(in moderation)
My Pa used to say, it doesn’t cost more to go first class, you just pay a little longer.
He wasn’t good at math, but he was good at life.
A friend of mine once said:
What’s the point in living forever if all you eat is salad?
Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.
Sisko: Dax, I don’t want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.
You can’t make friends with salad…
I really love salad. Like an insane amount. Crunchy greens, baby spinach, every kind of onion, hit me with those sliced radishes! Sliced cucumber, carrots, bell pepper! And most days I don’t even want dressing. Or meat in there.
Which means that I don’t get enough fuel for sustenance, and I don’t get enough protein!
I guess what I’m saying is, even salad in moderation.
Try topping your salad with four bean salad (green beans, wax beans, kidney beans and garbanzo beans). Will improve the nutrition including protein.
Anything in excess is bad for you. Even water.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.

What’s the LD50 of high quality olive oil?
From /r/theydidthemath, six years ago:
solpyro
An MSDS from naturalsourcing.com for “olive oil grade a” gives an LD50 of >2000mg/kg. (I couldn’t copy the link on mobile, sorry)
An average human is around 62kg (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight) and they would need to ingest over 124g.
Olive oil has a density of .918g/cm³ (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml) making this dose about 114ml.
…which, I’m going to be honest, seems low.
3.8 ounces? Yikes, that does seem low.
Yeah, 3 shots of olive oil and you’re dead? That can’t be right.
Edit: Yeah it’s not right. Here’s the source the reddit post didn’t link: https://spoonnaturallubricant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MSDS_Olive_Oil_Grade_A.pdf
Oral: Expected to possess a relatively low degree of acute oral toxicity (LD50 expected to be >2000 mg/kg)
The commenter took that point and used 2000 mg as lethal dose, when the reference material basically said “I dunno, but at it’s more than this.”
That doesn’t sound right. 124ml of olive oil will probably do funny things to your shit and make you feel weird, but I very much doubt it’ll kill you unless you inject it straight into your aorta.
As a fatty mcfat fat person, there are limits. Having a treat here and there is no issue, enjoy that deep fried state fair concoction, just don’t eat it every day. Buy that cute trinket or sweater or game, just don’t buy all of them every time. Enjoy the sun shine, don’t roast yourself.

- Olive oil is healthy generally
- wine (especially red) is good for the heart
- sun is good for the skin and mental health
Amount makes the poison.
No amount of any kind of alcohol is good for your health.
Some medicine is solved in alcohol.
wine (especially red) is good for the heart
The beneficial thingy for the heart is from the grape. Grape juice is good for the heart, doesn’t need to be wine and the amount of the thingy(I can’t recall the name) is pretty low.
Yes. Don’t do drugs though, that will do nothing but harm yourself.
Buying a pretty nice coffee bean grinder made such a bigger difference in the quality of the coffee I drink that I count it as a solid win.
Really…I have never sprung for a better grinder but do spend on good beans and either pour over or French press, I’ll have to look into that thanks!
I was using two already older but pretty good and not cheap hand grinders (Knock Feld 2 and Helor 101). But I recently got the Fellow Ode Gen 2 flat burr grinder ($300) for V60 pour overs at home and it was a complete game changer. At the same time, I took the somewhat recently purchased Fellow Opus conical grinder to the office to use with the Clever Dripper and now my coffee both at home and at the office are substantially better than before.
That’s why I’m going to Disney world
Olive oil and cheese in moderation don’t make you fat, in fact they can be very healthy. You just have to be mindful of your overall diet. Most things can be healthy and unhealthy depending on the quantities and everything else you eat. Pastries are mostly bad yeah cause usually the sugar in a single serving is more than the daily recommended intake. But once in a while they are not harmful.
Also an important thing to note here is what you are used to eating. If you are used to not eating sweets at all, a sugary fruit like a grape can seem sweet to you. If you eat a lot of sugar, then fruits will not taste sweet at all. It’s like drinking orange juice after eating chocolate (it tastes sour af) but on a bigger scale. So there are no absolutes when it comes to eating. One can feel satisfied with little sugar so long as they are used to it.
Sun gives cancer, alcohol too, plus a lot more shit.
Enjoying your life can be done in a non stupid way.
The feeling of being skinny grants way more satisfaction for me than food ever will. I wish to stay out of the sun as much as I can so I can be pale forever.
