Comment on What metrics are deoderant companies using to calculate their "72hr protection" numbers?

makes sense.
I’ve switched between a lot of different diets, and anecdotally meat, alcohol, and sugar play a huge role in how bad i and my byproducts smell.

Just might be my first time reading that phrase

I had to think it up a little earlier since I was talking about this an hour before I saw this post or so with someone else and didn’t want to keep repeating less polite terms.
It’s upsetting in its own way though, isn’t it?

Alcohol was my big one, especially as I get older. Quality of meat makes a big difference too, I found there’s a huge contrast between fast food burgers and quality steak in terms of red meat.

i hear you, fast food meat doesn’t even taste like meat to me at this point, it’s so clearly the lowest common denominator of protein.
I’ve eaten rat, snake, crocodile, everything i can try, but the most recent time i can remember my stomach feeling rough after eating was the last time I ate McDonald’s years ago on a whim; I felt greasy, logy and nauseous almost immediately after eating it.
like I was poisoned or something.

Indeed. I haven’t had a McDonald’s burger in probably 15 years, last I had one was the same deal. I’ll eat Carl’s Jr in a pinch, but that’s about it, and even then I feel pretty crappy afterwards.
