If I Gave You Poison Would You Eat It?

At this point, the only usefulness in citing facts is so someone can come in a derail the experimental design. I feel like this is a losing argument on both ends.
Oh oh! This is my favourite bit.......0 -
Yea, i forgot salt, too.I'm gutted that chocolate isn't on your list. You would have to eat a lot in one go for it to kill you, but it really is poisonous. And it's not because of the sugar, fat, processing of whatever. Try feeding chocolate to a beloved pet. I genuinely believe it's more dangerous than anything you listed.
At the end of the day it's not really going to harm you though. I eat it daily.0 -
Locally grown plants, like fruits and veggies.I don't really have an opinion on this as I do not know that much about it, but I would prefer to read about what the OP considers to be good to eat rather than read about what he considers as poison. Just my two cents.0 -
That's the way things are trending. I mean, if you listened to every extremist on food and put it all into practice and didn't eat anything that someone somewhere said was terrible for you and going to kill you, I think you'd be left with broccoli.I think I just won't eat anything. Seems the safest route.
So you can eat broccoli.0 -
Fine, fine..I'll give up dairy and meat because they're poison. Can I keep smoking though??0

farmer's feeding cows candy
that's kind of a sweet thing to do. get it?
I'd like to see a reputable news story about this because it doesn't make sense. ANy living creature would DIE on a diet of only candy. It would cause malnourishment and would be counterproductive to the farmer. He may save money on feed (though candy is pretty pricey where I live), but he'd lose all his livestock.0 -
But, eating a healthy diet with little to no crap in it, allows you to enjoy it more, because you have more energy, more happiness, and hopefully more years.I get your point OP... but... everybody dies... May as well enjoy it.
Is the short term pleasure of tasting something delicious worth the pain it causes later on? Can't you derive the same, or similar, taste pleasure from a well prepared, fresh, healthy food?
I come from an Italian family. For generations, we have consumed mass quantites of oil and white pasta. My grandmother celebrated her 97th birthday yesterday and was living on her own until last year.
Her mother and older sister both lived to 97, as well. So, my conclusion is that poison = good if oils and refined grains are poison.0 -

dude- did you forget where you are?
making sense here happens only on the third Thursday of every third month and even then most people miss it0 -

If you cut out salt (sodium) you would die very quickly.0 -

I know. I know.
Believe whatever you hear without putting any actual thought into it. It's the rule of the message board.
*sigh*
Thirty lashes for me.0 -

High Tar only, anything else is just a marketing scam based on bad science.
The Smoking Pyramid is a crock as is MyAshtray.0 -
Oh yes, you can also die from drinking too much water... so stop it!0

A little bit of poison can really improve a party!0 -

I have noticed that many people have their heads buried in the sand and that is nothing new. If everybody agreed with me, the two leading causes of death in this country wouldn't be heart disease and cancer. I think the rampant nutritional ignorance in this country, and on this site, is sad.don't you wonder why no one agrees with you?
I wonder what the two leading causes of death would be, if only everyone would make the OP their food guru!0 -

One would probably be me murdering everybody because I missed cheese so much.0 -
Would the OP make more sense i I were wearing a tin oil hat?0

What if it was a really slow acting poison, and you wouldn't get sick until you were older?
What if i gave it to you in a very small dose?
What if i made it taste really, REALLY good?
Would it be OK as long as it was in moderation?
What if i convinced you it was "manly" to eat the poison?
What if i paid celebrities to tell you that they enjoyed the good taste of the slow-acting poison?
What if i paid celebrities to tell you that the poison was not poison at all, but was in fact actually health food?
What if you had been unknowingly eating this poison your whole life, and didn't even know what it felt like to be free from it?
If you answer "NO" to any of the above questions:
Would you eat processed food, preservatives, flavor enhancers, meats, dairy, refined grains, oils, aspartame, sugar, pesticides or HFCS in any of the above circumstances?
Why or why not?
(Disclaimer: This is hypothetical, i have no plans to poison anyone!)
EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!!!!0 -
Any thing but...

i like to eat sugary pesticides0

Meats and dairy? Really - you are going to say meats and dairy are poison? Ridiculous.0

Many veggies contain nitrates, nitrates have been linked to cancer. Oopsie you've been poisoning yourself0 -
Do you know how you can tell if someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll f***in' tell you!0

Have fun eating your grass. I'll be enjoying my steak, rice, and milk.0

Is cherry flavored poison? i like cherry flavored.Is it fatal or does it just cause me to fall asleep for a bit. I like sleep. Or maybe it will make me glow green. I will eat you green glowing, cherry flavored, makes me fall asleep poison; If it was just a little bit of poison my awesome liver would take care of it.0

You just went full retard.

if so, what's left to eat?
No meat, no veggies (pesticides and OMG right), no grain (carbs! Yikes!), nothing processed or bleached -- are you making your own flour from the wheat you grow in your field? -- What, wheat has gluten and that's poison!!! -- and on, and on...
