So THAT'S why it always looked so bright and red at every restaurant I go to! I just thought my family had always been making it wrong. It's kinda funny how I grew up thinking the americanized variety was the right way of doing it.

Definitely spinach as well, I hated it as a kid until my tastebuds grew up a bit. There's an iranian dish called "ghormeh sabzi" that's basically a stew of lamb, kidney beans, dried lime, and turmeric, all in a base of boiled spinach, and I hated it throughout my life until very recently. Spinach is so damn good for you…

If nothing else, drinking adequate amounts of water will keep your body from doing any wacky water-retention nonsense that'd make the scale read strangely all of a sudden.

The amount of sodium in their bread is insane, go check it out sometime. It's mostly preservatives to keep it fresh-tasting on its way from the supplier to the franchise.

But it made me realize something, these chains are only getting people hooked on their food because of time constraints and…

Saw a cousin's beard fall out from morbidly-extensive use of aspartame, pretty sure that'll keep me off the stuff way better than some iffy study about gut bacteria issues, which are practically a red herring considering our society's far bigger problems regarding caloric intake and macronutrient ratios.

At the end of the day, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. In terms of storage, your body doesn't care where it came from. If you're in excess, the second law of thermodynamics will be in effect no matter what. Nutritionally-speaking all calories are NOT alike insofar as 400 calories of granulated sugar does not carry the…
