State of the Game

Oi!

Put that member away. This is a family friendly space!

Roasted (haven't tried them another way), yes they do.

But they are extremely high on animal protein and can deliver vitamin d which is one thing plant based food can't replicate. Plant based vitamin d is apparently different and not that compatible with our organism.
yup, yeast, and mycoprotein were the best, now the pea protein revolution is helping with this... there is a reason so many vegetarians are addicted to Marmite

Fun fact: The gene which could enable us to produce vitamin d ourselves is defective and a marker for the period when our ancestors divided from early ape likes.

yep! I very nearly went down the paleontology path but ended up going to art college instead... It is still something dear to me and I still study. (in a louche sort of casual way, while smoking Galois and drinking red wine)
 
As did 99% of all "program types" ever run on this ball.
there is a wonderful theory about our survival being to do with "self-domestication" by which I mean we became a domestic version of a species, which allows for wider variation from a limited gene stock. The same mechanism that allows all the dog breeds from a limited wolf gene pool. Another animal (and one which was referenced in the study) is the Cheetah, evidently they are a domestic version of a now extinct relative, something caused by a bottleneck (extinction event) in the evolutionary path.

I think we should stop here or else this thread contains actual information in the end :oops:
