Bitch ate all the toast and I'm too lazy to do any more.
I'm having cereal for lunch I'm so lazy. Probably still in my dressing gown.
Not my new one though. That would be silly.

It was for breakfast because I'm not tending to eat tea at the minute, meaning I'm starving first thing in the morning.

We are cleary omnivorous. You can choose not to eat some foods for your believes, but not because it's good for your body. If you stop eating some foods you need supplements so your body doesn't stop working.
I have a friend who loves gardening and has planted a lot of fruit and vegs. They're starting to give fruit now, but she can't eat them because she's sawn them growing. She has no problem with supermarket ones.

I'm cleary wrong there. I just say what the doctor told me. I know you get a lot of iron from lentils (mmmmm... lentils) and fruit and vegs have tons of vitamins. I just understood you needed supplements. Maybe for proteins? You get the fat from butter and oil, I imagine.

it's probably fair to say it depends on the individual. Everyone's metabolism is slightly different, and presumably everyone's requirement for iron, vitamins, beer, etc will differ. Most veggies make up their iron easily enough by eating spinach, but some people will just need to eat red meat and liver.
I am, however, fairly sure that my housemate's diet, which is quite the opposite extreme (very carnivorous), whilst rich in protein and iron, is probably not doing him any good at all.

I thought she was just a mad Scot who liked to look at poo, but it was after reading a bit of Ben Goldacre that I found out about these ridiculous claims she was making. The way he picks apart that particular example is hilarious, basically along the lines of
1. Chlorophyll requires light to convert CO2 into oxygen. Your body will absorb this chlorophyll through your bowels. If there were any source of light in your bowels, then there would be something seriously wrong with you.
2. Assuming there was enough light in there for the chlorophyll to function, it would start producing oxygen. Lots of oxygen, in a warm environment full of methane. Might cause some complications.

As long as you stay far from an ignition source you should be fine. That can be complicated to do if your belly is so thin/full of holes that light can reach your bowels.

Put enough oxygen into an environment and you start to lower the ignition temperature...
