The Food Thread

[Flyingheart]

Hey all,

A thread to talk about all sorts of food and diets, what ever you can talk about with food you can discuss here in this thread.
I'll start..

A few years ago i eat a bowl of Special K from Kellogg's



...while watching TV and while i was eating this i came across some unexpected little chunks of soft metal getting stuck between my teeth, so i had to pull it out and put it on the table not thinking to much about it, i thought "could have happened in the factory, a minor mistake" so i eat a second hand of this stuff and again, there was this second piece of metal stuck in my teeth.. so now it was just disgusting, i collected the pieces and showed it to some people, they didn't think to much about it either when i showed them and i thew the whole box away and never eat that crap again, and a year later or something this went on TV.. a TV show contacted Kellogg's for this and eventually they said it's extra iron for the body, and they uncovered the secret of this iron in the Special K and they were chipped/chunks of bicycles.. and this was processed in the Spacial K Kellogg's food for the consumer to eat.. yummy yum yum..
I have no idea if they still sell this crap but i think they do, every country can demand that this gets removed from your supermarket's shelves or you could of course make the decision for yourself and just not buy the crap.

You can share your good or bad experiences with food here if you like and share recipes with each other or maybe recommend people stuff to try out maybe.

KNOW WHAT YOU EAT!
food additive codes or...
E-Numbers in food.





* * *The lesser you get this stuff inside of you the healthier your diet is. * * *
Most E-numbers are in MICROWAVE products "they say" (i personally don't eat much microwave food so i don't know this. just telling what i know.)

There are E-numbers in food that are approved as "SAFE" but really they are not in long terms, so again.. eat as less of this as possible.

In certain countries there may not be more then 12 E-numbers in a foodproduct but most food companies circumvent/get around this rule by naming the E-number by it's original name...
So instead of putting the number E220 on the ingredients label on the back they name it Sulphur Dioxide to mislead the concumer..

Here is a list online to view these numbers and what they do:

LIST E-NUMBERS

Not all E-numbers are harmful but some are, here is a list of them...

SOME HARMFUL E-NUMBERS

If your not Dutch copy the text and paste it in Google translator or Bing translator.

Fact: Did you know the color RED comes from crushed lice that live on a cactus

You can download one of these Apps to see what E numbers you are eating..

What's the strangest/weirdest food that you eat?

back in the day when i was going through my TMNT phase i tried cheese pizza with jellybeans on them - TBH it wasn't bad!

It's an acquired taste but i love "Chinese lollies and mango skins"

Lets hope this water is from Fiji and maybe better cause it contains natural amounts of fluoride (as ppl say on the internet which is not for 100% certain.)

Mark i love ya man but please do a little research or ask a guy from a lab what water must contain to have the best and healthiest water there can be for the human body.

- Is there chemical fluoride added to your water?
- Are there micro-plastics in the bottle?
- Does the inside of the bottle contain female hormones? or is there a thin layer of fluoride lubricated inside these bottles like with canned food?

You can advertise what fluoride does to your brain and bones and that its NOT in your bottles of water.
I HOPE...

- Is it safe for pregnant women to drink the water?

Pretty heartless but very important journalism..

What i don't understand is why these dumb ass companies pump the ground full with harmful chemicals in every drilling sight which costs LOTS OF MONEY and not pump the chemicals OUT to re-use them for other sights TO REDUCE THE COSTS OF CHEMICAL USEAGE?!

Also.. if they were anywhere near creative, they would have found a way to fill these holes up with other STABLE crap that avoids the earth underneath you from forming a "hell hole" where you can drown in and/or get boiled alive due to the harful chemical bath and/or boiling water and get burried alive in by the rubble..

Stop these F*CKING COMPANIES ALREADY America! jjeezzz!
Be safe over there my American friends!

[Flyingheart]

Now that i'm still awake and thought about this crazy hazardous sinkhole(s) problem that these dumb ass companies create.. i came with a possible salution..

Named foam.. tire foam like you spray inside of your tire but than in large quantities and 10 to 100 times stronger.
A normal tire foam can handle 20 bars of pressure as a standard and max. is 30 bars which is 3 MPa (or 3 million pascal, or 30.000 hPa i believe.)

If they spray this inside and add pressure to it it could be easier to fill up these empty spaces with concrete or other materials or fill it up with Co2 which they can do these days right? And if they put a diamond in there America could get filthy rich again if it crystalizes to a diamond lol, it'll probably be the ugliest stone ever but who cares right could be useful for industrial crap like diamond sawing blades etc.

Anyways a good chemist could have fun with this idea.

If this gets done, remember where you read it first.

I almost posted this in the PETA thread because of the animal cruelty.. not while they are alive but after they are butchered.. which also effects our health..

There are several food scandals here in Western Europe these last few weeks.. I'll name a few..

- Chickens and eggs that are not organic but sold as "organic" in several countries..

- Fat from Spanish vagrant dogs being used in meatballs of soup and other meat product! Sickening sh*t..

- Several farms burn to the ground every year (i think because of arsonists/pyromaniac's) but journalists don't think much of it i guess. Thousands of animals get burned ALIVE here and nobody stops to think.. Chicken farms, pig farms (the animal CLOSEST TO A HUMAN), cow farms....

- A food factory used horse meat for 64 years or something in it's product not saying it was in it.. nobody cares what these guys did.. horse meat is RED MEAT and can damage your body when eating to much of it which most people probably did..

- Now 50.000.000KG's or 1.10231E+08lb of beef!!! has been recalled to be inspected because there is horse meat in it.. all that meat is all going to waste because of this inspection bit if it's not being done the people doing this might not get caught.. it's very VERY sad off all those..

66.667 animals that have died for this..! -_-
Yes i did My research >:-#

I suggest we mix meat with healthier things like nuts or union or other good healthy but tasty things.

Several food companies are screwing around with food to make it cheap but with that diseases are lurking around the corner which they probably know as well which is why they probably throw in so many E-numbers in food, we had a few outbreaks here and there.. with several countries blaming eachother..

[Flyingheart]

It has always been normal to eat horse meat here in Belgium but it's not like we eat it daily here, it can damage organs..

[Flyingheart]

Well.. another 2 barns caught fire again in the Netherlands.. still.. no one says how these fires get started like its normal that barns catch fire this easily...

Another 2400 pigs DEAD.. for nothing and people have to pay more for their food.. again.. the price of food is already way to high here.
