I sorta stagnated at this stage of development. I knew that eating healthy was a good thing and I felt great about archieving that. But I had a long way to go, I had tons of social, career and spiritual problems I was afraid of. Because they overwhelmed me so much I rather stuck to what I had success with before and chased the last 10% of health.

Do you have adhd?

Nice disclaimer. Maybe make a disclaimer for the disclaimer, that the disclaimer will be long but is important.

Yeah but its hunderds to thousands little "karmas" compared to a big one.

Partially its habit. You can also make flour or patties out of them. It could be part of the answer. Is animal ethics concerns not something universal, like the expansion of consciousness, in your opinion?

What I find so fascinating is that you cant really compare the sum of many little sentiences with one big one. You cant really compare 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ... < 830 (lets say a cow) Because all the 1s and the 830 is of a different quality alltogether and adding all the 1s together will not result in a 830, but in 830 1s if that makes sense.

You have to compare the new food pyramid to the USDA "MY PLATE" Version though, not the old Pyramid of the 70s. I feel like no Version really gets it, the 2010s version doesnt focus enough on healthy fats and the carb sources suggested are probably not the best.

Nice!

I want this to be a purely ethical discussion. Even if you are a pro meat eater you are welcome to participate in this discussion. Its not about what you should or shouldnt do, but to arrive at an answer of what would theoretically be more ethical to eat, insects or meat from farm animals. ... The main argument for eating insects over regular livestock is that insects seem to be a lot less sentient. On the other hand you need hundreds or thounsands of them to get the same calories as one livestock animal. There are different methods to kill them. The most humane one seems to be to freeze them, but there are pretty brutal ones from boiling them or roasting them alive. What has to be kept in mind is that insects are so different from humans, we likely have a lot of speciesism towards them, so that bias needs to be made conscious for a truthful discussion.

Survival goes on. Those two free trade zones are about to connect, making them less dependent on the US.

Paused here:

I once made a chocolate with a ton of coconut oil a couple of times when I was like 18 because I thought cocounut oil was a healthy oil. Maybe the only times in my life when I really felt like my heart health was in danger. That much saturated fat isnt good for you, a 18 year old shouldnt feel like he is close before a heart attack. That was my bodies signal.

Yeah fatty meat can be quite filling. Some carb sources can be as or even more filling though. Cheese and Eggs arent that filling per calorie, Steak is pretty good. There should be more studies on this: https://jarrellweightmanagementspecialists.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Satiety-Index-of-Foods.pdf

It looks like it has 7 portions of veggies and 7 portions of fruit. Thats really solid. If you added more fibre, people would complain that they need to poo 3 times a day.
