They are also the only food that "tastes like chicken", specifically the second joint section of a wing.
Nah - your diet is probably light years better than mine. I mean, I'm having the healthiest food I've had in a week now - I'm boiling great northern beans. (And to make you feel even _better_, I managed to boil it over due to a customer calling, and just had to clean up half the pot of water that ended up on the stove. So it's obvious I shouldn't cook.) I'm more poking fun at those that keep talking about the 'paleolithic diet' (see my post above about diet fads), when what they're eating wouldn't have been available to paleolithic man.
Really? Never had them, so I wouldn't know. What about alligator or snake? I've been told that the consistency is roughly the same as chicken as well.
I love beans. Red, pinto, black, white, Anisazi, all of them. Eat some at least 5 days per week. My diet is so straight, the last time I went to a fast food joint it caused a near existential crisis.
Tried all that. Frog legs, no kidding, tastes just like the middle of a chicken wing. Alligator is "similar" to farmed chicken thighs, but frog is a dead ringer for wings.
I'd love to do that. Unfortunately, I'm in IT, and self-employed, and that means "eat on the move". What I want is a restaurant that's reasonably quick and serves _things other than onion and lettuce_. Beans, turnips, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsnips, radishes, kale, beans sprouts, water chestnuts, bamboo - all those things that normal restaurants refuse to serve. And if they do have them (Luby's, for example), everything is cooked with onion. (Onion and cabbage. The two foods that humans can't digest well, but that keep being eaten)
It just takes planning. Commit to it and you can make it happen. Just eating real, simply prepared, wholesome food will change anyone for the better.
I was just reading about that yesterday. Apparently (from someone whose academic career is around studying beans), if you eat them -regularly-, your body adapts to the sugars to a certain extent, and flatulence reduces. So @Bama Samurai probably doesn't fart from the fiber and sugars as much as, say, me.
My planning doesn't enter into it, unfortunately. My _customers_ make their plans, and then force me into it, way too often. I'm trying to find some ways to deal with that, however.
After eating natural foods, that's correct. One's gut flora normalizes and the body adapts. Upset stomach of any sort is rare for me now, and I consider it indicates that I am having an issue.
By planning I mean that you have to have food cooked and available when ready to eat. My life is also on the move and chaotic.
From the article - our gut flora just isn't built for it. They can adapt, but only to a certain point. Onion is what causes excessive gas - and it's not due to gut flora. My father has the same problem, and has a much better diet than I do. It's just an inability to digest it. (Onion, bell peppers, celery to an extent, leeks, shallots, scallions, chives... everything but garlic) As for the having the food ready - that's not always easy, or wise. I don't even want to think of what would lurk in my food after being stuck in a Houston car for 6 hours in the summer sun
