Food Four reasons why you should never eat a pack of instant noodles

[packyderms_wife]

That reminds me I have rice in the fridge along with a rotisserie chicken and a cream of chicken with herbs on the shelf... I know what I'm having for lunch now. And yes the rice is white jasmine rice!!!

Made it for lunch and added broccoli, this one is going on the menu for quick and easy lunches or dinners!

The ones that started the eggs are bad thing was the cereal industry. Oh and only eat egg whites. Nonsense, I continued to eat my eggs And the ones that poo poo'd Cheese, beef, butter, wine, chocolate, coffee…. have an agenda, just like the fools that want us to eat bugs.

Just like the fools that got fur banned, and tried to ban wool as well... it was the synthetics fabrics companies for corps like North Face, Columbia, etc.,

Didn't mean sharing this article as a personal assault on anyone, just sharing information that may be helpful to some.

After my dad died, during covid, I became quite complacent in eating and started eating the. instant noodle cups instead of making a real meal, even a sandwich was too much for me, and I'm talking a couple of months worth here. That and drinking too much soda landed me in the hospital in the cardiac unit. Lesson learned. I do enjoy an cup of instant noodles every once in awhile, but I'm not longer eating them daily, two, three times a day.

Cary's grandfather was the same way, almost. He was born in the 1800's and worked farming all his life. Had a big farm and did lots of hard work. He never paid attention to dietary laws by the experts (Did they even have those back then?). Ate pretty much what he wanted. From Cary's remembrance, he was never sick. One day, he was sitting at the kitchen table and died of a massive stroke. He was 93 yrs. old.

But gee! If he'd followed the new rules, he could have lived another few years... in bed, in a nursing home. Sounds attractive... not!

Like Cary's grandfather, his dad died the same way at 91. He did go to a nursing home, because the stoke didn't kill him. He was able to live another 3 months. Ate anything he wanted, too. Like Cary, he loved his meat, potatoes, and lots of bread. Like his dad (Cary's grandfather), he had a slight high BP problem, but never took any medication for it. It wasn't so high that his doctor ever put him on any. He was healthy all of his life, too. Their diets sure didn't affect their long lives at all. They both ate whatever they pleased. It's not always about what we eat or don't eat. Lots of it is because of our genes and what we inherit from our parents. That's the reason for Cary's slight high BP. I do curtail our salt intake and processed foods. I don't want to add to the problem. He also takes a mild blood thinner just because he's allergic to aspirin. An aspirin is all he really needs as a preventative.

I used to eat it raw as a 25 cent lunch in high school.

I got in an argument with someone at the Tree of Liberty about eating beans, a few years ago. I guess that they have too many carbs or something.

Beans are cheap and are an excellent source of fiber. Beans and rice are a complete protein, plus they make a reasonably cheap and filling meal. No, I'm not going to eat them every day, but a few meals like that sure help stretch the budget. And a half cup of beans in the meatloaf, along with some onions is quite tasty and helps stretch the beef.

I love all kinds of beans but would lean towards quinoa rather than rice. I don't eat them all that often more because I don't think about than any thing else. Dh does not like rice but I might be able to get him to eat maybe a heaping tablespoon of cooked rice.

I will say that when our youngest son was engaged and then first married, his wife was a vegetarian. He gained 40#, and it was all belly fat. None of our family has ever had any problems with weight, and if we do gain a few pounds, it's usually all over.

When she realized our farm grown meat was from "happy" animals <insert eye roll>, and started cooking with meat as the main course, he dropped 30# in 6 months... without dieting. Vegetarian protein combos really do have more carbs than are healthy f9r many people... or at least, for them to maintain healthy, lean weight.

That said, I've got a lot of beans in the preps... because "less than optimum" beats starvation!

Oh, yeah. And a lot of them add full-fat cheese to everything! That also packs on the calories quickly.

I love cheese, too, but I shave it thin and add only a small portion to eggs or to a sandwich.

 

[anna43]

I think you can easily get away with eating "bad for you" foods occasionally. A steady diet of them is what is bad. I don't care for Ramen but do keep a few in the house. If I use them, I only use a small portion of the flavoring packet. MSG gives me a screaming headache. To be honest, the last few I purchased have been tossed due to being seriously outdated. I don't care for canned soups and seldom eat them. I do use the cream of soups in casseroles.

 

[Meemur]

I think a lot of us try to keep some food on hand in the freezer, but life gets complicated sometimes.

I believe that canned soup has a place in the pantry! I spend a little more and get Progressive (on sale). I rotate
it out during the holidays. I was thankful to have it on hand during my last bout of flu.

Now, I'm back to having about a dozen pint containers of both homemade soup and stew in the freezer, but sometimes I don't have time or energy to replenish those stores. I'm making it more of a priority, but I still only have limited energy, and my priority has been getting the house projects completed, if I have energy after working (and that is getting better!)

I'm also making more food for the freezer in the slow cooker. I can put it together first thing on a Saturday, go about my activities, and then have a bowl for lunch and freeze the rest for the next week. I had stopped doing
that because I had an older slow cooker that was a total bear to clean, but I acquired a newer one with a removable vessel and donated the other one. That makes a huge difference!

 

[nomifyle]

Yes, Anna, I also think eating junk from time to time is probably okay. I use to be really strict about it but you have to live life in the world. I like a few chips with the occasional sandwich, and I eat a few ff from mcdonalds from time to time, although they use to make me gag. I had a potato soup cup of soup the other night, bought it a good while ago and now can't find it anymore. It was pretty good.

I have some cream of soups in my pantry, I think I used the cream of chicken once and maybe the cheese one once. The only one I've ever used in years past was cream of mushroom, but haven't used it in awhile. I haven't made a casserole in a good while, it was the tuna noodle casserole that I used the cream of mushroom in and DH likes the recipe with potato chips on the bottom, I was appalled at the idea, but caved and made it for him several times.

About that RAMEN, you know, the cheap kind you buy at costco where the case is just a few bucks, or you buy them at your grocery store for maybe under a buck? I eat them. Or I have.

If you watch this it might bug you a little bit. Under two minutes.

Not that that video might not been legit, but as a retired QA inspector there are a lot on things about the video that raise a red flag to me.

How were the samples selected, how was the the product stored, was the package damaged/compromised/tampered? The editing left no chain of handling and accountability.

I have to take a video like this with a huge grain of salt. I used to work in television production. I understand all too well how to edit to produce the desired impression. I was editing news film back in 1974 when it was still indeed film, not video. I also worked my way up to being a director in a few years at the station where I worked. Very stressful job. It was amazing how my migraines went away right after I changed stations and went back to regular production positions instead of directing commercials and live local newscasts.

Agreed. But I've also seen several vids now of the Jab PCR swabs being packaged in India and China and it was just people, old people, kids, sitting on dirty floors swabs all over the place doing the packaging.

I was also in France long ago, stopped at a winery, couldn't find anyone. I wandered into the barn, there was the whole family, gramps, parents, kids, sucking on tubes and filling bottles of wine by hand. The wine was pretty good so I bought a half case .

So it does happen. No more cheap ramen from Costco for me

 

[SouthernBreeze]

Put under a microscope, I have to wonder how many other dry foods such as rice, pasta, etc. even saltine crackers and such are also contaminated under the wrong storage conditions. The video is lacking in a lot of details.

We have some raman back in storage..the seasoning packets are not really important to us...just figured it more like spaghetti noodles....just a another thing to use to extend sauces/chunky style soups/ sausage gravy/or whatever..... would sure be better than their plan for us of eating ..bugs....
Variety.... not saying it is great food ...

But....does anybody but me remember that scene in Gone with the Wind... where Scarlett is in the garden... Digging radishes and saying I will never be hungry again...that scene was really not far from the naked truth...

General Grant said of the Great Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (in my state) at the end of the war.....that a crow flying North to South down the Valley down would not find a single kennel of corn to eat....let that sink in...yes it was that bad...the South was starving...

My grandmother was born into that just five years after the end of that war...her mom lived through the whole bloody mess ...still pretty close in my family.. not so many generations to forget what it was really like ..my dad knew men who fought for the South...he told me tales... of things they told him...

I believe that is what they have planned for us ..they really want/need a civil war.. some people are saying they will put all these military age invaders in the/their army to use against the citizens of America...and promise them citizenship for killing us.....

If this does come to pass .. I for one will be greatful for any food we have ....at that point might even be greatful for the seasoning packet..in the noodles..

The South suffered a currency collapse..
The great depression did not.. we still had silver backing the dollar...I remember silver certificates as a kid and silver dimes "in me pocket"....
so I look to what happened after 1865 as a model of what to prep for...not the great depression...
just my 2 cents worth....

Besides, go to any Cosco, Sam's, or Walmart and pick up a 25 or 50lb bag of rice, pinto beans, or flour, bags of pasta, boxed potatoes, etc. that has been stored in a warehouse and container ship for months at a time, and not vacuum sealed. Bring them home, get out your microscope, and examine a handful of each item. You will be surprised at what you find. It's not just Ramen noodles. People just want to pick on that, because they don't like them or think they're so unhealthy.

I totally agree with hd5574. What we're looking at is starvation on a huge scale. We'll be glad to get our hands on whatever is edible and available. What is coming will be much worse than the Great Depression ever was.

Cary's mom was in Berlin, Germany when it fell. She and a friend fled for their lives into the countryside and almost starved and would have if they hadn't come across a small garden. They dug out of the ground and stole small potatoes, wiped them off as best they could, and ate them raw. Some folks say that they'll never be that hungry, but do you have a crystal ball?

Most people have no idea what happened in Berlin... it is very good thing that Cary's mom fled..my father an army engineer who was a commander of an engineer batallion (think build one of the bridged over the Rein River) was attached to General Patton's 3rd Army..
He was commanded to wait outside of the city of Berlin for several days.. by General Montgomery of the UK with the agreement of General Eisenhower until the Russian army arrived ..they agreed that the Russians should be allowed to enter Berlin first....the Russians sent in their troops who were the descendants of Genghis Khan ..they were brutal..near animal like in their behavior ..they raped and murdered ...and destroyed much of Berlin.. ripped out the plumbing...think plunder ...( Think about this last October in Israel)
...my father and the American troops were sickened by what was allowed to happen .
...I will never forget the look on his face while he told me about what happened to Berlin.. these were civilians not German troops...since Berlin was inside the Russian sector....the Americans began and airlift.. because the Russians refused access by road... to bring food to the citizens of Berlin....or they would have starved to death.... remember until Ronald Reagan it was a divided city...

No one will bring food to America. ..

Cary's father was in Berlin after the fall. To make a long story short, he met Cary's mom in a cafe she was working in that was frequented by American soldiers. After almost starving while hiding from the Russians in the countryside, she met Cary's dad. He took care of her from that point on, until they were married in Heidelberg.

You're right. No one is going to be bringing food to America.

10 Gross Things the FDA Allows in Your Food

Not quite the kind of organic we had in mind...

reviewed.usatoday.com

The FDA's threshold for insect filth in flour is an “average of 75 or more insect fragments per 50 grams.” For rodent filth, it’s an “average of 1 or more rodent hairs per 50 grams.”

. Apple Butter
Sometimes, the wording in the Handbook is a little worrying. The FDA allows an “average of 5 or more whole or equivalent insects (not counting mites, aphids, thrips, or scale insects) per 100 grams of apple butter.” There’s no explanation of why there’s a list of excepted insects, so it implies your apple butter may contain any number of them. Mmmm, protein!

Mushrooms
Canned and dried mushrooms are considered fit for your consumption if they contain up to 20 maggots of any size per 100 grams of drained mushrooms and proportionate liquid, or 15 grams of dried mushrooms. Any. Size. Think about it

Broccoli

Frozen broccoli is allowed an “average of 60 or more aphids and/or thrips and/or mites per 100 grams.” So if you have 59 aphids, you’re fine. 60 is where they draw the line.

And, I was once told by someone working in a factory that produced tomato paste that they used to use heavy machinery with internal combustion engines to handle the fruit ... including scraping paste off the floor with a bulldozer!

The above is only one reason we grow our own food!

Feel truly grateful. I've had to go a full week without food because I was stranded with a broken down car in the middle of nowhere outside Portales, NM. I was house sitting for a friend who was back in Florida visiting family. I had recently lost my job, so no food, transportation, or way to find work since I was on an isolated farm. At least I had all of the clean water I wanted. I was so grateful when they returned.

Even though it was a serious challenge at the time, it was a blessing in disguise. It made it much easier to drop from the 450 pounds I weighed at the time down to 350 pounds during the following 15 months. My stomach shrinking from it may have saved my health and maybe even my life. God works in mysterious ways sometimes.
