I just Googled “garburator” and never realized that’s what Canadians called garbage disposals…sort of like some United Staters call them “Dispos-Alls” (which is a brand name - G.E., if I’m not mistaken).
I like it.. Sounds like a fuel delivery system for a car that runs on garbage (a garbage carburetor = “garburator”)…
@Nabuquduriuzhur: Almost no meats and fats. Protein is still extremely important, but you can get it from other sources: green vegetables, beans, nuts, etc.
It used to be SOP for mothers. Waste not, want not.
But Nab’s got it right. Nutrititionists in this country are shills for one or another food refiner or producers; the government’s dietary recommendations have nothing to do with good nutrition. If you eat what is in season, you won’t go far wrong. A little research will tell you what is in season if you don’t know.
This is why one particular cousin of mine is so overweight. Her 10 year old son is such a picky eater that he might eat a half-a-dozen bites of something on his plate and that’s it, he’s done. So she ends up not only eating what’s on her plate, she finishes off his plate too so that it doesn’t go to waste (when actually, she should be concerned about it all going to her waist!).
I myself don’t this and I don’t understand why anybody else would do it either. I’d much rather throw the food away then either be overweight or kill myself through diet and exercise trying to take it all back off again. And let’s face it: the older you get, the harder it is to do that!

Stuff and nonsense- if SHE is mad, SHE can sleep elsewhere. ‘Hubby on the couch’ is SUCH a sexist cliche.

If it’s “good food”, you should be enjoying it.

So good that even Farley won’t eat it.

Is a Garburator a garbage disposal?
Really, Elly, just because it’s there doesn’t mean you have to eat it.
John’s comment wasn’t bad, it’s the annoying grin afterwards that’s annoying. I wonder if Lynn emphasized it on purpose.

I think Atkins, done correctly, can delivery plenty of vitamins and minerals. http://weightoftheevidence.blogspot.com/2007/06/week-in-review.html

Next time say it’s “Chicken Surprise”.
When they say that it doesn’t taste like chicken nor can they see any chicken, you yell “SURPRISE!”
yeah, i know, that was bad.

I wrote a diet book once. It only had three pages. Pg1 - Eat Less Pg2 - Exercise More Pg3 - Repeat as necessary.
Publisher wouldn’t touch it.

Anyone remember Jack LaLanne?
He’s still going strong at 90 something.

Our bodies still are more neolithic despite some of the changes since then.
Too bad they’re not more athletic as well….
