Trust The Science!

No, ox. I'm pointing out that using a fear tactic like "weird sounding ingredients" is dishonest. I see you have moved on from pity party to abusive and hateful. It's more honest, but I'm not sure it's any better behaviourally, or from a mental well-being standpoint.

As to you point, rather than your urge to insult, the entire sequence against FF's point is anti-science bias. FF is referring to the long list of artificial preservatives and non food ingredients that are part of processed foods. The fact that any food can be described in chemical terms is both misleading an attempt to mock a valid scientific point - i.e. anti-science bias.. In a list of ingredients, strawberry is listed as 'strawberry', because it is a natural food. Monosodium glutamate, OTOH, is not, and for good reason is listed by its chemical name. Processed foods are much less healthy than the real deal, and a good number of our modern heath problems like diabetes and obesity, not to mention certain kinds of cancer and heart disease, are a consequence of eating so much highly processed food.

Abusive and hateful is at least more honest than his pity party

He has, indeed, inspired me to be less harsh with ff and JimL, and Star has convinced me he's not so much "anti-Christian" as he is "anti-conservative", so I'm adjusting!!!

I'm still praying about how to handle H_A.

Well, when our lizard overlords force us to eat insects instead of real meat we'll all be much healthier AND thinner so this whole BMI thing will be moot.

Whew! Now I am not fat any more and when my doctor tells me to lose weight I can call him a racist! Cool beans.

No, a simple strawberry. That is just a list of "weird sounding ingredients" in a simple strawberry.

Wow. So grandma was right when she insists that you wash them before eating them -- but then that exposes you to ingesting dihydrogen monoxide

[oxmixmudd]

Thank you, once again, Saint James, for modeling how REAL Christians should treat their enemies. I'm taking copious notes and learning so much!

As disingenuous as your comment is CP, you are correct in that I did to a certain degree respond inconsistently with ideal Christian behaviour. I will endeavor to do better.

[Cow Poke]

I can't hold a candle to you on that CP.

Well, I don't pretend to be super-Christian lecturing others on how to treat their enemies, while engaging in hateful personal attacks.

You are the master of such vulgarity,

"vulgarity"? VULGARITY!?!?!?

that and the hypocrisy

Woah ---- hold it right there..... you're about to accuse me of hypocrisy while kicking others in teeth while scolding us to love and be kind.
Jim, that's the very definition of hypocrisy.
Only ONE of us has ever blown their stack so bad they've had to take a vacation, and only ONE of us has ever had to beg others not to provoke the anger - like it's OUR fault you have no self-control.
So, please, don't talk to me about hypocrisy.

of actually demeaning holding high the admonitions of our Lord while at the same time preaching sermons on Sunday.

Wow.... it looks like you're working up another steamer!!!

I don't preach a sissy Jesus, Jim. I don't preach that we need to be doormats to the world, and I CERTAINLY don't allow the social ills of this sinful world to pervert my Christianity.
I don't pretend to be a righteous saint scolding others for not being nice.... your bitterness GUSHES out, Jim --- you can't control it.

Crickets taste like chicken.

Doesn’t everything?

That ribeye darn well better not

That ribeye darn well better not

Yuh!

And I bet the new Frankenchicken doesn’t either!

[Gondwanaland]

This is so true --- and the "cheap food" at the supermarket is so often majorly carbs over protein, and it's sad to see so many obese people filling up their shopping carts with this "cheap food".

Most in the west get more protein than they need, despite all the messaging otherwise.

And carbs is a very vague umbrella term. Theres nothing wrong with carbs themselves, the issue is the overprocessing into simple carbs and lack of complex carbs (aka fruits and veggies), in the foods being sold

[rogue06]

Been invited to a Independence Day cook out and was asked how I like mine cooked so he will know when to put mine on the grill.

First steak I've had since last August!
