...and it made me laugh. I've thought about what Hornsby wrote though and I have felt the same way, as if you can eat maintenance and still imbibe, but I'm fairly certain the out side of the energy balance equation is increased without noticing.

I don't go to the gym. What I mean is, for me, I get more energy and tend to make more trips up and down the stairs, out to the shed, whatever. It also negates the pain I feel all day from arthritis and makes me more mobile. I don't get black out drunk (any more) ;) I'll leave that for the teens and twenty somethings.

A yup. Also I find (it may not be true for others) that a few barley sandwiches takes the edge off of my hunger.

I track it, and make room for it. I always seem to lose after a pail-out on the weekend though I've noticed. Probably because I leave too much room and under eat. It's also possible that one gets more exercise than noticed...

You buy your food? Crazy. I only consume things that have never been exchanged for money. :)

Don't get me wrong, I make all my own soups and stocks so that I can control the ingredients. Some vegetables (like tomatoes) will change the availablity of some nutrients but that will happen whether they are cooked in my pot or in the can at the factory. That's also why I eat raw tomatoes and cooked tomatoes. I grow my…

You've snipped that from Weston A Price without attribution. Naughty, and an opinion piece. They discovered how to make flavours. How does this support your claim that it "strips the nutrition out"?

Nope. You made a claim. I'm interested whether you could back it up. Apparently you can't so I'll just assume you can't and ignore it.

Please elaborate.

So, you're not a library, but I'm pretty sure you're well stocked up on baseless assertions if we need any though eh?

Is road kill ok or do you have to hunt them down and kill them with a rock or stick?

No. The OP clearly stated he was using the non-asterisk values which MFP imports from the USDA database.

Thanks but they don't ship outside the US:

Also, we have the FDA in Canada now? I think someone's tinfoil hat is on too tight...

Excellent post.

OMG! Wake up sheeple!

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus The armies ran on bread (wheat) not gruel (oats). The emperors lived and died on the grain trade.

Heh :)

No, but I lived in Montreal in the 70s :smiley:

OP, you're from Hamilton. Most margarine in Ontario is 0 trans fat and 0 hydrogenated oils. Eat butter if you like it but there is nothing wrong with most margarines here. Go Habs. Leafs suck.

No, I'm saying the alarmists who demonize foods, and are scared of "chemicals" and say "I don't eat anything I can't pronounce" seem to have very little scientific education.

Didn't you read? "Super Foods!" and Lipitor replacing cholesterol reducers apparently. ;) Also, newbie post digs up 4 year old thread... :#

Because enough science isn't taught in school any more. People are more scientifically illiterate. It shows big time on MFP.

Whatever the chemical's name is? Chemicals are really described by their properties like boiling and melting points, pH, whether they are ionic salts or organic molecules, as well as how they react with other chemicals.

Oh come on. It has an LD50 higher than table salt. 4220mg/kg. That's a lot of sodium bicarb...

Newton was a product of his age. I prefer governmental leaders to be non-delusional.

Why? It's not even a coherent sentence...

That will work for a couple of months because you're motivated. Then you might want to switch to eating closer to the calorie amount for what your target weight will be, probably ~2000-2400

Harper appointed a creationist and chiropractor as minister of science in Canada. :'(
