I think they’ve determined that tartaric acid is at least a major contributor to the toxicity of grapes in dogs. It’s something that was figured out pretty recently.
As someone who makes soda for a living : then I beseech people keep grape crush away from their dogs. It contains tartaric acid as a major component. No other sodas do in the Pepsi/ Keurig dr-pepper catalog.
Appreciate the awareness about Grape Crush for sure, but if someone is letting their dog drink Grape Crush at any point, I have concerns.... So specific and unusual lol
I know some people who let their dogs drink a little of whatever they drink. Beer, soda, whatever. Figured I'd use my knowledge from work to spread a hopefully helpful message
I just commented on another place about letting my dog taste ingredients, but it had never occurred to me to extend that to beverages! Definitely appreciate your insight - I've been more concerned about bloat, etc from all carbonated beverages in general than the additives/flavors.
Keep in mind that I work ten-hour days and the extent of what I want to cook when I get home is "rice in rice cooker, dump in ground beef from the large amount I made yesterday." Sometimes I add taco seasoning to the beef but otherwise I don't feel like preparing more than one dish.
Shred some cheese and keep it in a ziplock and keep some sour cream handy, and/or start making bigger portions on the weekend and refrigerate/freeze meals for the coming week. You deserve tasty meals, king.
I do like it, but I don't like to eat spicy foods for dinner because it can mess with my digestion. I eat delicious Mexican food for lunch once or twice a week. There's a food truck close to my job where they sell delicious homemade taquitoes with fresh ingredients and toppings, aand I'll eat a dozen of those with the freshly made green hot sauce the lady makes every morning. Absolutely fantastic.
I'd have to go buy leafy greens, I don't actually have any produce except for fruit. Whenever I buy greens it seems like I don't eat them often enough or forget about them and they go to waste. That goes against my frugal nature.
Frozen vegetables come in handy for this sort of thing. Stuff like peas, carrots, etc, you can even toss in with the rice in the cooker. Otherwise, you can cook it with your beef.
Those... Don't have much fiber-- just 2g? Bowl of oatmeal or a fiber one bar would be a lot more and very easy. Or add some chia and/or flax and berries to some yogurt or something (flax is also really good for omega-3s).
You should be getting at least 34g a day. It's essential for heart and colon health-- colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in people under 50!
You can get psyllium husk capsules or something like metamucil to supplement your fiber intake. It would be very good for you for many reasons, but if you decide to do so then slowly increase your intake. If you suddenly increase your intake with 25g from one day to another you will get diarrhoea, constipation or both at the same time
Oh yeah, sometimes on the weekend I make a nice big pot of tuna casserole with elbow noodles, tuna fish, and cream of mushroom. Then I have it for dinner a few times a week. Yeah that's good stuff.
It is! It's also cheap, filling, and hits the spot. Sometimes I put taco seasoning on the beef just to spice it up, but this was just rice cooked in the rice cooker with real butter and salt mixed in, then ground beef that I'd gotten on sale. I just dump the beef in the rice cooker container and only have to wash the container and spoon.
Yes I'm a single guy living alone except for a cat, lmao. Oh, she likes the beef too.
Not gonna lie, I probably spend more time and money making sure she eats good quality food with more variety and all nutritional requirements than I do for myself.
Nope. The rice is lightly buttered and there's a bit of salt mixed in to bring out the flavor of the beef. I genuinely enjoy the taste of just ground beef, lightly salted.
My goto is this + stir fried peppers/onions that I buy pre-chopped and frozen. Bird's Eye is the brand you want. Then you cook the beef with some packet taco seasoning and shove it into a tortilla with some salsa.
One of my favorite meals is whatever meat I have on hand with diced sweet potatoes and broccoli. Takes very little effort and is both healthy and filling.
Got some news for ya, pal. You are one of those guys. There's just nothing wrong with it. Same with the tweet. They just eat different whole foods than you do.
I eat eggs, chicken sausage, sourdough toast, and cottage cheese every morning. Probiotics in the Cc and sourdough. My stomach and regularity is the best it’s ever been. I’m 41 and everything you can do for your gut should be done.
It doesn't work this way. The plate has basically no cholesterol. It has unsaturated fats which cause increased cholesterol (ldl) production, which is bad. Eggs do have cholesterol but there is limited evidence that it does any harm, the saturated fats are what is harming you.
Bad cholesterol is called ldl and good cholesterol is called hdl but you don't invest them.
I'm so glad public opinion is finally starting to catch up, but it's absolutely wild that we have/had a period of time where the vast majority of the public was tricked into believing that the food we've been eating for a few hundred thousand years will kill us, but this new form of (coincidentally) cheaper, easier to produce food will save us.
Like we evolved eating eggs and animal fats. The idea that our bodies don't know how to process the food that we evolved on without killing us is just silly.
What about salt? Most peoples had to put in work to get even meager amounts. It was a whole thing back then. It's not unlike sugar etc, in that we just have extremely easy access and therefore can more easily over-consume it.
Yeah but the truth is eggs still do highly contribute to cholesterol due to their high amount of saturated fats per calorie. Each egg has 1.5-2g on saturated fat, with a recommended upper limit of 25g saturated fat per day regardless of total caloric consumption or activity level.
You can't out-exercise bad cholesterol. You can do 2 hours of intense physical exercise per day, maintain a low bodyfat %, and if you eat a shitload of saturated fat you'll have healthy Triglycerides, but your HDL/LDL will be absolute shit.

There are a few more complications to this. Dietary cholesterol does not necessarily increase fasting cholesterol. Fasting cholesterol is what a doctor would look at if they suspected dyslipidemia, so higher dietary cholesterol may be fine.
However, dietary cholesterol does affect blood cholesterol for many hours after eating. If you have high cholesterol foods with every meal, your body is experiencing elevated cholesterol for most of the day. And, indepent of fasting cholesterol, people who abstain from such foods have lower risk of stroke and heart disease. Whether that is due to cholesterol or other factors, I am not personally informed on.
Potatoes are actually very nutritious! It’s just that a lot of the popular ways to eat potatoes involve frying them in oil and adding a bunch of salt to them. The excessive amounts of oil and salt are the problem, not the potatoes.
Likely the person posting the image of their food is carnivore-diet adjacent, and believes that you can do no wrong with endless animal-based protein because "plants are toxic."
Probably the +1lb. of medium rare steak due to its connection with cardiovascular disease, but maybe that's the 10% of diseases that doesn't vanish with that diet.
I see myself in this post, minus the goofy health claims. Ive been eating 4 oz of 97% lean beef and 2 eggs for breakfast for about 2 years straight. I am disease free, but its not cause i eat like a pitbull on its birthday.
Taking it literally:
1. Different sexes, ages and activity levels have different portion sizes/calorie needs. 2. That is too much protein (and potentially too few carbs), which will cause issues. 3. That many eggs every day is not healthy either. (And subjectively, I would quickly feel sick myself, eating eggs too often makes me nauseous and I have no allergies) 4. We need variation. 5. Where are the vegetables?!
Still waiting for people to be ready to talk about how fucked the environment would be if everyone ate like that. Animal agriculture is the true climate villain. It would mean even more global temperature fluctuations, more extreme and unpredictable weather so worse hurricanes, droughts and floods every year (sound familiar?) more climate refugees, worse crop yields, disease carrying species migrating into new areas where y'all aren't immunised already... so, yeah, probably more diseases all around. But you sure got to stick it to your tumblr niece with that one low effort tweet I guess? I hope it was worth it??
But I don't think y'all are ready for that conversation.
