Whoohoo my new Body Doubling Launge actually works which is great.

I think thats hard to answer scientifically because the "pure introverts" will only be a small part of that group. Isolated or empathetic people will strongy correlate with many other unhealthy traits. Friends help immensely with material survival which is important to keep in mind as well. I think even if you are a strong introvert you need some kind of human connection, maybe less but still some of it.

Yeah .. it takes a lot of consciousness though to face the suffering head on and look for its cause. The cause is oftentimes deeply burried. Very easy to numb yourself beforehand. Oh yeah thats true. I think the number one predictor of longevity is actually having a good social life.

I sorta stagnated at this stage of development. I knew that eating healthy was a good thing and I felt great about archieving that. But I had a long way to go, I had tons of social, career and spiritual problems I was afraid of. Because they overwhelmed me so much I rather stuck to what I had success with before and chased the last 10% of health.

Do you have adhd?

Nice disclaimer. Maybe make a disclaimer for the disclaimer, that the disclaimer will be long but is important.

Yeah but its hunderds to thousands little "karmas" compared to a big one.

I want this to be a purely ethical discussion. Even if you are a pro meat eater you are welcome to participate in this discussion. Its not about what you should or shouldnt do, but to arrive at an answer of what would theoretically be more ethical to eat, insects or meat from farm animals. ... The main argument for eating insects over regular livestock is that insects seem to be a lot less sentient. On the other hand you need hundreds or thounsands of them to get the same calories as one livestock animal. There are different methods to kill them. The most humane one seems to be to freeze them, but there are pretty brutal ones from boiling them or roasting them alive. What has to be kept in mind is that insects are so different from humans, we likely have a lot of speciesism towards them, so that bias needs to be made conscious for a truthful discussion.

Partially its habit. You can also make flour or patties out of them. It could be part of the answer. Is animal ethics concerns not something universal, like the expansion of consciousness, in your opinion?

What I find so fascinating is that you cant really compare the sum of many little sentiences with one big one. You cant really compare 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ... < 830 (lets say a cow) Because all the 1s and the 830 is of a different quality alltogether and adding all the 1s together will not result in a 830, but in 830 1s if that makes sense.

You have to compare the new food pyramid to the USDA "MY PLATE" Version though, not the old Pyramid of the 70s. I feel like no Version really gets it, the 2010s version doesnt focus enough on healthy fats and the carb sources suggested are probably not the best.

Nice!

Survival goes on. Those two free trade zones are about to connect, making them less dependent on the US.

I did a decent amount of psylocibin trips and some they warm, insightful for my personal life but I never really reached mystical experiences. I always wanted to direct my intention to it but emotions and unfocus carried me away, especially because my survival situation isnt perfect. I also have adhd. The story was pretty different at a festival though where I was making out with a girl who gave me psyloibin chocolate. Maybe it was just because of the stimulation, but I was contemplating massively what truth is, how living without truth would feel like and all that wonderful stuff. I am wondering if I just always need a trip sitter, I basically always trip alone. Or if its just that my survival situation seemed handled at that moment so that I could relax into the spiritual domain.

Paused here:

I once made a chocolate with a ton of coconut oil a couple of times when I was like 18 because I thought cocounut oil was a healthy oil. Maybe the only times in my life when I really felt like my heart health was in danger. That much saturated fat isnt good for you, a 18 year old shouldnt feel like he is close before a heart attack. That was my bodies signal.

Yeah fatty meat can be quite filling. Some carb sources can be as or even more filling though. Cheese and Eggs arent that filling per calorie, Steak is pretty good. There should be more studies on this: https://jarrellweightmanagementspecialists.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Satiety-Index-of-Foods.pdf

It looks like it has 7 portions of veggies and 7 portions of fruit. Thats really solid. If you added more fibre, people would complain that they need to poo 3 times a day.

Ahaha https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/2009030101426426219?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^2009030101426426219|twgr^6038804c2b0a113e5652321d7208f60efc07e9c3|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Freadlion.com%2Fwatch-rfk-jr-uses-south-park-spoof-to-showcase-new-food-pyramid%2F

Plant protein sources arent nesseccary but there are also a valid option which isnt represented at all. Its not better to get all of the protein exclusively from animal sources, quite the contrary as legumes in particular are packed with secundary plant compounds. Especially if the doctrine is to consume that much animal protein anyway, the bioavailability will be very high through combination with animal proteins. If you prepare legumes well and change them up the antinutrients arent a big deal. They actually have positive effects on health as well.

Fiber is empasized as vegetables and fruits are the base of the diet. I think LEAN proteins should be emphasized for satiety.

Whats that food at the buttom left above the line which seperates the grain ? Looks like rice pudding with sour cherry.

The standard in Germany for as long as I can remember. Adaptations have been made to 2 servings now.

Categorically I am not a fan of such pyramids because they are forced to simplify. But I generally quite like it purely from a health standpoint. (ethics, costs and environmental impact aside) I would critique that there is no plant protein source in the Protein section like legumes or soy. Meat is fine but this suggests that its only possible to get protein from meats. Also I dont get why there are all these fatty meats, full fat milk, butter etc. For weight reduction and health you want leaner proteins and fats from plant sources. A bit of fatty meat is okay but it shouldnt be the standard choice as seems to be suggested here. And I would add a tiny section at the buttom with junk food. No one is perfect and little treats are nesseccary to not crash with healthy eating.
