Unpopular truths

I'll start:
>You don't have to peel carrots. The only reason to do it would be aesthetic appeal, but for stews or things where chopped carrot is mixed into other stuff, that's irrelevant. Stop peeling carrots!

Carrot skins can have a bitter or astringent taste. Not all of the time, but enough that I just peel them by routine.

Medium true, to be "skinny" in the modern slopiverse requires monk tier dedication and focus or else an outright anorexic mindset. Something around the "dad bod" for men or "thicc" type for women is what you look like if you eat a reasonable and healthy home cooked diet in the modern food supply. If you're genuinely hugely obese like 300lb+ you are likely mentally ill and there is no real enjoyment in food, you're just compulsively and mindlessly sucking down soda and chips every waking moment.

There is literally Zero reason to strain out stock unless you're going for Michelin stars and for some reason give a fuck about it being clear. It's a ton of extra time and dishes to run it through cheesecloth multiple times for absolutely no benefit in taste or function.

>I will never peel a potato
Potato skin is where the vitamins and minerals are, but if you're simmering potatoes and want a broth to absorb into them, then you really do need to remove the skin.
>I will never peel a sweet potato
Not a root vegetable, and the skin isn't even really edible. Certainly not palatable.
>I will never even peel an apple. The skin stays on.
You're listing a lot of examples of things that actually have skin. Carrots don't even have a skin to peel. People are just peeling a layer of...carrot. There's nothing you're going to get your fingernail under, like on a potato, sweet potato or apple.

Eating a decent meal just once or twice a day with no snacks results in dad bod if you cook good food.

When I lived in Japan, I had junk food for breakfast and had McDonalds for dinner (lunch was prepared for us at work), and I lost like 10 pounds in the first 4 months of living there. There's something in the food or water in America. It's not normal to become pear shaped from just eating one meal per day.

No, it's because the water here is full of chemicals and foods are full of microplastics that fuck with your body. Atrazine is such a strong endocrine disruptor that it will change male frogs into females. It's found in most American water that comes out of the tap. You cover your entire body in it when you shower. People are actually naive enough to think calories matter.

Might be the case but I'm not drinking a 12er of cokes a day and drowning everything in ranch. I home cook good food and don't shy away from the meat and butter and etc. Make my own bread, sometimes bake other stuff which strays into the desserts or snacks category. Zero fast food, doordash, or store bought frozen slop and chips and oreos. Just how it is. I'm also like 35 though so if you're barely legal the equation is different.

I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full and I've been within the same 10lb range since my 20s, which was about two decades ago. If you have an actual life and do real things with your time then you don't need to eat for entertainment, which is how 99.99% of people who cry about how hard it is to stay "thin" live their lives.

Food is sustenance, not entertainment.

Morphologically, the potato and sweet potato come from different parts of their plants. I just double-checked, and I mixed them up in my post >>20097727. Sweet potatoes are roots, but (white) potatoes are actually stems.

The point is simple, though-- Stop eating sweet potato skins. What the hell is wrong with you?

Then I think you have found your way to the wrong board, this is "/ck/ - food and cooking" where the focus is implicitly on cooking as a hobby and food as a subject of enjoyment. If you want flavorless sustenance-only nutritional paste gruel then maybe /fit/ will be more your speed.

There's a difference between making your food healthy, nutritious (basically requires that you cook it yourself), and tasty vs. putting your entire focus on flavor and using eating as a substitute for any other kind of interesting activity in your life.

Don't come here pretending that you spend all day eating because you're an expert gourmand, you sad, coping, fat fuck. You spend all day eating because it's the most exciting thing that exists in your worthless life and that's why you're obese.

I spend all day cooking and like 20 minutes eating, I think you're confused. That might be considered a waste of time to somebody but if you're cooking as a hobby is that really due to a lack of interesting activity in your life? It is the interesting activity.
