That anyone would be shocked that packaged crap like Ramen has health risks is sad. This is not food. Of course it's going to kill you.

I always hope that when startups say "eating ramen" that they mean it symbolically, in that they are being frugal. Eating crap like this is just dumb.

white flour, poor quality fat, sodium, and a massive wallop of MSG. practically no protein.

my partner was busy last night, so I fed the family. I cooked whole-wheat cous-cous, mixed it with fried peppers and onions, and steamed a package of frozen "Italian Vegetables" (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and more.) I put this into bowls, half of each of the kind of stuff, and flavored with a dash of salt, pepper and earth balance natural margarine.

i didn't want a lot of protein in that meal because we cooked a chicken last night and i've been eating mass quantities of whey protein powder.

Why choose protein powder instead of natural protein?

Probably because he wants more than the natural amount of muscle.

It's easier to eat in large quantities. (For some people. Personally I can't stand it.)

Yeah, but it's cheap. It's also not bad with some crackers. :)

I have a friend who uses the noodles and chucks the flavoring packet. He then adds veggies, some protein and a soy sauce based stock. It's pretty delicious and I imagine still decently cheap.
