What the fuck is in our food? Nanonymous No.5413 [D][U][F][S][L][A][C] >>7033

I'll start with gluten. There is many different arguments for and against gluten. The argument for a gluten free diet is that it increases energy and that it promotes weight loss. While the arguments against a gluten free diet is that it contains many helpful minerals such as zinc, calcium and more.
I looked into one of the organisations that are for a gluten free diet and the name Peter Benenson came up. Peter benenson is a jew so clearly he is a figure to be trusted. Seriously though if you are avoiding gluten don't. The main reason why the food you are eating isn't healthy for you isn't because of the gluten but because of the other shit they put into the food. If you have a gluten allergy then obviously you should avoid it. Here is the research I did. Also can someone do me a favor and archive the links. So the idea that gluten isn't healthy is not only stupid but also counter intuitive.

Fad diets are just another way people express their need for community. Since everyone is an obese fuck these days it just so happens to be the best way to unify people into a collective identity, since race has been all but obliterated from the west. The reality is that losing weight is unbelievably simple; not that anyone is really unaware of this. We're living in a time so fucked that people need to manufacture identities just to have a reason to interact with each other.

I agree. The world is in a fucked up state and that this is just a repercussion of this. Though there is shit being put into our food. Generally just avoid anything that isn't 100% of that material because the chances its going to be not healthy is pretty high. Obviously you could make things homemade if you want to make yourself a more varied diet.

Plant-based diet Nanonymous No.5439 [D][U][F] >>5456

On the topic of food, what are the (non-anecdotal) pros and cons of a plant-based diet. I have never seriously looked into it because I thought meat was hard to replace, soy was bad, and because the United Nations and other organizations push a plant-based diet on people (but this might be reverse psychology)

The all-meat, raw-meat diet is an obvious psy-op IMO because it is not sustainable, and its health-benefits are very questionable also I know that there's a push for cannibalism since there will be mass food shortages in the coming years (after 2020) ... combined with the influx of subhuman degenerates from Africa into Europe that's not going to go well, at all.

Meat + plant is the best diet. It gives you all your vital nutrients and makes you much more healthy. Moderation is key.

This. Quoting Michael Pollan: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

He also recommends not eating anything your great-grandparents wouldn't recognize as food. That means sticking to the perimeter of the grocery store, where you find the fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, and dairy, and mostly avoiding the middle aisles, which is almost all processed garbage full of preservatives, flavorings, and other shit.

Speaking of "gluten allergy" hot topic (at least here, suddenly ppl with allergy to grains started appearing). People with gluten allergy would have fucking died thousands of years ago due to agricultural diet of majority of people, leaving no progeny.
It is not the grain, never was. It is all the chemical shit they use to kill critters with. Just think of it - even bugs and bacteria die horribly from it, yet you eat it. How come. Small ratio to body size just makes you somewhat poisoned instead of writhing in agony.
Of course crop rotation, more spacing and traditional repellents would have provided same grain with no "allergy to gluten, not a dozen toxic chemicals to kill bugs, I swear", but it would increase costs, and mass industrialized is all about decreasing costs. Half a cent a pound of grain saved gives many millions in profits, and fuck the morbidly obese permanently poisoned consumer so long as he pays for the privilege.

Females and small children are better suited to plant diet. Notice how "natural" vegetarians (not brainwashed zealots, just personal preferences) are always women, and even they like milk products and eggs and some fish/poultry just fine. While men are naturally predisposed to like red meat and fatty products (you need animal fat to produce testosterone for one).
This reflects the natural diet.
For both sexes a plant-only died is a self-imposed slow death, especially so for men. Animal protein and fats are a must.

Women are gatherers, so they start the day collecting berries, nuts and roots, maybe leafy vegetables. First they feed themselves, then the children who can't gather, then save some for later. Finding birth eggs is, surprise, a gathering activity in search of protein and fats.
Men are hunters. They naturally like high protein high fat diet. They also naturally like lots of exercises in search and pursuit of quarry. Having caught and butchered their game, the now fed males would bring the leftover back and share. Women and children would eat some red meat, and men would eat some berries, nuts and roots they can't be arsed to collect on their way to the game. Men too old to hunt would demote to gathering.
So there is your natural diet. Women and children - vegetables and grains, plus some milk products and/or fish or eggs. Men - meat, milk products, eggs, fish, plus some grains and vegetables. Both eat roots in moderation.
However, men must often exert themselves, otherwise they'll bloat. If you can't exert, switch to female-old man diet for a time.

Indians have extremely sophisticated vegetarian diets due to religion, but they are heavily dependent on milk and milk products (up to 5000 milk recipes, as the saying goes), nuts, various berries and honey. You can survive and even thrive on it, but you need animal products and strict regimen anyway, if not bloody meat. Also tropical climate, because cold climates require more meat and fat in the diet to not die horribly.
The beefed-up vegetarian either consumes loads of milk protein and nuts fats, or is a fraud.

Don't eat meat since I was 11 age and now I'm fine. In last six months, almost do not eat cheese and eggs.
Wait for questions.

Just stop it, why would you share it anyway. You can calculate your BMI on your own.

BMI is shit. Very fat people pass as if they were normal, healthy persons.

Unironically this. There's even a word for it: "chipping".

>the best she can think of is gluten and Jews
How about all the other bullshit. Pesticides, unnamed colours and flavours, excess sodium and sugars and sugar replacements. Not always inherently bad but not well studied either. Food should be minimalistic. I bought some cornchips and was absolutely impressed when I could recognise every single ingredient as a real food. (Yes t. Ameriburger so what?)
Since the topic is food, you get sage.
