sprouts have feeling MAAAAAN
They also have a lot of protein... stem cell type proteins. they are interesting little things but Americans like their beef... even though it is absurd at the amount of resources it takes to raise cattle, but each to his own and that is another topic.
hell, if I get desperate enough I'll just eat some dandelion greens.
food isn't one of my problems. I can hardly stomach the food I do have.
my problem is people... people are freaking crazy!
I'm going to use that (communist apartment)
Haha it just works, no pun intended obviously..
So why the frack are so many resources being used up to feed cattle? It doesn't need to be that way. There is much grass to be had, by the cattle and sheep (us)
toot
that's just the statistics... they don't feed cattle grass and if they did they would eat ALOT of it. they feed them corn. mostly... i mean some get fed grasses but it's mostly corn. So basically they grow whole crops to feed the cows when the land to grow the corn could be used for something else since we already grow a lot of corn.. and there is the environmental effects that it has as well. maybe i will dig up some article on it but I have read some on it and it is environmentally and economically unsound to make beef our number one food choice... and the majority of the time that is what people reach for first... the hamburger, the steak, the meatballs, the beef tacos.
there's actually better proteins in sprouts when you take a handful of seeds and sprout them... and they are not c reactive proteins, they are good proteins. everyone thinks the meat is where the good proteins are but this is actually not the case.
but yeah, i'm a piscatarian ( mostly avoid meat but I eat fish) and eating sprouts is hard for me even. i mean they don't taste bad but it is hard to get used to eating a bunch of sprouts. they kind of make you crave more indulgent things if you can't discipline yourself enough to adjust. You try eating sprouts primarily and you will wind up grabbing for sweets or oils or something heavier. it's just hard to get used to. plus, eat the wrong sprouts and weird things might start happening... like eat red clover sprouts which is REALLY good for you but then you start sweating like crazy a half an hour after eating them. it's weird. some sprouts just have some intense properties to them.edit on 19-5-2012 by NotAnAspie because: (no reason given)

Most of the stories you hear are b.s. I have never driven in the big mountains. Don't even know where they are.. Rockies I guess? I was in the Midwest as well as north and south based out of Detroit. My first run through PA was the worst but after that it was a piece of cake.
Just stay away from Colorado I think! Never been that far west so I am unsure what that is like. They say Tennessee is bad but I have done that run hundreds of times with no issues at all!

Yea man, they would rather burn corn than use it productively or feed it to livestock, Meanwhile corn feed is linked to the higher fat content in beef. But everyone is so fit and skinny
My point being: wouldn't it be rational to have cattle graze on grass? wtf up=down
At this time we should be securing our produce, not wasting it.
btw I thought you were joking about the sprouts. What do they taste like anyways?

I only mention this because you accused me of trolling when clearly you have dominated most of this thread with useless banter.

Normal protests in the street. Okay... That whole thing Egypt just went thru was not normal. I know you say there is now more opportunity and of that I am glad. But the recent elections, have they been honored? Did the people of Egypt elect the ones they wanted? Are they in power? I heard not. I heard that there is still poverty and unemployment on a grand scale. This makes any improvement you speak of sound like a bone thrown to a starving dog. Just wondering...

See, here in America we commend the revolution like in Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain, etc. This is Arab Spring , right? People yearning to be free? In America we hardly lift a finger with our small Occupy Wall Street. Many people have yet to rise and protest our Government and Corporate Military Monopoly. We are too afraid. And not hungry enough, yet.

But Egyptians risked life and limb, risked all to overthrow Mubarak (puppet of the west) and we are in awe of your strength to do that. Now you say that you have won... I guess that depends on where you live in the country and where you are from. So, our media is lying to us maybe to throw us off?
