skill issue
That’s some ShoeNice type shit lol
I can't consume a large number of liberalism particles, they cause headaches
Also, I can't take any cyp3a4 inhibitors like grapefruit cause of my meds.
I don't eat fruit.
Any reason? I assume it’s probably pretty good for you, to each their own tho, I love fruit
I recall hearing that a lot of modern fruit, at least in the West, is significantly less nutritious than it used to be; if that's true, it's mostly sugar and a bit of fiber (but still better than fruit juice)
That’s definitely true, except bananas. Sorta. They actually tasted better and sweeter, they now taste more bland. Regardless I think it’s part of a nutritious balanced diet and I would recommend Dragonfruit, really good, Kiwis too
I have little problems drinking fruit juice and i will sometimes eat it cooked but eating it raw gives me stomach problems. Obviously if you can you should eat fruit, it's very healthy because they generally have more vitamins than other foods.
You might be really deficient in fiber, which fruit have a lot of and fruit juice has none of. Getting a good fiber intake after a prolonged period of time of being deficient will be problematic and causes a lot of people to stop before they can overcome that.
I highly doubt that. I eat plenty of grains and vegetables which are higher in fiber than most fruit. My guesses are it's either to do with the fructose content or the high acidity. Cause concentrated fruit juices don't always sit that well with me either, i usually water them down by at least 50%.
Also very important to wash your fruit before consuming it, but if that still messes with your stomach then it isn’t worth it I suppose, too bad, fruit is great
I have been vegetarian for like seven years or so? Too lazy to go vegan, but the vegans are right.
Same situation, down to the years! 🥦
Well, rest easy knowing you’re healthier and more principled than most, me included
haha thanks but unfortunately my diet is not that healthy
I really hate fried onion.
I'm vegan btw.
One year anniversary is coming up in 2 months.
Happy early anniversary on that, much respect 🫡
Thanks!
allergic to almonds
Is it only almonds, because I’m partial to cashews myself
just almonds, its very strange
I’m allergic to a very popular fruit, and my allergy is fairly uncommon.
I also hate cilantro because I have that gene that makes it taste like soap.
I’ve only heard about it, never spoke to anyone who had it, do you taste it if it’s in tacos or something spicy? Dumb question probably but I’m embarrassingly curious about the answer
If there’s enough of it, I can taste it. It’s still unpleasant but I’ve gotten used to it.
Cilantro-soap gene haver here. For me, if you put just a bit on any dish, it is ruined.
I'm vegan and have been for well more than a year now. I don't see myself backtracking on it. I went vegan obviously for animal rights reasons but there were also other concerns which led to me making the step, such as environmentalism (the animal farming industries being one of the biggest causes of climate change, land usage etc) and even humanitarianism (these industries frequently exploit immigrants and have been caught using child labour, they also have one of the highest PTSD rates of any industry).
Vegetarian. Would go vegan, but it takes a more principled person than myself, at least for now.
I would need to get some Bucket List Meals in me before I could go vegetarian, I would have too much regret otherwise
I don't have any dietary restrictions afaik
No, neither health nor preference related. I will eat virtually anything, and have found very very few things I don't like.
The only thing I won't eat is something endangered, for conservation reasons.
Yea I never really felt comfortable eating Veal
I'd say about 95% of what I eat is vegan. I started doing it for environmental reasons but after a while it was about animal welfare as well. I used to be a guy who'd say he'd never give up meat but it was so much easier than I thought.
The other 5% is vegetarian btw, no meat/fish/whatever
I have an allergy to shrimp, and I am probably also allergic to other crustaceans so I avoid eating those as well.
I tried being vegan, but it is hard when nobody in family is a vegan too, so I stopped, sadly. I also tried, for quite a long, fasting -- I ate nothing one day per week, and this helped me to loose more than 15 kg. Now, I have too much duties but I want to come back to it.
There's the obvious self imposed diet, but I'm also allergic to a few things, like cashews.
Vegan because of high cholesterol that is hereditary in my family. It was hard to get used to at first but I've adjusted and also lost a lot of weight in the process.
Basically anything that super processed or refined like sugars, carbs, and especially cooking oils. I feel so much better after cutting that stuff out. I already do low carb due to family history of diabetes but after I read up on how messed up the cooking oil industry is, and how these cooking oils are so extremely refined, I cut those out too. Made a world of difference. I primarily only use cold pressed oil now like coconut, olive, palm, and avacado. When I have carbs it's primarily from fresh vegetables and occasionally fruits. Basically most of what I eat are things that haven't undergone a lot of processing and I make a lot of stuff myself. Like the biggest difference between the diets of old humans vs modern, when you look at the global history of diets, is how precessed the food was. Some cultures ate tons of carbs through farming tubers, some eat almost entirely meat and animal products, and tons of cultures that eat a huge mix of everything in-between, and most all of them were healthier than we are now (from a diet health standpoint).
The one big difference that sticks out is we eat a bunch of shit now that we can't normally get without a ton of crazy processing. Like shit we mine out of a certain rock hundreds of feet below the earth, or something we get through multiple extractions from a plants that then fermented into a sugar substitute after it's then chlorinated. Or shit like cottonseed and rapeseed oil which comes out of an otherwise inedible seed they have to heat at high temps repeatedly while pressing out the oil, then mix and filter with petroleum solvents to create an oil that doesn't smell like rancid dogshit. It's all this processing and crazy shit we do to foods now.
Tons of shit because autism :<
Interesting, I never would’ve guessed, thanks for sharing🫡
Literally the same for me. I don't eat most vegetables and I do not eat wet food (soup, sauces, etc.).
Some forms of non-homogenous food are inedible for me. Like, strawberry yoghurt, or most vegetables.
Or those stupid carrot pieces in soup. Can't they grind that shit down like everything else?
Grapefruit actually interacts with tons of medications, actually.
Also it just tastes like worse oranges so I don't know why anyone eats it lol
