  1. Re:How do you determine healthy food? on IBM Granted Your-Paychecks-Are-What-You-Eat Patent · · Score: 2

    reminds me of when I grew up, and I'd watch my mom open a can of peas or a mix of veggies and she'd plop it into water and boil it... as she was cooking a frozen salisbury steak tray. Variations of that were replacing salisbury steak tray with frozen lasagna tray, or get all wild and crazy... order pizza.
    The veggies were because "dad likes his fiber".

    I think the 'baby boomer' generation and the impending hippy generation kinda sent the whole food idea helter-skelter. I'm laughed at by most family members because I like things like sushi, roasted asparagus, soy milk, & buffalo burgers. Odd.

    THANK you!
    Someone who understands there are different carbohydrates!
    fast carbs = simple carbs... complex carbs are the main diet. Sadly enough, in todays world if it's has a decent dose of complex carbs it's artificially inflated price-wise or is oatmeal...

    Ummm yes... yes the research has been done, lots.
    Saturated fats is best kept to a minimum... not to be completely avoided, but at least try.
    Mediterranean diet style is the best example of it - and no, I did not just ringing off a fad diet name, I was talking about a region. Olive oil is wonderful stuff for that, not to mention goes wonderful for the complexion :)
    Numbers are not playing games any more than eating differently is "playing games". By that idea, that swedish doctor is playing games by saying to eat different.
    Regulation of carbohydrate and protein in your diet while holding fats at a 15-30% range is the basics. Since every persons metabolism is different, sometimes it's trial and error... however, most of the time regulating your protein amount a little higher temporarily while lowering your carbs (all in cycles, to keep your body in flux) is the key.
    I did it for 4 years when I was working out, before my accident. I do back you up that fat is a necessary product of the body, just not abuse of it with saturated fats along with keeping (mono)unsaturated fats below 30% of your diet and more towards 15-20%.

    Healthy != poverty food.

    Sure, lentils, red beans, and oatmeal are healthy... but it's not something you want to survive on because it's healthy.
    There's a not so fine line between healthy and redundantly boring.

    I'd have to agree. I think it's because the kindle is a niche product, but I just want to read on it and maybe play battleship for a minute or two. The passive display is a god-send with the Kindle. The 9.7 inch screen on the DX just makes it awesomer...

    The two devices are for different things completely. The kindle fire is more adept to be great competition for the cheap chinese android tablets that are available now.
