Ayale-com.792 net.cooks utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!yale-com!harley Thu Feb 4 00:12:15 1982 nutrition there is a net.nutrition, it's called net.cooks. i think BCH didn't get my point about processed foods. it is not clear to me that processed foods taste any better than other foods. instead of claiming that the (distinctly anglo) tendency to puree, bleach, & sweeten is a learning phenomenon, i will just say de gustibus non est disputandum (sp?). but beyond taste, i think you will find that the body's "tolerance" is remarkable but flawed. look, for instance, at the instance of colon cancer in USA. whiles can survive an amazing variety of diets, it is clear that surviving is not the only point. sensory delights can be a confusing idea. i think a holistic diet offers more sensory delights than a traditional gourmet diet, simply because it has more possibilities. as for "gourmet" sex, i don't much care for flavored douches, & there is room for infinite variation without introducing machines. i promise to give no more radical nutrition raps until i have contributed something along the lines of a recipe. does anyone know of a good (jam-packed) cookbook that skips the recipes & teaches technique instead. i'm thinking of everything from bean-cooking times to curry-mixing techniques. - steve harley (yale-comix!harley) ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
