And I think SM Intern can choose for him/herself who to delete or ban. What I said was just saying what you’re saying; I was just being direct about it while you’re basically cloaking at as ‘high class’ manners and ‘cultre.’ Learn to spell or proof-read, by the way. <– Consider that my expletive.

Um, didn’t you say this below, oh Priyamvada, soft-spoken one?…

I was saying that this is the problem with desis as I see it in my family, that they’re not happy when I want to eat meat on a low-carb high-fat high-PROTEIN diet because they think it’s unclean and weird. Which is the same thing you’re doing. Either face the facts or fuck off.

And what is up with the beauty of all the expletives?

Conclusion: you’re a fucking tard, Pardesi Gori.

And you, oh Priyamvada, are extremely low class.

Isn’t there a rule on SM about using expletives? Get this bitter, frustrated female deleted before she explodes/implodes!

And throw her some meat! She obviously needs it to calm down.

That is so, so wrong. An adult female should be eating at least 50 grams of protein a day, and when I track what I eat, it’s a struggle to meet that minimum without eating dairy and other animal products. Try tracking your food intake and its nutritional content on a site like sparkpeople.com to see this. And yes the American diet is very heavy, but it’s heavy in carbohydrates. Hence why Americans have been getting fatter over the last few decades, thanks to larger and larger portions of starchy and sugary products like french fries and coke, while cutting back on fat and protein by opting for lowfat or nonfat milk and not eating egg yolks.

Have you ever considered the possibility that your family members are ethical vegetarians? That means they do not eat meat on the principle of ahimsa to animals? Ethical vegetarians usually would not permit the cooking of animals in their homes – whether Indian or not. Its a principle that is lived by. Surely with GHEE and butter and milk and yogurt (staples of desi diet) you would be able to get the fat and protein you need? Though I would suggest cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil, hemp oil, avacado oil or flax oil over ghee any day. They contain the “good fats”. Also can you get avacados anywhere near your family’s home? They are an excellent source of healthy fat as are nuts. You may have changed your eating habits from the ones you grew up with, but that does not mean that your family, if they are ethical vegetarians, have to change their vegetarians household and allow something to take place within it that they find reprehensible, does it? You can always eat out at restaurants when you stay with them.

My family members are not vegetarians (and I know what that means, thank you very much for your definition), except for my mother, who has no problem cooking meat in the house or with other people eating meat in the house. And butter, milk, yogurt, etc., contain are smaller protein:carbs ratio than meat does. It’s not that my family doesn’t want me to eat meat in the house, it’s that they simply don’t believe that doing so helps me lose weight and feel more energetic throughout the day. But the evidence is there, especially in my own weight, when I come home and the staples are idli, dosa, rice, and chapatis.

Seriously, though, I was just talking about my family and you butted in and got all high-and-mighty while being simply incorrect about ‘meat is unclean’ blah blah blah. Conclusion: you’re a fucking tard, Pardesi Gori.

Looking for the video that breaks it all down now. Was just watching a few days ago……..

I’ve heard that before yes. I’m just inquiring as to the mechanism by which this happens because intuitively it doesn’t seem quite right.

(Yoga Fire, some nutrients are lost whenever you cook food)

This is probably really ignorant, but how does cooking spinach in a pot bereave it of nutrients? If you don’t drain anything they’re not going anywhere. Everything is still in the pot no?

The whole process of digestion breaks proteins down into their constituent amino-acids so that they can be recombined as needed. So what exactly do you lose when you denature them by cooking?

So is eating meat. Seriously, sod off with your judgmental vegetarianism. Meat is not the ‘end-all.’ I wasn’t saying that anyway; I was saying that this is the problem with desis as I see it in my family, that they’re not happy when I want to eat meat on a low-carb high-fat high-PROTEIN diet because they think it’s unclean and weird. Which is the same thing you’re doing. Either face the facts or fuck off.

In terms of protein one probably doesn’t need to eat meat more than a couple of times a month to be honest. The typical American diet is way heavier than can be justified on nutritional grounds. On the grounds of tastiness is another story.

Um, I’m not telling my family to do anything. I’m trying to convince them to let me eat the way that’s healthier for me when I’m at home. I lose weight when I’m at school and feel more energetic, but gain weight and feel more slothlike when I’m at home, and there’s a reason for that, but they can’t seem to let go of this ‘low-fat’ mantra. I’m trying to debunk these myths for them. Yes, eating vegetables, legumes, nuts, etc. is healthy. So is eating meat. Seriously, sod off with your judgmental vegetarianism.
