Why can't we live on just cookies?

If you made them from potatoes and dipped them in milk you could live on just cookies.

Make them with chunks of jerky and some vitamin gummies, top with broccoli icing.

Europe was built by the potato. Africa is built by mud cookies. seriously. niggers.

You could prob get away with doing this if you took some high quality multivitamins every day, and also add extra fiber to the cookies.

I'm pretty sure you can. They have a complete amino acid score. They're pretty damn low in protein though, so you'd need to eat a lot (like 3,000 kcal a day).

Mh. You'd need to devise a cookie made with a high fiber flour, way less sugar, and less and darker chocolate.
Couldn't live on just that, but it could be the mainstate of a diet.

Haiti used to be a thriving colony producing tons of food and shit. The niggers destroyed the island, cut all the trees to make coal, resulting in the land going to shit.

Haiti isn't a problem of money. It's what happens when you let niggers alone on an island without white/asian supervision. Same shit happened in Africa.

Do you spend all your days reading tweets from nig nogs you've never heard of just to giggle at their phrasing?

Or are you one of those "I speak and act like a spastic because I'm so annoying you" types?

Genuinely curious about how to spot different types of retarded folk.

According to WolframAlpha, a typical cookie is made out of 67.5% carbohydrate, 5.6% protein and 19.2% fat. A single 15 g cookie has about 68 calories, so to reach 2000 calories you'd have to eat 30 cookies per day. This would provide 87 g of fat (134% of RDA), 305 g of carbohydrates (102% of RDA) but only 25 g of protein (51% of RDA). Thus to get adequate protein you'd have to eat 59 cookies per day for 4035 calories, 171 g of fat (263% of RDA), 600 g of carbohydrates (200% of RDA) and 50 g of protein (100% of RDA).

You would still get a lot of vitamin deficiencies. 59 cookies would provide you with enough iron (143% of RDA), thiamin (139%), folate (111%), riboflavin (106%), niacin (106%) and probably phosphorus (96%), but would be insufficient in magnesium (66%), vitamin E (49%), calcium (39%), zinc (35%), vitamin A (26%), vitamin B6 (25%), vitamin B12 (10%) and especially vitamin C (2%).

You could still survive for at least 3-6 months until you got scurvy from the lack of vitamin C, unless you managed to eat about 3,800 cookies daily. That's about 57 kilograms of cookies (about 4 cookies per minute, 16 hours per day). This would also provide you with 91,000 calories. Unfortunately you would also get moderate-to-severe overdoses of some vitamins and minerals, namely hypervitaminosis A, hypercalcemia, hypermagnesemia, iron poisoning, and an overdose of niacin, phosphorus and zinc, with your intake levels ranging from 8 times to 80 times the tolerable upper intake level of these nutrients. If these didn't kill you, the 500 grams of salt likely would, being about twice the estimated LD50.

Overall, I would not recommend living entirely on cookies.

How could we improve them?
Would extra eggs increase the protein or are unusual ingredients necessary?

You would most importantly need to tweak the macronutrient ratio. So let's replace white flour with whole wheat flour, cut back on sugar and replace it with molasses for some extra nutrients and replace some of the butter with whole milk. Suppose we make a cookie dough with the following: 350 g whole wheat flour, 110 g whole milk, 60 g molasses, 80 g butter and 5 g salt. When baked this should make about 500 g of cookies, or 33 cookies for 15 g each. In total they would contain 2002 calories (100% of daily value), 302 g carbohydrates (101%), 50 g protein (100%), 77 g fat (119%) and 6.2 g salt (101%).

You would also be getting plenty of magnesium (159% of RDA), phosphorus (140%), thiamin (123%), vitamin B6 (112%) and a good amount of niacin (90%) and iron (86%), but the rest of your micronutrients you would have to get elsewhere. These cookies would still contain practically no vitamin C, which I think is the one whose deficiency gives symptoms the earliest. You could potentially crush multi-vitamin tablets into a powder and mix them with the cookies, though I don't know if the vitamins would survive the baking.

Maybe we could get /fit/ to fine tune the recipe and get someone to live on 33 cookies per day for a year.

Would dried fruits like raisins add vitamin C?

>> No.7118503

>>7118470
Yes, but very little. Most of the vitamin C is destroyed during drying. Grapes lose something like 90% of their vitamin C as they are dried into raisins. The high heat of baking also destroys a significant portion of the vitamin, depending on baking time and temperature.

Even if we assume no heat denaturation from baking, you would still need around 1-2 kilograms of raisins per day to get sufficient vitamin C. In other words your cookie dough would be mostly just raisins.

Throw in some beef jerky or slim jims then good to go
