Yeah infant/child mortality was leaps and bounds higher than it is today

The best thing you can do for your health is trigger the libs. The more triggered the libs get, the more healthier you get.

in countries that aren't like. Haiti or something

We should have an IE trip to Port Au Prince

@Virgil - I'm guilty as charged. I eat Teddy's peanut butter, but it's not the best choice for people who want to reduce their omega 6 to omega 3 ratio to 1:1

or even 2:1

Y'alll ever had cookie butter?

That stuff is good

Also doesn't peanut butter have plant estrogens in it?

I don't eat sweets really

I am pretty sure the air has plant estrogens in it at this point

I stopped because every single person in my extended family has the betes.

Yeah, peanuts have a lot of phytoestrogens.

Now I don't crave sugar pretty much at all

Nice

I wish I could say the same

The peanut butter is like minimal protein with how much meat I have

^

Exactly!

I can't even eat something with generic Pillsbury Royal Icing on it

But I am going to get a cupcake rn and there's nothing the Nutrition Nuts can do about it

makes me sick

I am 100% sure that my omega ratios are unimportant in the big picture

That's not true, TMatthews, but we can agree to disagree!

Best cake is Angel Food Cake + Whipped cream + massive amount of berries

I had a great-aunt Minnie who lived to be 104. She died in 1963. I met her several times. She was till walking and talking. Her accent was deep, deep country. What was really eerie though is today I went to a local grocery store and there was a really lovely young girl working one of the cash registers, and she had the same accent as my old Aunt Minnie. I felt like I was seeing a ghost.

With all due respect, I don't think a single food has been mentioned in the last hour without someone saying it's bad for you

It's not just longevity that matters, but quality of life.

Eating is bad for you

There is not a single person who has eaten something and not died one day

The level in which you need to concern yourself with health foods and dieting depends on your genetics

Some gotta work harder at it than others

If I eat unhealthily, I feel it. Sometimes don't have a choice because of greasy cafeteria food, but I'll live

I'm just not that into unhealthy food

I kinda have to pay attention to what I eat because I have raging digestion issues

My old Dad smoked, drank to excess, and ate like a wild animal, and he still lived to be 88. And the last 10 years weren't all THAT bad. A lot of it is genetics. Do the best you can and accept the outcome brothers and sisters.

I have a hobby out of trying to optimize supplements and nootropics

My uncle smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and died at 45. My other uncle got colon cancer at 44.

What is a good food that is low in calories, low fat, and also filling? I work in an office and fast most days drinking coffee and eating maybe one Cliff bar, before going home for dinner. Trying to cut out sugar as much as possible.

Rice and chicken.
