A vegetable wouldn't hurt you.

[-] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago

When I was on a strict diet, I actually bought 5 dollar rotisserie chicken and made a stir fry of sorts with broccoli, spinach, carrots, peas. I'd skip breakfast just to be able to have a big dinner and be satisfied going to bed. I'd try to get close to 120g of protein a day, (I'd eat half a chicken a day) and technically as much veg as I could stomach. I figure I was eating around 1500 calories a day. It worked but it was boring.

It would if it fell on your head. Checkmate atheists.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 47 minutes ago

It would also kill you if it was fired out of a cannon without breaking apart somehow

One of the episodes that had me in stitches was when he ate seafood from a dumpster then went out in his rowboat for a cruise.

Potatoes could. The leaves, sprouts, and underground stems (tubers) of potatoes contain a toxic substance called glycoalkaloid. Glycoalkaloids make a potato look green when it's exposed to light, gets damaged, or ages. Eating potatoes with a high glycoalkaloid content can cause nausea, diarrhea, confusion, headaches, and death.

Also, the sentient mutant vegetables on Atrack of the Killer Tomatoes will definitely want to do harm toward OP.

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 hours ago

From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.

Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.

How did we get to Cheney here?

now I have Attack of the Killer Tomatoes song in my head, what a fucking classic!

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

I think the sequel is even better

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I am sure you shouldn't eat raw potatoes anyway

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Tomatoes are fruit! Although I don't know if the mutant tomatoes still count as such.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

I'm a vegetarian once removed. A lot of the animals I eat were vegetarians.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

This at least reduces biomagnification.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

A chicken would eat you if it could

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Agree. If you throw anything into a chicken yard - and I mean anything - they will try to eat it.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 8 points 8 hours ago

Hogs eat anything you put in their trough and I mean anything.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

This is an argument that it’s morally fair to be chickenarian

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

And everyone you love.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Hey I didn't say all of them, and the chicken that defeats me in single combat is welcome to feed upon my corpse.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago
[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I ain't fuckin' with THAT chicken, I've seen him do some shit.

Wheat is a plant. If wheat was a vegetable we wouldn't need the distinction between plant and vegetable.

[-] stray@pawb.social 5 points 5 hours ago

Wheat grain is strictly a vegetable, being an edible plant part. But people usually use the word to refer to a socially-constructed category which is completely feels-based. Membership tends to be determined by flavor profile, nutrition content, and whether the given part falls into another popular sub-category (such as fruit or nuts). This is why fruits like the tomato and pumpkin are usually sorted as vegetables separately from fruits with generally sweeter flavors like the banana or orange.

Vegetables like grains, legumes, and certain tubers will often be grouped together as "carbs" due to their high carbohydrate content which distinguishes them from low-calorie, high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Probably hard to from their hospital bed, but I don't see what this feast fit for a squire has to do with that.

[-] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Oh yeah? Do you think a bit of fiber finally moving all that trapped poop is harmless? We don't all have guts of steel like SOMEBODY.

[-] tino_408@lemmy.world -1 points 6 hours ago

Most vegetables are poisonous just saying

[-] axx@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 hours ago

That's really stretching the definition of "vegetables".
