No, the Odin primitive, who's riding in the first-class section of the social security disability gravy-train, his ticket paid for by the rest of us, isn't talking about dropping some of his ample surplus poundage, alas.

I'm trying to reduce how much meat I eat. One problem: meat cravings.
No matter how much I read about the horrible conditions inside feedlots and slaughterhouses it just won't break my craving for meat. Would trying those v****e-burgers and other faux-meat products work?
God, I wish they would hurry up with the meat grown in a lab thing...

1. don't use "substitutes" just ditch all that stuff....
get a rice cooker with a steamer tray that fits on top (like for cooking chinese buns etc). use brown rice which takes longer too cook.
fill the tray with chopped v*****s you like, while the rice cooks underneath the veggies will steam at the same time, saving you electricity as well. with practice you learn when to put which veggies in at what time so they don't over cook. Voila, one pot meal that can be varied endlessly.
by the way a rice cooker can cook anything that has liquids enough. cookers shut off when liquid evaporates and the temperature shoots up so as long there is enough liquid the cooker keeps cooking

2. Getting off sugar is much harder for me. I recently joined the Type 2 club and......
walking past the chocolate easter eggs and Peeps has been most unpleasant.

6. I tend towards hypoglycemia, so I have the opposite problem.
I have to graze on carbs throughout the day otherwise I get tired and lightheaded.
Okay, stupid question from franksolich.
Is "hypoglycemia" a fancy name for "diabetes"?
One needs a medical-to-English dictionary to understand what the primitives are yapping about.

3. I used to be a vegetarian and don't eat much meat now (drs. orders).
However, some brands of meat can be traced to the source. In my area a lot of the meat and chicken is locally produced, so it's not too hard to check up if the animals are raised and killed humanely, which is an alternative to going vegetarian. I believe you can find websites with this information.
Also, I found eating bread, cooked grains and pasta help give you a full feeling as well as beans. My favorite cooked grain is grits, believe it or not. They are filling and tasty.
^^^quite possibly the oldest, most ancient, primitive on Skins's island, by the way.

9. High-fiber food is very filling for, but it sometimes gives me a stomachache...
...when it hits my intestines.
The problem isn't feeling full, it's that I crave the taste and texture of meat. Oddly enough, many traditional societies in the Amazon and New Guinea have a distinct word for "meat-hunger" because game is infrequent in dense tropical forest, so it's not just me, LMAO!!!
Uh oh.
Never mind; the sissy-boy Odin primitive's being hypochondrial.
<<friend of fiber and roughage.
At the end of the campfire, this:

31. Try eating fish instead of meat. Fish are less sentient.
Then reduce the amount of fish that you eat.
Eat more pizza and have a beer with it. That's better than meat.

32. "Fish are less sentient" Ummm...what?
When did "sentient" become a definition for idiots to play about with?
Sorry, but now you're ****ing with my beliefs/religion.
