Best Foods to Eat (Health-wise)

you are only one talking about eating only lettuce or beast. whoever said this was best or even healthy?
i said eat a variety of whole plants.
your great at constructing strawmen to knock down..
guess it's cocaine doing your talking heh
You made a direct comparison earlier in this thread saying iceberg lettuce had more nutrition than Bison. The definition if nutrition is:
"The process of nourishing or being nourished, especially the process by which a living organism assimilates food and uses it for growth and for replacement of tissues."
If we eat, at our very core for survival and hence to stay alive, Bison beats lettuce hands down. Who cares about healthy, you said its based on nutrition (see definition above). Your precious lettuce has almost no fat, no calories (both CRITICAL for survival) and hardly any vitamins and minerals unless you eat a fucking shitload of it which wont even fit in your stomach anyways.
Basically, your smugness and arrogance on this whole issue is the core of the problem. You thought you were all clever when you picked iceberg lettuce to compare to meat but you obviously arent smart enough to see how such a comparison left lettuce looking pretty paltry.

I do!
so does the OP the title of this thread is .. Best Foods to Eat (Health-wise)
no one eats just one food. no one advocates such. you construct a meaningless strawman argument..
who cares
Well, YOU were the bonehead that wanted to compare two foods head to head in the first place. No one else thought to do this but YOU.
Dont be upset now that you are painted into a corner on this one, it was your idea in the first place.

calorie for calorie plants provide more nutrients. meat is calorie dense.. and relatively devoid of nutrition.. save for a few.
only so many calories you can consume before it's too much of any type. PLANTS are nutrient dense per calorie...
so which should you emphasize?
oops i shouldn't ask you ..
"SNOOOOORT"
haha
yeah, right, GREAT example of a nutrient dense plant in iceberg lettuce. Yeah so damn dense, need 50+ cups just to get 50% of the DV of several nutrients LOL.
Next time chose a better plant for comparison, if your smugness will allow you to do that

That seems pretty good from a calorie standpoint. It's also not bad in terms of soluble fiber. I am fairly confident that any bread made with anything other than refined, white flour is going to be superior.
I digress a little bit, but I don't eat white potatoes anymore. I only eat sweet potatoes, because they are loaded with beta carotene, they have a lot more fiber, and the skin, especially, is loaded with trace minerals.
I think I read that consumption of one white potato causes more of an insulin spike (to deal with blood glucose levels) than consumption of an entire can of coke.
