Why do we eat?

[Yamaneko]

Well, unless you start doing Taebo while you're eating, most of your ATP is produced within the Mitochondria.

[Del Murder]

I had a friend who drove a Mitochondria. It was cramped, but it got damn good gas mileage.

[Denmark]

how big is the gas molecule in comparison to the Mitochondria?

I eat so I can produce Spam.

Necronopticious preaches it hardcore.
I mean, take a large can of beans and a chocolate bar. The chocolate bar has around 370 kcals shall we say, and weighs 70g. The can of beans contains the same amount of calories, but weighs in at around 420g (excluding can) and will fill you up for (probably) considerably longer than the bar. It's so easy to pwn the daily calorie intake limit, and if you semi-consciously go about not to, you get deemed titles such as "health freak" and "flamenco dancer" (moreso the first).

I eat so my legs don't fall off.

I eat for science!

You may deem me crazy, but yes, I purposely feed myself differant amounts of calories everyday, with differant types of food, weigh/check my blood sugar/do other tests inorder to determine what side-effects occur with the intake of ceartain properties. Simply put i've made myself into a ginnie pig..

Result one: The less carbs I eat, the more energetic I feel. The goverment lies to you!

Sugar=White powder that conceivably gos directly into your bloodstream and your body "prefers" it..
Cocaine=White powder that runs through your bloodstream quickly and your body grows to like/want more of it quite fast..

Quincidence? This is how capitalism floruishes fools! They keep you on the strings of starch!

Fish and pultry have the same antioxidants as any fruit, but they tell you "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" not "gobble up a turkey jerky"..

One lemon has 150% of your vitamic C needs, ONE!! And yet the media is always brainwashing you with "drink your OJ durr!"

Calcium? Think Popeye man.. Cabbage, Spinach, Broccoli, these are the real bone-builders.. PETA was onto something when they said milk wasn't as good for you as claimed, they just went about it the wrong way..

I won't even put butter/margarine on anything anymore. Everyone just assumes trans-fat equals bad because it's a fat. WRONG!! Trans-fat equals an unsaturated fat that was mutated by man-made means.. immagine a boat shaped molocule being transformed into a chair-shaped. That's about the just of "trans-fatty acids"..

Carbs do not make you fat, they are just highly addictive and you should eat them sparingly..
Fat does not make you fat, they are just more dense in calories per gram and you can quickly forget how much you are consuming..

Infact because the average human being is more of a monkey then anything. (Even as far as brains go..) i think they should re-name "fat" IE: your beer belly or his manboobs into "leptin". Both mean the same thing but this way "fat" gets asscosiated with the calorie type and "leptin" gets asscosiated with the health risk..

And to think, I use to be both an obease person AND an annerexic.. now I'm just a smurfed up health-fanatic who realizes we need to be liberated not from terrorism or some bullcrap like that but from our own evil nature..

And yes, I still like candy. I just make sure when we go to pick out a bar I always get an Atkins Advantage and rant about how they need to put'em in the school vendors. (I take GED classes now..)

[boris no no]

too much biology!!

i'm starting to remember the horrid years of a-levels...noooooooooooooooo

[Peegee]

I eat because I'm fat!

[Tasura]

i eay because if i dont, ill start to eat something else, anything around me.

[Peegee]

I guess a more honest answer why I eat is because I'm an uncaring male oppressor who internalised my anger and rationalised it as socially acceptable behaviour.

...nope, I still like my fat answer.

[Quina]

I see I have already spoken in this thread.

[Jojee]

It's okay to speak twice xD

I.E.

I eat to be beautiful!

[amratis]

I eat because food is good and...um...tastey. Mmmmm, I'm hungry now actually *runs off to eat something* Food is so good sometimes

[Quina]

In that case I eat to gain new abilities.

[Montoya]

I eat becaue if I don't my tummy hurts. *yummy food* *rubs tummy*. Damn I'm getting fat.

[sephiroth JR]

i see my belly as a bed it keeps me warm and the more i eat the bigger it gets right now im sleeping in a double...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........
