i don't want to convince you of anything. I doubt i could
i proved you that simple LETTUCE kicks a bison's nutritional ass, and for this TRUTH you should be forever grateful
When your done trolling, could you explain how iceberg lettuce, which is largely indigestible, can actually provide all those goodies to the body?
And how much is 100 calories of iceberg lettuce, thats , like, a wheelbarrowfull or something?
:eek:
Went to the market today to buy some wild salmon....$26.00 per lb! I hear wild salmon is better for you than farm raised but its twice as much. Seems pretty ridiculous.
About 1 large head = 100 cals
It's not largely indigestible. It does contain fiber which is a good thing. Meat has no fiber.
I'm not suggesting eating just lettuce, a variety of plants is best. Without all that artery clogging fat. Lettuce is an example of a common plant that calorie for calorie easily beats meat for most nutrients.
Look at SPINACH :eek:
Eggs are fantastic for you. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
The most important consideration in the degree of healthfulness of eggs is what was fed to the hen that produced them.
We all know that medical and nutritional science is revised constantly, and whole paradigm shifts occur all the time regarding what is and isn't good for people (cardiologists used to say eggs were bad, and this is fundamentally untrue; corn has been a staple for generations - but it isn't necessarily great for human health; milk was practically endorsed as necessary for a long time, and while it is good for you in certain respects, it certainly isn't necessary, and there are some negative aspects to its consumption).
As far as meat is concerned, one of the most intelligent scientists I've ever known of, and who taught a biology course in college that I was fortunate enough to have taken, very succinctly informed me that humans are omniverous, that our GI tracts actually efficiently process and extract nutrients from meat quite well, and that some red meat is quite healthy, as it contains nutrients one will have extreme difficulty obtaining from other non-meat sources (no matter how healthful).
If you compare intestinal tracts of herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, certain characteristics become abundantly clear with each type.
We are definitely omniverous by design.
Having said that, there are more healthy and less healthy types of meat, and there are more healthy and less healthy methods by which to prepare it.
Roasting lean pork tenderloin, poaching salmon or grilling beef sirloin (with a light rub, for example), is much healthier than frying bacon in a pan.
As someone already said, when all else fails, everything in moderation. That's a really great point.
Also, the most nutritious food in the world tend to be dark green, and grown or 'spawn' in the ocean. This includes seafood (the less fatty, the better, because mercury, dioxins and other pollutants accumulate in fat tissue in higher concentrations) seaweed, kale and, especially, spirulina.
p.s. - armoured saint, iceberg lettuce has nearly no nutritional value. Romaine and Boston Bib are but two examples of lettuce that are exponentionally nutritious than iceberg.

I'm pretty convinced that heart disease is related to the hyaluronic acid in the diets. If an artery feeding the heart is moist and flexible it won't crack, it won't get patched with cholesterol and calcium, the patch won't break off and block the blood flow to the heart....... Probably those abovementioned cultures cook the heads of animals they slaughter, there is hyaluronic acid in the eyes and other good stuff in the brains, if a little HA is in your diet it stimulates your body to make more and it keeps your whole body's tissues soft and pliant. They probably have lots of dietary vitamin C, it helps in the soft and pliant area too...... I take the hyaluronic acid in supplements, you can tell when it's working because your driest skin areas [elbow patches] become moist, takes about 5 weeks... we stopped cooking the heads on [range fed] slaughtered animals probably about the same time as heart disease started upwards... no? I don't know, but all the "brilliant analysts" of our time blame hamburgers, maybe we started up with the hamburgers about the same time we stopped making soup out of cow heads.........
do you think i just made up those mineral values? look it up einstein! ICEBERG!
ps yes, iceberg may be less nutritionally dense than many other plant choices, that's why i chose it. it still handily beats meat including grass fed or wild game for most nutrients!
how the hell would YOU know who is knowledgeable? you are completely nutritionally illiterate!Quote from The Swordsman:

coconut oil is worse than LARD for artery clogging fat!
