I never claimed it wasn’t a source of protein for poor families, that’s not what my first message was about and you really don’t have to keep pointing that out. I only said it wasn’t nearly as healthy as many people, at least in the US, choose to believe.

Again, I understand that it’s cheap. It doesn’t change the fact that the protein to calorie ratio of peanut butter just isn’t that great. I also said that it’s too much of it that’s bad, and sadly the idea that it’s healthy is making people eat way too much of it. Because it’s easy quite a bit more often than because…

It’s really not as great as some people think. It’s high in fat and the amount of protein is actually pretty low compared to the total calories. Just eat a piece of fruit with some regular nuts, like cachew or macademea, instead of spreading peanut butter on it.

Haha, the ocean does a pretty good job filtering itself, I’m not too worried :p

Agree with that, they could have just put it on a nice pedestal. Maybe they wanted to make sure you knew how big it was by putting it on a hand?

I’m only 24 and I would take good wine and a book over stranger sex anyday. :-/

I just have to know, how did you get into that job? Did you study photography and got an offer or did you just gradually flow into it? I’m always interrested to see how people get very specific jobs (because I want one too!).

I see this comment a lot here, they are actually just selling the stone and you can do whatever you like with it after. That’s why the placeholder ring you see is so plain, it’s not the final product.

There are quite a bit of contradictions in the articles about this, I don’t think anybody will have an actual answer to that question. From what I can see it’s possible that she was clothed on the backseat, taken out of the car and undressed or she might have been naked already, flung from the car and photographed…

I suppose so. Insects are also generally imagined in places that are dirty or rotten, unclean, people don’t feel that way about seafood.

That’s the way they are consumed yes, they could potentially take the legs off but most of the crunchy bits will always be there and with stuff like maggots you can’t eat them any other way. An insect is different on the inside than a shrimp.

Do you eat a shrimp whole? Legs, head and organs still present? If not, it’s a false comparison.

We have plenty of scientists working on the current environemental problems we have though, some just prefer to work in other fields like space exploration. Science isn't going to fix wars and cultural differences of course, but I don't think those problems should stop space exploration in any way, they are pretty…

"We have no business out there". Oh ok, pack it up guys, we shouldn't go there yet.

It’s depressing how I see many people not understanding that we are still busy evolving as a species and don’t need some major cataclysmic event to put us back on track.

Haha, ok fair enough. At least you still get a beer out of this one!

I know what it is and I also know that there is no evidence of it working in any way as of today. That’s why I’m confused it being in drinks is popular. There have been some preclinical studies done but nothing conclusive, the general consensus is still that collagen is a type of protein which when ingested, is broken…

I never heard of those before, it makes so little sense. Collagen gets treated like a protein when ingested and is just broken down, it will not benefit your skin in any way :-/

It’s very possible to have great looking skin even if you have some unlucky genetics going on, you just need to work a bit harder for it and find the right products to use.

Wait, wouldn’t you need to spread this all over your face for it to work? Wouldn’t the alcohol just dry out your skin more than the collagen would help it? Or do people think just drinking the stuff will help? This is confusing.
