skeletonbow: - almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk (although usually as ingredients rather than plain)
I never understood these, how can you get milk from them if they don't have tits?
This proves we need a health and fitness thread.

OP, you definitely need to see doctor. Weight can't be a factor in this as much as the spine condition you mentioned. Plenty of people who weigh much much more than you have no problem with lying down / going to sleep lying down.

I think they feed them to female refugees and then milk them.

Don't quote me on that though, it's just what I've heard.

Crackpot.756: What about pizza. Do you make your own? Also, does all of that mean you're a vegetarian or vegan, or do you just stick to trustworthy sources of meat ... or do you shoot your own moose?
I eat normal pizza, but only once in a blue moon. Maybe 2-3 times a year or so, perhaps when I have a LAN party and guests order it or similar. I sometimes keep a frozen one in the freezer for emergencies like that also, and occasionally end up having it myself although not often. :)

I do make some of my own homemade pizza-like things also though but either eliminating all of the unhealthy ingredients, or cutting back on them or substituting other things.

For example, one thing that is fantastic is something I call "zuccizza" which is a combination of "zucchini" and "pizza". I basically cut zucchini in half the long way, hollow some of the inside out to make them like little boats, then dice up whatever pizza toppings I want to put on them, mix it all up and put a little sauce on them with the pizza toppings on top. Sometimes I have them all vegetable, and other times with pepperoni or bacon on top, but the majority of the meal is on the healthy side if not entirely healthy stuff.

No, I'm not vegetarian nor vegan, I'm a meat eater however I've cut down on meat quite significantly over time. Instead of gorging myself on it daily like I used to for most of my life, now I eat it in quantities at or below what the food guidelines recommend more or less, but without thinking about it or anything. I basically eat as much meat as I want, I just don't have an addiction to it any more so it isn't the centre of every single meal any more, but rather more of a side or topping. Some days I end up only eating plant based foods, others there is meat or eggs or whatever, but I don't think about it in any particular way. I just eat whatever I feel like having like anyone else, I just don't crave gorging myself on meat like a caveman anymore. :)

Bacon - while fuckin unhealthy as hell however will never be pulled from my dead rotting hands. MMMM bacon! :) I just don't eat a lot of it nor eat it every day, but I definitely enjoy it when it's on the menu. :)

I just buy regular meat like anyone else, but probably a fraction of what the average person does. Overall I've just eliminated junk food and processed foods mostly, and changed to a much more balanced diet overall.

Nut milk is just a name. It's called milk because it is a beverage made from nuts that has the colour, texture and consistency of milk and can be used as a substitute for milk. All nut milk is, is raw nuts (usually almonds or cashews) soaked in water for about 12 hours which activates/sprouts them, then they're ground up in a blender and passed through a mesh filter to remove the pulp. A small amount of sugar and/or vanilla or other flavourings can be optionally added.

Nut milks (and coconut) are becoming increasingly popular because they taste great and they have a very long pre-open shelf life of about 6-10 weeks depending on how new the product is at the grocery store. Once opened it should be used in 7 days but it can last a lot longer than that in my experience. So it essentially never turns sour nor goes bad.

Cashew milk is the closest in taste to cows milk and thus the closest substitute for cooking/baking. Almond and coconut milk have a slight taste of almond or coconut to them and of course are best used where that is desired/enjoyable (ie: not in an omelette hehe).

All of them are fantastic on cereal, in coffee, smoothies, etc. They also sell chocolate almond milk which is great too.

What got me into it, was I kept hearing about it in smoothie recipes and other places online and I thought it sounded gross, but one day I was in the grocery store and saw it there on sale, so I grabbed a carton of chocolate almond milk and regular to try it out. I enjoyed the taste of it so much that I kept buying it, plus it never goes bad like cows milk and I used to throw a lot of that out from going sour. So after about a month or two I ended up just not buying cow's milk any more as I found the almond/coconut/cashew milk to be superior and have many more uses in the kitchen.

There are other milk alternatives too like soy milk, rice milk and others but I tried rice milk and it is surprisingly more expensive and it is chalky tasting and yucky. Soy milk tastes ok but I'm not fond of soy products so I avoid it.

Almond/cashew/coconut milk is awesome. :) Best part is I can make it myself too, cashew milk is the easiest and doesn't need to be soaked first, so I can just buy a big bag of cashews and keep them in the freezer, take 1 cup of cashews out, throw 3-4 cups of water in the blender with it, blend the crap out of it and unlike almonds - it doesn't need to be filtered. Fresh cashew milk ready to go. Compare that to raising a cow in my backyard or closet or something and well... I'll take cashews and almonds any day. So much easier and tastier. :)

Is it any good in smoothies?

Too chunky for smoothies, great in chutneys and pickles though.

I like serving it with croutons.

Incidentally
The agricultural traditions or laws in many countries require that only milks sourced from certain lactating animals are legally allowed to be named milk when sold commercially, often only cow's milk is allowed to be named milk on the packaging, and any other milks must state the name of the respective animal (goat milk, sheep milk etc.). This leads the manufacturers of plant milks to name their products beverage or drink instead, invent fantasy based names, or omit the name entirely in favor of descriptive packaging.
Happens to be the case in Germany, for example; not allowed to call it "milk".

That actually sounds good. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I miss bacon.
Vegan bacon is not unhealthy.
