    For goodness sake, please change the title to


    EATING UNHEALTHIER UPF !!!


    And what is this bioengineered food ingredient you are eating?


    How do you tell whether the food is unhealthy?


    1. If you can't memorize the ingredient list in 5 seconds

    2. If you can't make it at home due to lack of ingredient

    3. If you can't make it at home because you don't have
    a high-temperature furnace, industrial-grade presser,
    or safe compartment to store toxic flammable chemicals/additives

    4. If the food can last for months/years

    That's an exceptionally good list... which eliminates over 90% of the boxed items found in a regular grocery store.

    How does eating meat increase the odds of an individual ending up with type 2 diabetes?

    Eating meat, particularly red and processed meats, has been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Here are some key reasons why:
    1. Saturated Fats: Red and processed meats are high in saturated fats, which can lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a condition where the body’s cells don’t respond well to insulin, making it harder to regulate blood sugar levels.
    2. Inflammation: Consuming large amounts of red and processed meats can cause inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
    3. Nutrient Imbalance: Diets high in meat often lack other essential nutrients found in plant-based foods, such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A lack of these nutrients can negatively impact blood sugar control.
    4. Processed Meat Additives: Processed meats contain additives like nitrates and nitrites, which have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes. These additives can interfere with insulin production and function.
    5. Caloric Density: Meat is calorie-dense, and consuming high-calorie foods can lead to weight gain. Obesity is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
    Reducing the intake of red and processed meats and incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet can help lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

    Why are cold potatoes better for you than hot potatoes?

    Cold potatoes have some unique health benefits compared to hot potatoes due to the formation of resistant starch when they cool down after cooking. Here are a few reasons why cold potatoes might be better for you:
    1. Improved Gut Health: Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your gut. This can help improve digestion and overall gut health.
    2. Lower Glycemic Index: Cold potatoes have a lower glycemic index compared to hot potatoes. This means they cause a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for managing blood sugar levels.
    3. Increased Satiety: Resistant starch can make you feel fuller for longer, which might help with weight management by reducing overall calorie intake.
    4. Potential Health Benefits: The short-chain fatty acids produced when resistant starch is fermented in the gut can help reduce inflammation and may lower the risk of colon cancer.

    Bullshit. I found your cache of MREs in the bunker under the city hall of Magna, UT. Think the lowest bidder to the government, which is ConAgra. OMG they are the world's worst.

    I will cook you a Kraft Mac n' Cheese dinner you will never forget. Flavorful, tasty, and chock-full of many nutrients and vitamins you would need in your zombie bunker.

    That cache you found must be someone elses, cuz I've eaten MREs and I can assure you that I would never stockpile them. NEVER. And forget the orange dyed Kraft sorry excuse for Mac n' Cheese, the best one out there is the 4-cheese frozen Trader Joe's variation. Quite tasty, but not suited for my ketovore diet.

  10. Regarding potatoes, I prefer no frills. I just microwave them until they're soft and then refrigerate them. Then I either eat them as is, or break them up and add them to meals. And, no, I haven't yet received any culinary awards.
