I know it's a crock, but I see that stupid ad on the site constantly. So what are they? LOL

I have no idea...the only thing I know for certain is that whole foods are better than processed foods. I do eat the occasional processed food but I try to pick good ones. Basically, for me it's trying to remind myself to buy in the fresh food sections of the grocery store.

I did click on that link once out of curiosity. It takes you to the Beyond Diet website, and a 20 minute video schpeel where you never do really find out anything until you pay them money and sign up. That's 1/2 hour out of my life I'll never get back. My guess is it would be foods high in sugar.

1. Strontium 90
2. Live bees (one occasionally won't do much harm, unless you're allergic, but snacking on them like popcorn is NOT recommended--trust me on this!)
3. human flesh
4. your grandmother's heirloom pearls, no matter how good they feel sliding down your throat
5. Brussels sprouts. They're nasty.

That's why I don't click on the link. I figured it was some kind of scam. Sorry you had to go through it!

Not too sure about the other 4, but don't eat the neighbors! The food police frown on that.

1. Food you're allergic to
2. Non food items (i.e. chalk, legos, plastic, etc.)
3. Food that's expired
4. Food that has fallen on the floor
5. My food because I'll eat your hand off if you try to take my food away

1) your own words
2) your cats antibiotics
3) deep fried mars bars
4) the other passengers of the plane crash
5) cheese that can be sprayed from a can.

There are probably others but this should get you started.:happy:

The others are almost certainly true. No 5 must be marmite, surely?

He is ADORABLE.
I want to love him, and hug him, and call him George.
Failing that, baked with a little olive oil and some bacon also works.

love love love Brussels sprouts! I've never had them with bacon though, that sounds yummy!

MsPudding

love love love Brussels sprouts! I've never had them with bacon though, that sounds yummy!

Oh believe me, par-boiled sprouts drained and then fried up with some pancetta, diced onion and for Winter comfort, a few chestnuts....they're gorgeous.

They also wok up well if boiled until al dente, then done with some leeks and a little light soy sauce or with a dribble of balsamic vinegar.

People are put off sprouts generally because their first taste of them is often ones that have been boiled until they're a slushy mess...then they're gross.

That sounds amazing, BOTH ways! And I hear you about the slushy mess, I think that's how my fiance got turned off of them, had them once by someone who just didn't know how to cook them properly. No matter what I try he just refuses to eat them. I once tried to be sneaky (because he loves cabbage rolls) I did a reverse version of them and hid the Brussels sprouts inside the meatballs. I was happy, him, not so much. :laugh:
