Is drinking orange juice just as good as eating oranges? As stupid as that might sound, I was actually thinking that yesterday. So I didn`t buy oranges ...
Corrections ?

don't be fooled by the "100% orange juice" label. if its squeezed orange juice (from an orange), then sure, its the same as eating one.

also remeber any true 100% orange juice bought from supermarkets will have been pasteurised thus denaturing vital enzymes, changing the structure of various vitamins (which makes the orange juice less nutritious).
The best way is to eat or juice an orange. remeber to drink the juice as soon as you've juiced the orange, as many of the nutrients are unstable and will breakdown quickly.

i like a girl who eats a orange. they used to do that a lot at my uni. just sit there in class and eat their oranges. goddam i need to fuck me somehting right now.

ofcourse not, you need essential amino acids which can only be found in animals. (their essential because your body can't synthesise them). Oranges are great but by no means perfect, you need to vary everything you eat. Aswell as proteins/aminoacids, vitamins etc. you need fats (preferably mainly poly- and mono-unsaturated fats), you'll find them in nuts and avocados are a real big healthy source, olive oil is all polyunsaturated and is a great substitute for butter; a rule of thumb is that if it is solid at room temp. then it's saturated and thus not as good for your body.
If you want me to go then by all means post again and I shall continue :)

No matter how fresh or squeezed or pulpy the orange juice is from the store it never tastes like the stuff you squeeze at home.

actually what I said isn't strictly true, I should have been more accurate and said you can find all the essential aa's in one choice of meat (ofcourse that also depends how well you cook it; rare is the most nutritious)
FlyAgaric: yes I do do Biology at school :)
and Marlowe: our ancestors didn't have addittives, merchandising, an extortionate use of fertilisers and intensive farming techniques etc.

2 onions 1 can baked beans 1 can kidney beans 1 can chopped tomatos Chilli sauce, garlic, coriander, whatever etc (if you have them)
Chop and fry onions. Drain sauce / liquid from beans and add to wok. Add tin of tomatoes, half-drained. Add condiments etc. Blend slightly if you have a food processor or something. Makes a nice panful of slop that can be stored and used in other recipes, good on toast with cheese or cooked with a couple of scrambled eggs. One pan can last about a week, only costs £1.50 or so.

some various sausages tin of tomatoes 3-4 tins of various beans (butter, flagelot, kidney etc) bacon chorizo or similar spicy sausage onion mixed spices carrots or a tin of carrots potatoes or a tin of potatoes
just fry the bacon, sausages, onions, boil the carrots and potatoes if they arent tinned, then make sure everything is cut up and stuff and put it all in a big massive pot and put a lid on and put it on a low heat for as long as you can wait, from 1 hour to 24. eat it with bread. and put whatever you like in it as well.

Xeron your information rocks, I had no idea about any of that shit! So where can I find some good mono saturated fats? And yeah I have been buying trail mix at the store and it makes me feel great! Like I burst out laughing throughout the when I have some. I was reading it`s because of the seritone levels or something ? Maybe I am wrong heh.
``so maybe add some parsley with it. `` HA!
Yeah, I really need to work on the buy healthy cheap food thing. The pasta everyday is effecting the way I live meng, makes me grumpy I find.

mono-unsaturated can be be found in all types of nuts. Chestnuts are mainly water and are good for low-fat diets, but still have the essential fatty acids. Pine Nuts on the other hand are packed with fat (mainly good but some bad).
Cashew nuts are rich in magnesium aswell as the essential fatty acids. Pistachios have the highest content of polu-unstaturates of any other nut. I could go on but it's alot of info. General rule: replace butter and margerine with olive oil/vegetable oils and saturated fatty snacks with nuts.

potatoes area gold mine meng
buy one of those pans with the the heating element built in, fill it with extra virgin olive (all the other types of oil are bad for you) and after you've cooked the potatoes (slice them into chips, or large flat chunks of potato, whatever you want) don't bother draining the oil, just leave it in the pan for next time
THAT MEANS NO CLEANING UP!
but some fries sprinkle seasoning, and some sweet chili sauce
I reckon it cooks best when you put it on the highest setting, but you might weant to do what I do and wrap a towel around you arm when you flip the taters, the oil spits and it hurts.

here's a really good recepie:
Lemon Chicken/Turkey
A lemon Chicken Breast (replace with Turkey for a healthier option) Chicken Stock Cube (OXO, Knorr etc.) Flour Cooking Oil *by the way Refund, vegetable oils aren't bad for, it depends on what your use for it is*
Cut the breast into strips and rub them with salt and then flour (make sure they're covered fairly well with flour). Put the oil in the pan (making sure the whole pan is covered in a thin layer)and start to heat. Don't use olive oil as it will overpower all the other taste. Put the kettle to boil and pour the water it into a mug and put in the Stock Cube. After the oil has heated (makesure it hasn't evaporated) put in the strips of breast and wait while the meat cooks. When you can see the strips becoming golden brown add the stock solution and stir. Also add the the juice of a squeezed lemon at that point and just wait until your left a thick liquid ie wait for some of the water to evaporate. Let it stand for a few minutes and serve. Garnish with some parsly or corriander. Make sure you pour all the sauce into the plate as that's whats going to drive you crazy for this dish.
Enjoy!
Refund if you want an explanation just post an answer.
