You will know who is on which side of the debate when you see what concession stand everyone lines up in front of... cotton candy vs corn dogs!
Or better yet - deep fried butter!
I'm looking for donuts for Lemurcat, so far all I can find is funnel cakes and fried oreos.
Let me know if you find any cauliflower donuts.
Found some kale ones.
Something about green donuts (unless it's green icing for St. Paddy's day) is just wrong.
This is one of the sickest *babysloth* things I've seen on these forums and I was around the night the porn thread was up for several hours. :sick: Proud to know you, my friend! :laugh:
What was the title of that thread?? Lemme guess: How "sugar" burns calories
:laugh:
Edited: It was bad, really, really, bad.
The kale donuts pull in at a close second... :bigsmile:
That's ok, I really don't want to know!
I'll send a PM if you are really curious

It was traumatizing. Bad enough that I had it buried. But those kale donuts

Why add kale to donuts? The idea of treats is that they are treats. By all means have kale, but just have it where appropriate. I add kale to juices or in an omelette. What's this obsession with adding "health" foods to treat foods? They don't have to be eaten together. Kale donuts my God.1

I hope I didn't traumatize too many people.
Here, pass this around:

Is that low carb and gluten free?1

But it's raw cane sugar, coconut sugar, and brown rice syrup. So now somehow it's totally healthy. It also comes with extra self-righteousness.7 -
Remember the days when kale was the green crap decoratively lining salad bars because it was cheap and no one wanted to eat it? I miss those days.3

And that extra self-righteousness is multiplied by how many grams of kale are in the cookie! So THAT'S why kale is now in baked goods! We solved the mystery!!2 -

You probably have to have ironic facial hair to be permitted to buy it.1 -
Could someone please post some new yummy pictures in the Oreos thread to make up for the kale fueled abominations I'm seeing in this thread? Thank you!1

The kale is for color
So that's the real reason? *mind blown*
I think the green color makes them less appetizing, but I'm probably not part of the market they're going for.

Not what you asked for, but discussions of green sweets always make me think of this photo:

I'm sure it has lots of fibre, even though it likely tastes like *babytoads*. 3 -

I may print the photo of the kale donut and put it on my fridge. That may be the most power appetite suppressant I've ever found.4

I read, and enjoyed, Lustig's book. It's worth it just for the in depth description of how the human metabolism works. He does not say we need to cut out all sugar. He only says we need to educate ourselves on how much sugar we are taking in and lower it to a reasonable level. He found that doing this helped his many patients, sick children either with endocrine problems due to cancer or chronic obesity, etc. Many of these children were lower income and their parents were not educated on nutrition and bought what was covered by food stamps (that's another "conspiracy" in itself). Too much sugar messes with your hunger/full hormones and is a contributor to chronic obesity.
I wonder how many people who call Lustig some kind of maniac actually bothered to read his extremely well researched and interesting book...which again does not say you can't ever eat sugar for the rest of your life.7 -
You read the book but did you read the thread?6

Lustig, the man who can't decide if he thinks if Fructose is toxic for you?

Lustig, the man who apparently once said that sugar is somehow fat and carbs in one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7QXFJNKWXs
Are we talking about the same Robert Lustig here?7
