luca---i grew up drinking whole milk out of the carton in the fridge all day--it's what i drank when thirsty--cheese all day, again right outta the fridge

drank prolly 3-4 cups whole milk per day til i quit dairy a couple years ago--wakeup for me was a chest scan which showed my calcium score only slightly better than avg for my age, despite continually stellar cholesterol and other blood work---so i got rid of fatty dairy, but also meat---i am lighter and more fit, but ive been bike-commuting 50 mins ea way too--who knows why we feel good or bad?---so many variables, including that im a psychotic freak, which can make me feel bad, even when ive eaten the "best" foods

ima get another scan in a year or two (lotta radiation)--hope the calcium score goes from avg to stud

gluten sensitivity??  jury's still out for me--unarguable is that gluten-free indu$try is big bux, so there are many with a stake in keeping the concern growing, hysteria or not

yeah, me too...….not the cheese tho but guzzled milk. Sometime around the time I had kids/mid twenties that craving/habit/behavior just disappeared. Not sure why. I guess I was out of puberty by then? (.proudly still immature tho..) Don't drink it much anymore but something about chocolate milk in the morning and camping is still there.
I brought up dairy as I was just thinking how foods have change over last 150 years or so.
Was milk really drank much before refrigeration?
Are Americans really the only ones who guzzle it?
I got no clue.

With gluten what has swayed me is my oldest kid.
My daughter had some surgery and can't remember what triggered it, but she cut out gluten some time during the rehab part. Made her feel better and solved some issues she had for quite a while. Nothing major, just discomfort or things not at their best kind of thing but enough that it was kind of night and day for her.
Ok...……
(it was sometime after this that I heard about the surgery and gluten tolerance link although her "issues" were happening prior for sure)
Next daughter decides to cut it out a few years later. I suspected "trendy cut out" but she says it really helped her.
Ok...…
A few more years later to this year and my boy does some sort of food sensitivity test. It lists gluten. Not a big thing but something to watch. I can't remember the test and really don't know what other things it checked but
He cuts it out.....
More better. He doesn't lead the healthiest of lifestyles but he swears that has really changed some things for him.
I know other people as well and always kind of wondered about it..."aw geez..…" but his is the one that really started to turn me.

I wonder if it's combined with some other crap we fill ourselves with? Is it age related? Under 40 or under 30 crowd more prone for it? I know it runs across all ages but...….
I got 4 kids. 3 have cut out the gluten with good results. The kid who probably lives and eats the healthiest of all 6 of us has no issues and probably eats it daily. Mom and dad haven't got any problems with it either.

Yep, big bucks. Yep, it's trendy...…

Make sure and say hi to Ted if you end up in the same freezer...…..

Extra crispy or original?

………………….
Kraft Miracle Whip, dill pickles, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, bacon bits and a squaew slice of swiss cheese. ………………..

Miracle Whip?
Oh no....I was all in with you and then...…..Miracle Whip.....

After all these years of domestication I wonder, generally speaking, why dogs don't hunt anymore but with cats it's just still what they do. Something to do with packs maybe? I don't know...…

Fake Fried chicken? That might be worse than a fake burger...

So, the controversy is how much wheat and grains should be considered excessive. I'm not completely eliminating it from my life, just cutting back on a lot of it and not eating too much at one time. There is a lot more information out there with varying opinions. I think science is beginning to the understand that the amount of wheat that the average American eats may not be healthful. Some doctors believe that a lifetime of daily intake could contribute to many of the physical and neurological problems people face in old age.

I am starting to be convinced there is something up with the gluten/wheat deal...…….to a point.
Too many people around me who have cut it out of their diets and feel better/do better.
Heard something somewhere that a surgery can trigger the "sensitivity" to it in some people and seen what appeared to be that timing in at least one person I know.
Also means no more beer.
no, hard cider or seltzer are not the same...…..

I think everyone knows the food we eat now vs. what we ate 100-150 years ago is vastly different and if you eat crap every day it will make you feel like crap and catch up with you as the years go on.
Defining crap and how much crap and what kind of crap is too much is where we are right now I think. Too much of this might be crap for all but just a bit of this crap might be ok for some but not all.

How about dairy? Isn't that something to be considered as something that has changed massively? Yes, lactose intolerant and all that and no good for some, don't have too much, etc but...…..
Pasteurization? Anything to consider there? Does what it do to make our stuff safe take out and take away what is needed to make the stuff what we need?

SUP General / Re: First lesson did not go well. Struggling and disheartened. Bigger person

« on: August 22, 2019, 09:12:28 PM »

Hi everyone. I'm new here.

Without giving a long sob story, I've been through a complete and utter rubbish couple of years, put on weight due to some of that and have not felt great in general.

Thought it was about time to stop feeling sorry for myself, lose some weight, get a better level of fitness again and challenge myself socially and do new things and try to get back to the person I once was! Positive attitude and all that.

A friend of mine started paddleboarding last summer and I've thought it looked fun for a long time but being self-conscious and worrying about making a fool of myself put me off.

I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a four week course.

I had my first lesson yesterday and it did not go well. I knew I'd be a bit rubbish but I exceeded my already low expectations and was without a doubt, the worst in a class of 15 others.

I'm a size 16(UK) so knew I'd probably be one of the bigger people but was assured they cater for all sizes.
I have completely reinforced the 'fat lass struggling in the corner' stereotype. I was embarrassingly bad.
I had zero balance (found it difficult to so much as move slightly on the board i.e. changing leg position, leaning back to tighten leash, going from kneeling to sitting).

I had read that it was a fairly easy sport to get to grips with the basics and that bigger people can do it fine so went in thinking I'd be ok.

I'm starting to worry I'll never stand up without falling in or even be able to move.
I was on a large blue and yellow O'shea board (hope I've got the name right) which was 10'6 x 32 and as soon as I slightly shifted my weight, even into one bent leg, to try and bend the other to stand up, the whole thing was tipping to one side.

Is it just a case of practicing? I feel so low and disheartened and kinda hate myself for how it went.

Anyone else either overweight or a bigger or muscled/heavier person that has mastered it eventually?

Went into it so positive and now feel like it's never going to happen.
I'm ashamed to show my face for next week's lesson!

Sorry for the length of this. I'm not looking for sympathy, just an answer as to whether it's doable for someone like me or whether I should put it down to experience and move on?

Thanks.

Keep going.....
you know that already.

Inflatable? (..805 showed it...)
Don't matter the inflatable.....
They're twitchy...like Ichy said......
I can imagine trying to learn  on a 32 x 10'6 inflatable never doing this before.
Did you get wet?

Some place giving lessons had the board?
I'll bet it was under inflated as well.....

Does not sound like the board I would choose to try and get someone out on the water with.....
But you'll get it,
even on that...…
but do check the air......12 lbs. vs. 15 and especially to 18 is huge...…..
if not.....go rent a hard board somewhere...…..same or bigger dimensions if possible...
Night and day....

How many acres of land does it take to grow one? In south Texas with a lot of rain, about 3 acres per cow.

But it’s so wet that you need to give them some supplements to keep them from getting sick. Sooo... there’s that.

In dry country figure you need more land than that.

exactly to what I asked...…
but what I meant to ask....
How many acres of green stuff grows a cows worth of burger?
soooo..........
3 acres to feed a cow....(got to know that...) (heard something about that before....."...this many acres...."...)

say a cow gives 500 lbs. beef....
How many acres of land to grow 500 lbs of .....beef alternative?
and then......3 vs 3? 3 vs 1 ? 3 vs 6? (water, erosion, fertilizers, cattle shit.......)?
a bit of math.
What does it mean?
No more chili burgers?
No one will know what a killer chili burger is in twenty years?
Nah.........

I haven't tried any in a few years and couldn't remember what I tried anyways........
no bueno.....I do remember that.
I'll have to try something new or mentioned here.....

.........…. I just had a fakeburger, and it was good. In fact it was better than a standard fast food burger. The fake burger is going to keep getting better.....
….In this care it's the first taste. I tasted it. It was good. They're fucked. .

2:30 in the morning before you go to sleep or 8:30 in the morning after you wake up?
Can you do it 3 times in a row?

yummy...
echhhhh.
gas station burrito..........damn if I havent had a good one that's never been quite the same the next time.........
I don't know..........
What would we call it?
Ground Montana Angus or Ground Willamette Muckers?

but the beef industry is probably not a good long term call........

how many acres of green stuff do you need to grow for each cow?

No more cheeseburgers?
Naw....
