Loved that episode of Tosh.0 where he filmed the audience's reaction to that video. It's... just.... so.... wrong.....

I ate extremely clean (not meat-free) for several months and broke down one day and ate a burger and fries. I remember feeling terrible from it for a couple hours.

 

[mightynintendo]

yeah... it's weird that it doesn't seem to work the other way. like you can go from a meat-heavy diet to total vegan and probably feel just fine (if not maybe a bit hungry for a week or so until you get used to eating less calories).

 

[TheMan]

Have you ever tried giving up carbonated beverages for a while? I did once. Came back to them after about 2 months and the first few were brutal. Felt like someone inflated a balloon in my chest for an hour or so.

 

[mightynintendo]

no because giving up carbonated beverages would mean i would have to give up beer. something i am 100% against.

that's not true. i spent days on the toilet when SWMBO moved in, and i went from a "if i can't cook and consume it in under 2 minutes, i'm not interested" to a well-balanced diet.

and i know why cows swallow stones and have six stomachs.

 

[mightynintendo]

Really? I suppose that's possible. It never happened to me but maybe my diet was more balanced to begin with.

 

[PoorBoy]

mine was all hot dogs and beer. literally. unless i was going out. you don't need to chew a hot dog much. you need to chew grass much, much longer, or it comes out still grass...plant cell walls are very difficult for our acids to break down.

 

[mightynintendo]

Haha, you really shouldn't be eating grass. I would say that's probably unfit for human consumption.

This topic is getting way off topic...

Screw 5 Guys, In N Out for life!

Yeah, Five Guys is just okay.

We have an amazing burger place right by the Marquette U campus. It's a bit of a drive from the office, but it's a great once-in-a-while Friday treat for lunch.

Then a Five Guys moved in a couple blocks from the office and I thought I would just go there for lunch because I heard the burgers were really good. But it's nothing compared to the other place. I don't think it's bad, just nowhere near as good as the local Milwaukee place.

Totally sympathize with that one. I went on a very calorie restrictive diet and dropped down to 174 lbs. by eating a lot of vegan meals. When I first started doing it, holy god I spilled more gas than the exxon valdez. My system was woefully unprepared for a high veggie diet.

As to five guys, they're expensive. I cook better burgers at home. I do like their fries though.

Congratulations, you just convinced me to never try an vegan diet!

Add me to the list as well
