it.  Like, 40 Reese's miniatures every four or five days isn't that egregious.
