whoops, posted too soon

if the guardian is to be believed,

>Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions.

this isn't actually inherently healthy. sure, avoiding most of these is a good thing, but not consuming sugars or salts of any kind is lethal. as far as gluten goes, I'm pretty sure that there aren't any negative effects affiliated with it unless you have an actual problem (allergies, etc.) and so avoiding that is in line with a mental disorder as well.

Avoiding things like caffeine, alcohol, or dairy should not be considered a problem in any way.

>Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.

criticizing this is retarded

>Those most susceptible are middle-class, well-educated people who read about food scares in the papers, research them on the internet, and have the time and money to source what they believe to be purer alternatives.

this seems to imply, at least to me, that it's not the people doing research and thoughtfully determining what they want to put into their bodies, and that what they actually mean are the people who follow every dietary trend and avoid things because their girlfriends tell them that they heard they were bad.

these people would have actual dietary issues, as they really aren't eating healthy.

> itt people who don't live with bee hives

I live with several bee hives on a large organic farm and they are far from tortured, while bee populations are declining around the world, the bees that live here are thriving and expanding. They can choose to live anywhere on the property, we don't make them live in the hives. We don't even take their honey very often, just enough to keep the hives from overflowing since they can't easily expand the walls.

Furthermore, if you are really saying vegans can't harm insects then you had better outline all the other things you're doing to avoid hurting them. I mean, a car kills thousands, even bikes kill them regularly, even just walking will regularly squash insects.

Here's the thing. Bees produce far more honey than is actually healthy for them, they do so because over millions of years they have become accustomed to other creatures eating their honey. Humans have killed almost all of the other creatures, and now bee hives left in the wild to their own devices will literally overflow with honey.

It is true that factory style farming of honey can stress the bees, if you remove too much honey it forces them to work harder to replace the honey. However, a couple of hives can easily produce enough excess honey to feed a couple of humans without imposition.

>here let me rationalize why i can take what's not mine

Oh wow look at that! someone else has heard about the banana babe. cool.

I think that everyone is unique and some things just work better for different people.

sometimes my body's needs change.

I might do a big vegetable day/week and then just do huge amounts of fruit only for a while and switch back. sometimes I will just do a few days of raw vegetables as well.

Usually if I'm going to eat any kind of carbs, I eat unprocessed highly complex carbs like beans and dates.

I always avoid:

>white flour

>white bread

>crackers

>white pasta

>and even some of the whiter beans/legumes as well.

>white rice

>inb4 thats racist

if I ever eat rice its wild/black/brown rice and If I ever rarely eat pasta its whole wheat brown pasta. that being said I rarely eat rice or pasta. I even try to mix it up and eat other grains like spelt, millet, and quinoa.

I focus on the majority of my food being fresh vegetables half of which I cook, raw fruits, beans, nuts, seeds. basically just plants. I end up eating 50% raw 50% cooked plant food and finish that off with an organic vegan b12 and D3 supplement from gardenoflife at wholefoods, because its literally the only ones I have ever seen selling the organic vegan versions of those vitamins.

all that being said, If I eat too much banana and fruits a few days I'm fine and switch back to vegetables being the major source of my nutrients, however if I eat alot of fruit several several days in a row I actually get really fat.

If I eat too many potatoes or high carb foods I get fat.

what's the point? obviously most vegan diets will be relatively high carb, but why force yourself to consume a certain amount of calories, like freelee suggests?

I don't know what you mean, I don't tend to do things that make me uncomfortable.

still waiting, still hoping!

I have had it, and I am pretty sure it was Japanese, and from an Asian store in the USA.

Goodluck anon. You might consider an ice cream machine, $5 out of a thrift store and you can make your own whatever you want ice cream with some other kind of "milk".

If you're making a cake, I'd recommend using Eggs

trololololloolo ;^)

>>334

truth is that meat substitutes are usually unhealthy and taste like crap, but if someone that knows what they are doing, and think it might help them get on track, maybe they could go that route for a short while and then switch quickly to just normal fruits and vegetables that haven't been processed

eh, I'm not into imitating meat. but whatever floats your boat. I try to go far from processed foods, just whole plants for me.

>>324

Understood. Sometimes you just need something firm and savory though, don't you think? Sometimes those roasted portobellos and grilled aubergine steaks just don't cut it for me.

>>329

Yea I know what you mean. I just go for beans + tempeh and baked potato. or improvise in other ways. if you roast carrots just right they have a nice snap to em and a tight exterior caramelized layer too.

That's a pretty tasty picture OP.

I made a tofu omelette recently with green peppers and gluten sausage. Totally experimental but didn't go too badly.

I added a little vegetable stock and turmeric to the tofu and mixed it up with plain flour because I knew it wouldn't become a firm omelette otherwise and would just turn into scramble. So it cooked a little like a pancake.

Very tasty though. Had it with fried bread because I'm a greasy fuck.

>>322

whoa haha. sounds crazy! wow.

I usually don't heat my fats though. but whatever, sounds like you had fun.
