I bought chuck steak last night because it was cheap. Didn't care for it all too much. A bit tougher and more chewy than I'm used to. Maybe there's a better way to prepare a chuck steak and I just need to be educated.

I'm in the wrong profession, lol.

I know a lot of vegan/vegetarians. Most of them are sick or have health issues. There are a few that seem to be healthy but they are the exception, not the rule. I imagine those are the ones who supplement religiously or cheat a little here and there.

Good video. All the more reason I tried to remain neutral and stay out of politics.

Vegetarian Diet Linked To High Depression Scores, Suggests Large Meta-Analysisby Jack Dunhill, Social Media Coordinator and Staff Writer Vegetarian diets could be linked with higher depression scores, suggests a huge meta-analysis of almost 50,000 people by researchers in Bochum, Germany. The research backs up existing studies that have linked ditching meat to an increased likelihood of depression, but the reason why remains elusive. Whether vegetarianism actually plays a role in depression is poorly understood. Some studies have pointed the finger at the diet, while others have refuted the findings. To identify a link – if there is one – Sebastian Ocklenburg and Jette Borawski performed a large-scale meta-analysis on published studies that compared the depression scores of non-vegetarians and vegetarians. Their results are published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. After accounting for duplicates, there were a total of 8,057 vegetarians and 41,832 non-vegetarians included in the analysis. While the sample was large, many of the participants were from similar countries, and so the diversity within the study was relatively low. The researchers then used a statistical program to scour the studies for mood disorder scores and sufficient data to be considered significant, and 13 studies fit the bill. Once all the findings were analyzed, the researchers discovered a significant increase in the depression scores of vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians. However, while the data was significant, there was also significant heterogeneity in the studies (how conflicting the results were between each study), indicating there was certainly not a unanimous conclusion. The authors are clear in their paper that they wish to make no conclusions based on the results – it is still unclear whether the link is causal from the diet, or whether those that experience depression are more likely to choose vegetarianism. In one study included in the analysis, for example, the results indicated that more often than not, people with depressive symptoms started their vegetarian diet after the onset of the disorder, suggesting it is not a causal link. It is suggested that depression may make the person more health-conscious, leading them to vegetarianism, or that depression enhances the feelings of empathy towards animals. This is purely speculation at the current time, however. With a significant link established, the authors now call for further research to understand its true nature. The first step would be to include more countries into the studies, as there is a clear bias in many of the studies towards a small number of countries. Once these are included, identifying whether the diet underlies the symptoms, or is purely a resulting lifestyle, will be incredibly important.

If is sentence was life in solitary confinement with Charlie Kirk videos on endless repeat until the day he died, I wouldn't be against that, lol. He can grow old listening to Charlie Kirk non-stop, with Charlie Kirk's voice being the last thing he hears as he passes away. Maybe he will realize he was wrong, and that Charlie never uttered so-called "hate speech", and that he was neither a racist, homophone, white supremacist, or any of the other host of lies people say about him. I'll admit that I have some inner conflict when it comes to news like this. On the one hand, the killer should be punished to the furthest extent of the law, whatever that may be. At the same time, I mirror the creator's feelings in that God ".... does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) I supposed both outcomes are not necessarily exclusive of the other.

He would speak on college campuses and invite anybody up to debate him on a variety of topics. He identified as conservative politically. He was speaking at one of these events in front of about 3000-ish attendees when he was shot in the neck and most likely died instantly. The killer ended up being a 22 year old brainwashed young man.

Actually yes, at the buffet they did have raw oysters. They were just "okay" compared to the oysters I get up here in Ohio at my favorite seafood boil place. The ones at the buffett had the same size shells but much tinier specimens inside them. I just had to compensate by eating more, lol.

This is great hearing that you are doing well at the gym and seeing gains while on carnivore. I really need to amp up my exercise routine. I get inspired, but I struggle to carve out the time because I am busy and spread thin.

Sad but true and all too believable even though this is satire. This creators skits are fantastic though. I love his content.

I don't know if any of you were familiar with him. His target audience was primarily younger college age individuals. I'm not into politics but I am a fan of debate and his views on certain social issues mirror my own because they are faith-based. His arguments and reasoning were often flawless. Anyway, it looks like they may have caught his killer.... https://www.foxnews.com/us/charlie-kirks-suspected-assassin-captured-after-fatal-shooting-influential-conservative-voice-utah? I would have hated to think this murderer got away with his heinous crime.

I went to an all you can eat seafood buffet last night. https://captainbenjamins.com/buffet/ I tried to get my money's worth out of them by hitting up the crab legs, shrimps, and ribeyes. I behaved for the most part, but certainly overate, lol.
