Computer viking posted:What? Eggs have a definite purpose - they are protection and food for the growing chicken. Milk has a definite purpose - it's food (and probably a few other things) for the growing calf. I really don't understand what your complaint is, unless you're being deliberately obtuse or extremely nitpicky about which verbs people use when talking about it? Kenning posted:I think "function" vs. "purpose" is nitpicky. The word "intention" is clearly the wrong word to use, but that wasn't even my word. it's fine to just talk about how you feel or what you think about stuff, but if you're making overarching comments about the 'inherent' 'purpose' of 'objects', you're basically just blabbering pseudo-philosophical nonsense. milk isn't even a definite objective thing - much less does it have a definite purpose. if you want to say, 'alright, well, obviously everyone knows what I'm talking about when I'm talking about milk - it's that white moderately viscous liquid stuff that generally tastes good', but outside of context and your understanding of milk, milk doesn't exist as a platonic ideal somewhere waiting for one to predicate properties upon it. milk doesn't exist as an object, outside of one's phenomenological understanding of milk as something which exists within a world of context (IE, linguistic {or pseudo-linugusitc, depending on how one rolls} semantic relationships, presumably represented by the temporal relationship of action potentials that transverse some constellation of neurons somewhere deep within one's dense loving skull) so say "I believe these types of eggs have the potential to serve this kind of function within X context that is generally understood to involve a Y acting on Z" - or just say "I believe global warming is bullshit because im cold this winter, and also I believe the inherent purpose of milk is to feed babies because I was a baby once and I drank milk and also a lot of other babies drink milk" and we'll all be on the same belief/understanding/logic page.

I have a bunch of frozen veggies in my freezer, and I really gotta clear them out. Some chicken and ground beef too. I'm thinking of doing a lot of throw it in a pan, fry it, gently caress it kinda dishes. Any tips on seasonings and such to make it less bland? I've also taken the good advice from this forum and stocked some beans/rice (brown) and I'm probably going to make some fried rice with the veggies. Been picking up the stir-fry frozen veg packs and just throwing them in. It's just turned out okay, and I want to make it more better. Basically I have a variety of frozen ingredients I want to make things with. I'm bad at finding and trying new things. Help

You're completely ignoring the evolutionary aspect for a cheap point, here. Egg yolk isn't some black monolith found in the desert where the only "function" is "well, we can sit in the shade when the sun comes in at the angle". Producing eggs, especially yolk, is an energy drain that would have disappeared through evolutionary pressure if it didn't provide some advantage. Of course, you can never be 100% about evolutionary processes - but I feel safe enough in saying that eggs are neither vestigial nor a spandrel. Thus, their continued existence is almost certainly because of one or more beneficial or even critical functions to the egg-laying species. What, then could those functions be? Pulling answers from the swirling depths of biological speculation, they appear to be a protection and nutrition system for the developing chicken. Mutations that result in yolkless, shell-less, or otherwise atypical eggs tend to fail to produce viable offspring. Summarizing from that, eggs in their current form are a nutrition and protection provider for bird offspring, and if that role disappeared the eggs would disappear with it (though it might take a while). Thus, the continued existence of eggs depends on them providing (among other things) nutrition("food") for chickens. The last some thousand years there has also been another selectionary pressure, applied by humans. We select for birds that lay as many and large eggs as often as possible, with the intent of using them, mostly for food. If a domesticated bird somehow appeared that managed to reproduce without nutritious eggs, it would have been selected against rather sharply. Thus, the purpose of eggs from domesticated birds is, in the most explicit "intelligent designer" way, to provide us nutrition (and more egg-laying birds, see the "food for chickens" paragraph above). Of course, you could be reductionist and say that "the purpose is to make the farmer money", but that's merely an indirection between the work and the end-result (of eggs being eaten). To round off, "eggs exist because they provide nutrients" is a bit of a mouthful. In normal speech you might say things like "the purpose of eggs is to be food" to convey the same meaning. You might also intend or deliver a different meaning with the same words, but such are the joys of language. edit: Also, thanks for the distraction - this is way more fun than what I ought to be doing.

This debate is, admittedly, too high brow for me to follow completely, but I feel satisfied in knowing that I am sorounded by people who, clearly, are belonging to the variety of amateur chefs that define themselves as artists rather than craftsmen. Congratulations - you are all foodies! Simply put - when I say that the argument is directionless, I do mean it - you may be in formation, but you're certainly out of direction - you're chasing the wrong goal. The point here isn't the original function/purpose or intend of the egg, but that you're all doing the scrambling wrong! It is like seeing adolescent children putting condoms on bananas for sex education (age of children may vary according to how repressed your society is), something that gives them momentary joy, something that may be a good skill to possess later in life, and hopefully will prevent fertilaztion of eggs in abundance. But it leaves the poor banana misused and with a feeling of shame! SAVE THE BANANAS!

Also just as a side thought - if you really want to promote abstinence as a birth control method, wouldn't the most effective way of doing so be to use 12" 'natural' looking flesh colored dildos in sex Ed classes? That would make the 13 year old boys never want to remove their pants in front of a girl due to the size inferiority complex that this would induce, and the girls run away, screaming, whenever a boy got sprung... Edit: I am assuming that getting sprung is a euphemism for not displaying erectile dysfunction - the American fighter-poet Sir Mix-a-lot has told me so. Edit the 2nd: there is a basic flaw in my plan that would require kids never to see their parents naked, or shower communally Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 12:37 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Why are you even cooking for these people? I would probably just give up. Anyway, could you do maybe some banchan style stuff to start with? Then maybe do a soup with bean threads or something, but I think beans are out on a paleo diet. I know there are a couple of other kinds of noodles that aren't rice or wheat based. No idea about how to do anything other than pickles or soup, though.
