Did you eat pork and beef everyday?

Definitely no beef, not sure how often for pork. Looking at some black and white photos of myself in the teens, practically skin covering a skeleton.
No doubt, this is very common.
Yes, I plan to manage them when I am leaving my current job.
I get the sense that you want to test me or catch me in a lie. No need to. Please keep in mind that some of us here hide behind fake names and that can be a double edged sword. That can mean people will be BSing all day long or if you are like me, will give it to you straight (no water) since I do have that mask to hide behind. I generally never lie to anyone who asks me a direct question and if I did misrepresent something it may have just been a pure mistake on my part.
This is my theory but I have found compadres who feel the same way about life. When you lose a parent fairly early in life, you tend to understand the mystery, cruelty and finality of life and then you react accordingly by enjoying each day as it comes and definitely donât look too far ahead. You definitely donât take BS from anyone. One of my best friends who lives and owns in PA lost his dad too at an early age. When we both learned that we shared that, it was not a coincidence that we hit it off the first time we met and we will be solid brothers to the very end.
I ate iguanas, howâs that? 
Donât tell meâŚtastes like chicken 
Delicious!
Did I tell you that once I was going from town to town selling sodas and beers? I grew up with this family who had that business.
So, one day we ended up at the very bottom of my country, at the Pacific ocean, a small kind of hamlet little, very little town. It was in the morning, there was this lady in the entrance of the town, many roads went by so she had a pretty good business. The lady served food for several people, like a restaurant without a building. She had black beans, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, chicken, and some kind of fish marinated with eggs, you know, they dip the thing into the eggs when they are liquid and put it on a pan and fry it.
I loved that fish. I repeated it 3 times. Then we started to pay. âOK, you ate black beans and eggs, you ate this and thatâ you owe me this much. When she asked me what I ate, I told her black beans and fish. She said, what fish?
She forgot to warn me that the âfishâ was a delicacy only for one of her best clients whom never showed up. It was one of those big snakes, like a boa. 
Who cares! It was delicious!
Python tastes like chicken.

Come on, Asians will eat anything practically that moves. I recall my parents buying live turtles to make some healthy or medicinal soup as a kid. Not a big deal since everyone eats snails (French) or escargot but that is something I picked up liking from my folks. Now, these are grown sea snails and not the garden variety ones of yesteryear. Even though I am Chinese, one thing I wonât eat at dim sum places is chicken feet. I know some people like it and I know the historic origins of it (people were poor and since businesses were giving them away free or something like that, chinese people gladly took it in and voila there you have a common dish now).

Humans will do this. Of any ethnicity or race. Itâs how we evolved such large brains. More protein than most and the ability to survive on almost anything.

Well, those poor turtles might disagree. For them, it is a big deal!

Itâs also a Portuguese delicacy for the same reasons. Poor people gotta each something!

Thatâs also the history of BBQ in the Americas. For instance, pork ribs were the part of the pig that the landed gentry didnât mess with. So, they gave them to their slaves and hired help when the pigs were butchered. Who in turn, applied the technique of barbacoa that they had brought with them from the West Indies. Slow, low temperature roasting tough cuts of meat to make them tender and lots of spices to either add flavor to blandness or more likely, to overpower the off flavor of decay and rot.
Today, we consider BBQ pork ribs to be an American delicacy. Iâll bet those slaves of old are laughing their arses off at us.
According to some authoritative publications, human brains become bigger and smarter because we eat cooked food. Cooked is easier and shorter to digest, hence smaller stomach and extra energy (protein if you like or glucose) is diverted to develop our brain.
I eat mostly salad for lunch. Are you saying I am getting dumber and dumber???

If you can live longer than a few thousand years. Well, I would deem youâre 2000 years old if you keep quoting me out of implied context.
I believe my Filipino friends told me that they make the dog eat rice for a few days to cleanse its stomach, then, they time the last meal so when they open its stomach the rice is fresh, like a delicacyâŚhold on, let me go to the bathroomâŚ
Eat Scottish cuisine it will make you taller, tooâŚlol
It all started back in 1967 with a man named Den Fujita, who at the time was a businessman who sold imported bags and shoes to the Japanese public. But Fujita was growing tired of the importing business, and saw an opportunity to make some serious cash after finding out about the success of the McDonaldâs franchise in the United States. In 1971, Fujita launched his McDonaldâs franchise in Japan, with a very unique marketing statement.
Burgers Will Make Your Hair Blonde
As documented by the 1995 book McDonaldâs Behind the Arches, Fujita stated:
âThe reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for two thousand years⌠If we eat McDonaldâs hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white, and our hair blonde.â
Thatâs a Hell of a marketing claim right there. And it worked.
McDonaldâs Japan has now launched over 3,800 locations, rakes in about $4 billion a year, and Fujita went on to live off the investment until his retirement in 2003. In fact, he made off with a 25% stake in McDonaldâs Japan that was valued at $674 million. He even received a retirement bonus of $24 million. Perhaps by then his hair and skin became a bit lighter from all of the burgers and fries. Does it make your hair blonde and increase your height, as the McDonaldâs Japan founder originally claimed?
God, we should merge this thread with my really popular roach milk threadâŚ
manch:
I eat mostly salads for dinner. Itâs because Iâm getting fatter and fatter! 
Well Elt1, there is also ample evidence that the average size of normally smaller stature people descended from other cultures, become larger with each generation that lives in the U.S.
Abundance createsâŚwell, cornucopia.
I lost 40 pounds just by eating salad for lunch, and cutting down on meat and processed carb. No exercise.
