Actually, it's pretty much exactly in line with the latest USDA food pyramid: http://www.fns.usda.gov/eatsmartplayhardhealthylifestyle/ima...

#43Kind of a dearth of facts here... "The biggest reason is by only fueling your body with shit, you’re also fueling your brain with shit" I'd like to see some kind of evidence to support that. I'd be all for preparing the meal he suggests, but with shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup it's a significant time investment compared to pizza so I'd like evidence it's doing my startup better.
You want evidence that the quality of food you eat affects how you feel and the quality of your brain activity?
I do.
Unless you're starving, your brain pretty much only runs only on glucose. That means that whatever you eat, good/bad fresh/packaged, whatever, just gets converted to glucose.
Assuming you're getting basic levels of required vitamins, I don't see any reason why one diet would be beneficial over another in terms of brain performance.

#44I totally agree with the argument. I totally disagree with the cost estimates. Unless you're actually going to the grocery store every day (and you need to incorporate that into the amount of time involved), vegetables go bad. For example, the amount of cilantro they sell at the grocery store is for a dozen servings of this meal. I just finished throwing out pretty well every ingredient (except the chicken) given in…
Buy frozen vegetables. Seriously, it may not be the best choice, but they don't go bad, and its so easy to make them!

It may sound expensive, but the Tupperware™ FridgeSmarts are fantastic and they do actually work. The combination of keeping the food up out of any condensate and regulating the correct amount of airflow around the food actually keeps fruit & vegetables fresher, longer. Weeks and weeks out of things like carrots & celery & broccoli, etc.
Tupperware™ may seem expensive in comparison to other plastic products (especially in Australia)… but it really is good value, especially considering you get replacements for free. To quote a friend (who is a Tupperware demonstrator), it's like getting a perpetual license to use the product.

right. lets run a case study. go buy yourself a 50lb bag of sugar, a years supply of multivitamins, and report back in a year with how that worked out for you.

I agree. Frozen veggies are great. The only thing I have read is to not heat them up in the microwave (supposedly it saps out some of the nutrients). Just get a cheap steamer and toss them in there.
The best thing about frozen veggies is the various mixes you can get. I usually buy a giant bag of brocoli and then a giant bag of whatever mix I'm feeling.

#50Relatedly: I hate, hate, hate going to the gym. However, it is the most productive use of one hour a day I can think of. I have more energy and get more done when I go, and the benefits appear to compound in those months when I'm very consistent about going. (Can one of you guys invent a way for this to suck less? I'll pay you money. At the moment I just give myself EpicWin points for going, trying to trigger the WoW neurotransmitters...)
