Yeah it's definitely all the PUFA and in their case intermittent fasting probably does more good than harm. But isn't this the case for basically every location? What country has the peatiest alms? In certain areas of the 1st world I guess there's less 'street food' type stuff but probably less fruit. TibetansNowadays many monks are very ill and diabetic as they age because the villagers will give them tons of sweets and rolls and poorly made Thai/Sri Lanakan Street food. They start their monasticism very skinny and eventually many get fat as they age. I used to think this was due to a slowing down of metabolism from the long term intermittent fasting, now I suspect it’s due to the nasty cheap vegetable oils and sugary wheat foods they are given. Just my thoughts on it.
LmaoYou ever take a gigantic bong rip in highschool and just stare at a spot on the wall of my friend Jeff’s Led Zeppelin poster and just sort of fall into a state of pure apathy and thoughtless dullness, so much so that you couldn’t move a muscle in your arms if you wanted to, and the desire to do so completely removed even though there’s a box of cookies directly to your right, which previous to the epic rip you had very much wanted, but you still don’t grab one...not so much out of a sense of peace and equanimity, but out of sheer freaking laziness? And then Jeff says, “Whoa that was a huge rip man, do you want a glass a water?” But you have forgotten what water is. You don’t even have the capacity to ask yourself the question, “What is water?” You can only exist in a dull, dark, state of motionless ignorance as you stare blankly at the spot on the poster which has become the emblem of the eternal void you will remember for the rest of your natural life?
