BOF Posted November 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2015 There are degrees of processing though. Short of killing a live animal and feasting on its innards, everything you buy has gone through a process. The very least of which will have involved adding colour and/or water to it in some way or another. It doesn't have to be sandwich ham or a sausage.I'd just like to clarify that I haven't stopped eating meat off the back of the WHO's announceement because unlike many, I understand how their ridiculous ranking system works, and how they've caused so much unnecessary confusion that they're now trying to undo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 On balance, I've decided to keep eating sausage, but to try and avoid binge doses of plutonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko#4 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 People who use their mobile phone in the quiet zone on the train, despite their being signs on every window and door, and announcements from the driver. They always seem to have the worlds loudest, crappiest ringtones as well........knob jockeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 On a related note, the demonisation of sugar really grinds my gears. There is nothing inherently harmful about sugar. It's certainly not the poison it's being made out to be by some "experts". Just like everything else, it's the amounts that count. Jamie Oliver is a **** moron. Superfoods my arse.

tonyh29 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sugar isn't harmful in it's own way (as such) ..it's when they combine it with other foods that the problems start the TV show I watched they feed rats nothing but cream for 3 weeks in unlimited quantities ... the cream being rather bland the rats ate what they needed to survive and nothing morethen they repeated the exercise with feeding them nothing but sugar for 3 weeks .... again the rats just ate what they needed to survivethen they combined the two together .. the rats gorged on it non stop and became obese .... which was probably rather handy as the lab had some miracle weight loss pills to test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yes eating sugar and lots of meat isn't especially good for you. You should try and limit it. That's about as far as it needs to go.Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
