Seriously, Do you know what you are actually eating?


Do you eat processed foods? Are you sure you know what's in that organic hamburger meat?


DO you care?
 
What do you mean by processed? There's various levels of processing done to most food, so to what type are you talking about specifically?

But generally, I don't care.

Easy, if you look at the ingredients, if its not something your grandmother would have recognized, comes in a box, or more than 5 ingredients it's probably proccessed.
 
What's in semen, again?
Obviously I'm on a low-fat high-protein high-fiber diet and am unconcerned about the mix of tidbits, cartiledge and what not which makes up my occasional hamburger :D

I have no choice. I'm intolerant to wheat and dairy. Most processed food makes me feel like crap and saps all my energy. Some kinds of fruit and veg wreak complete havok on my system. I have no choice but to be very aware of what I feed my body.

not sure what point you are trying to make
food processing is necessary in a non agrarian economy
sun drying/salt preservation is an ancient process
flash freezing vegetables is a very healthy technique to process food to best preserve vital nutrients and vitamins
processing milk makes it healthier to drink

i would submit that there are other processes that are not so healthy. they are often found associated with convenience foods

i am betting you intended to make a point, take another stab at it

I'm sorry you couldn't graps the concept of the thread, seems everyone else has. I made no commentary on proccessed foods other than asking if you knew what was in them. Fact is most people do not know what they are eating, this thread is a discussion about this.

I hope this helps.

Pink slime - is that better or worse than green ooze? Amonia's found in fish and other food sources so that doesn't frighten me. What does is the fat content and empty calorie promises - it looks like a filling meal but it's really not. I hereby accuse it of fronting on my dime.

I understand there is amonia already naturallymim beef. But when you take the e. Coli and other bactieria laden trimmings and spray it with amonia, the Good Reverend gets concerned.

That and the ph balance is past what is acceptable.

I am not against its use. However the usda seems to think when you buy ground beef that if they add this **** they dont have to tell you. That i find offensive.


Btw. You do know that your avatar the kettlebell is being held completley wrong. You wany to **** your hand so the thing does not slam on your wrists... 100lb snatches would kill your wrists. ;)
 
Well when you fertilize my lettuce with horse **** the Good Spiker gets salmonella.

Everything fronts with danger - it's suppose to make it sexy. I'm not going to curl in protest against one questionable source when everything tends to devolve into 'ew - wtf' if you pick it apart.

I'm sure the crap they add to my tap water is something I consume in larger quantities than whatever mystery is in a hamburger patty - and technically it's 'trimmings' not 'pink slime' - nice tactic, though . . . but I'm just not concerned with things like that for some reason.

Now - if I lived on hamburgers then that might be a different story.

are you perhaps referring to the FDA's limits on the number of insect parts and rat feces that can be contained in processed foods?

I eat hormone and antibiotic free chicken. Also venison,dove, and wild boar meat which I kill. We grow our own vegtables which we can to preserve. I also grow potatos. Talked to the wife the other day about building a chicken coop so we can raise egg laying hens.

I have a flock of quasi feral chickens that roam my pasture. I built a couple of nest boxes and get free eggs. We also grow our own veggies. haven't tried potatoes yet, that's next year.

Thank you. I was waiting for this.

I have no issue with the process or the sale of pink slime. What i as a libertarian take issue with is the government allowing a coporation to not only liee about content and sheltering them from listimg thier ingredients but actively protect them from reveqling the contents and proccess.

Libertarianism is no a death pact and one of the tenents is free as long as you dont infringe on the rights of others.

When you sell me e. Coli amonia blasted beef trimmings as "chuck/sirloin" 80/20 ground beef you are lying to me when you adf an additive such as ammonia laced beef trimmings and fail to list said ingredients.
