2,210 calories and 134 grams of fat

That's only half fat.

Here's a quiz:
You are on a foodless island for one year and have only water and one of the following foods to take with you.This is a survival consideration, not a favorite food question.
Which of the following would you bring?
1) Peaches
2) Broccoli
3) Hot Dogs (organic, kosher,etc)
4) Chocolate
5) Romaine Lettuce

I wanna say peaches, but something tells me that the answer should be chocolate

broccoli

Are we supposed to assume that the water around the island is also foodless?

The water is filled with onions.

It's gotta be either the hot dogs or the chocolate, or else he wouldn't be asking.

yeah, hot dogs or chocolate. The other foods don't supply you with any fat. you'll die.

Well, some of you will die.

I think I might could last a year with what I've got stored

well the hot dogs would go bad after a day or two

so what's the answer? I expect to be on a foodless island this afternoon and this could really help me pack.

The hot dogs would probably keep you alive longest with protein and fats, but with the chocolate, you'd die happiest.

Depends on the island. He didn't say "tropical" island. I'm thinking one of the islands off the northern coast of Baffin Island would keep those hot dogs safe for a year. Of course, then you would have trouble drinking the water.

I guess I would still take the broccoli and feel good until I die from no fat. Hotdogs make you feel like shit. Now Chocolate is do-able. :3eye:

I said food-less not, without refrigeration. The broccoli, however would spoil.

It's my imaginary island I can make all the rules.

Now all you women get undressed

i call shenannigans. there was no actual quiz? just some made up bullshit? this wasn't something you read in readers digest or GQ even? you just pulled it out of your ass?

for shame!

No, it was in "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan. He was talking about how much bullshit misinformation gets started that is based on lies started by companies trying to advance their economic interests. Namely, the pogrom on fat in the diet. People have made fat into an all purpose boogeyman, when it is usually a lot more "natural" than diet coke which is supposedly some sort of magical elixir guaranteed to make you a slender as a reed.

Also reed the white type, faggelah.

Wait, what did Monnie say??
