Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 For the purpose of the message, the frame is about breakfast on one day out of a daily exercise plan that is expected to last for 8 hours each and every day. From my experience a blt in no way compares to a pork chop and eggs. A few points must be condsidered in order to understand the comparison. I my opinion A typical bacon lettuce and tomatoe sandwich on whole wheat bread has minimal nutritional value. The bread is usually full of yeast so that the baked product carries alot of air, vitamins and minerals are added to the typical bread because the processsing of the grain destroys the original goodness of wheat, and sometimes bran is added to present semi whole wheat bread as whole wheat bread. The bread carries a preservative from most bakeries so production can be planned to meet the demand. Unless the bakery used vegetable oil, then amimal fats are used in the bread. In ether case the oil or fat is cooked and turns the fat into the harmful fat that can clog the body up. The Tomatoe is inadequate, usually two thin slices. The lettuce is inadequate, usually from iceberg lettuce which has minimal nutritional value. The one or two strips of bacon are usually fried on a grill or in oil, and tends to be crispy, the way it is served, but has little or no nutrition value except for the fat. Even if you had three of these BLT's they could not come even close to the nutritional value of a pork chop and eggs. My guess is that after three hours of walking the BLT eater would be hungry again and want three more BLT's, and by 4:00 pm this person would be starving and again require another 3 BLT's. And after eating all that food, they would still be depleated of necessary vitamins and minerals and balanced protien, causing them to feel hungery in between meals and they would crave chocolate bars and cola to pep them up. On the other hand the pork chop and egg eater might not want the snacks, and only a small lunch, and a light dinner before going to sleep. The heavy meal would have been eaten in the morning before the daily exercise, resulting in burning off most of the fat consumed but retaining vitamines, minerals and protien for muscle and organ regeneration. I submit that the BLT eater in the morning is starving to death slowly, and thinks that eating a big dinner sitting in the stomach digesting all night saves them from the hospital cardiac and stroke wards.
