I'm not sure what you mean. You felt sick because of what, exactly?

I just ate cake last night, and some tonight. Brother had a birthday party. The thing about birthday cakes these days that you can buy from the store, I've realized, is they seem to pile on the frosting. Everytime I eat one of their cakes it scares me that I might slip into a diabetic coma.

They are good, yes. But not really healthy.

Now what do you think of this?


Looks good! Never eaten a cake with strawberry halves on it.

When I mean sick, I feel so tired, cannot think normally and I have stomach aches.
I feel fortunate that at last I can eat cakes without feeling ill.
All the other places around sell the same thing.

Little bit of bread with too much of cream as a chocolate eclair.
This shop puts in chocolate in their eclairs or coffee and I don't get cream all over me whilst eating.

Not all chocolate is bad after finding this:

Of course chocolate isn't bad for you! Any female could have told you that! tongue.gif

And if it was a female who told you chocolate was bad, then she was either in total denial, or just one of those killjoys who simply can't be reasonable about anything.

As far as school lunches went, I never had much of a problem with them since I only ate a few things they served, then took a lunch box every other day (although, because of that I refuse to this day to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). The first couple of years I was in high school, I would take money to get stuff out of the vending machines, but I quit that after I put on too much weight. After that my lunches consisted of a bottle of frappacino and twenty milligrams of Ritalin.

That, and I realized it was much more profitable to grab the fallen and forgotten change left behind from the people who still depended on their daily rations of cookies, soda, and potato chips. wink.gif

EDIT: Speaking of cakes, it is my opinion that the groom's cake at a wedding is THE GOD OF ALL CAKES. I had some at my brother's wedding last year, and the thing was solid fudgey chocolate, with strawberries on top decorated with frosting to look like they were wearing little tuxedos.

Just the memory makes me salivate. It was like an orgasm for the taste buds... wub.gif

In the places I paid for the cheap food I don't think I could ever reason with the people there. They make impossible demands on me but I couldn't make any on them. I brought packed lunches along sometimes with chicken sandwiches and burgers but I don't think that made any differences as they were also packed full of chemicals as thought of now. I never knew much about the side effects of chemicals as I do now.

Well there was no such thing as Green and Blacks years ago. It is not normal to feel tired after eating a bar of chocolate or any rough changes in behaviour but I couldn't think then anyway.

I am pleased that there are improvements and I am no longer blind by that.

For the cake I think it is under $40, quite reasonable and it was made the day I collected it. There was another cake in the same size for the party with cake coating on the sides but not as decorative as this one ontop.

i believe that school cafeteria food (at least our cafeteria) is all recycled. we had fried chicken, then chicken nuggets, than chicken noodles. i don't think the lunches have any nutrients in them.


You know what really gets me mad (other then everything on planet)? Is that some cockmongering fuckwit replaced our cafeteria with a "Cantina" thats owned not by the school but by a private company, so now we get the same crappy food at TWICE THE NORMAL PRICE! Whats more our school is the richest and best in Canberra, so there is no need for us to sell out!

The only upside is that I dont eat at the Cantina.

That's pretty bad! What a cop-out.

It depends on if you do manual labor or not to burn off some of the sugar. Sugar and all those other chemicals aren't necessarily bad, if you have a chance to work them off. But if you are sitting behind a desk... yeah. You'll feel bad eventually.

my high school had a pretty decent cafetera with a deli counter where they'd make you pretty much any kind of sandwich you wanted. but now that I'm gone, they've apparently changed it so that all the meats and cheeses are in little partitions of n slices each, so the people making the sandwiches don't put on 'too much.' fucking cheapskates.

and supposedly, chocolate is even good for you, especially the really dark kind. I forget exactly why, but I'm sure you can find it on wikipedia or something if you can be bothered. also, chocolate was originally marketed as a quick and convenient breakfast food!

I just know why the "really dark kind of chocolate" is handed out to soldiers. pinch.gif And that's enough, no further investigation needed.

Darker chocolate means it has been processed on a lesser basis. The lighter the chocolate, the more things that have been put into it, which means it isn't healthy.

Well of course I would be sitting on a table, but it would still show on me and make me feel too tired to do any labour work.

Well I think that chocolate is good like most foods except depending on what they put additionally inside or the corners they try to cut whilst making it. Sugar gives me a boost of energy but the colourings and chemicals impacts on my thinking, my behaviour changes according to other people and I don't notice.

The Organic milk chocolate is good for that; I can eat an entire bar and not feel tired afterwards.

Not so bad if it is organic white chocolate.

But just seeing now I am disappointed with Soya Lecithin.

DS: Part of the reason that you may be feeling tired after eating is because your blood pools to your stomach to better digest and absorb the nutrients of what you've recently eaten.

Dark chocolate's delicious.

Oh I am aware of that but not to a degree of becoming physically lethargic for the whole day.
I feel tired sometimes after over eating but not as severe to the effects to what I have experienced. The cheap box of chocolates did many times and that is not as big in quantity as a Green and Black's whole bar.

For example I had a quarter of the quality birthday cake, my body might have felt like it was heavy after eating so much of the food but not a change in state of mind. The last cake I had years ago was a toffee cake from a market shop. A little piece of that cake made me very sleepy, maybe it could be to do with the sugar they put in. They still sell them but it is packed full of e numbers and flavourings.

I am allergic to cows milk but I can tolerate a little amount. Which could be why I feel tired after consuming excess amounts. When it is used in cakes the effects don't seem to be as worse.

Isn't white chocolate just called confectionary? That's what I thought.

Dark chocolate's okay, but milk chocolate is better! wub.gif
