Sure that's possible but it seems too... unsafe to me. And he'd be doing it with his non-dominant hand. I don't care if it's possible in that sense. To be able to do it with any kind of speed or efficiency that's something you probably have to practice. That's why I said it would be safer for him to use a revolver.
Jack Scalfani + firearm is an accident waiting to happen tbh.
US kitkats are a Hershey product, internationally they're a Nestle product. And of course Hershey is one of the worst chocolate brands on the planet as far as taste goes.
Long story short, Hershey chocolate has butyric acid in it, which tastes like vomit. Hershey doesn't add butyric acid to their chocolate, but it does come from milk going rancid(it's in other stuff too, various cheeses and things), so the general assumption is that Hershey does something to the milk they're adding to their chocolate, likely to aid in shelf stability(because butyric acid does that) but won't admit to(they don't have to) what their actual production process involves. because Hershey won't admit to how they process their milk or chocolate in general, there's all sorts of rumors/conspiracies/whatever about this, especially since most other decent chocolate brands don't have this issue. And that's before getting into the weird part about Hershey chocolate having a rubbery consistency at room temperature(also disgusting, and noticeable with a plain Hershey bar), so who knows what causes that since it isn't normal either. This would be why europeans tend to complain about american chocolate, because theirs doesn't have this shit in it.
Thanks for the information. I didn’t think about the manufacturer. I find some Hershey bars have this butyric acid problem and others don’t. Different production lots, maybe? If you grow up eating it you may not notice as much. It ceases to be noticeable if the product is cooked into anything else (like scones or cookies.)
My favorite is Cadbury fruit and nut though. It has a nice balance of flavors.
Guaranteed Jack's not going to make a change in his diet, except cutting out all those icky fruit and veggies. Still going to douse everything in BBQ sauce, still going to get burgers on Fat on the Go, still going to have his Scrooge Christmas or whatever the fuck gimmick this year's is where everything is soaked in booze and powdered sugar.
Then again, he meant he's only going to be 'leaning' carnivore.
I think Jack’s underestimated how much he will crave things off the diet if he takes this up. I’ve looked at similar “elimination diets” that basically say no starch, no legumes, no sugar, no dairy products, no booze, no cured meats like bacon, no “unhealthy fat” (which means trendy avocados and beef fat is OK but corn oil is not, which I just find confusing.) if I took that diet I’d basically be allowed to have green/non starchy veg, eggs, and meat, and I’m not even sure what oils I’d be allowed to cook them in.
If Jack is serious about this meat-only diet I think he would find himself cheating constantly because of carb cravings.
I’ll digress a little into why these diets “work” (or at least, why you don’t die from following them.) Sugar is the energy currency of the body, and the easiest way to get sugar is by breaking down carbs into their constituent sugars in the liver. But if you go on some crazy “elimination diet” that prevents you from eating anything containing carbs or sugars, then your body turns to fat and protein to make sugar in a process called gluconeogenesis. Basically your liver plays Lego with the fat and protein molecules to make them into sugar (with ketones as a byproduct of this provees, hence the name “keto diet.”) This process costs more energy than just dividing long chain carbs into shorter sugar molecules, so it burns energy to keep you alive. So theoretically, if your calorie intake stays about the same or slightly less than normal, you would be in a deficit because your body is obligated to use this pathway to get the sugar it needs to survive.
Unfortunately the whole thing can go pear-shaped if you slip up and have say, a cappuccino, because then your liver will stop the gluconeogenesis until it’s totally out of dietary carbs. And since I’m not sure Jack is good at distinguishing what has carbs and what doesn’t, he’s just going to be bingeing on high fat meat while still consuming enough carbs to prevent him from being on any kind of ketogenic state.
The guy would be better off getting on GLP-1 agonist like Ozempic, but I’m not a doctor, and I suspect he would have already been offered meds like that, and either he chooses not to take them (because they all cause GI side fx) or he’s terrible with adherence.
I meant hit with the gun. Last I checked here in AK, you're not allowed to keep your roadkill. If anything is salvageable, it gets given to families on a subsistance list. It's to help prevent poaching. Same if you have to kill a bear in self defense, you don't get to keep anything. You're supposed to call it in. Not that anything other than fear of johnny law makes you call it in, I suppose. I will say that I have had plenty of fine deer roadkill in my time when I was a wee lad in VA, though.
No needy family wants to eat some red neck’s roadkill, and no USDA plant is going to certify it. So afaik in this situation there’s no reason not to take it yourself, and just don’t invite the lawman over for your all-venison feast next week.
Ok disgusting TMI I know, but I tried eating my lunch like him by sticking out my tongue like some prehensile horror. I almost choked myself as bringing the tongue in brought the unchewed food to back of the throat. It also was too much food at one time.
I have no idea how someone could regularly eat by doing this.
His dysphagia makes eating like that more comfortable somehow than just eating normally.
