>two organic, free-range eggs

Why do people think adding adjectives to unhealthy food makes them healthy? What does 2 eggs provide you with besides increased risk of heart failure?

>activated almonds
>homemade coconut
>emu meatballs

Fuck this guy

>>5405078
at this point in time, I think people realize that the health benefits are small unless you are eating tons of eggs
people are really just going for flavor, which organic and free range guarantee, just look for literally any study upon the topic

>>5405083
>homemade coconut
This pisses me off so much.

pretty much the only diff between organic and "gmo" crops are organic usually taste better and gmo are easier to grow

eggs and sauteed stuff 3 times a day not really a big issue if you do your prep in the mornings.

No difference in taste. The seed is going to produce crops of whatever flavor and texture it is meant to have, and the rest is the amount of sun and weather (cold and heat both).
GMO crops have higher yield per acre, and are fresher to market for longer periods of times, because they were engineering to have thicker peels, longer life.

Wow. I can't believe how stupid some people are...do they even think about the shit they say?

I don't get the point of making eggs free-range, they can't really move on their own, can they?

>>5405460

No. It's just like organic. Whenever I see a 'cage free' sticker it makes me want to pray to god (who isn't real) that those chickens got raped their whole miserable lives. Fuck SJW animal rights people.

>2 eggs is a lot of cholesterol even for meat eating standards (and no it's not the good kind)

Good cholesterol and bad cholesterol are pointless once it enters your body, because the cholesterol in your bloodstream is determined by your sugar intake, not what kind of cholesterol you're eating.

>>5405478

Where did you read that? Or did you mean to say saturated fat?

>>5405565

Dietary cholesterol does influence blood cholesterol, just not as much as saturated fat. This isn't the only reason cholesterol is considered bad though, it's just the reason the egg lobby chooses to focus on because it's the easiest one to publically redeem through badly designed studies.

>>5405690

So mad.
So afraid.

You do realize your stress has more to do with your health than a couple eggs... And since you seem to want to shove your antiquated fear down everyone's throat to prove to yourself that you're right by basically shouting loudest... I can safely assume you're not a particularly calm person.

You should see what I eat.
You should see my bloodwork.

I live a stress-free life, eat amazing food.
Not picking on you, but you need to relax.

Read some medical studies that were written in the last ten years. know the difference between correlation vs. causation. For instance: a vegetarian isn't necessarily healthy due to their diet, more accurately, people that are vegetarians are generally already pretty conscious about their health. Conversely, the people they tend to study that "eat a lot of meat" also did not tend to eat healthy overall. The groups that were "omnivorous", as in they ate meat regularly, but also ate plants regularly trump even the vegetarians (this is my category).

The key words are moderation & exercise.

Two eggs is nothing if you're using them. If you're sitting on your ass eating high calorie/processed foods and never using it... Hell, even if you're "eating right" but sitting on your ass doing nothing, you're running some risk (or stressing out on an anonymous internet forum veins bulging because someone's eating 2 eggs...).

Because I have things to do beside making food all day long

dude i know he was talking about the muffin, but this guy is still the biggest douche. 9/10 would follow to car and rob.

Okay... if he's trying to push his faggot organic agenda... why the fuck does it have to be EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL.

emu meatballs? EMU meatballs? dude... that's fucked up. And how is that better than beef or chicken anyway...

This guy is just a total faggot. This is the kind of person that has no identity, no thought process to base one off of.... it's like a blank slate. A stem cell. ooh thats good.

he's a fucking stem cell. Apparently he discovered organic propaganda and absorbed all of the faggotry. Now he's an "activist"... imagine that... before being a nobody... reading some stuff... and now he's an activist.

ugh. im gonna go to jail one day for an unprovoked beating of some fag like this.

dude are you completely retarded? the same genes that give fruits/vegetables flavor - are the ones that make them rot. It's all that FLAVOR chemicals and processes that makes it less stable, not fucking thicker peels.

Longer life - because it has less of the delicious juices to eat away at the fruit. A fruit is ALIVE. It's a fucking seed. It's programmed to rot, and grow.

if your fruits are not rotting - they're not as "natural"... so they won't taste as good.

I can't fucking believe you don't know any of this .... have you ever tried farm-fresh veggies/fruits? Shit that wasn't modified? It's completely different.

Most in-store veggies are tasteless through classical breeding, though. But it works the same way - when you breed a tomato to last 10 weeks on the shelf, you breed out the delicious acids and sugars that make it tasty.

dumbass.

this man has got it. Stress influences cortisol and epi/norepinephrine levels, which influences what your body decides to do with energy rich sugar and fat.

>>5406032

and who stresses more then people that have to read every single label to find Non-GMO, organic, cage free, free range sugar.

>>5406177
lol, not really - the stuff written on those pages abide by very strict rules of chemistry... it's like doing Algebra where the variables are chemicals.

But... the organic addicts... they don't get their information from a textbook. They get it from news, alarmists, hippies, word of mouth, etc. They're constantly changing what they're buying based on what the Oxygen network recommended that day or whatever.

Ugh. gross. I like chemistry - its like a mix of algebra and english (cause of all the "conjugations of the chemicals like sodium carbonate... carbononoe... carbonite... ugh.)

>activated almonds
Hold the fuck up, how do I activate an almond? And what is the benefit of activating them?

Tell me how to activate almonds, /ck/. That seems pretty badass.

>>5406185
i think it's when you burn them. like activated carbon. probably tastes like shit, but adsorbs nasty radicals or whatever.

regular almonds are perfectly fine

I googled it, it's just soaking them for 12 hours. Changes the enzymes or some other retarded shit.

>>5406182
In theory, sure. In their actual application, though, the main use of GMO is to make crops more pesticide resistant, so more can be sprayed on them.

This is the problem with it that sane people have, it's not muh unnatural, or bullshit ideas about GMO probably causes tumors or something, it's simply that when you're buying produce, buying GMO means you'll be eating pesticide.

>>5406263
You're clearly an idiot who believes what they post on NaturalNews.

>>5405067

Jesus Christ, all of that broscience and soccer mom pseudoscience.

>>5406439
Are you fucking retarded?

99% of GMOs are round-up resident crops (so you can dump more round-up on them) & Bt crops, which produce Bt (a pesticide protein).

>>5406515
>the main use of GMO is to make crops more pesticide resistant, so more can be sprayed on them.
>99% of GMOs are round-up resident crops (so you can dump more round-up on them) & Bt crops, which produce Bt (a pesticide protein).

Glyphosate is an herbicide. Using plants that are resistant to glyphosate (a broad-spectrum herbicide, meaning that it attacks both monocots and dicots) means that both less and fewer herbicides need to be applied to control weeds.

Plants that produce pesticide proteins require less pesticide applied to them.

>>5406515
>>5406263

not to mention what happens to the farmers

>>5406515
Also are you some sort of false flagger trying to convince people that anti-GMO people are really fucking stupid and don't understand science or what words mean?

I mean, you really don't have to work so hard, dude.

>>5406564

a herbicide is a pesticide. A pesticide kills pests. Look it up; algicide, bactericide, herbicide, insecticide: all pesticides

>>5406245

it wakes up the seed. This happens with most anything in seed form. There are chemical changes. It's not retarded, however, I like the crunch of almonds "unactivated"

>>5406635
Fine, then Bt is an insecticide. What a victory for you.

>>5406185
Reminds me of that pasta about the customer service rep who told his clients that in order to activate their cellphones they had to hold them to the sky and scream "Activo!"

>bunch of fatty boomstick bogans read Pete's commandments
>they're now clogging up Safeway ailses, holding bags of almonds to the fluroscents
>screaming, "Activate, cunt!"

>>5406005

I'm not mad or stressed, I just think it's weird how every health organization in the world still says dietary cholesterol is bad, yet the opposition to that claim is always "no, you don't get it, there's new data out there that only me and a few atkins/paleo/low carb bloggers know about, mainstream doctors don't know what they're talking about"

You're giving a lot of excuses, but not good advice. Good diet and exercise should be go hand in hand, not eating junk food and then trying to exercise off the damage.

Correlative research. Not to say this study isn't a valid scientific study, but it doesn't say eggs are bad. They just asked people how many eggs they eat and check if they had any heart attacks 20 years later. I could ask people if they are African american or white, check how many heart attacks they had, and conclude that blackness causes heart failure.

People who eat eggs are probably more likely to not give a fuck what they eat, because eggs are tasty. Not eating eggs mean you're a vegan pussy and while vegan diets arent inheriently more healthy it is healty to watch what you eat, and Vegans have to do that to survive on their leaf diets.

He should lift. You can tell when people just lose weight from eating without exercising. Still got that round face but an emaciated body.

He's Australian. Emus live in Australia. It's locally sourced meat.
Are you going to piss on me because I live in Alaska and eat bears and moose?

>>5405067
I keep trying to activate my almonds but it keeps saying I have the wrong product key and need to contact customer service. Any troubleshooting advice?

>>5407237

>>5407237
Kill yourself. I assume Pete already has as nobody could truly manage to bear that level of faggotry without feeling a nagging desire to off ones self.

TL;DR, the almonds need your life energy to activate. Are you man enough to give them what they need?

>>5407213
>emus
>local to anywhere but animal sanctuaries and the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere

The almond is a seed of the almond tree, so is "activated" is used in the sense meaning the seed is starting its first stage of growth when soaked in water it is probably true.

There is zero reason to assume that is inheriently good or bad for it's nutritional value though.

>>5407305

if anything it's bad because some of the nutrients were used to sprout.

>>5405464
Fuck organic and fuck you too, atheist warrior faggot.

>>5405067
Because I don't even know what half that shit is, let alone where I might find it.

And I don't need to eat that douchey of a diet to be healthy.

>>5405464

"Cage Free/Free Rage" = chickens that can move around and scrounge up their own food in addition to what they are being fed => better eggs.

Don't get quality mixed in with all that faggotry. The eggs genuinely taste better and are healthier (that's how you get them delicious deep orange yolks).

tl;dr buy those eggs because they taste better and not because you associate them with faggots
