My favorite Hungry Man dinner was the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. But I heated up the chicken in the toaster so that it was still crispy. I've seen Supersize Me. And I am unfazed. I know what my body can handle, and I very carefully monitor what I put in it. That said, I hate those kind of pancakes that look like they're CDs and feel like them too. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

On the Supersize me theme, I want to see a movie of this stuff. It could be titled, "I'm a Hungry Man and That's OK" with every meal coming from a Swansons box. The hard part might be finding an actor to do the script... or maybe getting insurance to cover that actors ills during the filming would be harder. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

As a vegetarian who rarely eats eggs, the article had very little impact on me. Ordinary, well-cooked meat is somewhat unappetizing but tolerable to be around, and although I suspect the odor of that stuff would be enough to turn my stomach, the appearance of the sausage, bacon and eggs don't perturb me. The nutrition facts, of course, are thoroughly dismaying. I will confess to having eating a few breakfasts of dubious nutritional merit in the past, mostly from the dorms when I inhabited them and from McDonalds. Really, breakfast in McDonald's is about the only full meal I can eat there. Three hash brown patties, some milk, cinnamon rolls...I'm salivating just thinking about it. Breakfast in the dorms was even junkier, but tastier as well: several glasses of milk, several hash brown patties or a whole plate of hash browns (enjoyed with plenty of ketchup), a few assorted danishes or cinnamon rolls, and a few slices of melon for decency's sake. Tastes heavenly, of course, but I'd rather not speak about the indigestion that follows. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

The nutrition facts on that stuff do not dismay me nearly as much as how it is made by Swanson's and thus tastes awful. :( Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

If you don't like fake meat, perhaps you should not be eating it. Nobody is asking you too. For that matter, I don't understand why fake meat is expected to taste just like real meat. I understand why it should taste good, and I do in fact like some meat-substitute products. But if you're a vegetarian who craves meat there is something wrong with your vegetarianism. —Alorael, who is a fair-weather vegetarian. Or maybe a foul-weather carnivore.

Morningstar is generally pretty good. The fake chicken is certainly worth a shot. It tastes similar to chicken, but as Alorael said, it doesn't really matter; what matters is that it tastes good and is a hell of a lot healthier than anything coming out of a Swanson factory. I tried the ribs, though, and while I don't generally like real ribs, I'd much prefer them to the fake ones. Vegetarian meat, I guess, is hit-and-miss. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

FYI: Gardenburgers aren't supposed to taste like meat at all. They're actually really good, but if you want meat, don't eat a Gardenburger. Also, if you try Boca burgers, don't be put off by the powerful odor emitted from the microwave while cooking it. It tastes better than it smells. It tastes sort of like meat, but not exactly. Don't expect it to taste like Angus beef or you will be disappointed. I also like my Boca burgers with tomato chutney. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

quote:Sigh. I was merely trolling for reaction. Thanks TM for getting it right. The graemlin at the end was to signify mild humor at the expense of athiests. While some athiests may question spiritual matters on occasion I wouldn't presume it to be most/many/the rule. I also wouldn't use it as evidence the athiest is losing his/her athiesm. Similarly, if a religious person questions their God on occasion it doesn't necessarily provide evidence that their God doesn't exist. I am sure many people live their lives in bliss without having a God need. Deists might say they have substituted other things for the hole that God would fill but that would be a discussion I am not willing to provoke.
