I bought an $80 juicer and disposable cups with lids on Amazon and I don't regret it at all.
Why not just eat the veggies and fruit as part of a healthy eating plan instead of tearing them up in a blender and drinking them???
Because fiber is for wimps?
As long as they don't strain the juice they'll still get the fiber.
If you're using a "juicer" then it's already straining out the fiber. If you use a food processor or blender then you'll still get the fiber even if it's completely liquefied.
I don't make smoothies (or whatever) often enough to justify owning a dedicated juicer; I just use my food processor. Works for juices, smoothies, sauces, malts, etc....1 -

That's fine, but when people are talking about juicing (especially in the context of this movie) they're referring to a specific machine that removes the fiber. It isn't just blended fruit, there is straining involved.1 -

That makes more sense. But then, I don't really see the sense in juicing to begin with. Now a chocolate ice cream malted milkshake, OTOH....3 -

There is no real sense in it (unless you just happen to really enjoy juice).0 -

Did you just bump a thread that hasn't been posted in for over 4 months in order to scold people and brag about your expensive juicer?
No, I just watched the documentary again and thought I'd see who in the MFP community had tried it. I didn't see how old the thread was nor do I see why that matters if the conversation is still relevant since people still juice? Brag about my juicer? I was comparing it to the outrageous $200-400+ juicers that are usually recommended. To my original point, ya'll get so irked for nothing. Don't like the trend than bypass it. No need to scold me for liking it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 6 -

But what if other gullible people are lurking. Do we allow them to think it works?4 -
I didn't watch it, but I enjoy reading about it on MFP.6

Exactly! The whole "sustainability" component gets lost with these sensational documentaries. Let's be realistic...unless you juice til you're in your grave, it ain't gonna work!!!!
