I got turned off of milk a few months ago after someone from /ck/ posted about it having puss and other shit in it.

How true is that? I sorta miss drinking it, but I get turned off of it every time I try.

It might but it all goes away after they pasturize it.

I used to drink milk straight from the cow.
Into a cup, obviously.

It was great and there was literally nothing wrong with the taste, consistency, or smell.
It was pretty much whole milk that was slightly warm and delicious.

Why do people avoid fat? I mean if you're avoiding calories fine. Fat is pretty calorie dense. But fat is also important in that it makes you feel full. No product should be low in fat as a default. But so many meals are exclusively 95, 96, 97, 98, 99% fat free! It's not like the frozen or premade meal has two varieties either - a normal and a light. It's just a light meal, but it's not lean cuisine or whatever. It's literally just brand x of frozen mac and cheese or cup a soup.

Fun fact: It was the second people started avoiding fat that obesity became a thing. Sure, that's correlative and there were a range of factors - but surely people by now should understand that avoiding fat isn't good for your health and it certainly won't make you thin. Fat people who spend their whole lives avoiding fat should have learned that by now.

[Anonymous No.6436452]

>>6436445
Avoiding fat so that you don't gain weight is like avoiding eggs so that you don't get cholesterol. Other things that are processed in your body turn into fat and cholesterol, it's not the actual fact or cholesterol that's the problem. Fucking idiots.

[Anonymous No.6436465]

>>6436452
Naah, bro. You are what you eat!

Actually this reminds me of a story about my mother who literally is retarded about nutrition. She used to tell me that baked potatoes and carrots in a tray swimming with vegetable or canola oil was "healthy veges". And whatever, starchy carbs in heat-pressed oils full of trans fats can be fine in moderation. She then recounted about how my grandmother used to cook vegetables in lard and how disgustingly unhealthy that is.

She literally thought that cooking in oil was healthier than cooking in lard. Like what? She thought that if you eat fat your body would store the fat as fat but if you eat oil then...? I don't even know. And ontop of it all lard is half saturated and half monosaturated. Now people still think saturated = bad. But that's simply not true. Saturated fat is actually good for you and monosaturated is GOAT. Canola and vegetable oils are essentially complete garbage. It just amazes me that the wisdom of the generation of my grandparents was so on point but the wisdom of baby boomers is so fucking shit.

Diet trends come and go. The "fat makes you fat" thing was the craze in the '80's. Then in the 90's you had "low cholesterol", in the 2000's it became low carb. Now we have gluten-free and paleo trends. Whenever there's so much hype and advertising surrounding a trend like that people tend to believe bits and pieces of it, and retain those beliefs.

This is a myth. Obesity had been rising for long enough that the US dietary guidelines in 1977 put out the advice to lower fat consumption (as well as sugar consumption) to help fight the trend. Here's the country's macronutrient intakes from 1909-2010

http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/sites/default/files/nutrient_content_of_the_us_food_supply/KilocaloriesandMacronutrientsPerCapitaperDay1909-2010.xls

Fat as a percentage of calories fell slightly for a period, but the absolute amount of fat didn't budge, and eventually continued to rise. Most of the carbohydrates that increased during that time were simple carbs in processed foods that are also high in fat. People didn't get fat because they meticulously followed the food pyramid and ate a lean diet of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Fat people aren't fat because of their diets of steamed rice, broccoli, and apples. People got fat because they continued eating fatty, sugary foods even after health officials told them not to.

I've tried the brand in the pic, they're okay. You want to use a really flavorful sauce because the noodles themselves don't have much flavor. The texture is weird and a little rubbery, even after pan frying them dry to get the moisture out.
