Take your berries and soak them in a water/vinegar solution to wash off the pesticides.

Berries are one of the most heavily pesticide sprayed foods.

i thought you were some kinda expert on nutrition and yet you post this shitty article that you havent even read?

"The benefits of eating blueberries and strawberries may far outweigh any health risks. Dr. Eric Rimm of Harvard Medical School advises people of all ages to eat more berries for heart health."

Choose berries certified as organic, which indicates they were grown without the use of pesticides.

I ran a mile in 6 minutes 45 seconds a few years back, on my fourth run [once weekly for three weeks].

LiveStrong said I was in the top 1% for my age group [31 to 34, I think they wrote]. Not sure if that's accurate, but most people are so out of shape these days.

Can LiveStrong be trusted?

Organic fruits and veggies are more heavily treated with organic pesticides than non-organic types with non-organic pesticides.

Just because a pesticide is organic doesn't mean it is safe.

When I was 12 or 13 a girl and I went to the park to play tennis.  After an hour or two we walked back to her house.  We were both very sweaty and in need of a cool refreshment.  After sipping some ice water, we decided to fool around.  She had very, very nice tits and they were extremely sweaty.  I still relish to this day suckling them.  However, my curiosity led to me exploring the area between her legs commonly known as the pussy.  I probed around a little then my curiosity led to me putting my face in the vicinity.  I probably got to within 6 inches of placing my tongue on her clit.  All of the sudden, the stench hit me full force.  To this day, I don't know how I managed not to puke.  Also, 30 some years later I can still smell that odorous funk.

Did you cleanse your palette with some high fiber raspberries? literally the best source of fiber on earth. The soluble fiber would have soaked up the ammonia you were smelling and the rich antioxidants and polypheols would have made her sticky, terse labia pliable to the tongue.

No, this was probably 1986 and I was light years away from acquiring any nutritional aptitude.  

That particular day ended with me coming up for air without letting her know how repulsed I was.  I suckled her tits some more and she stroked my dick for a little while.  Then her parents pulled up so we snuck out into the backyard as if we had been shooting baskets for a while.

so you went down and shot back up and she never questioned anything? I once finger banged a young gender fluid female in the woods as a youth. Not knowing what i know now I thought the lubrication was a little over the top, however, I had been doing captains of crush for a while and thought that my digitus medius game was on point. However after a while I got the faint smell of pennies, knowing that she only carried plastic my suspicions were aroused. I looked down to find that my hand was covered in plasma, roughly down to my wrist. I will be honest, I panicked, got up said some weird shit and ran to the local store to clean myself off. I came back about 20 minutes later to find her in the same spot and I decided to latch.

I'm in my 60's and was never a good distance runner. Much better as a sprinter. In high school I ran two 5:15 miles. At 27 I was still running sub 6 minute miles. Now especially with my recent Achilles injury I can be timed in the mile with an hour glass.  If my Achilles isn't torn but just sprained I hope to get back into running with my weight workouts.

"I think therefore i am"

Interestingly, Descartes wasn't the first to assert this about self-awareness/self-existence.  Augustine made a similar argument against the skeptics who claimed we could be certain about anything, to which Augustine replied that we can be certain we exist and are thinking. The other philosopher to use that was Avicenna in his "floating man" thought experiment. I forget the details now, but the idea was that a man, completely removed from all sense data (the five senses) would still be aware that he exists and is thinking. Descartes of course would have been familiar with these men and probably borrowed the idea from them (though he put it to use for a very different purpose).

not a big fan of Descartes and his dualism. I think therefore I am is also incorrect, Being is prior to thought and require no thought to sense. Thoughts are objects, subtle ones but they are objects none the less. Pure subjectivity is that which observes thoughts, awareness is reflexively self aware. We are not our thoughts nor are we in control of them! there is no self brother.

Berries are one of the most heavily pesticide sprayed foods.

This

The vinegar/water bath also helps to keep them from getting moldy so quickly.  Of course, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.

There definitely can be some problems with dualism of mind/soul and body. For one, we must affirm that we are our bodies. We are not a ghost trapped in and operating a body. Nay, we are in fact a body. But I would argue that our experience also indicates that we are not a physical body alone. Our experience of the world includes and incorporal element, for example, your experience of seeing this screen right now. The material light waves bounce off your retina, which send signals to your brain, which produces this experience of sight. The experience itself is not material, however. Also, when it comes to our being in control of our thoughts, and our not being our thoughts but us merely being aware of them, well I think you've basically contradicted yourself. If you are aware of your thoughts, then what are you? Where are you? This reflexive self-awareness, as you put it, indicates a transcendent incorporal element separate from the brain and body. But I don't think that is the case! Rather, we are very much in control of our thoughts (even though we are not absolutely in control of them). And there are many evidences which point towards this being the case. Our being able to intentionally change our thoughts and moods is probably the best proof (as is the common experience of all humans). Remember William James. "My first act of free will was deciding to believe in it."

You were close to the answer but you went back off into dualism Taylor. The eternal tao that can be spoken is not the eternal tao. There is no self, the self is a conception, one that changes from moment to moment. you are separating up experience into incorporeal and material, they go together, they are not separate in the first place. I would tend to agree with you in terms of incorporeal, in a stoic sense, lekta and the like but I don't think you are going far enough, spinoza would be my suggestion for you with regards to this discussion, maybe ruyer, his sense of the incorporeal was the modes of the two attributes, extension and thought,neither independently existing but just two of the infinite number of attributes possible of the one substance. You see it's paraconsistent logic a dialetheism! the logical posivitists were wrong, Godel showed this much.

Your sense of self is an illusion, an illusion run by the default mode network or the task negative network. Split brain patients show this much, there are two selves in these people. Shut down the DMN and you will experience pure undifferentiated consciousness. You are stuck in your ego mind my friend, there is a pre-linguistic real a invariant pre-representational that needs no thought, there is something prior to thought, my speaking about he moon is not the moon itself, the thoughts, words etc are not the thing-in-itself (Ding an sich). You think you are the body, thats just a thought, the observer is in fact the observed, you cannot have an observer without something to observe, they go together, thats why its called non-duality, its not two! you are simultaneously the body the mind, the explicate but also the implicate awareness which is the absolute truth. Nagarjuna would also be a good person to read up on, his two truths are very much paraconsistent, an absolute (very much spinozin) and a relative, non-duality contains duality but cannot be conceived, its beyond thought which is inherently dualistic.

To the question of what are you if you aren't your thoughts? Nothing!! there is no self! its pure subject ie not a thing, thoughts are objects unless you think everything is objective? you will discover the subjective, the realize that the subject and object are not in fact separate, they are two sides of the same coin which no reductionism can reach. You are denying consciousness apart from thought. I promise you that you in fact have no control over your thoughts, you have no idea what thought is coming next and the thoughts you believe are yours are pure conditioning. Same with your body, you aren't in control of that either, it ages, changes without your will the vast majority of things going on it it, heart beating, thyroid working, digesting are going on without you! you know why? there is no you, that's just a fucking thought, a helpful one. If you want to get to the truth you simply drop all beliefs, the truth is self-evident and requires no belief, its nothing and everything all at once.

Great suggestion, Watts is the man. Let me know if you would like to add anything else to his list.

The quickest way to do it is psychedelics they revert the brain to a more atavistic state or hyperconnectivity. The best way to do it is meditation and achieving no-mind or mushin.

I agree with this part of the article.

Too Much Fiber

Raw berries are packed with fiber – more than most other fruits, according to registered dietitian Sharon Palmer on the Today’s Dietitian website. Fiber aids with digestion and elimination and can help lower your cholesterol. Strawberries contain 3 grams per 1-cup serving, while blueberries supply 4 grams of the 25 to 38 grams of fiber needed daily by women and men. But if you add too much fiber to your diet too quickly, you may experience gas, bloating and cramps. Also, too much fiber may interfere with the absorption of some minerals, such as iron and calcium. Talk to your doctor about your fiber needs and how to reach your daily goal.
