@alacrity the waste of good (or mediocre, or heck any) rum?

Exercise milkshake
One thing I want in cocktails
It should be chewy

@alacrity don’t waste your tequila on Vega margaritas either.

@growyoungagain nope- there is no way a chocolate or vanilla margarita will work.

@ybmuG hey, it’s the only thing that makes juice cleanses worthwhile

@replicacobra @ybmuG exercise? hell, I’m just trying to make it worth drinking

@alacrity @replicacobra

I’m just trying to make it worth drinking

Seems like a fool’s errand

@alacrity @ybmuG
Make it worth drinking
Make the knife worth being stabbed
Dying worth the death

@ShotgunX I don’t drink a ton of plant-based protein powder, but the all-in-one is surprisingly drinkable.
It’s still a plant-based protein powder, so you have to set expectations accordingly, but it’s way better than any soy-based protein powder I’ve tried. I had to dilute the Iced Coffee protein+caffeine powder because it was way, way too sweet.
They didn’t over-do it with the fake sweeteners in the chocolate all-in-one and the product is much easier to consume because of it. I’m probably going to buy four more.

@ShotgunX Gut health, it’s more like gut hell. I had inulin in a nutrition bar about 5 hrs ago. Still waiting for the pain to subside so I can eat dinner.

@growyoungagain @ShotgunX Inulin is not good. I’ve gone low carb and in a lot of the products they put that stuff in. I will say, everything is moving along a lot faster, but I’m not enjoying (nor is anyone else) the airy farts.

@finalremix Well, lead is an organic material.

Are you active?

@ShotgunX Pretty much, but evidently too old to build muscle mass. Walk a few miles a day and use some light weights about 3 times a week.

Pea protein is high in purines resulting in excess uric acid. You have to drink massive amounts of water to wash it out. I’m burning the protein instead of building with it.

@growyoungagain What the hell is wrong with your body that flax does that? That’s like the least offensive thing in these

@Telanis Lots of major GI issues. I have a very delicate system. Flaxseed can have a laxative effect for many.

@growyoungagain @pmarin
The rest may not cost
But ceaseless oblivion

@hchavers If you drink this, I can promise you that you will have a bloated gut.

@growyoungagain
For some reason that is one of the episodes I remember to this day. That, and the chocolate factory one.

@pmarin Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory-Classic!

@bjango Honestly for things like this I don’t worry too much about expiration date. If stored at a constant moderate temp, I don’t really think they degrade significantly and certainly won’t become “bad” (not like old milk in the fridge). Once opened, then moisture and air gets in and then yes best to keep using it up at a moderate pace.

@bjango The Chocolate is a new batch actually that is best by 12/13/21, whereas the last batch was best by 9/18/21. The Gut Health is the same batch as last time.

@troy oops my bad. Boy, I really need to get going on the last order.

@Not_Bot_Not the chocolate can be a meal replacement because it has a lot of added vitamins. The orange is just a protein boost with added probiotics… prebiotics?

@bjango @Not_Bot_Not If I am in favor of prebiotics, am I proprebiotics?

@Telanis Not all fiber is the same.

@Telanis Inulin can really affect some people negatively. Google it. It’s not that we aren’t eating fiber.

@Fuzzalini @Telanis sure, if “some people” have ibs. everyone else should be just fine.

and lolz @ people complaining about this (farts) anyway… regarding protein powder.

@cwolfpack3 … Hmm, seems like you are like me about throwing stuff out. “I don’t want it, and won’t use it, but it hasn’t expired yet. I guess I’ll wait till then so I can throw it out!”

And what if there’s a pandemic and it’s all you have?

Oh wait…

@axemurderer Inulin can really affect some people negatively. Google it.

@Fuzzalini “some”

but yeah, i’m sure all but 2 of us here are afflicted by this grave condition. /s

i’d bet most of you would drink shakes with/without inulin and not notice a difference/be able to tell which has the dreaded chicory.

i saw some other brainiacs fearmonger about… flax, so… it’s a pretty safe bet.

@axemurderer @Fuzzalini There’s always that one guy who goes off on the “I never had any issues so that must mean that you’re all unhealthy” rant. Usually a very close associate of the “I had the COVID and I’m completely fine so what are all of you so afraid of?” guy.

@Fuzzalini @ShotgunX

lolz, since you (plural) fearmongered about chicory, en masse. i’m sure you each had problems with chicory, though. /s

and no, not just me. me, my gf, and 2 lifting buddies. but i guess the 5 of us just have some uncanny immunity, since this is such an epidemic. or perhaps we were fine because we didn’t read these silly comments prior… the horror!

@axemurderer @Fuzzalini Then I guess you’re either an Übermensch, or you’ve rammed so many drugs, antibiotics, and food preservatives up your asshole that you’ve nuked your gut flora into oblivion. Most of the population reacts strongly to large doses of prebiotic fibers.

Also, you’re being way too modest on the internet. There’s no way that someone who’s the pinnacle of health and virility that the rest of us mud-covered masses should aspire to has just one girlfriend.

@Fuzzalini @ShotgunX well, duh. but the other gfs didn’t try this.

and i looked into it and it seems that the only people that should have issues with chicory are those with ibs. so either 90% of meh are already farting like crazy with chronic ibs… or are just lying/parroting bullshit.

and lolz @ “large doses.” a scoop is only 28g and the main ingredient is pea protein. 10g of inulin shouldn’t do shit to healthy people… and there’s probably less than 10g per scoop, anyway.

@axemurderer @Fuzzalini So, what exactly is the end-game argument here? That all these people with this issue should just man up and eat the stuff anyway because IBS is their fault? Or that so many people are lying about this because of some kind of collective, memetic desire to be drama queens in this specific manner for some reason? Or that this is some kind of deep-state conspiracy to neutralize inulin producers, who are the sole remaining bastions of truth and integrity in our illuminati-dominated society? Throw us a bone here, Mr. Six-Pack McFuccboi.

@Fuzzalini @ShotgunX i’m accusing most of you of lying, that’s all.

it’s statistically unlikely (understatement) that everyone here bitching about inulin has ibs.

@axemurderer @Fuzzalini I don’t have IBS, and if I eat even half of a single Fiber One bar, I turn into one of those old-timey steam locomotives. What possible motive would I have for lying about this? Did Big Chicory kill my grandma, and hurting their business by claiming their product causes gas is the only way I can get back at them?

Dude, get out of here with your bro science. All fermentation creates gas. You got lucky (if this is even something that can be considered luck) that your particular strains of gut bacteria don’t metabolize this type of fiber, so you don’t get the side effects. Or maybe your rectum is so large and you have so little self awareness that you don’t even notice yourself flap like a deflating air balloon.

From the few posts you’ve made, you sound like the kind of person who grunts and throws weights in the gym, so I’m kind of leaning toward the latter.

@Fuzzalini @ShotgunX " I don’t have IBS, and if I eat even half of a single Fiber One bar, I turn into one of those old-timey steam locomotives. What possible motive would I have for lying about this?"

you tell me, i’m not the one lying on the internet.

lolz @ the nih being “bro science.”

@MrNews “chemicals”

@axemurderer @MrNews Hey don’t tarnish the good name of Monsanto corp!

@axemurderer @pmarin

As Homer Simpson probably said: “Mmmm- chemicals…”

@axemurderer @MrNews … and they cut off the diagram right before the good parts!

[ew that sounds creepy… yes, a woman is all good parts!]

@pmarin Eh, I’m not sure about the “all good parts” bit. Like, I’m just not very fond of their spleens, for example.
