Favorite Indoor Cycling Trainer...?
With this bitter cold snowy weather, i am missing my bicycle. I was thinking of either buying a spin bike, or an indoor cycle trainer. I've been seeing some ads for the real high end indoor bikes, with TV screen attached, and they seem really awesome, but they are also very expensive. Anyone find it worth the price? For…

Hilarious Brazilian Prank Video
I saw this video on a facebook page. I think it's really funny, but it also brings up some good points, that would be lost on most people.

Addictive Foods
Addiction is, in my opinion, engineered into foods. There are also foods with naturally occurring addictive compounds. This is 2014; think of the technology we have these days.

How Do You Define "Junk Food"?
On another thread, i called a meal with 64% of it's calories coming from refined fat: "junk food". The meal being named was a salad doused in oil. Some people are trying to claim that is not junk food, despite the high ratio of nutritionless fiberless refined fat, to actual food. Do you think drowning a 90 calorie salad in…

The Morality of Eating Meat/Dairy
I have seen many threads around here about regarding whether or not it is healthy for humans to eat meat and dairy. Here's a question: Is it ethical?
