Cooking for those you love

Undercooked chicken, if I'm being honest. I ate it with wasabi, so it tasted mostly of that.

It's also entirely possible that mixing all three results in excess. Our bodies have satiety signals that can be dysregulated.

You are absolutely right, and your grasp of the nuance is well appreciated. Our bodies seem to function best on either, in no particular order

1. carbs and protein
2. fats and protein

Mixing all three seems to cause problems.

Yes, but since Diabetes Type 2 is chronically elevated blood sugar, cutting out carbs does seem highly logical.

I've tried it! I'm still here! But I don't think it is worth it except for the 'hold on is this raw?' value.

I will only eat raw fish and eggs in Japan. Nowhere else, I just don't trust it enough to do so. Never ever eat raw chicken...

The barefoot shoes definitely helped me figure out the strike. Am also full convert.

Planar Magnetic headphones. Can't go back.

Not as far as I'm aware.

There is the GFCI in the switch box, but yeah, both gfci+grounded would be preferable.

You'd think so, but the ground will either be at the bottom of the outlet, requiring a separate cable, or Type-B.

Yup. Japan also has grounded outlets, though, although they are comparatively rarer.

Japan also accepts bank transfer for online payments. So you don't even need to leave your house.

No thanks. It's not for me.

What are the alternatives to Visa/Mastercard?

Looks?

I still have't sat down and read the Blue Zones paper, so I really should make a note to go do that.

Thank you for elaborating.

-Chaffee is clearly biased.

So am I. I think it's lazy to not have an opinion on important topics such as my own health.

-"X food contains Y, which is a poison!!!" Yah, sure, if you eat a preposterous amount of it. For example, the average human would need to eat something like 50 ounces of almonds in one day to be poisoned. That's three pounds of almonds.

Yes, the dose makes the poison. I see that you do agree that almonds contain some poison in the form of Cyanide. Knowing that I would not give children almonds, and I won't eat them, even ignoring other things such as averages being misleading or the water usage of farming almonds. In the same way, I won't eat pufferfish although pufferfish can be raised in a way to not be poisonous. Why risk unnecessary poison?

-The second point repeated multiple times.

Not all poisons are the same. The details are relevant to the discussion.

-Crying about potatoes being a nightshade when humans have spent the last several thousand years engineering out any potential for it to poison us lol

I grew up being told over and over to cut those parts out of potatoes. It's news to me, but again, why risk it? Potatoes can be poisonous, and we don't have to eat them.

-Nutrient blockers: wash your beans and it's a non-issue jfc

If only it were that simple.

Go eat some vegetables.

No thank you. Since I don't have to, on the balance of probabilities I'd really rather not. The other points raised in the video such as lectins, the effects of gluten, protease inhibitors, photosensitizers, and nutrient bioavailability are salient as well.
