That just begs the question.

Yes, but have you not considered that a stitch in time saves nine? smDh

Quinoa and white rice are very different, starch-wise. Not all starches are the same. Sweet potatoes have more nutrients than white.

Yes, but—and there’s a big, white but here—that only works if you adopt a traditional Asian diet, and eschew western habits like sugary sodas, huge hunks of fatty meat, etc. Plus being sedentary, of course. When you add those factors, even Asians start having problems. Or put another way, if your diet is super…

Yes, I take the Seinfeldian line: you know the last good year of your old man’s life because he is still wearing clothes from that year. Old dudes should probably make a habit of this.

I think I generally agree with you that people shouldn’t go too far in the direction of depriving yourself. But 20 years ago no one in the US was eating quinoa, and now it’s quite trendy. It also tastes good—to my palate, better than brown rice.

That’s fair. That said, when you say “rice” to most Americans they tend to think along Uncle Ben’s lines. In which case, quinoa for the win, sez I.

Also, white potatoes v. sweet:

Thanks for that—but most people don’t eat brown rice, they eat white. “One cup of cooked quinoa has about 40 fewer calories than the same amount of white rice, but the real benefit is in the carbohydrates. White rice has almost 15 times more grams of carbohydrates, and quinoa provides 5 more grams of fiber and…

Why do people feel the need, in debunking a “myth,” to try and twist the facts to be 180 degrees from said myth? That isn’t always…

She sounds like a truly awful human being, if this is true. I hope she goes to jail.

He did not ask this, and he was not polite about what he was asking. At all.

People should only be offended by certain things, and not others.

Die.

No sane person wants to be your ally, and there is no rule (except for not capitalizing random stupid shit).

A WHITE woman died, you ignorant fuckstick. Also, people carrying Nazi flags may hate more than just black people, you choad.

Which black women were you thinking of? I’m not saying there weren’t any, just drawing a blank.

If she was smart, she takes the two weeks off—but not right away. She strategically allows work to start piling up for a few weeks to a month, and THEN leaves just as the shit starts hitting the fan and deadlines are looming.

I think he means smart people.
