Beef. It's what's for dinner.

And btw, I read The Obesity Code at your recommendation a couple of months ago. I haven't implemented the fasting schedule, but I've reduced my intake of ice cream, candy, chocolate chip cookie <sniff> and other processed carbs by around 75% (which over my lifetime I've consumed in grossly excessive amounts), while maintaining the same caloric intake and exercise regimen. I've lost around 6-8 pounds, getting close to my ideal weight

That is awesome!

I am lower than I have been in at least 15 years. My weight loss has slowed substantially, but still creeping down. Having to buy a new wardrobe, which is a lot of fun.

If one were inclined to tax foods that are bad for you, one should focus on corn syrup, fructose, and other sugars. Don't touch my meat!

Hundreds of billions of dollars could be put toward health-care costs every year if a tax was applied to red and processed meat, Oxford University researchers said Wednesday.

A new study from the U.K. university said introducing a health tax on such products would offset health-care costs and prevent more than 220,000 deaths a year globally.

Nutritionists are arguing that it is a dumb idea.

However, Carrie Ruxton, a public health nutritionist and dietitian, argued that meat consumption had already seen a significant decline in the U.K., adding that red meat provided valuable nutrients to diets.

"A tax on red meat would be a retrograde step, both for overall diet quality in women and girls and for health inequalities," she said in a statement emailed to CNBC.


"There is no high-quality evidence linking red and processed meat with heart disease, stroke or diabetes, and a risk of bowel cancer only applies when weekly intakes exceed 700g. As few people in the U.K. are at this level of consumption, a general meat tax would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."

I read elsewhere that the main author of the study/proposal is a vegan.

Exactly how I do my toast!

You sear your toast? Respect.

[falafel]

ftr, my butter approach is to put a fat slice of high quality butter on it immediately after searing while it rests. softens the crust a little, but the tradeoff is worth it in my humble opinion.

Prefer bison.

Not me. Butter spreads much more easily and tastes better on toast.

Stop apologizing for butter.

No one should be apologizing for butter. No one.

[old_gregg]

You are right.

All you butter haters can suck it.

bro if you call me a butter hater again we’re gonna have issues

Thanks! Does it get hotter than a stovetop? Or is the appeal just that you can take it outside to avoid the smoke in the house? In my younger years, that alone would have made it worth it. But at this point, enduring a couple minutes of getting yelled at is nbd.
