why am i insisting on nectarines? why not get peaches? aren't they really the same fucking thing?

well, the data i've been able to find suggests there is a difference in inositol, but i'm wondering if it's really substantive.

i posted the source:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a4fe/6e428501f09d5bf283459527b87dbf432aa3.pdf

it's pretty clear:

nectarines - 1.18 mg/g

peach (fresh) - .58 mg/g

i've found further examples of this data in multiple published sources (including a few published textbooks at google books), so it seems like it's well regarded, at least. i've then found multiple claims that inositol is virtually undetectable in peaches.

but, they're the same fucking thing.

i know - it doesn't make sense. it's been published many times, but i'm questioning the source. is it about how they're grown? was that a specific grower? at a specific time?

i kind of want to take a step back from it, regardless, for two reasons:

1) the nectarines i found were kind of expensive, and trucked or (hopefully not.) flown in from california. that seems very silly. i can call on ontario growers to produce more nectarines, but i can't imagine them out of thin air.

2) the data that i penciled in - 129 g - seems to be far smaller than anything i'm going to find in a store. the average fruit of this type seems to be more like 175-190 g.

so, if i'm given the choice between peaches and nectarines, it seems like i want to pick nectarines - even if i'm skeptical about the truth of the whole thing. but, if i don't have the choice, i need to ask if i should make due with what exists, and ponder if a peach is good enough.

so, i want to extract as much goodness as i can, but how much do i actually need?

300 - (19.5 + 69 + 102 + 20.09 + 9.9 + 14.85 + 2.75 + 13.65) = 48.26.

so, i only need 50 mg to meet the requirements; the 150 from the nectarine is exorbitant.

then, how big does a peach need to be to make it worthwhile?

.58*x = 50 <---> x = 50/.58 = 86

it seems, then, that peaches are indeed good enough.

other fruits i could plug in:

- mangoes: .99 mg/g

- pear: .73 mg/g

so, i'll need to do a three-way comparison for these three items - mango, pear, peach - to determine which is the better stable source of inositol, as well as b5 & choline.

for now, i've got ten relatively large nectarines to enjoy.

...& i need to crunch some numbers for the fibre add - how much fibre do i need to meet the betaine requirements?

you'll notice that the federal government doesn't tend to say much about an actual land claim in caledonia, though - not when property is the prime consideration.

none of the parties in parliament would stand up against real estate developers in southern ontario; they're not an easy target, like the fishing union out east is.

while i would like to see a solution that upholds the primacy of egalitarianism and ensures everybody's rights are respected, i'm primarily an environmental activist, not an indigenous rights activists, and i don't really have a horse in this race. the thing in caledonia is truly complicated, and i don't want to get into it. neither side of the debate is absolutely right, and they're going to have to find some way to co-exist. but, there isn't an explicitly environmental concern, and my interest is consequently rather minimal.

but, i'm upfront and honest about it - i don't talk out of whatever side of my ass i think is going to give me a poll bump this week.

the indigenous groups in canada know that the political establishment is full of fickle friends. the politicians are only fooling themselves.

but, it's no coincidence that they tend to align on the side of capital, and only care about the indians when they have a buck that can be made from doing so.

this update has taken far longer than i wanted it to, because i tried to avoid sleeping last night to get nectarines in the morning (done.) and then had to wait until the afternoon because it was raining and then had to actually sleep. on top of that, the disgusting pigs upstairs are back at it again, after having stopped for a brief while. it's frustrating, but there's no use in cleaning in here until that issue is dealt with - and it could be quite a while, it seems.

i don't know why they keep starting and stopping, except...

it doesn't seem to be the main dude cop that smokes but some kind of female sidekick, and the dude cop at the least tolerates it in ways i never will and don't want to. i keep calling on the pigs to send me a cop that doesn't smoke, please - if they have to continue to monitor me while i harmlessly type into my computer. fucking idiots....

let me just finish this up before i catch up on breakfast.

the purpose of the lime is inositol (10%+ the rdi), but it's also another decent shot of c. there are more obscure benefits to limes that i'll get to later; this add wasn't random. but, i put it in now to get to the 30% inositol levels, and that now closes that problem in the first two meals. a glass of citrus juice with the eggs will get me up over 1000, total.

limes are cheap and plentiful, and i intend to eat them with the pith, but not the peel. i wish i could get better data, but it's assumed in this culture that you're wasteful. so, i'm undershooting it and i know it.

maybe i'll make a video in the end showing the world how i do it, but for now i'm gong to update the chart a little to specify how i'm eating certain things.

and, i'll just dump the data in....data from usda unless otherwise noted, as always.

b4: as before, this is both unclear and relatively unimportant.

i had to use the "lime juice" entry at the usda, and it might at first seem like an underestimate. but, my other sources put oranges and grapefruits around .11-.13 mg/100g, so .12*.67 = 0.0804, which is about right. i'm going to stick with the .088.

(.2 + 103.4 + .42 + .44 + 106+ .088)/550 = 0.38281454545, which is no further change in the chart.

there was a typo in the amount of vitamin c in kiwis that's been corrected. i dropped the '6' in '69'.

i've also got some sunflower seeds for this bowl, but i need to add the fibre for the fruit bowl in first as the next add.

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

specific brands used:

- natura vanilla soy milk (light)

- chapman's black cherry ice cream

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- vector cereal

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- selection brand pasta [metro/food basics]

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- irrestibles brand olive canola oil [metro/food basics]

- dempster's whole grain double flax bread

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- natura chocolate soy milk

- no specific brand or type of coffee

diet options:

daily:

1) bran/fibre option for the fruit bowl will boost betaine a lot

2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- yogurt is high in b5 and b8 and b12 and choline and d.

- beets good for betaine

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- lemon/lime (probably for phytonutrients)

- garlic cloves (probably for phytonutrients)
- oregano & pepper (probably for phytonutrients)

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- sunflower seeds are high in b5 & high in e, with small amounts of choline but high amounts of omega-6. it doesn't really add up here, but may be better in the pasta bowl (after i work out the yogurt). b15/dmg.

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

3) eggs:
~~- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)~~

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

- soy meat () <----only choice, really

- orange juice (1 cup) (15% b1, 4% b2, 5% b3, 5% b5, 5% b6, 19% b9, 207% c, added e?)

- grapefruit juice is high in inositol

- cranberry juice (unsweetened. need added c, has e)

- tomato juice

need: 6% b1, 75% b3, 45% b4, 65% b5, 15% b6, 25% b8, 55% b9, 60% b12, 10% k

it's always ironic when dead people leave us songs about death.

wise words from the departed, indeed.

lime will be up soon.

& broccoli is overrated.

it's true.

the amish times may have a long future in front of it.

the rest of the world will move on.

"but, that's what we're trying to prevent!"

you will fail.

you can't fight against technological determinism; the teleology wins, in the end, as contrived as it is.

you work with technology, or you get wiped away by it - those are your choices.

well, there's a very good reason that we have antitrust restrictions on media companies, actually.

there's an insight of good analysis here, though, in the sense that it's recognizing that the idea of a newspaper may be entering into the realm of history, in favour of the idea of a writer. if we're pondering the absurdity of treating individual media companies like individual citizens and giving them collective bargaining power, then maybe it's time to liquidate the papers and give those rights to the individuals that work there, instead.

if this is trying to be a socialist approach, it's missing the point: the revolution is in the mode of production.

the industry should be encouraged to adapt - and fail, when the circumstances call for it - rather than be propped up by a government trying to artificially maintain an obsolete status quo. things change; everything dies. you adjust, or you disappear.

i don't know exactly what the media of the future looks like, nobody does. but, if the scare mongering is that we're going to lose the establishment media, i'd instead state "good riddance". i would rather see a vibrant blogosphere of freelancers develop that operates outside of the realm of business normality, and if the best counter-argument lies in the ability of the mainstream media to shape and control opinion for the state, i'd suggest it's rather clear that that battle has already been lost.

the newspaper was the invention of the printing press; what the website will replace that with may not be clear, but what is certain is that it cannot be reversed.

if there's anything to be socialized, here, it ought to be in the means of production, and i think there's a lot of space to nationalize large amounts of what these tech companies do.

i am personally content to write in freedom, in exchange for a gai. i wouldn't have it any other way.

the e is coming, but i ran out to get some groceries today and i need to get that data in, first. i'm starting with the pasta bowl because that's what i'm eating first, and these updates should really get me over the hump.

i need to get the yogurt in to finish the meal, but, in the process of searching for soy milk earlier in the month, i bought an obscure brand on an impulse buy. so, i've been eating my pasta with that since i ran out of casear, and it's not awful, if a little watery. i don't want to throw it out, so it'll have to do for a few weeks. and, i mean, it's not a bad sub for yogurt, nutritionally - it's got some b12, even if it's low on d.

rather, the first thing i picked up were beets, & explicitly for the betaine. so, that's what this update is about.

data from the usda, unless specified.

vitamin a: 1.64 μg

918.5 + 314 + 1.14583333333 + 1.64 = 1235.28583333

1235.28583333/900 = 137%, still

vitamin: b1: .025 mg

.108 + .0174 + .0726 + .025 + .1275 = 0.3505

.3505/1.2 = 29%

so, that's an increase of 2%

vitamin b2: .033 mg

.17 + .2568 + .0638 + .033 + .0285 = 0.5521

0.5521/1.3 = 0.42469230769---->42%

so, that's +2%

vitamin b3: .274 mg

1.958 + .0354 + 1.0813 + .274 + 0.92 = 4.2687

4.2687/16 = 0.26679375----> 26.5%

so, that's a 1.5% boost

vitamin b4:?.

i can't find this on google, and i'm past the rdi. you'd think that gene content of beets is not that different than carrots, which would be low.

vitamin b5: .127 mg

(.634 + .23705 + .246 +.3003 + .127 + .056)/5 = 0.32007--->32%

so, that's +3%.

vitamin b6: .055 mg

(.582 + .0781+ .0396 + .1518 + .055 + .06)/1.7 = 0.56852941176----->57%

so, that's +3.5%.

vitmain b7: ~0

this site claims trace amounts:

http://apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data4h.html

vitamin b8: .12*82 = 9.84 mg

source: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a4fe/6e428501f09d5bf283459527b87dbf432aa3.pdf

(114 + 41.25 + 5.4 + 13.2 + 9.84 + 14.85)/1000 = 0.19854--->20%

(note that i corrected the number for pasta by doing the calculation in one step rather than two)

i've added a lime for inositol and that will update this morning as well.

vitamin b9: 89.4

(92 + 16.2 + 20.9 + 89.4 + 1.1)/400 = .549--->55%

that's a 22.5% boost that actually allows beets to take over for carrots as a b9 source. it also takes folate over 300%, total.

b12, b13 & b14 are not present in beets.

vitamin b15: 106 mg

(.2 + 103.4 + .42 + .44 + 106)/550 = 0.38265454545--->38%

this completes the requirements for this meal, and presents pasta & beet, together, as sufficient requirements for b15.

vitamin b16: 4.92 mg

(11.2 + 8.25 + 9.9 + 9.68 + 4.92 + 12.3)/550 = 0.10227272727--->10%

so, that's +1%.

vitamin b20: .02*.161*.82 = 0.0026404 mg ~ 0 mg

source: https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5481&context=utk_graddiss

that link disappeared rather quickly (it seems to have been some kind of backdoor, as a few of these links have been, so i apologize if they disappear; i'll do a final review in the end and see if i can collect some of these sources more formally...although it came back as quickly as it disappeared), hopefully this one is more stable:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/eaf9/e6a5c2ce0b99ee4442a3cf9ac74a39f896d0.pdf

the data is about the same, with the second link presenting .0195 instead of .02. note that the second link will let me enter in data for strawberries & coffee as 0, as well; the first lets me zero out soy.

vitamin c: 4.02 mg

(255.4 + 6.49 + 4.02 + 0.05)/90 = 2.95511111111--->295.5%.

so, that's +4.5%.

there is no vitamin d in beets.

as mentioned, the next add is the lime.
