Pancakes

Margarine is bad in a spectacularly ugly way - not only it's not healthier (hydrogenated fats are bad, read yer google) but it tastes worse!
I mean, okay, bacon is bad for health, but at least it's tasty, what do you people get out of margarine?
I say, stick to natural products, your body has evolved (or was designed
, YMMV) to optimally process them!
If you want (dietary-wise) non-cholesterol (i.e. of plant origin) fats, consume them unmodified, i.e. cold-pressed olive oil instead of doubly-refined sunflower or soy oils.
Unless you're lactose intolerant, full-fat milk and butter are tasty and nutritious and go well with pancakes (but I admit, I use chocolate spread on mine - I know it's artificial as hell, but at least it's tasty!). You can control your callory intake with more movement AND yet eat those tasty high-octane foods

Non-fat for me. When I wrestled in high school that is all we drank. It didn't take long to want only non-fat. Anything fatter is, like onion said, like drinking cream.onion2k wrote:I can't drink that any more. Years of semi-skimmed, and some more years of skimmed, have made me prefer low fat milk. Full-fat is like drinking cream.Mordred wrote:full-fat milk
That explains a lot, especially all those cream head pictures from days past...Cream Eating Ninja Boy wrote:I like my milk to require a spoon

Milk is great for muscle-strength-demanding sports, mainly because of the protein and calcium content. Full fat milk is indeed like cream, and liking milk so thick you need a spoon, well, I'm almost throwing up right now.
Frijj is the thickest milk-based product I've had, and although it's nice (it's flavoured) I can't drink more than a pint without feeling very bloated/sick; with semi-skimmed milk I can drink it all day and still feel good

I should qualify my previous statement about 'that was all we drank'. It should have said something along the lines of 'when we drank something, and it happened to be dairy, it was non-fat'. I remember days on end of lettuce cups, powerbars and water. Then scarking like a savage right after weigh-ins. Ahh, those were the days.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:Everah! You wrestled?? Awesome! Wresting is a man's sport fo sho! I wrestled for 10 years. We didn't even drink milk.... water and nutrient shakes only.

Except when all the hot girls see you completely dominate the hell out of someone else they though was hot, then they clamor all over you because you are so much more manly than that sorry sack of shiznit that you just painted the math with. It may be weird looking as a sport, but it certainly had it's benefits (and I'm not just talking about the girls).onion2k wrote:Yes.

Ok, that's a lie.
