Little wonder we’re such a fat-ass society with all the sugar, salt and fat that infests processed foods, including all fast ‘food’ fare! Are we such a lazy society that convenience is our only option? Why doesn’t the federal government take a stand with these major food companies and demand they reduce their obscene levels of preservatives and enhancers? Like tobacco, this shit is killing people! —Going Back to Retro Cooking

Der! Misery and Vice are the two things that keep a society in check.
If you don’t want to die from it choose not to participate in using it.
Uh in case you didn’t get the memo – all the produce at the grocery store is genetically modified. I’ll take the brrgrr and the fat ass over cancer thnx.
Types the OB as they are scarfing down a Michilini or a Delicio. The government needs to fuck off when it comes to food, alcohol, smokes, gambling, etc.
The luxury of Convenience is fan-f’n-tastic for people who work and have seemingly impossible schedules…A home cooked meal after a 12 hour shift? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
You got that Hezz.
as long as big brudder guberment can get a cent in some type of taxes off it, it ain’t gonna change anytime soon. i see what you mean tho, and if everyone ate healthy, then there would be no doctors or such, to help leech our dollars then.
No.
You cannot police people’s bodies op. Do you believe in policing people’s bodies?
I am pro choice. In every way. Keep your damn opinions away from my personal space.
Why don’t YOU eat what YOU want and let others do what they feel they have to do. I don’t eat ANY processed food (and that includes the nasty-ass packaged junk food they sell at the health store, just so you know) but i believe in a person’s right to make choices about their own bodies.
Clearly you do not.
Idiot..
Like the old sayin’ goes, you are what you eat. It shouldn’t be regulated by any governmental body, especially one with a generous meal allowance.
I heard something on tv the other day, may be American based but they said that the food regulators/powers that be allow a 20 percent variance because food labels can’t be “bag on”. That 20 percent variance in the actual nutrition info is allowable? If that’s the case I expect most of the “bad food” would be understated. Best to eat fresh and stay away folks! Yeah, I’m boring, LOL
Harperite!!!! What’s next, legislated exercise? Legislation against being poor? Maybe we can exile (demonize and jail) those who don’t share your “moral values”. FUCK OFF, YA ASSHOLE!!!!
testify, brother shitd
Moderation is the key to most of what we consume. Eat a balanced diet meaning not too much of one thing and it shouldn’t affect us long term. Eat your bologna and hot dogs once in a while, make ice cream a treat occasionally.
I can’t imagine getting levels of government involved in legislating what we eat, what a cluster fuck that would be. That said, maybe introducing some information about food comes to be and the long term effects off eating too much of it could be introduced at the grade school level. That is, if it isn’t already.
SHITD taxing food and what we are allowed to eat, drink, etc is more in the realm of the Dippers who want to control us and our behaviour.
Steve How was Shinequa?Talking about not eating junk….lol
Haha. Google Michael Taylor, y’all. Monsanto is the FDA, and the current system of govt regulation of food in the States is broken/farcical. I’m sure we don’t eat much from there *genetically modified fart noise*
you eat crayons but not processed food?
Everything in moderation, otherwise Life is quite dull.
I think someone needs to watch ‘the island’ and I hope they don’t like bacon….
which sounds preposterous, I know…
I don’t trust people who don’t like bacon.
Its a choice to eat these full of fat foods.. government shouldn’t tell us what to eat.. Every food item seems to be processed to some point these days.. I enjoy myself a good MacDonalds meal every once and again and there’s nothing wrong with that!
That. Was. Awesome, TTFN!

TTFN Some couples who have been married awhile; go out of they’re way to set the ambiance in the bedroom for sex.Good for you both you make the ambiance as you both go, ever so slowly.
Little advice though,some scented candles may help.Not that either of you need it(married awhile) but to mask the smell.Just don’t buy flower scented candles.Unless you both like to make love in a cow pasture of wild flowers.
Thanks for the laugh TTFN.I needed that. 😛
Well,I thought good for TTFN and Hub unit,they’ve been married awhile but they still have it(pun intended). 🙂

One more thing – TTFÑ/Wogdog/Tinkle, you’re just giving me more evidence to accumulate for absolute proof that you are a troll with many identities – you’ve probably created these other trolls because you seem to crave attention of any type. However, I don’t think you’re quite that clever. I’m sure mod would love to get a hold of your hate-filled, crazy train words on how you have harrassed and bullied many posters on this board. Get a life. Yours sounds very empty. That is all.

I’m not reporting any of this shit. Only whiners and nerds report the same shit they laugh at when the shoe is on the other foot. It’s ok and fair game when that tactic is used on the “undesirables”, but is forbidden in the case of the “chosen few”. All you hypocrites need to nut up and take care of the problem you are ALL responsible for creating. All you have to do is skip the comments, and don’t fucking respond.

Silly, silly Twinkle. Still the bully, still harassing posters, still a nasty, smelly troll with floppy tits. So stupid, so hardheaded, so thick-as-a-brick, such a BULLY grunt.
Poor TT! If I were her I’d take a break and let this Woggie/Twinkle flap herself up to a frenzy and burn out. At least five people have reported Woggie so far, keep them reports to the mod coming, posters! It may be TT today but it could be another poster she turns on tomorrow. This is the kind of instability we’re dealing with.
Thanks for the laughs, Queen of the Quiffs, I’ll bet the real TTFN is enjoying her real life with her lovely husband and you can’t because no one would have a nasty sow like you in their life.

Lackingimagination: I just humped your advice: ‘Little vice though,some rented handles may kelp.’ Whoaaaaaa you could have a bear there. I would suggest something prickily and strong like that fragrance called ‘Orangyjiss’ very effective for knocking the stink out of your own twat. But if you want to be inverted think ferret sweat, so revolting but tasty. Hey I gotta a hernia! What about musquito dicks, those candles they sell to attract critters to your hairy barn doors? I bet it would knock the living shit out of your fruit-flied flaps that fell off after fucking a hound named Rex you just had to have (self-admitted, of course!). You know what they say about an overripe gary. Or in my case having sex for so long because of my bawa balls and my dude’s honkin’ big wang. I told you to lay off those Wookies but you won’t listen.

Ummm…just because it’s the Internet doesn’t mean you aren’t a hypocrite.
It’s the lack of “consistency” that makes you a hypocrite, dumbass!!!
And who are you hiding behind, Woggie/Twinkle/Bogus TTFN/Empress/Pennis? Some old forty-something toothless old cougar named Splenda Cartell? Must be from the Cape, right? Well, get this Woggie, I’m related to the Cartells from the Cape so you and I could be second cousins! Wouldn’t that be wonderful??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

blowp
didn’t read all 69 comments, and I don’t think the answer is more government regulation, however:
I saw on TV recently that in the US, the feds invest a ton of money into the farming of beef, soy, corn and everything that goes into fast food through government farming subsidies. They invest practically nothing in fruits and vegetables and that is part of the reason it is so much more expensive to eat healthy. I’m trying to do some research to see if it is a similar situation in Canada but I haven’t found anything. I suspect it’s not much better, if at all. Poor people with families simply cannot afford to buy healthy food, that’s why so many of them are obese.
If government has a role in this it is start investing in the agriculture of nutrient-rich foods like they do in calorie-rich foods. Forcing successful businesses to change their ways is not the answer. Until we as consumers change our ways there will always be lots of money to be made selling unhealthy products.
I feel like I’m in Grade 2. Oops, my apologies to those in Grade 2, who act much more mature, than some of these idiots.
WIth my recent health problem, diet as made a huge difference OP. I can no longer eat any of the processed foods available in the grocery store. I go in get some cheese, fresh veggies, go buy my meat & poultry & eggs from a local farmer(s) out here, get my fish from the fish/seafood truck out by exit 8 on the 102. I bake my own breads etc. using glutten free flours etc.
No canned soup etc , or bottled sauce, no frozen prepared anything in over 9 months …lost a lot of weight, no longer borderline diabetic.
As for fast food, except for a Subway salad, or hitting one of the local sushie places , there are several resturant/cafes that do a nice selection of gluten free offerings.
Healthy foods available, its just not AS available …& it certainly isn’t less expensive.
By the way you wouldn’t believe what they put wheat in !
Pretty much used as a filler in everything processed !
& the amount of salt “allowed” in a Canadian daily diet according to the BS canada food guide is over 2 times what we actually need to be healthy. & the maximum is almost 4 times ! ! !
TTFN I already said my mistake was mistakenly thinking it was YOU WHO WROTE THAT.I was laughing WITH YOU NOT AT YOU. I am not on anyone’s side
Good points, Tommy.
Glad you’re doing better, More. I had a health issue requiring hospitalization beginning of this month. Used to eat pretty well before, and it’s even better. It’s a beautiful thing when what you eat makes you feel so good.

Eating fresh, non-processed foods is pretty easy. Getting to that point is the hard part. Start small and work your way up to that point, it has a snowball effect where the farther you get the easier it gets. I don’t even know the last time I bought something frozen in a box.

“PROCESSED FOOD: A METAPHOR FOR CURRENT ARTIFICIALITY?
“Are we such a lazy society that convenience is our only option?” Going Back to Retro Cooking
There seems to be a strong analogy which holds between processed foods and other aspects of modern life, in particular that of university education in which the student, viewed as just another consumer, demands “satisfaction” from the courses he takes. Such “satisfaction” in education is the correlate of “convenience” in the case of processed food. But how does this play out?
The view that students are just consumers is the flip side of the general view which holds that universities are just like any other corporation which seeks to optimize the number of its “clientele.” How do they do this? They do it as other corporations do: They advertize. Specifically, they emphasize consumer satisfaction usually couched in terms of “student-centered learning,” new approaches to teaching which “empower individual learners,” and a curriculum “focused more clearly on the learner.” Let there be no mistake. The education on offer is not some old irrelevant fusty product but rather a go-ahead one, tailored to customer student satisfaction. Under the new dispensation of the student-as-consumer – he has come to be seen as being on an equal footing with the professor – he is now a partner in the educational enterprise and one who naturally demands value for money. The professor-student relationship is re-inforced, of course, by the common practice of the student rating or grading the academic staff. But what is missing in this picture?
The analogy with cooking still holds. Instead of “real food” being replaced by processed food, we have market-driven forces appealing to student satisfaction replacing the “real food” of the university, the life of the mind embodied in the various subjects in which both student and professor jointly engage. The writing of History, for example, is not judged on the basis of some amorphous “satisfaction” the student may or may not receive but rather by standards intrinsic to the writing of history itself – writing which exemplifies those qualities of mind constitutive of historical scholarship where judgement plays the central role. It is this quality of mind – academic “real food” which is currently being replaced by the “satisfaction” demanded by the student-as-consumer – in other words academic “processed food”. It is just another example of the creeping artificiality of current life which, given the God-like status of market forces, seeks to eliminate reflective judgement – did I hear the word “philosophy”? – itself.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

That’s a sexy Zilla,hard as nails on the outside,soft and sensitive on the inside.

Yes, MM. Why should a student not have the RIGHT to expect good value for their tuition? Universities are publicly funded organizations, and as such, we deserve the best value for OUR money as TAX PAYERS as well as students. What do you know? Students really are “partners” in their educational institutions?
You elitist ass!!!!!
I have been doing some light reading over the past few years about our food and what goes into it from start to finish – I was amazed. Wheat for example has been genetically modified to increase crop growth for the demand for packged food. It is pretty much a science experiment – nothing natural about it. I could go on and on and on, but I will save that for another day…In the end, I bought a small farm, got some animals and planted some veggies – best thing I ever did with my life.
Well, I think that’s it for the Bitch boards! Thanks a lot dumbass’.
Please people, if the boards start up again DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!!!!!!!
DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, DO GIVE THEM THUMBS UP OR DOWN, DO NOT LOOK AT THEM!
AND ALSO DO NOT EVEN MOCK THEM WITH FAKE PROFILES!
I honestly cannot believe how childish a few people are on these boards. What is the point of trying to argue with these idiots? It only brings you down to their level.
Is it that hard to just have a discussion relevant to the OB?
For example:
People should be allowed to eat whatever they choose, the Government has no right to force anyone to eat healthy if they do not wish to.
I meant do NOT give them thumbs up or down.
They can “THUMB” themselves all they want.
Who does your butchering, Kim? When I lived in PEI I got free range chicken, eggs, and healthier beef from Island Taylor Meats. Used to have a chicken dinner that was like a turkey dinner! Man, it was good. I would grow my own if I was able to. Good for you for doing it.
p
Off topic i don’t live in a safe neighbourhood.I can’t sleep because i think there was shots fired outside.Almost a dozen cop cars pulled over a car arrested the occupants with weapons drawn.Shit place
It wasn’t a dozen cop cars that pulled them over.A dozen or so while arresting the people in the car.
boru, i said it here many times before. where i live is pretty quiet, altho you do get a few assholes every so often.the building i live in is clean, crime free, and no one fucks with anyone else. anything that might need repair or replacing, is done in a very short time.
the owner is a sweetheart, and will go out of his way to help out in whatever way he can.we have no bugs, except for a few small ants every so often, bugs are bug and pest free. there are no assholes here, as i won’t tolerate it, and they are soon gone. the rent is fairly cheap, $630.00 for a 2 b.r., and heat, water, parking, and security doors on all floors that are always locked.
the mail is pretty good, considering it’s can. post. the tenants here are like one big family, and sometimes get together on a friday night for card and board games. the apartments now all have hardwood flooring and the b.r.’s are a good size, even the 1 b.r.’s.
i have been here 9 years, and have only seen the police here a few times, and that was mostly because someone did damage to the building, but not all that often either. the part of evans that i’m on, is a pretty quiet area, not like up by dawn st. or the upper end of evans. the driveway and lot are plowed pretty quick when it snows, the steps are cleared and salted, and there is a lot of parking.
the good tenants stay for a long time, the shitheads, well i get rid of them. we don’t stand for troublmakers here, and never will. it is basically an adult building, but if you have kids, there are exceptions, and i love kids. would have 10 of my own, if i wasn’t fixed.the tenants range in age from me, 63, down to about 25. and again, we all get along and look out for each other. no zombie will ever make it pass our main doors. and boru, you know that i’m always open for a hug session.
I’ve been told there’s a great butcher who only sells local beef/poultry/pork on Main Street in Dartmouth – the prices are supposed to be amazing – anyone know about this place?
If this is the place you’re talking about TTFN, then yes, awesome product at very reasonable prices.
http://www.gatewaymeatmarket.com/
They also have a dairy, produce and fairly large frozen food section. They’re always busy. Excellent meat. Definitely a place to go to stock the freezer.
Thank you Life Sucks I’ll keep that in mind.
TTFN I think it’s Cate Way Market .
Thanks so much, Vastie! Time to call the Hillybilly Hollow oxen team for a trip to the ‘Other Side’.
You were close, Boru! Glad you went back to your old board name.
Geeze, Vastie, they even have raw dog food at this place! I’ll have to tell a couple of my buddies who have doggies – processed dog (and cat) food is pure poison to animals as far as I’m concerned, even if you buy it at the vet’s.
The meat at Gateway looks awesome. I live near the fruiteek, so I naturally go there. I need to drive out to Darkmuff and buy some meat from this place.
Thanks for the referral, Vastie!
Swing the ox team my way, TTFN. I’ll get you jiggered on good goat coffee before your meat buy.
p
My pleasure. For every referral I send their way they give me a free steak! (I kid, I kid, but I might be onto something here…hmmmm…*looks for their phone number again*)
It’s not the biggest place, (essentially just a big U-shaped aisle, and when it gets busy, it can get a little tight, so I’d recommend going early if you can. Weekends are insane! lol But it’s clean and bright.
AND they’re fully accessible if I remember correctly.
One product we’ve come to really like are the big bags (5 lbs I think?) of chopped, diced frozen onion. Such a simple concept but sheer bloody genius! Perfect if you’re making soups/stews, casseroles, omelettes, or any other dish that calls for diced onion. Plus, all the cutting is done so no muss, no fuss and more importantly, no tears! I don’t recall seeing this type of thing at any of the larger grocery chains.
And TTFN, we haven’t tried the raw dog food yet but have talked to some who have and can’t say enough about it. If I remember, it comes frozen.
But then you’d be living in close proximity with suxster….
partying it up with pinochle on a friday night.
A friend dropped off a grocery bag of moose meat this morning. Pepperoni(which I’m dying to try), ground like hamburger, and some steaks. I want to cook it right so I can tell whether or not I really like or dislike it.
Do I defrost the steaks and bbque like beef, or should I slow cook it?
I made my first corned beef and cabbage dinner 2 nights ago! It turned out. Salty as hell, but it was actually great. I know it’s just boiled meat for 2 1/2 hours and chopped vegs for a half hour, but it’s an Adult Meal, and I’m proud of myself for doing it.
Next chapter: moose meat supper.
p
I’ve never cooked moose meat myself but I have have had it both bottled, (like a stew), and fried steaks on the stove. It tends to be a bit tough, so low and slow on a bbq or in the oven may be the way to go. You could also marinade it over night too, unless you are looking for the full-on pure moose flavour. I think it’s really good. Same texture and look as dark beef. Slightly different flavour but just as tasty in my opinion. Whichever way you choose to cook it, you GOTTA have some sautéed onions with it. Any Newfie will tell you it’s considered sacrilege if you don’t! lol
Moose pepperoni sounds AWESOME!
Corned beef and cabbage, once referred to as a ‘Maggie and Jiggs’ supper – love it! The moose meat would be worth try and you’d have a nifty pair of antlers to put on the wall – heh-heh – a buddy of mine told me that you can get buffalo ground beef but you have to travel to Moncton to get it.
The slow cooker is my best friend. Chop, dump, simmer, done.
TTFN Me too. A bit of an identity crisis.
Avasti is right the bags of precut veges are an awesome time saver while cooking.Bang on for frittata,omelets,soups,etc…
Lots of great stuff there.
P. Goat coffee?Sounds interesting.
“The slow cooker is my best friend. Chop, dump, simmer, done.”
Amen, Sister!
We do pulled pork sammies like this all the time. Buy a good boneless pork roast, dump it in the slow cooker, a bottle of your favourite rib/bbq sauce, some dried onion flakes, granulated garlic, something for some spice, (chillies or hot sauce), and some maple syrup. Let it cook all day, come home, shred, throw onto some hamburger buns et voila! Fricken’ ambrosia!!

“Why should a student not have the RIGHT to expect good value for their tuition?”
Good morning Stephen.
I absolutely agree that the student should have the RIGHT to expect good value for their tuition but – and this is the nub of the matter – just how is such “good value” to be understood?
Given the current market-driven ethos of the university it seeks, as with other corporations, to maximize its “clientele” – I have actually heard this word used in an educational context – by appealing to “customer satisfaction”. But the university and (usually private) fee-charging schools which advertize for such clientele, are NOT the usual profit-seeking corporations and so such customer satisfaction cannot be understood in the conventional fashion of “convenience”, to maintain the processed-food analogy. But if they are not the usual profit-seeking corporations, what are they?
“Good value” in the case of the university must be understood in different terms than those qualities which are extrinsic to the “product” on offer in the way that “convenience” is extrinsic to processed food conceived as food. Such “good value” in the case of the university is intrinsic to the “product” on offer i.e., the subject being studied which, above all, entails the qualities of mind that are exemplified in that study. In the case of History such qualities of mind include things like an initial coherent question which guides that study, evidential adequacy in terms in terms of which such evidence is weighed, and so on. In other words, the university is not a profit-seeking corporation at all and to frame its “product” in terms of some spurious “customer satisfaction” is to misconceive its mission.
To claim, as you have done, that such a view is “elitist” is to further confound the issue. It is to claim that intelligence, talent and effort are evenly distributed across the population. This is a fiction, a consoling fiction perhaps, but nonetheless still a fiction.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Barbequed moose met is delish. Moose meat is less fatty,ground moose meat make a barbequed hamburger.
If your on the go a slow cooker could be your best friend.
We have a slow cooker. I was hoping it would bbque, but I know different meat has different fat amounts and reacts different. Im kinda excited to see how it turns out. If the snow on the patio melts this weekend, I’ll report back.
p
they sell bison meat at local source, it’s good. i tried the emu, not so good
Moose pepperoni on toasted multigrain bread with French’s mustard-
drooooooooooool.
So good.
p
One of the wonderful benefits of getting older is that you have so much more patience cooking. In my younger days, I was always in a rush trying to balance work and family life, now I relish the time to cook a good home cooked meal. So a slow cooker is amazing and can get more veggies into you in the most tasty way.
Avast, I am going to have to try your recipe, it sounds positively mouth-watering. I add maple syrup to my beef stews to counteract the bitterness of the tomatoes I add. The best bonus is filling up the plastic containers with leftovers to freeze.
Boru, no worries about the ID crisis. Just keep on truckin’, as we used to say in the late 60s.
Hint: Don’t barbeque duck without a fire extinguisher next to the barbeque. lol
haha, and don’t deep fry a turkey near your house
set up a breading station, pound… er ‘tenderize’ the living fuck out of it
and have some chicken fried moose.
Pulled out the slow cooker not too long ago.
Definitely giving that pulled pork a go in the near future.
I’m hoping the leftovers will make easy work lunches.
I’m so sick of the caf here.
ha, a breading station. brings back memories of my apprenticeship
And never put a frozen turkey in a deep fryer unless you want to launch it in space and blow up the fryer – saw that one on ‘1000 Ways To Die’.
They’re awesome Zed, and dead easy. You’ll end up with tons of leftovers so it should help with the lunchtime doldrums.
I forgot to mention that I usually mix 2 of my fave bbq/rib sauces together and put enough in to coat the roast really well. I also put about a 1/4 cup of water in as well, just to keep things from drying out. The roast will shrink as it cooks and the fat gets rendered out and it’s going to look like you have a shit load of sauce but once you start shredding the pork and mixing it up, it should all even out.
I shred the pork right in the slow cooker but you could always pull the roast out and put into another dish, shred and add more sauce from the slow cooker as needed.
The cool thing is there is no wrong way to do it. Tweak it as needed and experiment with the spices/sauces to suit your own tastes.
Had dinner downtown last night and on the menu was a lean domestic elk burger – anyone ever try one?
Rec room gym-raised elk – probably not as tender as a domestic couch-potato elk.
Sadly, a lot of people don’t know their way around a kitchen and don’t have even the basic skills required to prepare a healthy, tasty meal.
I made a scratch meat/spinach/cottage cheese lasagna and a diabetic upside-down pineapple cake this afternoon. Time: 1.5 hours – taste: worth every second! And lots of leftovers to freeze for another day. HU cleaned up afterward as per our pre-nup – heh-heh.
It was only a few years ago that I choose to take the time and effort of homemade meals over the convenience of fast food and am glad I made the switch. I still enjoy the odd guilty pleasure, like a big ole greasy pizza but it’s no longer a weekly event.
oh no not another “put laws on people’s bodies” bitch.
Op. I am pro choice and that means that when you own the body, you own the choices and consequences.
If you’re not, fine. I’m just stating that’s what you believe.
damn i answered this twice. Owell.. Guess i’m caught up on all the bitches i missed. See you all in 3 weeks.
