Title: OK, this simply has to stop - Sproutarians
Post by: Cain on April 12, 2010, 11:26:04 PM
Oh yes, you thought fruitarians were taking it a step too far, but these guys are way on the other side of crazyville (http://www.naturalhealthbuzz.com/fruitarian-juicearian-sproutarian.html).

QuoteA Sproutarian is one who eats mainly sprouts. Sprouts are said to be extremely nutritious because they contain everything the plant needs to grow, that is, protein, carbohydrate and oil. When the seed germinates these turn into natural sugars and predigested amino acids which the plant then uses as food. When we eat the sprouts, we are eating the life force of the plant which has the energy capable of generating cells. It is for this reason that it is thought that sprouts can help to slow down the aging process.

Sprouts also contain female as well as male hormones and contain the highest amounts of vitamins of any food. Almost any seed can be sprouted. Broccoli sprouts is said to be extremely healthy and they don't taste so bad either. You could try sprouting seeds at home and some popular ones to try include alfalfa, peas, fenugreek, fennel and celery seed.

Or you could try a balanced diet and plenty of exercise, like normal people.

Sources indicate there may be considerable overlap between the two groups, but I'm finding nothing so far...then again, I've been up for 25 hours now, so I'm probably doing it wrong.

i can't see the site behind my works nannywall....  :sad:
what's the crazy with these folks?  sprouts are supposed to be pretty nutritious, aren't they?
i mean, i guess it's probably not the most efficient use of resources in the vein of food weight per seed, but...
do they make ridiculous claims?  (like the breatharians do?)

we need more ridiculous 'X'-arians....
hm... perhaps something blatantly corporate, like Monsontarians claiming that by eating only Monsonto branded produce one can live significantly longer.
or perhaps humanarians claiming that eating solely sloughed off skin, fingernails, and hair is beneficial (what could be more balanced for human consumption than human, after all?)

Sprouts are delicious on sandwiches.

However, eating mainly sprouts seems like it would clean your system out in a fairly violent fashion, on an unpleasant level.

There's a pleasant way to clean out your system violently?

Sometimes a good violent expulsion makes everything better. I am pretty sure than on a diet consisting mainly of sprouts, making "everything better" is not an option.

I do it all the time.  I am the bane of restaurant bathrooms everywhere.

There is inadequate talk of eating babies in this thread.

SRSLY, eating sprouts wastes seeds.  Less nutrition per seed put in the ground, possibly less productivity per unit farmland.  How decadent.

if you are ever in need of assessing your situation, i'm fairly certain that i could evaluate your colon pressure based on nothing more than your current posting activity...

These sproutarians are weak.  Clearly, only alfalfa sprouts should be eaten.

Since starting homebrewing I have discovered that live yeast is a great way to clean your colon.  Just in case the doktor or anyone else needs more ammunition in their shatgun.

I've discovered giant banquets and a dodgy digestion system are also a great mix.  I must've expelled a metric ton (liquid) of excrement last night.

Oh yes.

In Austria I had some stuff called "Sturm", which is white wine that's not quite done fermenting. It's fizzy and extra sweet (because not all sugar turned into alcohol yet) and indeed contains a good amount of live yeast.

It caused me quite the shitsturm.

As well as I now have a better idea what "violent" means in the context of bowel movement.

It's how you get the sturm down. You have to drang it.

A term I got from Secret Society Wars.  One of the weapons is a shatgun which uses poop as ammunition.  Unfortunately it is not a very good weapon, the double barreled bananna blaster is far better.

Sturm is what they call it in Austria. What is drang? Also an Austrian word? If so, either could be a regional word.

In other poop-related linguistic news, in Dutch, the word "drang" means "urge". Take that as you wish.

Sturm und Drang is a term for a particular sort of melodrama, I believe.  I always thought it meant thunder and lightning.
