Roald Dahl thread hijacking ftw <3.
Although really, it DOES tie in with vegetarianism. The bad giants ended up as vegetarians themselves, after they got caught. Nothing but snozzcumbers! Serves them right. Bastards!

Protein. While protein can be obtained from beans and legumes, there are a few problems:
1. Every single bean and legume besides peanuts are completely fucking gross.
2. Most beans make you gassy.
3. Peanuts are becoming an increasingly taboo food product because women are giving their children deadly strong peanut allergies by ingesting unacceptable amounts of it while pregnant or nursing. Schools are banning peanuts, restaurants are cutting it out of their menus, all because of bad parenting.
That chart also has both eggs on it in two places. Well, what the fuck are eggs? Future meat, that's what. If you have qualms about eating meat but not about eating eggs, your views are inconsistent and dumb. |
well, I eat meat, so in a sense im playing devil's advocate, but your arguments have a couple flaws.. one, the top triangle is egg all inclusive as its not as healthy because of the yolk which is high in cholesterol and secondly, its not stupid logic to eat eggs and not meat, unless you eat fertilized eggs. Thats like calling a porn star a cannibal.
I love meat, and have plenty of reasons why I eat it (mainly because it tastes good and I'm too lazy to plan a vegetarian diet that is fully balanced) but to say that one can't lead a long and healthy life as a vegetarian is silly.
EDIT: also your argument against protein is basically saying that you fart and it tastes gross. Well, that goes back to my people ultimately eat meat because it tastes good theory. Peanuts are only one source of protein so if you're allergic, eat soy.

I have no scientific reasons to back up why I eat meat, only the fact that steak is delicious.

I'm not up on all the latest scientific research, but as I understand it the jury is still out on whether or not eggs are really 'bad" for you. I've read studies indicating that the cholesterol in eggs is mostly High-Density Lipids, which are the good kind, and therefore don't adversely affect a person's cholesterol levels. Not to mention the majority of the vitamins and most of the protein is contained in the yolk.
But to be fair, I do most of my "research" on eggs on various athletic training boards, where people generally tend to be pro-egg.

Eggs also happen to be fucking delicious, which is why I support eating them.

I agree, in fact I'm leaving all my money to the Egg Advisory Council when I pass away, they've unfairly been getting a bad rap lately.

Agreed. Like potatoes, there is no bad way to cook an egg. No matter how you serve it, they are awesome.

Potatoes are flavorless and disgusting, and must be drowned in sour cream or bleu cheese in order for them to even remotely be construed as food.
Eggs are pretty awesome though.

HEATHEN! Potatoes are the most awesome thing EVER.
Seriously though, there's no bad way to prepare them, but it CAN be very easy to cook them badly, and end up with either a) something as hard as a rock that tastes about as appetizing, or b) an overcooked, tasteless soupy mess. If this has been your experience, I extend an invitation to my place the next time you're in SoCal so you can try potatoes as they should be done.
If you have had good potatoes and just don't like them though, we have nothing in common and your presence will not be required within a one mile radius of my house.

Potatoes are delicious almost every way you can prepare them, while eggs are marginal at best to me.

I like potatoes, but I like rice better.
Also, I hate having potatoes AND corn for dinner. That's two fucking carbohydrates, as much as people call corn a vegetable, it's closer to a potato than a green bean or tomato in terms of nutrition.

Potatoes are great, but need to be prepared. Ways potatoes are acceptable:
Potato chips
French Fries
Scalloped
Au Gratin
Baked with some sort of topping like blue cheese, or sour cream
In clam chowder
As vodka

Not to mention a potato makes for an above-average makeshift weapon/projectile.
