What does this have to do with League of Legends?

Oh, and don't answer that.

But gluten-free is so IN right now. [slayer-jinx-catface]

He-man meme spam?

Well, my dad and sister are both gluten intolerant and get reallly bad stomach aches and diarrhea if they ingest it. One of my aunts has celiac.

I don't understand the people who avoid it because they think it's bad though. It's only bad for a select few people, and anyone considering a gluten-free diet should probably get him or herself tested before putting him or herself on a gluten free diet. I love being able to eat normally, and if I went gluten-free, eating would be so much less enjoyable.

Yeah if you have a gluten intolerance it's totally understandable, but then there's the people that just avoid it because it's the latest diet fad and they can't go 5 seconds without mentioning it to someone

You also forget the genetic changes in wheat. It isn't as good as it once was.

Too bad you don't strike me with that post. I am an avid meat, gluten, sugar, etc... eater.

VesarixxJul 10, 20161 votes

wasn't really trying to, actually thought you were bringing up the whole anti GMO thing with that, must have misread it, the picture was just to continue the meme

Now that's not true. Wheat hasn't evolved, and if you're talking about genetic modification to produce better yields, be more resistant to pests, grow faster, then that genetic modification has been thoroughly tested to show that genetically modified wheat and other foods have negligible negative effects on the environment and the people that consume it.

Sorry, but that you believe that. How can you test something that is the playground of God?

You allow pests to attack GMOs and let them attack unmodified crops, and look at the differences in the numbers of plants that survived? Pest resistance tested. You allow GMOs to grow and allow unmodified crops to grow and you look at the differences in yield? Yield tested. You allow GMOs to grow and allow unmodified crops to grow and you look at the differences in growth time? Growth tested. You let progressively closer-to-human animals ingest GMOs over their lifetimes and note differences between them and a group that ingested unmodified crops? Animal safety tested. You measure the quality and composition of soil used for GMO-growing and you measure the same traits of soil used for unmodified crop growing? You allow the GMO to grow with other plants and note how they are affected? Environmental safety tested.

This is all scientific. Religion has no basis in science.

Mad King HadesJul 10, 20161 votes

So your basis is in how the plants grow? I am not going to launch into a great study in how wheat is unhealthy. So here are the basics. Wheat is less nutritious, because of how it is processed and genetically engineered. Go look it up on Google if you don't believe me, so many search results that tell you that wheat is bad. Even if you search for a valid proof, it is in there.

Kitty DarkstarJul 10, 20163 votes

So your problem is with wheat and not the genetic modifications?

Mad King HadesJul 10, 20161 votes

I can go into both.

Kitty DarkstarJul 10, 20162 votes

Most of the logic against genetic modifications are based on misinformation. Be very careful of that.

Mad King HadesJul 10, 20161 votes

So should most logic for genetic modifications be.

Kitty DarkstarJul 10, 20163 votes

I base my logic on my textbook on the subject. I find no problem with genetic modifications.... in plants. I draw the line with animals.

Ok, have you seen Day of the Triffids?

No, why?

Trusting the internet as the definitive source of knowledge... for that matter, trusting every scientific study as the definitive source of knowledge...

This is why we can't have nice things.

Mad King HadesJul 10, 20161 votes

Internet=people people=information information/false = Oh shit, no source to be trusted.

Serious man, if I trusted the internet I wouldn't say that there won't be one or two things that are trustworthy.

Who doesn't hate it when someone just keeps on talking about how bad they think gluten is?

HayRossJul 9, 20161 votes

Gluten doesn't really have any real nutrients, if I recall correctly. It's this weird mesh-like naturally occurring substance that traps air bubbles as they rise when you make bread, making it tall and fluffy. Without it, all bread would taste about same, but it would look more like matzo

What is Matzo?

HayRossJul 9, 20161 votes

A flat, usually square bread with (Maybe, not entirely sure) some Jewish Religious significance: http://images.wisegeek.com/matzo-bread.jpg
