I had a nagging feeling you'd mentioned it somewhere and there it was in your comment just in this very post. Sorry, and thank you for patiently repeating it to me again.
Absolutely. I'd switch to other payment methods that aren't those, if you can.
How do you dry your meat?
The trick must surely lie in the preparation. We aren't Neanderthals and cook our food, and I'm sure we can find a way to make maggots or other insect larvae appetizing. As you mentioned, they are highly nutritious.
It is appalling that sugar and alcohol are even on the "standard" pyramid. What's more, exercise and weight control aren't even foods. Why are they on there?
What drives me to post is the possibility that I might be able to get someone else to just stop eating ultraprocessed food. If all I have to deal with is downvotes, it's worth it.
I think we've all had similar experiences, starting with the skepticism and the incredulity stemming from learning that what we know about nutrition was based on entirely unscientific fundamentals. That really is the core of this community, for me.
Assuming 7 grams of protein per ounce of beef, you'd need roughly 1.21 kgs of beef for a 75kg Neanderthal.
4g per kg of body weight is still a tremendous amount of meat.
Good job, EU. I hope the rest of the world takes note.
Harmless by themselves, perhaps, but if they make some ultraprocessed foods more appealing are they entirely harmless? I think it's fine to make beet juice in the kitchen for our own uses.
Why not disallow all food dye, not just the bright ones?
Slightly angry opinion: if anyone deserves to have their title revoked post-mortem, I'd nominate Ancel Keys. The propagation of his ideology, backed with no evidence nor science, has had, edit: and continues to produce staggering negative consequences for public health around the globe.
This portion of history should be required reading in the first year of every university.
