Topic: Protein being put in everything.

I just want a bar of chocolate without it being "high protein chocolate". And wtf is protein water? I just want to quench my thirst, if I wanted protein I'd just have some protein powder and some nuts or something.

Haven't you heard? The radical left is waging a war on protein. We have to fight back.

I know it’s fake, but a part of me believes there’s a Walmart somewhere in Texas where a 300lbs woman is putting one of those in her shopping cart right now to go home and put some ketchup on it and feed it to her 10 kids that live in a McMansion that’s somehow simultaneously a trailer home and her husband is an overweight police officer.

Protein is hyped. Check the label. A lot of these products include sugar and other garbage ingredients.

Unfortunately those also have a fair amount of saturated fats, which people with heart disease or are high risk for heart disease need to limit. The American Heart Association recommends such individuals limit their saturated fat intake to less than 6% of their daily calories. For an average 2000-calorie American diet, that's just 13g of saturated fats per day. One average egg has almost 2g. A handful of nuts about the same. Of course, the shitty processed protein snacks in question have way more plus tons of sugar and such. So still the superior choice and most healthy people don't have to worry about the saturated fat content of natural foods like eggs or nuts.
As someone with family history of heart disease and some not-so-great health metrics, I've recently been improving my diet in an attempt to not die at age 40. Keeping my saturated fat levels low has been one of the hardest parts, along with limiting sodium to less than 1500 mg/day (the average American consumes over 3400!).

Sorry just felt like diet ranting. Been on my mind and needed to info dump.
Side note. That macaroni-beef-ball looks so fucking good. I miss cheese and grease and red meat.

This is random, it’s probably because we’re on the subject of health, but I remember hearing that even though some people think you’re supposed to try to suck the poison out of a snake bite that actually doesn’t work and makes it spread more. There are no venomous snakes anywhere near where I live, but I feel like I should probably figure that out, who’s right about that?

Ok yeah so I googled it and google said you’re definitely not supposed to suck the poison out of a snake bite.

But I’ve also heard people talk about cutting the flesh out instead and now I’m wondering about that because that seems like it could lead to too much blood loss…

Interesting so that also makes it spread more.

So basically it seems like if you get bitten by a snake you should do nothing, essentially, except go to the hospital because everything makes it worse. Fascinating!

So I guess if you’re stranded and you get bitten by a venomous snake then you’re just gonna die and that’s just how it is then.

Decades of research shows a link between saturated fat intake and an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, and between increased LDL and risk of heart disease. I think you'd find that saturated fat consumption today far exceeds "what humanity has done forever", and it behooves those with high cholesterol, heart disease, or a genetic predisposition for heart disease, to limit their intake.

It's ok to admit you just skimmed the post, I won't hold it against anyone for skimming blogposts

But then I’ve heard there are some tribes in Africa that will poison large animals like a giraffe and follow it around until it dies but how does that work so it can kill a giraffe but not a human?

"The socio-cultural, historical, and ecological contexts of the various San groups may determine differences in the sources and preparation of poisons, bow and arrow technology, hunting behaviors, poison potency, and perhaps antidotes."
So apparently they discovered antidotes to the poison… I wonder how many attempts it took to figure that out.

About as useful as reading tea leaves and balancing humours.
Just exercise more fatty, and you wont have to worry about a little nutritional boogeyman. And no, that dont include pizza breaks.

Exercise? Idk I watched a Youtube video once that said that exercise is a scam. I mean yeah there's plenty of supposed scientific evidence backing up the health benefits of exercise, but I'm choosing to believe the influencers on this one.

Exercise reduces the risk of a lot of health problems, including dementia. For weight loss though, everyone doesn’t have the same metabolism and the same hormones, so for some people they do actually need something beyond just exercise. That doesn’t mean they don’t also need exercise though.

Apparently, they used to think that after you were born it was impossible to grow new neurons and the neurons you were born with would be the ones you died with. That’s mostly true, most of the neurons in your brain live as long as you do and humans have a greatly reduced ability to produce more brain cells compared to other species, but adult humans actually do have the ability to grow more brain cells, but it’s only one specific part of the brain that can produce them and they migrate to where they’re needed. And apparently the best way to stimulate that process is just exercise.

Will all due respect, every picture I've seen of you suggests you'd benefit from more protein. Soy doesn't count as protein. Neither do emissions from humans.
