The Blue Board

Sounds like you're not using the right kind of lettuce. Try some red romaine or even some arugula in place of lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is completely awful.

that's all ill have on a sandwich. Just doesn't taste right without 3 or 4 benjamins on it. Sure, it makes the 5 dollar foot long a bit more pricy, but its worth it.

I like it on these $1 chicken sandwiches from BK and Wendy's. Adds a little crisp.

Why do people put tomatoes on anything is the real question. That shit is awful

A sandwhich is just a salad enclosed in bread. You could put the bread on the side and have it with a salad topped with the meat of your choice. My question is who thought of putting a salad on bread? Bread adds a ridiculous amount of sugar, carbs and salt to an otherwise healthy meal. White Bread is one of the main causes of out of control blood sugar levels also known as diabetes.

On the lettuce, it was probably one of the following:

1) Old guy: Metamucil wasn't out yet.
2) Someone didn't like it when they started putting whale intestines in processed meat and calling it turkey. Wanted to break up the consistency and flavor a bit.
3) You're just weird and lettuce is actually good on sandwiches.

I heard some guy in the 1900's was taking a 30-40 minute shower and the idea popped in his head during that relaxing shower.

I read it in a book called "a China study" which I a book relating protien consumption to cancer. In the book he relates a 10oz steak to 10oz of spinach. The spinach had a higher protien value then the steak. Obviously it takes a lot of spinach to equal 10oz, but I believe it.

Ha ha. Part of my doctoral dissertation was detailing the fallacies of Dr. Campbell's "China Study." The biggest pile of veganism propaganda BS ever, and literally the worst bit of "science" I have ever come across.

As I haven't actually done the research myself, and how much protein is spinach I base it off what I have read. Your post is correct. There is more protein value in 10oz of beef vs 10oz of spinach.

Where I went wrong was thinking that calories translated to weight. For example there is more protein in 100 calories of spinach than there is in 100 calories of beef. That was my fault. The two don't translate. As far as what I have read spinach is roughly 30% protein, and beef is 40% protein. The thing is you can eat more spinach and have less calorie intake then beef. Therefore resulting in a higher intake of protein. But if they were the same weight then the beef would be higher, like you pointed out. Upvoted you for the stats.

For starters http://rawfoodsos.com/2010/07/07/the-china-study-fact-or-fallac/. Campbell has gotten absolutely owned in debates with people who actually know nutrition (Minger, Chris Masterjohn, Anthony Colpo, Malcolm Kendrick, Walter Willett). It is what is known as "parking lot science". He made massive stretches with the data he collected, when you actually break it down none of it supports his premise. I am not at all against veganism, but Campbell's study is a complete joke in the nutrition and epidemiology worlds.

I became vegan long before reading the book, but I thought that the link between a meat and dairy less diet to a decrease in cancer was intriguing. Are you saying the research he did regarding that link is false, or he stretched the truth? Or were you referring to other parts of the book?

No flame I am really interested.
