Riots not Diets!

Digital illustration of a green scale with the turn needle turned to 'whatever'. Text reads, 'riots not diets.'

In case no one told you, juice cleanses are bullshit; 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 etc day long juice “diets” are not safe or healthy, and also consuming fruits and veggies in juice form is not “better” for you than just eating them normally. if that’s the only way you can make yourself consume fruits and veggies that’s fine you don’t have to stop juicing or buying a naked juice or whatever. Let’s better to have a V8 with all that sodium than No fucking veggies. It’s fine.

Juicing simply removes the pulp/skin etc from fruits and veggies ie the fiber which you do need, and fiber also helps slow down the body’s absorption of sugars thereby reducing blood sugar spikes (whole grains also do this).

Juicing was/is just another food fad/diet trend marketed by mostly skinny white girl lifestyle/fitness gurus so some assholes can sell you a detox kit of 5 bottles of “cold-pressed” fucking lemon water for $89.

Brain Curd #298

Brain Curds are lightly edited daily writing - usually flash fiction and sometimes terrible on purpose.

Thanks for letting us be frank with you. Read the rest of The Frank Program here on Tumblr!

“Welcome back to The Frank Program. I’m your host, Daryl.”

“And I’m Big Mike.”

“Frank couldn’t make it today, since he’s currently on a scheduled rehab nature retreat.”

“What, a hike? I’ve never known the big guy to go on walks in all the years I’ve known him. Maybe he’ll be a whole new person when he comes back.”

“Yeah, I doubt it. Today’s guest is the author of Freezer Burn Abs, Mr. Wilfred Buffman. Is that your real name?”

“Yes’m, it is. Got called Wilfred by ol’ Granpappy. Ma wasn’t so interested in names, so she kept it for me.”

“Yeah, but…” Mike raised an eyebrow. “Buffman?”

“Ol’ Finnish surname, that is.”

“You’re Finnish?”

“No! Heh heh!” Buffman slapped his knee. “I’m just gettin’ started! Hoo hoo!”

Daryl didn’t chuckle in the slightest, though the corners of his lips twitched. “Charming. Mr. Buffman, would you care to explain the premise of your book?”

“Sure thing, little lady.”

“Uh…” Mike held up a finger. “He’s a dude.”

“Hm.” Buffman examined Daryl. “You reckon? That’s mighty shiny long hair for a man.”

“Daryl, I told you you should have gotten a haircut.”

Daryl glared at Mike. “I did. Mr. Buffman, please continue.”

“Alrighty. Well, it all started when my beloved, Maria, died. I was in-console-able. Couldn’t stop the cryin’ for weeks. I felt my masculinity slippin’ away from me like a meltin’ freezer pop.”

Mike almost looked like he was going to start crying for weeks. “You lost your wife? What happened?”

“Wife? I ain’t never been married. Maria was my sheep dog. Herded my goats like a champ, she did. Anyways, I figured I needed to stop cryin’ if I was to move on with my life, but I couldn’t quit. So I hopped inta the frigid deep.”

Mike gasped. “You went swimming in freezing water?”

“No, no, listen to me, ya city slicker. We ain’t got pools in my neck of the woods. I hopped into my chest freezer in the ga-rage.”

Daryl nodded. “Yes, yes. This was all in the book, Mike - did you not read it?”

Mike sulked. “I had to go to a hearing yesterday.”

Buffman continued. “I sure weren’t ‘hearing’ much in the freeze. Snuggled up with the steak and brisket for hours, I was, hopin’ if the freezer could keep meat juices from flowin’ it could do it to my tears just the same.”

Mike sniffled. “I had a dog when I was little…”

“Sorry, Mike, but you’ll have to save that story for the next time you’re our guest.” Daryl patted his shoulder. “Mr. Buffman, my apologies for the interruption.”

“You’re a real beta, ain’t ya?” Buffman growled. “Apologizin’ for another man’s tears has gotta be the lowest cowardry I come across.”

“So it’s cowardly to be polite?” Daryl’s jaw quivered with rage, but he only shook his head. “Forget it. Tell us more about what happened in the freezer.”

“Sure thing, Mr. Pretty-hair. What happened was I figured out that I loved it so much in there I fell right to sleep. Didn’t come out for five hours, and when I did, I was fulla energy not like any I’d ever felt. I was a new man. My abs were chiseled like one o’ them fancy ice sculptures you see in the movies.”

“So, you claim that by following your regimen, other men can quickly and easily improve their muscle definition?”

“That and a few more lil’ things. Or not so lil’, if’n you pick up what I’m smellin’.”

“Great that we’ve got that all established. Very inspirational.” Daryl pulled a folder out from under the desk. “Now I’d like to talk to you about some not so inspiring factoids. According to a report from the Safety Commission, the number of children climbing into freezers has increased twofold since the wide release of your bestselling book.”

“Sounds like good news t’ me.”

“And a large portion of those children suffocate and die. What do you think of that?”

“I think that sounds like nat’ral selection. If’n they got too small’a lung capacity to handle it, they ought be not carryin’ on wastin’ good oxygen.”

Mike tugged on his collar. “Yikes.”

Daryl went to the next page. “But forget about the dead children for a moment. There’s also that nagging matter of your history with eugenics advocacy groups. You believe you are qualified to decide who should live or die?”

“Nah… hell, that’s God’s job. I just think we shouldn’t be savin’ lives that ain’t worth a damn. Let The Lord sort ‘em out.”

“Daryl,” Mike whispered. “Where do you find these guys? I’m scared.”

“Get used to it,” he whispered back. “This is real journalism.” He straightened out his back and stared down Buffman with great confidence. “So let me summarize, Mr. Buffman. You believe in the culling of the ‘weak’, and you have gleefully raked in the money from a book that instructs readers to climb into their refrigerators and possibly suffocate.”

“Like I said, it’s in God’s hands whether my methodry makes a man stronger or weaker. Not mine.”

Daryl sighed. “Wow. I didn’t want to pull out this last tidbit, since it seems a touch too on-the-nose, but here goes it. I couldn’t make this up if I tried, folks, but this man’s real name? Wilfred Hitler.”

Mike was dumbstruck. “Seriously?”

Daryl nodded. “Seriously.”

Buffman shrugged. “It was a common name back in the day, where I come from.”

“You’re from New Jersey. I found your birth certificate, sir - you’re not eighty years old like you’ve publicly claimed for the past several years - you were born in 1973. You don’t even have your AARP card yet. Given that, I don’t think your physical appearance is all that impressive. You’re not only a eugenicist and a candidate for being called ‘literally Hitler’, but you’re a pathetic fraud, too. How do you sleep at night?”

Buffman smirked. “Mighty cold.” He got up from his seat and walked to the other side of the table, sticking his face right up to Daryl’s. He let out a low, guttural growl: “Then I fry up my pillow for breakfast.”

Mike shook as Wilfred exited the studio and slammed the door behind him. Daryl was stirred, too, but better at hiding his emotions.

He took a deep breath. “That’s been today’s episode of The Frank Program. Thank you for letting us be frank with you.”

“Daryl, should we… should we call the cops?”

Please comment, reblog, like, and follow if you enjoyed - I'd love to know what you think! See you again tomorrow.

Vegan Diet: This is not just a fad diet

[angelsdean]

the thing about the Paleolithic diet is that as a fad it’s kinda silly and conceptually it falls into the trap of assuming that the Natural is Good and that anything Altered by Humans is Bad, and also ignores the fact that most modern fruits and vegetables are themselves the product of domestication and are pretty unlike their wild Paleolithic ancestors and that humans are also unlike our Paleolithic ancestors in terms of what we’ve adapted to be able to eat. Not to mention that archaeologists still debate what Paleolithic people’s diets consisted of; that there is evidence they ate wild grains; and that the hunter-gatherer lifestyle is very different from what an average modern urban/suburban North American or Western European person following fad diets lives like.

However the outcomes of the Paleolithic diet is to encourage you to eat more fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fish, and nuts, and less alcohol, caffeine, sugary snacks, and processed oils, which as advice is in fact just regular good for you.

The article states Samsonova advocated eating a variety of fruits, nuts, and veggies, but her friend said that for years, she'd only eaten durian and jackfruit. The lack of necessary vitamins made her very sick.

The part that gets me most mad is where the article says: "many of her devoted followers refused to believe her eating choices led to her death, instead claiming that she was killed by chemicals in the fruit she ate."

Seriously? The chemicals?

[birdyverdie]

Reading an article about how to stop raw meat cravings and the recommended step is to eat raw meat to stop the craving.

Like....the point is that I DONT want to eat raw meat. When the fuck is eating raw meat ever a good idea anyways??

[tincansamurai]

there has to be a better term than plant-based. it seems like such a cop out. like it doesn't guarantee something is vegan, if that was the case they would label it vegan right? seems like a phrase to invoke veganism but leave wiggle room for contaminates and non-plant derived additives because, well, it's plant based, not 100% entirely composed of plant material. like the phrase is obviously completely unregulated and linguistically roasted vegetables with butter added are still plant based. a vegetable broth risotto with bits of pancetta is still like 90% plants. what does it mean. if it's vegetarian or vegan just write that

[gender-machine-broke]

But it’s not a social contagion alright

[rainia]

My parents' obsession with the keto diet when I was a teen has made me an absolute nasty whore for sweet fresh fruits like I could eat fucking buckets of them i tear into fresh grapes with memories of "they're too sugary for you" echoing through my brain as Dionysus himself manifests himself in my greedy guzzling. Nothing can ever stop me from being a fruit slut ever again no fad diet can attempt to be as strong as my love for the humble orange.
