Sex outside of marriage ends in so much destruction: destroying marriages (adultery and porn), destroying unborn babies (abortion) and children (pedophiles), destroying men (homosexuality), women (rape), and destroying families and nations. Teach your children to pursue sexual purity for their own protection and good.
Time someone said it plainly. Grain-finished beef usually tastes better than grass-finished. More marbled, more tender, richer in the mouth, which is exactly why steakhouses charge for it.
The grass-fed crowd will tell you you're poisoning yourself. The actual gap? A bit more omega-3, a bit more CLA. All real, all small, most of it closed by eating the fattier cut anyway.
And here's the joke. Grass-fed might be the most nutritious food on the planet. Grain-finished is the second most. You're agonising over first versus second place out of every food that exists.
Pick the one you'll look forward to, cook it well, and lose no sleep over the rest.

I think it's interesting when I come across a liberal on social media who says our country is "so divided under Trump" while conveniently forgetting to recognize when the division actually started.
We were doing pretty good until 2008.
It's been division ever since 🤷♀️
When you choose an absolutely PERFECT elimination diet such as Carnivore and go a few months with it intelligently, you learn a lot about substandard foods.
What were previously "treats" are now utter garbage with only recreational drug-level worth.
What were "healthy choices" pushed by mega industries are now a running joke.
What was a "health care" facility is now a place where they herd idiots into for maximum profit because those idiots chose "treats" and "healthy choices".
There is nothing to go back to once you eat proper human food for life.
I took my daughter on a trip to Ireland when she was 14.
We had a blast, saw a lot, and enjoyed our time there.
But what really made me think about our trip was when Irish folks who had never been to America asked me questions like:
What's Yellowstone like?
What about the Grand Canyon?
Is Niagra Falls as big as it looks?
What are the beaches in Florida like?
How's Texas BBQ? Is everything really big in Texas?
Etc etc etc
I had to answer, "I don't know. I've never been there."
The shocked looks I got were endless.
"You come visit our little country, but you haven't even seen your own?? There's so much to see in America!! I wish I could go there! Why are you even here?"
Then it really made me think. I haven't seen my country.
So, a couple years ago, my husband and I took a road trip.
Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming.
We drove through Idaho and across Montana. Just absolutely gorgeous!
We ventured out in Yellowstone. Amazing!! We spent 4 days there and still didn't even see the whole park.
We spent a weekend in Bismarck, North Dakota, then headed to South Dakota and spent a week in Rapid City.
We saw Mount Rushmore and Crazyhorse. Absolutely stunning!
We spent a day at Custer National Park, watched the annual Buffalo roundup, and ate bison brisket sandwiches. We loved it!
We spent a day walking around Deadwood where legendary gunslinger Wild Bill Hickok died. So much fun!
Then we headed home and drove through the Grand Tetons. Breathtaking!!
And the drive through Wyoming is so serene and peaceful that it makes you feel like you're in a scene from Dances With Wolves.
We want to go back to Yellowstone but we also want to drive through the south.
We don't care for cities. We want small towns, parks, beaches, and food.
Those Irish folks were right. I need to see more of my own country 🇺🇲
I am so tired of automotive shops trying to gouge and rip people off. It gives us honest technicians and shops a bad name. Recently had a friend ask me to check their 2019 Ford truck out after a well known service shop gave his wife a sky high estimate for work that they claimed the truck needed. They even told her the truck was dangerous to drive. She had taken the truck in for an oil change and to check out a rattle in the front end. They claimed the truck needed struts, shocks, upper and lower control arms, sway bar links, and outer tie rod ends and alignment . The repair estimate was over $6,000!
After I thoroughly checked it over the only thing it needed was sway bar links as one was broken (that was the rattle). So I repaired it for under $150. Alignment was even fine. So maddening and wrong it is.
The mechanics at this shop like many today are paid commission on parts and labor so the more they sell, the more money they make. Tip: If you get a high estimate on your vehicle, you many want to get a second opinion somewhere else.
The myth: Dr Atkins, the steak-and-butter man, dropped dead of a heart attack. His own diet got him in the end.
What actually happened: he slipped on an icy pavement outside his Manhattan clinic, cracked his head, and died nine days later of the brain injury. The thing that killed him was a frozen pavement.
Then came the cleanup. A leaked medical examiner's note, handed to the press by a vegetarian campaign group, said he weighed 258 pounds at death. Proof of obesity, they crowed. He had weighed 195 on admission. The other sixty-odd pounds were fluid, pumped into a man who had spent nine days comatose in intensive care. They photographed a balloon and called it a lifestyle.
He did have a weak heart, as it happens, a cardiomyopathy left by a viral infection. His arteries, on the angiogram, ran clean. Even his heart trouble was the opposite of the clogged-artery disease they wanted to blame on his dinner.
None of it touched the diet, in either direction. He fell on some ice. That is the whole story.
But "the meat doctor's heart gave out" travels a great deal faster than "he slipped over in February," which is the only reason you ever heard the first one.
Women believe if they ruled the world, the world would be a better and more peaceful place. This isn’t true. Women are responsible for the death of almost 70,000,000 unborn babies (far more deaths than all wars in America combined), and they’re capable of treating others this way. (Lesbians have the highest rate of divorce.) God didn’t create women to rule.
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
That is not an opinion. That is basic biochemistry.
There are essential fats.
There are essential proteins.
Your body cannot make them, so you need to get them from food.
Carbohydrate is not on that list, because your liver can make the glucose you need from fat and protein.
That process is called gluconeogenesis.
So why were people told to base meals around grains?
The 1977 dietary guidelines pushed 6 to 11 servings a day.
That was presented as health advice.
It also happened to suit a food system built around cheap, storable, profitable products.
A population living on meat, eggs, and simple whole food is harder to sell to on repeat.
That is worth thinking about.
When I cut back on carbohydrates my energy stabilised, my hunger became manageable, and I stopped thinking about food every two hours.
That is not what you would expect if you had removed something essential.
Your body does not need carbohydrate.
It needs enough energy, enough protein, enough fat, and the right signals.
What is the most difficult carb for you to give up?
When I was a senior in high school (1975), my family attended a Bill Gothard conference for a week. His teachings were in response to the 60s sexual revolution. He taught sexual purity, modesty, the value of marriage, children, and women being keepers at home, and warned us about secular music and TV/movies. It was a breath of fresh air! No one else was teaching this.
After that, I never heard of him until all these allegations were being made against him. A woman who created videos called “Shiny Slander” debunks most of them.
No, I am not a “Gothard supporter” as many have accused me of. I want truth. That’s all. I greatly appreciated what he taught me at 17 years old. It was what my heart desired. Everything he taught was normal just 70 years ago. 🤔
@AjRockatansky We do chuck roast in our Instant Pot. About 15 minutes per pound. Then let it sit for 20-30 minutes before removing it from the pot. It always comes out great.
A man was asked to paint a boat.
He brought his paint and brushes and began painting it bright red, just as the owner requested.
While working, he noticed a small hole in the hull.
Nobody asked him to fix it.
Nobody was watching.
Nobody offered to pay him extra.
But he quietly repaired it anyway.
When the job was finished, he collected his payment and left.
The next day, the boat owner came to him with a generous check.
The painter was confused.
“You already paid me for painting the boat.”
The owner replied:
“This isn’t for the paint job.
This is for repairing the hole.”
The painter said:
“But it was such a small thing…”
The owner looked at him and said:
“You don’t understand.
When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole.
After the paint dried, my children took the boat out fishing.
They didn’t know there was a hole.
And I wasn’t home to stop them.
When I returned and realized they had taken it, I panicked.
But then I saw them come back safely.
When I checked the boat, I found that you had repaired the hole.
You didn’t just fix a boat.
You saved my children’s lives.”
Sometimes the good you do may seem small to you.
But to someone else, it may mean everything.
So when you see a leak, repair it.
When you see someone struggling, help.
When you can do something kind without being asked, do it.
You may never know how many lives your small actions quietly saved. 🛶❤️
My son has to put up with a lot when we go out to eat.
I’m the awkward one who asks what oil the food is cooked in.
No seed oils.
No vegetables.
No bread.
No sauces.
I ask questions the waiter cannot answer but I do not apologise for it because the food that is served in restaurants is making people sick.
Three years of eating this way and I feel better at 58 than I did in my 40s.
That didn’t come from following the usual advice.
It came from finally questioning it.
Are you the difficult one at the table too?
