paleo is based on a truth that adherents promote based on a fallacy instead of strong science - that a lot of the heavily processed foods we eat are bad for us (true to some degree though they would argue ALL foods not just SOME) because we should only eat what our paleolithic ancestors ate (false as we don't know precisely what they actually ate and we keep discovering new things like we ate grains a lot longer than previously realized, humans don't eat a single diet as we are omnivores and can thrive on a variety of foods, and regardless we don't know if what they ate was optimal for long term survival or if it instead just enabled them to survive long enough to ensure the survival of their offspring)

so you used a word about a lie made up by idiots. nobody's removing vitamins minerals and fiber to put sugar salt and fat in(other than the fact that most basic forms of cooking happen to break down fiber and cause some vitamins and minerals to denature), also, you're describing most food from forever, humans be putting sugar salt and fat in anything they can for millennia

the point is most "bad food" is in fact good, people just stuff too much of all foods in their mouths and pretend it's that darn "bad food"'s fault

see also: people who want to ban soda but see nothing wrong with juice

ps: the food isn't non-nutritious, pretty much no food is non-nutritious.

You mean I can switch back to wood bark flour! Awesome, sawdust is so much cheaper than wheat!

i joke but seriously the inner bark of pine trees is edible. A little gross though, if you eat it raw its all fibrous and you basically have to chew and suck, then spit out the wood fibers and eat the next piece. Flavor was a very mild, piney taste. Apparently some people find it more palatable if cooked or ground into flour then baked into bread. Protip if you find yourself in a famine. Caloric value is something like 600 Calories/pound and the trees take forever to grow back so it isn't the greatest plan. Maybe that'll be the next fad. Famine diets. A surefire way to lose weight.

Yeah man its a question of if you're optimizing for nutrition (which does literally mean fat salt and sugar) or satiety (in which case you are better off slowly chewing salads and tofu stir-fries and berries).

Or cost, i guess, which is a pretty big part of the equation. Really probably the most important part of the equation, and the fact that we can even sit here and debate which foods are best to eat is a triumph of agricultural surplus. Hail wheat, rice and corn subsidies satan.

lol the nutritional contents of food are literally printed on the packaging. Just decide what you want to optimize for, make a plan and do it. Then don't gently caress it up by deciding you want pizza on day 25 8 of your new diet. Just go to /fit/ or bodybuilding.com or /r/fitness etc. and copy the diet of successful people if you are lazy.

juice is bad too because it is processed to the point where you get all of the sugar, a fraction of the vitamins, and none of the fibre of (approx) 5 loving oranges in a single cup of oj. that is way too much sugar in a single serving. many heavily processed foods only manage to avoid being non-nutritious because we add vitamins back in to prevent loving rickets in people that live off of bread and cereal, but please continue to believe that (for example) the differences between polished white rice and regular rice are moot.

oh ffs really?

i was ready to let this go but here are three examples of food processing that do alter the nutritional content of foods:

blanching - leaches both vitamins and minerals from food
milling - removes minerals from food
extrusion - ditto

look up polished white rice and fortification if you want to learn more

hope this helps now shut the gently caress up and i'm sorry again for contributing to the derail

Hey folks,

An idea that's been floating around in my head recently is how to fill
our nice blank white walls with awesome local art.

Offering a space / canvas isn't enough of an incentive (it's like asking
someone for work for publicity only), but it'd be really neat if
Noisebridge could offer small grants to local artists in exchange for
mural artwork.

No idea how much this would cost, or even if anyone would take us up on
it, but think it's an idea worth exploring.

Anyone done this before with other groups? Would love to hear your
experience.

cheers,
