Err I think that's more coincidence than anything. I am highly doubtful that's the actual causation.

According tho this, if a woman found herself in a famine state at 9 months, then she wouldn't give birth until more food was eaten? That's not how it works.

If you eat more butter than you can absorb, you'll still absorb a LOT of it, as much as your body can, which will be more than you need.

Sure, you can eat so much that you eventually shit it out. But most people don't eat THAT much. They still eat way more than they have any need to.

You seem to dwell on total fringe scenarios that have little bearing on what 99% of the population is actually experiencing. Stop bothering me with that shit.

Next you're going to tell me water is dangerous because you can also drink too much of it.

Just to point something out. I don't think they are not smart for writing such misleading reports, they just need to put food on the table. What I mean is - the politics forces them to lie for money. It happens far more often than you think, especially in time of economical struggles and crisis. They could grow a pair, though, lose the (additional?) income (bribe?) and be truthful to themselves for once. Doing that certainly has its own merits.

Sure, you can overload your system.

How much fat does the average person have to eat to actually hit that limit?

Certainly enough to put on SIGNIFICANT amounts of weight, and on a day-to-day basis, the vast majority (if not all) calories consumed are absorbed by the average person.

The underlying point is if you're eating huge amounts of a macro nutrient, don't expect to piss or shit out what you don't 'need'. The vast majority of it WILL remain in your body.

And that birthing 'fact' sounds extremely unlikely too. They can literally tell you what DAY you're likely to give birth based on the stage of development. If what you said were true, there'd be huge variations, not a pretty standard 9 months.

I've never heard 'eat more for a few days and you'll give birth'.

I can't believe the nonsense that gets posted. Is that you RFK Jr?!

I hope someone marks this as funny, because that's a hilariously ignorant take.

If we just excreted unused calories, obesity would be unheard of.

Excess protein is mostly converted to fat or partially carbs. Calories in, if unused, get stored. Happens with all macro nutrients.

If your urine is even remotely 'thick', it's not protein or anything you're likely to say, it's dehydration, or something much more concerning.

Good. Fucking. Grief.

You haven't been on a fitness forum for a while then.

The obsession with protein by some (many?) is kind of insane, trying to get 40g+ each meal, plus shakes on top of that, exceeding 200g per day.

Also, don't forget protein recommendations are for lean body mass, not total body mass. There are online calculators for this, and your lean body mass is a lot lower than you'd think, meaning you really don't need all that much protein, even for athletes.

Glad to see this research coming out, I've been wondering what this excess would result in, knowing it can't possibly be good.

What are you talking about?

There are all sorts of options for dealing with beavers. I've helped build flow devices that solves flooding problems. (Beavers don't like the sound of flowing water and try to stop it...but if you can fence off where that happens with a very simple flow device, then problem solved.)

Details here as just one example: https://thefurbearers.com/our-...

And as a general rule of thumb, and idiots like this will never learn: you can't kill your way out of wildlife issues.

More will always return to fill the empty space.

However we can find ways to co-exist and use our supposed 'bigger brains' to outmaneuver them. Imagine that. It'll be no different in the Netherlands. Thankfully they're a protected species there. The Dutch figured out how to live under the water level, surely they can outsmart some beavers.

Absolutely, yes, and "Beyond" products are meant for omnivores or (former omnivores?) vegetarians who still like to have a plant-based burger. I have no desire for the taste of meat in any form, but especially so processed form. I make my own burgers sometimes, when the schedule is tight, from green lentils and mixed veg. Good, healthy stuff, actually.

Comment Re:Breaking news (Score 1) 222

As a vegetarian since high school (I'm 55), I don't eat processed food and I see "beyond" as "beyond processed" food. A lot of vegans and vegetarians I know eat healthy home-made food, and don't even consider eating these heavily processed options unless being forced to. That's why it's unsuccessful imho. Who is it for? Those who can't cook and don't mind eating processed food, which is less and less popular with omnivores, too. Nothing tastes as good as home made burger, vegan, vegetarian, or omnivoreian.
