Usually we teach them from the time they are 3 years old. So basically when they are teens
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 1 week ago:
Breaking in is just how the process of fostering trust and getting the horse slowly used to a rider in many little steps is called.

Just because it’s frozen and made in a factory doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unhealthy.
Vitamin C is pretty much the only nutrient that gets degraded by freezing and storage. Usually the problem is that the nutrients weren’t in there to begin with.
Having a look at the ingredients is really worth it. Of course that is a lot more difficult in a restaurant compared to a grocery store. Thanks to regulations.

Considering that I am struggling not to loose weight, I don’t mind a lot of calories.
When I make baked potatoes at home I usually use 2 of the biggest potatoes I can find. Per person that is. Then I use Quark with 40% fat, mix in some cream, at least a teaspoon of salt, green onion and some frozen herbs.
I don’t think restaurants make it any less healthily.
Your point about using oil instead of butter is valid enough. Rapeseed oil has a lot of alpha-linolenic acid. Butter a lot of saturated fatty acids. But oil is the cheaper ingredient. Butter is important to archive the traditional tase. If restaurants use butter I won’t hold it against them.
For dishes where you can choose your own carb-rich sides I would appreciate some whole-grain options though. For example cooked spelt. It pairs wonderfully with many traditional German dishes. Far-eastern and Indian restaurants could offer whole grain rice.
White grain is the worst offender when in comes to empty calories. Saturated fats at least still fill you up as much as unsaturated fats. You need twice as much white grain to feel as full as you would with whole grain. And you’ll be hungry an hour later.

I do, actually. Our local restaurant of local cuisine makes an awesome salad with game meat. It’s big enough to really fill you up.
Also, Maultaschen are hardly unhealthy
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 week ago:
Not really. Teenagers and young adults used to party a lot, and those parties used to have a lot of alcohol
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 week ago:
I actually rather like the taste. Although it’s certainly an acquired taste. Like salminak

It really depends on the restaurant. Eating Chick-fil-A every day certainly isn’t healthy. But there are plenty of proper restaurants that are.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 week ago:
That would be a reason for more alcohol
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 1 week ago:
Because alcohol is bad for you?
Our parents were still told that a glass of wine a day was healthy.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 1 week ago:
It’s just UHT. UHT dairy is very much legal in the US. And does not have to be refrigerated. It often is, because unrefrigerated milk make US consumers uneasy. But it doesn’t have to be.
I am aware that it’s less common than it is in Europe. But it’s not an unreasonable question.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 1 week ago:
“Do you guys have any sour cream that isn’t refrigerated?”
How is that a stupid question?

More commonly it’s addiction that causes poverty. Drugs are expensive. And an addiction doesn’t make it easier to keep a job.

The tips about opioids and stimulants are also valid if you want to reduce harm while doing those kinds of drugs.
There’s a reason rich people prefer them.

It’s important to take the right drugs, if you want to get rich.
- For example you should take marijuana edible and vapes. Don’t smoke the dried flowers directly.
- You should take prescription painkillers. Avoid heroin and black market fentanyl.
- Do not take Methamphetamine. Try cocaine instead.
- Hallucinogens should help across the board

Doesn’t the US even allow nurses to inject potent neurotoxins, as long as there is a doctor on the books that could theoretically be called?

Are fats part of eating real foods?
Yes. Healthy fats are a natural part of real foods such as meat, seafood, dairy, nuts, olives, and avocados. These fats support brain health, hormone function, and nutrient absorption when consumed in their natural forms.
They are really pretending meat has healthy fat, lol?
If they had simply left out that single word, their advice on fats would have been pretty good.

He was already promoting anti-vacs conspiracy theories in 2004. The tapeworm was removed in 2010. I doubt he had it for that long

The new food pyramid is just as influenced by lobbyist as the previous one. Only this time it’s the life stock industry.
Plus anti-woke MAGA wants to distance itself from vegans as much as possible.
But also, lean, fresh meat isn’t that bad. It does have a lot of protein, with really balanced amino-acids. You don’t have to carefully combine grains and legumes, in order to not miss out on essential nutrients.
Meat also has a lot of bioavailable iron and vitamin B12. Both are important and usually insufficient in a vegan diet.
If you count fish as meat, it also has bioavailable Omega-3. Especially fatty ocean-fishes like salmon. If you don’t eat fish, you either have to eat microalgae-oil or severely reduce your omega-6 consumption (no chips for you. They are fried in sunflower oil).
In contrast to fresh meat, most processed meats are really bad:
- Cured meat has sodium nitrate. That’s a known carcinogen.
- Smoked meat has smoke particles. That’s another known carcinogen.
- Charred meat has charring. Another carcinogen.
And you also shouldn’t eat a lot of fat from land animals. It has a lot of saturated fats which, you guessed it, cause cancer.

To me that sounds even worse.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. But how is that relevant?
Either the Democrats win the general election, then it’s irrelevant who the Republican candidate is, or they lose. Then the moderate Republican would be much better than the maga extremist.
I guess there could be some concerns about a moderate Republican swaying more independent voters?
