Shit was great. It'll be even better when the ambient temp dropps
below 90F. Total cost was about $3.35 for about ~96 ounces of
finished product. It's a lot of work coming from 10lb bags ($3.90)
of chicken hind quarters, but well worth it if you have time and
patience.

With the money I saved I bought a 1.75L bottle of "Heaven Hill
Quality House" vodka for $13 (A Stoli product). Rates a 4.4 on
bumwine.com compared to 3.9 for Crystal Palace! I haven't drank
vodka for 3 years. And it wiull be another 6 years as soon as this
is gone.

Pbbbt.

Your personal dietary concerns of are no importance to anybody but
yourself. Rice is the staple food of more than half of the world's
population. 4 billion people depend on rice for more than 20% of
their daily calories. So I mix it up with bread and other carbs not
so readily available to those who depend on rice.

Stop being such a Bruce.

Oh...<yawn>

I too have chicken and rice, but my fridge went bogey barts and froze the
leftovers solid. Not everything in there is frozen, but I lost most of the
fresh produce.

I'm eating a small portion of mine along with a Greek salad.

Hence the diabetes and obesity plague in the modern era amongst those
affluent enough to avoid physical work. That includes wheat and corn
in the west, of course.

For the sake of simplicity (as it's a complex/nuanced topic), I'll
keep it brief: 'carbs' are not essential, nutritionally speaking. In
moderation, they are fine but many people eat wayyyy too many (such as
yourself).

Humans and mammals evolved to crave carbs. Prior to agriculture, they
were a scarce resource. Now, they're ubiquitous and plentiful. Our
bodies were never designed to consume the amount the average person
does nowadays.

>Stop being such a Bruce.

OK, fatso. You've merely substituted one addiction (drugs) for another
(carbs).

Frozen leftovers can be reheated.

Frozen fresh produce can still be used in a dish of
some kind. Soup or casserole, etc

Don't toss it out. At least feed it to the rats. They
need to eat too.

Yet, 10 years ago I managed to go from "almost diabetic", to
"pre-diabetic", to "almost pre-diabetic", and now for 8 years
straight, "Not on the radar". I even did that when I was going
through a sugar binge.

I have no problem with carbs. I've evolved quicker than most,
apparently. I'm helping to create the next Super Race of
diabetes-free humans trough sperm and plasma donations.
Bwhahahahahahahah!

So you do You, and I'll do Me - free from the worry of carbs.

We're closer to understanding the origins of the Universe, Earth and
human beings than we are at understanding the way the human body
really works. Medical theories change often and are highly
contested. While most non-fringe physics theories stand the test of
time and we've even seen several recent theories solidify as fact in
our recent history, medical theories are a crapshoot and come and go
quicker than trihydrogen. An unlike physics, humans evolve (and
devlove <sigh>) and adapt over time.

ObFood: I think I'll have eggs and home fries (from leftover baked
potatoes) for brunch. I don't usually eat before 12:PM during
pandemic daze. So give me a couple hours.

Yes but I had to reheat the whole thing just to get one serving out. Thing
is, when I put it in the fridge, I was talking on the phone to a friend. So
I just put the whole pot in there. He's big on cooking and tried to talk me
out of doing that. But it was a good thing I did! All I had to do was add
water and put it on the stove.

Not lettuce or celery. I know some people like wilted lettuce. I don't.

Not here they don't.

That's good, but you don't mention anything about obesity and related
issues.

OK, but I'm a tad sceptical about anyone's overall health on such a
diet.

Indeed they are. Mainstream medicine is incredibly conservative and
resistant to new ideas, even those ideas proven to be correct.

There is a lot of exciting new knowledge in recent years, especially
in terms of our genes, and how to turn on beneficial genes than
usually remain dormant in modern first world lifestyles. It's possible
to change your metabolism though diet and fasting, for example.I've
done it myself.

Or increase your longevity/avoiding harmful mutations by lengthening
your telomeres (protective caps on your genes) simply through diet and
fasting.

Yeah, humans evolve, but it does take time. A lot of time. Whereas
technology in relation to food production and marketing is
comparatively moves at the speed of light.

ObFood: Breakfast was chicken liver and eggs, with garlic, Thai
chillis, nettles, parsley, celery and spinach.

I don't know where you get this thing about how I'm obese, which you
base all your scholarly interpretations about me. I weigh more than
I should but I'm very active and I certainly carry my weight. I'm
not dormant sludge. You can't judge me on what I post.

I'm actually onboard that carbs, especially sugars, are generally
bad. There's been a booming industry of turning starches into sugars
and they meld into foreign concoctions that doesn't agree with us.

It's been shown that humans can evolve in much less time than
previously considered. My drippy dick may take 2,000 years to
travel down the Nile, but like John, I'm doing my part by living a
life which I feel comfortable and without worry - albeit mostly
broke.

Can I borrow some cholesterol to bind with all those nitrates from
the parsley, spinach, and celery? Jebus Christ! You're going to
mutate if you eat all those nitrites!

We're both intelligent and capable and I don't care and neither
should you <shrug>.
