Uhhh Powerman. I like this forum, and there are some serious food people on here, but let's be honest. This was started to get the food related topic off of the OT, not to discuss the finer things food related. It's attracted those who are of that mindset, but that's not the majority of posters on this board by any stretch, and certainly not the ones who pop on here to discuss hamburgers every day all day any day pick the day.
Dear posters of the Food and Drink Board,
I think you're all ghetto trash and I'm superior to you in every way.
Sincerely,

And wal mart is also a retail center. Many people aren't even there to grocery shop.
The Walmart I'm referring to is a grocery store Walmart. There's no other non food related retail there besides maybe the pharmacy part of the store.

And there it is, the all too typical names when you run out of game. Powerman, you're smarter than that. Try to debate like an adult. You're a college graduate for goodness sake.

Get it back down to levels from 1905 for 50 years and I think we'll see a few changes in the cancer rates
Please, just back away from the keyboard.
quote:
U.S. cancer death rates decreased by 1.8 percent per year in men and by 1.6 percent per year in women from 2004 and 2008, the American Cancer Society says.
The report, Cancer Statistics 2012, said over the past 10 years of available data from 1999 to 2008 cancer death rates declined in men and women of every racial/ethnic group with the exception of American Indians, among whom rates have remained stable.
In addition, the report said from 2004 to 2008, overall cancer incidence rates declined by 0.6 percent per year in men and were stable in women. ...
The most rapid declines in death rates occurred among African-American men at 2.4 percent and Hispanic men at 2.3 percent. Death rates continue to decline for all four major cancers -- lung, colorectal, breast and prostate -- with lung cancer accounting for almost 40 percent of the total decline in men and breast cancer accounting for 34 percent of the total decline in women.
Not all cancers are in decline; pancreatic cancer appears to be increasing in incidence (which researchers believe may be linked to U.S. obesity rates), along with HPV induced throat cancers.
The near universal decline in mortality and incidence rates across genders and ethnic groups is a testament to the U.S. commitment to more innovative medicines - frequently targeted at the genetic abnormalities in cancer - and diagnostics, which can help catch cancers early enough to treat more successfully.

Is that just beef? It's all animal protein by the way. Dairy, beef, chicken, etc.
I don't have a care for what others do really. I know what I do for my family and that is, we eat less meat and more veggies. My wife and I eat very, very little meat and if we do it's turkey.
My kids eat plant based protein, beans, potatoes, meatless chicken nuggets and some chicken. They do drink milk......for now.

You talking about the market on highland?
They have one of those in Kenner and they have a lot of other stuff such as paper plates, cleaners etc. that you would expect to find in any supermarket.

No I'm not. I just know stupidity when I see it. You're being ridiculous and you know it.
You're judging people going into a store that you've never entered by your own admission. I can tell you there are plenty of organic products in those wal mart stores.

That is not at ALL what I said or meant, or alluded to, or in some deep secret part of me believe to be the case.
I just told you how this board came into existence, and it's fact. It's a spinoff of the OT, and tigerdroppings in general Powerman is an LSU based website, not a foodie website. People came on here initially to talk about LSU or sports in general, and they like everyone else, likes to eat and like to talk about it, but everyone likes to eat Powerman. That doesn't make every poster on here a foodie, but I'd say it does make it a decent sampling of the average joe out there.

That's the only info that was posted. I didn't do any other research on the topic myself...
I'm not about to individually research all of this stuff. But with beef being one of the most commonly consumed meats I'd have to think a decline in meat consumption might point to declines elsewhere. Who knows.

And let me guess, you're eating tons of processed carbohydrates and think that that is perfectly fine?

And that's just insane
Particularly with the emphasis that this region of the country has on demanding high quality food.
The food and drink board on tigerdroppings in no way represents the sentiments of the general public regarding food knowledge, dining habits, or anything under the umbrella of food and drink.

Why would you guess that? Doesn't really sound like it's part of his routine from what he posted.

Not TVs or the like Powerman. It's a grocery store.

Yeah, there's organic products in Walmarts, and there is some of the product that turns, I have no doubt, but Walmart isn't as much catering to the desires of their base as they are in trying to counter the claims made against them. It's as much about good PR as it is anything else.

They provide organic food because a contingent of the general public wants it.
It's that simple.

Because typically vegetarians eat a lot of carbs because vegetables are not very filling and won't keep you feeling very full for long.

Pretty chart, but many, many types of cancers have rates that are increasing. Globally, cancer rates are doubling. Cancer rates for women have dramatically increased as their weights have increased......uuuuuhhhh, diet-induced cancer.

Besides NOLA proper and maybe Laffy, name the regions that demand high quality food, and in this case I suppose you mean ORGANIC?
Nevermind.... MY BAD... We are all living in a food mecca, tigerdroppings.com is a foodie site, and Walmart shoppers demand organic food.
I'm just soooooo in the dark.

They provide organic food because they've taken HELL over their food by food people and so had to take action to assist in improving their image, and to silence their critics. They're a business, and as big a business as they are, they could take a bath on organic food all day and never miss a beat. They don't though. I'm certain that it's purchased. It's just that the belief that Walmart did it because of how big of a demand there was by Walmart shoppers rather than what really caused them to start stocking organic products is just a bunch of silly bullshite.

I don't mean organic necessarily. I mean quality in terms of it actually being enjoyable. Food is a big part of the culture in South Louisiana and it isn't limited to just New Orleans and Lafayette.
I've lived in a lot of different places and for the most part food just isn't that big of a part of culture in the United States unless you're talking about major metro areas where you have more experienced diners.
Any small town in Louisiana is going to have a richer food culture than small towns in most other areas of the country.

Like what?
To be honest, my diet consists of a lot of chick peas, cooked from dried, barley and vegetables. That is the backbone of my diet right there. Lots of veggies, fruits minimized.....beans. Fish. Turkey, minimally in soups on occasion. Living this way I dropped my cholesterol from unreadable 4 years ago to 160.
Look, I'm not a vegetarian or some vegan and I'm not a perfect eater or some vegan advocate. Every now and again, I grab a bag of friggin' Taco Doritos and eat the whole damned bag. But we do the best that we can to feed us and our kids fresh food basically.
And I'm a conservative Republican that does not think this way of living should be forced on anyone. By all means, eat hamburgers with slime. :)
