I've been vegetarian ever since I watched Game Changers on Netflix about 2-3 years ago. It wasn't that hard though, my girlfriend is deathly allergic to pork so I could only have beef / chicken anyway. Giving up both of those was quite easy since I never really liked meat much, I always preferred the taste of vegetables over the taste of meat.

Eating tofu is really bad for you, it's full of sodium and even worse, estrogen. Intaking that much estorgen can throw your hormones way out of balance and is even worse for women than for men.

The argument for protein from meat always intrigues me since meat doesn't create protein naturally. Only plants can synthesize proteins from sunlight and animals obtain it from eating plants. So if you're eating meat for protein, you're only getting it second hand, you're better off just eating the plants directly instead of eating the animal that ate the plants. And that's assuming you're eating a herbivore, if you eat a carnivore then you're getting the protein third hand. 

The problem becomes is that it’s really hard to get your daily calories with just vegetables. Being a vegetarian IMO isn’t sustainable for someone like me. 
I eat 3 meals a day. 
breakfast is a smoothie (strawberries, bananas, kale, almond milk, mct powder and beets crystals) and a cup of plain yogurt with cinnamon. 

lunch is beans and rice with enchilada sauce.

dinner is a hunk of meat (either chicken, beef or pork) with a ton of sautéed vegetables.

I also have 2 servings of bone broth and a cup of tea before bed. Oh yeah, I also drink a plant based protein shake after workouts. 

Now of course this changes up a bit from time to time. Due to my work schedule and whatnot. Plus if I go out to dinner With friends, decide I want McDonald’s, so on and so on….

I have to start before I can be done. You're getting ahead of yourself.

I’m just prepping for the inevitable.

Seven players have a shot at the title? This should be an interesting week.

Aren’t you already done for the week ?

I’m gonna say this has been the best weekly contest since the days of the site we shall not speak of!

Of course not. It's Cincinnati. We're not allowed to have nice things.

Yeah you aren’t. Like chili. You can’t have nice chili!

I honestly spent my Friday night sitting on the couch eating a box of cheese coneys watching Yo! Noid speedruns on YouTube. Now that I think about it, that does seem somewhat depressing. 

Well…. We are a depressing bunch.

I spent my Friday night a bit differently. But in the end. We probably had the same outcome

They lost the Super Bowl, but that was basically Eli Apple tripping over his own feet to give up the game winning touchdown. Eli Apple does indeed suck, but at least he can do it in Miami now.

Taint winning a SB this year either.

I wish I had when the Bengals sucked for an entire decade. At least that way I might not remember it.

Bengals still suck!

I believe it Doug.

You guys ever watch football on weed?

You fucking guys over here eating skyline chili and watching speedruns of Yo Noid!,

Cincinnati chili was invented by Bulgarian immigrants from Greece so you need to take your grievances up with them sir.

Yup. White people fucking shit up

Don't blame me. I prefer authentic Mexican syle tacos over the Americanized Taco Bell style ones. I also want to go to my nearest authentic Mexican place and order tacos "stuffed with white people toppings" to see if they laugh as hard at that as I did.

You also like chili that has fucking cinnamon or cardamom or some crazy shit like that! Eff you Cincinnati chili! Yet another example of us white folk fucking something up!

RE series sucked dog balls for quarters.

TM is pretty fun.

I don't think anyone got fat off of tofu, rice, and veg hahaha

I know a few fat vegetarians and one vegan. I need the protein to help keep me full on just 3 meals a day. Me being full stops me from snacking. Therefore keeping me not fat. 
The protein also helps with my running and cycling.

Meat is better than tofu, protein wise, when it comes to bodybuilding. That being said, any time I get a bento box with tofu and a fried chicken steak, my cat comes sniffing around the tofu over the chicken, hahahahaha.

So I don’t bodybuild. I’m kind of scrawny actually. I need the protein to help keep me that way. High protein=not fat. At least in my case.

I eat meat in one meal a day. It’s usually breakfast of dinner. As I feel that is the best source of protein. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I need 120 grams of protein per day to sustain my lifestyle.

When I escaped to the north I discovered there was nothing to do here but farm and fish. The wildest thing I see is people make "tacos in a bag" which is something I'd never experienced until. Every restaurant also carries cinnamon rolls glazed in maple frosting. 

The hipsters here call it a “walking taco”. It’s all the rage. I just see a bunch of people wandering around the 16th street mall with bags of Doritos stuffed with white people taco toppings. 
Like why the fuck can’t they just get a real taco and walk around with it ? Why do we white peoples have to fuck everything up?

There is also a thing called “walking tamales”. 

This all frustrates me to no end.

Why can’t you walk with a real taco or tamale ? Hell. I walk around with a bowl of fucking ramen pretty regularly. It’s not that hard.

Is this it? I wonder if it was a regional thing since I don't remember the Domino's by me having them. After more research, apparently you can still get them at Domino's in Pakistan. Do with that information what you will.

Fuck that was a good pizza!

You might as well. You could even order Domino's!

@JamesRobot and myself used to order Domino’s like 3 or 4 times a week. It was a pizza called the Doublemelt. It’s hard to describe it, but it was fucking amazing. I won’t order from there until they bring it back.
