I remember having this weird green pocky once... it was'nt too good. I perfer regular pocky myself, but usally will eat it till I get sick. Last time we went to Disney World we went looking for Pocky men (which they usually had in stock). Unfortunately they ran out and re-stock monthly (I think thats what she said). Never ask for a bento box in Disney World, even in the stores in the Japan area, they'll just laugh at you. I think I've heard of green pocky before. Mint, possibly? Eurgh...green pocky? That sounds unappetizing. The strangest pocky flavor I've seen is white chocolate. ^^ I've seen those! The oddest pocky I've seen was either the giant pocky (was about the size of those really REALLY big candy canes) or this 'dip your own pocky' sort of thing... |

OK - I've got a few more gross foods. I've eaten fried crickets (crunchy) and beetle larvae (eh?). The only good thing about seafood is that a) it tastes good b) it's high in certaing nutrients. It's bad for the enviorment, it is probably the #1 cause of food poisoning, it's expensive, and it is just as polluted as the water it comes from. There are many horror stories abuot the seafood market. Fishermen lose their jobs left and right, and it's probably one of the poorest occupations around. The law is that shrimp must be caught with a special net so it doesn't harm turtles, but this law is constantly broken. Practically everywhere is overfished. Mercury runs high in water. And Ember, I sooner be reincarnated as a beetle than most kinds of seafood. Frequently many fish, lobsters, whatever, get crammed together with poorly-oxegenated water rampant in disease and filth. Probably being a chicken in a factory would be better than seafood.... www.mbayaq.org/cr/seafoodwatch.aspUSE THIS URL WHEN EATING SEAFOOD! It will tell you what is good and not good for the enviorment. It does not mention anything about how polluted the various seafoods are, nor what treatment they recieve, but at least you can protect the enviorment as a whole. |

My daily food: Breakfast (if I eat it)--Carnation Instant Breakfast (chocolate) Lunch-- peanut butter (no jelly or fluff) sandwich and lemba or granola bar Dinner-- some chicken pot pie, taco, or hamburger/hot dog That doesn't sound very healthy, leb... I'm a healthy eating freak ever since I'm trying to lose a bit of weight, and I know people should eat 5 to 6 meals, blah blah, blah blah blah blah, and never ever ever skip breakfast, because if you do, you'll be something like 12 hours or more without eating and that really messes up with your organism... As for gross foods I've tried, I think teh grossest was probably dead animals... Seriously, doesn't the idea of eating a corpse gross you out? That's why I no longer eat meat. That and to spare some suffering. Have you ever seen a pig getting killed? It's horrid, made me want to cry and almost gave me nightmares...   My Philosophy is "don't eat anything with a brain", because if they had brain, that meant they had nerves and therefore felt pain when they were killed. Well, I don't follow it 100% because Mom is a nag and doesn't want me to stop eating fish, but as for the rest, I haven't tasted it in 2 years... But I'm rabling, aren't I? |

Me no fan of meat. But me eat meat. I think this is going to become another veggie-tarian thread if I don't stop talking.  FOOOD. Anybody eaten snow before? I haven't. (I'm remembering an ep of Pokemon where Team Rocket was looking for soy sauce to eat snow with) |

Way to go Hippie. ;D Eat snow? No, not really. Actually, I've only seen snow once... But wouldn't it taste like dirty rain water? =P |

Yes it would, actually. Since the air takes it from the oceans and other waters we have, and then brings it up and drops it at us again, I think it'd be as dirty... Hmm, I wonder if they have a filter up there. *looks upward*

Hmm, I wonder if they have a filter up there. *looks upward* Not to mention all of the air polution that gets mixed in. . . Ugh. It's just as well that it never snows where we live. If it did we'd have some of the dirtiest snow in the country. |

I really don't think there's anything more wrong with eating most animals than plants. Both are living, and neither are self-aware. Hurting the animals isn't good, but beyond that, I can't see many reasons not to eat meat.
I've read tons of horror stories about the conditions and method of killing for meat animals, but I don't think not eating meat will help solve that. Maybe making some way to cheaply, efficiently, and painlessly kill animals that doesn't render them inedible would help--then meat companies could do that and still both make a profit and keep up with demand. Maybe making better animal protection laws would help.
That's my opinion on the matter, anyway; I could quite easily be wrong.
Er...what was this thread about originally?
Edit: This is my twenty-fifth post...rather pathetic compared to nearly two thousand...heh.

One thing that's very good to know if you ever get stuck on a raft in the middle of the ocean with no water is how to make salt water into fresh water. First, you gather up a bunch of seawater in some kind of container. Put something above it to catch the evaporating water (it'll have to be positioned so it doesn't block the sun). Set up another bowl (or bucket or whatever) to catch the water that condenses on the top thing. You'll be left with salt and other impurities in the first container and drinkable water in the last bowl. Since evaporating water to catch the fresh water gets ride of salt and other things, wouldn't you think that evaporated water to make precipitation would be reasonably free of most pollutants in the water? That's also one way to distill chemicals--heat them, condense the vapor on another surface, and catch it in another place...so that should work for water as well.
Air pollution would probably still be in the snow/rain/other precipitation, though, and I'm not an expert on pollution in snow; I'm probably wrong about evaporation separating out pollutants.
Edit: I fixed a tag I mistyped.
