The ocean is calling and I must go

My limited experience with paleo diets is that the people on them develop some kind of brain disease that makes them incapable of having a single conversation without somehow bringing it up.

I am putting peanut butter in my next cup of coffee. I like PB and coffee and am curious. I am not paleo. My diet plan is this: Eat food, mostly roasted or raw plants, no endangered animals. Thank you, Michael Pollan, for making a convenient description for me.

Over the summer, a guy started the paleo thing and then spent the next several months doing his best to spread it to the entire cycling club by talking about it nonstop in ways eerily similar to joining some kind of cult.

Any conversation would start with something like "do you want to know what I had for breakfast this morning? Just guess!"

NO. I don't care what anyone has for breakfast. If you went out and punched sharks to death to eat for breakfast, it would be interesting, but people who carry cooked sausages into their cycling jerseys and never shut up about how putting butter in their coffee has changed their life are just smelly and annoying.

But who knows, maybe there are closet butter coffee paleos out there who don't obsess about it to any hapless bystanders.

Yes. I mentioned earlier in the thread, my boyfriend's mom is not only paleo, but vegan and oil-free as well. Dinners out with her are excruciating.

The worst is when she makes little pouty faces because someone had the nerve to order something that she can't/won't have a bite of. I once spent an entire brunch listening to her talk about how awful my boyfriend was for ordering (delicious) bananas foster French toast.

Paleo people were pretty much the grand champions of eating endangered animals though. :getin:

Not very well. I think she describes herself as "a raw food/paleo vegan". She cheats constantly and then blames it on a conspiracy against vegetarians. BF's stepdad has the patience of a saint.

How are you able to understand her, when she speaks?

I imagined that when someones head is that far up their own rear end, it would inhibit their ability to talk.

I zone out a lot of the time. It's not like she gives anyone else a chance to talk anyway, all I have to do is nod when she pauses to take a breath.

Not gonna lie, she looks really good for her age. That's more to do with the fact that she teaches yoga than the myriad of dumb diets she goes on, though

interestingly tho teaching yoga and believing a bunch of crazy poo poo probably correlates

Marlene Zuk's book "Paleofantasy" is really good on this whole issue.

It's sooo good, and the French toast was awesome (though apparently it would've been much better with almond butter and soy milk instead of real butter and eggs). It also works with plaintains and is incredible with ice cream.

banana's foster is easy if you got the ingredients

and id hope you know how to make good french toast because everyone who cannot is probably to stupid to live

my brother once made "french toast" by cooking it in a pan he sprayed a bunch of non-stick cooking spray into

i wanted to die when i saw that

I can't be bothered to cook nice for myself 99% of the time.

Why would I have french toast with bananas foster when I could have some of last night's leftovers or maybe some instant oatmeal?

I had never heard of bananas foster before, but now I feel deprived

Non stick cooking sprays are an abomination.

French toast is better savoury than sweet though

aside from having to clean dishes good french toast dont really take a lot more time than instant oatmeal but understood

If I'm just cooking for myself, I don't pull out any bells and whistles. The less prep/dishes the better.

My work forces me to get a flu shot (and pays for them). I've gotten them two years in a row. I did not contract the flu either of those years. Thus they totally work. Trust me, i'm in IT
