Obesity and worms...

[R.P.L]

The one part of the plant that the plant DOES NOT want to be eaten are the seeds. Even edible fruits often has toxic seeds

I thought the idea was that the seeds passed straight through whatever animal ate the fruit, so that they would end up in the ground somewhere else and turn into baby plants.

that's exactly how it works for some plants. i'm enjoying the "science" spouted by the OP here.

The plant wants the seeds to be swallowed, but not chewed. Chewed seeds will not germinate (I would hope that is obvious) Apples taste nice, apple pips are bitter and contain cyanide (As do many fruit pips)

Swallowing apple pips whole won't hurt you they are too tough for our guts to dissolve, but chewing them up first, especially in large quantities, might well be not terribly good for you.

(Though there are people who advocate eating toxic fruit seeds, Apricot seeds in particular, Advocates of this practice refer to it as Vitamin B17)

Just think we could be eating fruit where a seed sprouted from animal poop.

I had worms as a kid. True story. It was the early 80s and I guess I ate a lot of dog **** back then.

Dont you want me baby, don't you want me ohohhhhh!

Me too

The expression is "you must have a tape worm", not worms which I would say is the ones you get in your arse and makes dogs drag their arse along the road.

I remember watching a documentary on TV many many years ago and the scientist guy was about to get married but intentionally swallowed tape worm eggs and one hatch and they followed it with a case study through till he took the medicine to kill it a few days before his wedding.

He pooped it out into a sieve place in the throne and it was massive long whiteish/opaque thing like you would see under the sea.

He sure did loose weight as all the goodness from his foot was going to the worm.

You must be disturbed then by the fact water is indestructable, And whatever molecule was making up the soft part of someones poo might now be part of your coffee.




Also worms play no part in obesity, That is purely exercise humans were designed to roam and eat not sit around all day eating processed food. And most of it these days actually tricks the stomach into not activating the fullness receptors until it is too late. A good example would be find me a fat vegetarian.


Anyone seen obese vegetarians? Anyone???

Yes, but plant seeds usually evolve to pass through particular animals. They won't necessarily make it through the gut of all animals unharmed. Frequently they actually need to have their surface layers digested to germinate properly.

Yes.

Is this 2020? Are carbs still the enemy? ...Helo

 

[Rofflay]

Yes.

Who? And how you must need to eat some serious serious veg to get fat, I do a soup and it fills me up and thiers no way your gonna get fat on it.


Unless you stretched your stomach but the most i can do is 3 hotdog rolls, 4 large potatoes, 3 carrots leek celery and some chopped leaf and lentils. I can barely walk after that the whole thing is done in exactly 2L of water also. I pretty much leave nothing afterwards.

I don't I just fancied saying it.

Poo is everywhere, especially on people who don't wash their hands.

You breathe it in when you smell poo and manure it is already going past the olfactory receptor in your nose and heading to the lungs. This is why farmers and manure are such buttholes in the summer time!


This is also why dogs have long noses and longer surface areas on that wet nose to trap and detect minute odor. They have larger olfactory receptors.

Humans have evolved on the assumption that we will have worms.

wtf are you talking about....
thats like saying humans evolved assuming we would all have AIDS, if you don't have aids you are 100x more likely to die of cancer

You watched too much stargate.

we evolved assuming we would be covered in fleas, ticks, germans, mould and other crap are bodies may not want.

probably why we have the urge to scratch, kill and keep our selves clean....

I am off work so no not cycling. Notice I am eating far less, but once I return to cycling I eat two people's worth of food. I'm abourmt 11 stone and 5'8"

 

[Dr Jack]

Who?

Friends.

And how you must need to eat some serious serious veg to get fat, I do a soup and it fills me up and thiers no way your gonna get fat on it.

There's plenty of sweets and snacks that are vegetarian, and you can deep fry anything. Vegetarian doesn't mean you persist on the stuff we call "vegetables" in standard cooking.

Thats the issue then, They are doing veg wrong and get fat. Eat soup, Fresh veg and fruit and stop frying and eating treats.
