Question one: We have recently lost our flat mate of high nutritional value, can you tell me where I can get a flat mate of equal or higher nutritional value?
I recommend going to DTR, you can hire all sorts of goods there – refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and even flat mates. Another thing you can do is put an advertisement on Trade Me’s Flat Mate Wanted page. However, there are no guarantees that the flat mate you purchase will be as highly nutritious as the awesome flat mate you once had. Lastly, you can advertise in a newspaper, such as Chaff. Again, there is no guarantee that you will get a high quality flat mate.
Question two: What is more nutritious, Styrofoam or cardboard?
Cardboard is made mostly from cellulose, which is a type of fibre found in plants. Styrofoam on the other hand is made of polystyrene, a type of plastic. From this information, I would have to say that cardboard is more nutritious since the body needs fibre but it does not need plastic. However, I don’t recommend eating cardboard because after all it does taste like cardboard.
Question three: What do you think of the Raw Food Diet?
First all, I should clarify what the Raw Food Diet entails. It is a diet which consists mainly (or entirely) of uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic food. The diet may include a selection of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, meat and unpasteurized dairy products.
From this bit of information, I would have to say that the benefit of this diet is that it is low in processed foods. Processed foods high in additives and some people may be unable to consume them. They’re often high in refined sugar, salt and trans fat, which can be harmful in large amounts. Sugar can cause dental cavities, and a diet high in salt and trans fat can lead to high blood pressure. Another benefit of this diet is that it is rich in fruit and vegetables, which is always a good thing.
However, on the downside, since the Raw Food Diet is free of cooked foods, it is harder to remove harmful bacteria. This is particularly bad for pregnant women. Eating un-pasteurized dairy products and raw egg is not recommended for pregnant women, as they un-pasteurized dairy products may contain microbes, which can be harmful to the fetus.
Additionally, you may miss out on some nutrients such as vitamin B12, which is found in meat and Marmite.
Question four: What do you think of the Airplane Diet?
The Airplane diet was founded by a man named Michael Lotito in 1978, when he discovered that humans (or at least he) could consume airplanes. Michael is an entertainer who is famous for consuming “inedibles” such as metal, glass, rubber, bicycles, and televisions. It has been estimated that from 1959-1997 he has eaten nearly 9 tons of metal. He does not suffer any ill effects due to his diet, even though he often eats things, which are considered poisonous. In my opinion, I don’t recommend that the average person follows the Airplane Diet.
