Paleo and every other ridiculous fad!

[Comic Book Guy]

It's all just marketing. People put labels on things so that they can sell them, because they sound new and different. And because a lot of us are fat and unhappy, we buy right into it.

Bingo!!!!!

...I am currently sponsoring three marmosets through their post-graduate degrees in socialist studies.

This better be in Feminist Studies or it doesn't count.

New diet just out called 27.5. Very similar to the original 26.0 diet but different enough from the very popular 29er diet everyone was on recently. If you aren't on the 27.5 diet then you are a loser and I don't understand you.

LOL.

Another classic RB thread. Thank you gentlemen.

CBG.

So you're saying that the high amount of chemicals that are used in today's food, packaging, washing products, clothing et has causes no more cancer than what was around before we started using them? I think you will find research does not agree with you Moorey.
I'm no veggie or on any special diet but I do try to cut down on foods that use pesticides or are highly processed as it doesn't take a genius to realise that these can't be good for us or our kids.

Straw man, Wtf?
My point was that cancer et al have always been a thing, yeah, it's almost certainly exacerbated by modern lifestyles (the flip side is that most of us will live to 80, rather than 30, due to advancements in healthcare)
Maybe pharma was joking like he claims, many aren't when they make silly similar claims. 'Noone died of cancer 100 years ago, they all died of old age/natural causes, must be the gummint!'
zero fucks given about what consenting adults do to their bodies, I just wish they would stop clogging up the health system. I am, however, outraged, as I recently was, when I watched a mum let her <12 month demolish almost a whole 600ml bottle of coke.

I give zero fucks what you all eat. I give <zero fucks about what people think of my choices and the justification to do so

Who the fu©£ cares what diet the other person is on?

id rather have a mate on some paleo diet than one who was an intolerant dick. (and that comment is not directed at you Moorey, more the Op.)

How many fads do mountain bikers get caught up in? So, some people are into eating healthy like you are into mountain biking and they want to try something new. Again, who cares.?

People do care, which is what I find so interesting. Have a look at any of Durianrider's rants on his YouTube channel and there is so much hate for another persons point of view and/or decision on how they want to live their lives. Got to wonder what the affect of being so negative has on your body systems and cancer.
I have a mate who is very structured and ordered and loves the Paleo diet because it makes him feel at ease, appeals to his own way of thinking and he loves the whole Crossfit movement.

I really like the Primal 'diet' and exercise way of things because I am more of a 50/50 kind of person and it appeals to the way I think and my knowledge to date. The 5:2 thing has also worked for me in the past but doesn't at the moment.

I have no double blind, peer reviewed and published paper on this but I would guess that people who follow these ways of eating are trying to better their life, take control, feel empowered or wish to be part of a group or movement and probably some other things that have zero to do with trying to make others do what they are doing.

I know Moorey hates 29ers, SRAM and remote dropper posts. Loves riding, taking the piss and being opinionated but I never knew he was a vegan... FWIW

I see your 600ml coke and raise you a 750ml energy drink a 12y.o school student had that I confiscated (as per school rules) and was subsequently verbally abused by twelveys mother because "I gave her the fucking money for her to buy that for breakfast". That is something to get shitty about. You not eating sausage should be celebrated!

Fair enough. I get your point now.

 

[moorey]

I know Moorey hates 29ers

Because I'm 3'7". Stunted from calcium and protein deficiency

SRAM

Au contraire. Love their DM cranks, forks (if you count RS) and 9sp drivetrain

remote dropper posts

guilty as charged

Loves riding

its ok

taking the piss and being opinionated

Yeah, nah, you're thinking of someone else :noidea:

but I never knew he was a vegan... FWIW

I can't recall mentioning it outright, tbh, it's something that others like to bring up regularly :llama:

 

[moorey]

Did you miss the age of said coke swiller?
I'm claiming the win...

That's because Durian rider is a judgemental egostsitical mentally deficient waste of oxygen.


If you listen to ANYTHING that lunatic has to say you need your head read.



To those reading along, if you are unfamiliar with DurianRiders "work", please don't search for it, any views of his stuff only encourages him.

It can all be basically be summarised as "Look at me, I'm a Vegan, I'm really hot and an excellent athlete, look at me, if you disagree with me you're an idiot, look at my girlfriend, she's really hot, I eat lots of bananas, look at me, if you're not a Vegan you're a brainwashed moron, I'm excellent."

And I am not exaggerating.

 

[The Duckmeister]

And when questioned to back up his claims of athletic prowess, he gets even more egotistical & attacking in an attempt to stave off the revelation of the true extent of his bullshit.

I'll take my 500gm t-bone steak cooked to medium-well with a delicious pepper sauce, baked potatoes covered in cheese, rosemary and butter, and a decent serving of broccoli, cauliflower, beans, and corn, battered in pepper and butter. I'll also have a nice apple cider or a good lager.

And for breakfast I'll have baked beans, mixed with cheese, pepper, ham, salami and roast chicken, all microwaved and put on toast.

I enjoy every second of it, am 5'11", weighing 75kgs. Idgaf what you eat either, as long as you don't force it on me, I won't force it on you.

PS. Antelope is delicious when BBQd.

Going for breakfast at the local cafe` tomorrow. There's a few nice ones around but we've decided to go for a more modest wholesome option. I'll be going the t-bone served with fried tomato, eggs and chips.

It's ridiculous that people get angry because others want to try an alternative diet in the quest for being more healthy. I'm not going to say if diet A is healthier than diet B but the people to be angry at are the ones doing nothing about their health and infact making it worse. Smokers, people who eat crap all the time, alcoholics etc etc are filling up hospitals and pushing up health care premiums but the OP leaves them alone?

Oh man, steak, eggs and chips for breakfast is amazing. Now I want some...

Paleo is just another way of those cross fit elitist ass monkeys to be better than everyone else.

I bet it doesnt even fit their macro's.

Haha, 100%. The amount of Crossfitters I see preaching about Paleo, while they're sucking down a protein/amino/sugar/caffine pre/post work out drink.... :spider:

I disagree, I find him entertaining. Some highlights have been when he has added raw sugar to his smoothy whilst ranting about processed food and another time creating a link to Robin Williams' suicide to him not "carbing the fuck up" and eating fish but claiming he was a vegan.
