If your steak needs goop, you've already hosed up somehow

A1 is good on mashed potatoes. Or steak fries. I've never understood people who insist on having it on/with their steak.

I give you cheesecake pizza. It had a sweet-ish cream sauce and I think the corn was maybe creamed corn? It was sweeter than normal corn. The cheesecake was literally just a hunk of cheesecake. Would not do again probably

I went through a few years being vegetarian/vegan and fainted a lot. Like, waking up on a sidewalk with a goose egg every week or two. Iron supplements didn’t work, other forms of protein didn’t work, vitamin shots were useless, I wasn’t anemic so treatment for that didn’t do anything, I kept waking up on the ground. My doctor started getting worried I’d crack my head open because when I’d faint I wouldn’t go down slowly. So I started going in for tests, and then it was then suspected I had a brain tumour and that it wasn’t related to diet, but nothing showed up in scans. All these specialists were scratching their heads and then just wouldn’t follow up after a couple of inconclusions (hi OHIP), and a couple of YEARS go by until my GP suggested I eat a steak as a joke and it was like this miraculous cure. I went from looking and acting like a dead person to a living one after a single meal. I start eating red meat again and after more tests it’s like I never had a problem.

I can’t go more than three or four days without a good portion of red meat or I start to disappear. I can feel it coming, too. Woozy, forgetful, clumsy, can’t get my words out, losing time...So I’m being dramatic but I really don’t want to fall and smash my head open on the kitchen tile when I’m home alone, so the idea that I could become allergic to red meat scares me because NOTHING else has ever worked.

Probably low creatinine. Treatable by eating red meat or creatine supplementation.

You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.


My mom doesn't absorb iron very much at all and was hospitalized for a while for severe anemia. She almost died. Turns out it's crazy difficult for iron supplements to absorb in her body, but iron in red meat works pretty damned well. Her new doctor told her she pretty much has to eat red meat in addition to taking huge amounts of iron, and only taking the pills like her former doctor told her almost got her killed. She was a vegetarian for a long time and even veggies with iron don't seem to do much. So yeah some people will keep the gently caress over if they don't actually eat the food that supplements come from.

E: I mean hey at least I know with 100% certainty that my red meat is healthy and raised well and whatnot.

As I understand it, the iron from vegetables doesn't get absorbed by your body as efficiently so even if a given meat and vegetable source have the same amount you'd still have to eat more of the vegetable for the same effect.

It's complicated with plant sources of iron because a lot of the ones highest in iron also have stuff that inhibits iron absorption. And apparently vitamin C can help with absorption so eating leafy greens with tomato or other high vit C foods helps

Taking in vitamin C increases iron absorption, so that's two supplements/very different categories of food to focus on.

I was lacto-ovo from 8-28 and barely remembered eating meat when I started again. Unfortunately, eating meat really mitigates my chronic IBS and I can't bear to stop now.

Eh, I've just somehow never managed to make anything with spinach that didn't make me gag. I'm really not sure how that works since I can usually at the very least choke down things I don't like, I'm looking at you broccoli.

Fair enough. It is kind of squeaky.

Unlike kale, which just stabs you a million times on the tongue and you start crying and you have to eat it anyways because guilt (see previous posts). gently caress kale. gently caress it.

e: okay, I like kale chips. Everything else kale-related can suck a fart.

People seem to overuse the word "great" with healthy/~super~ foods when in my opinion "palatable"/"edible" would be better descriptions.

Kale basically requires you to mask the fact that you're eating kale. I add honey dijon sauce, dried cranberries, and pecans to my kale salad and it's...edible.

Kale is a traditional staple in Northern Germany to the point where it's a legitimate part of the locals' collective identity and speaking as someone who worked there for three years that statement is 100% accurate

In the Netherlands kale is a staple food for stamppot a very normal and traditional winter and late autumn meal. gently caress eating it as just a vegetable though and definitly don't use it as substitutes for other stuff because its healthier, that's a great way to eat bad food.

I am not sure I've ever had kale. I was told it's like collard greens, but I'm dubious because collards are great and kale seems to not be great.
