It's actually hard to find authentic Mexican food in Canada. I guess they don't make it all the way up here, or the cold just keeps them away. As a gourmand, I'm almost embarrassed to say that I have never tried mole.

Its pretty dumb because you can find the best mole in powder or creamy-like texture. I mean, we get fresh lobster from canada, and mole can hang around way longer without becoming bad than lobster.
I think nobody has had the combo of being smart enough and having the funds to make a restaurant of real good mexican food. Some guys open business but they get shitty tortillas, they buy the worst meat and so on. I think even if you make a good Mexican restaurant in canada or usa the whole stigma would scare many clients off but we really have amazing food in Mexico.

If you're going to eat a grain, rice is probably the least problematic, and brown rice even less problematic than that. Generally I avoid it.

What i've read seems to go against this

"The biggest issue with brown rice is it is loaded with anti-nutrients. According to the Weston A. Price Foundation, approximately 0.84-0.99% of the dry weight of brown rice is phytic acid. That may not sound like a lot, but compare that to wheat flour, which contains 0.25-1.37% phytic acid per dry weight. Since white rice has the bran and germ removed, the phytic acid content is roughly on par with white potatoes, which rank in at 0.111-0.269%. If that sounds high, compare it to the precious almond, a darling of the Paleo/Primal community. The almond ranks in at 1.35-3.22% phytic acid, making it one of the worst offenders on the list. In fact, most nuts are higher in phytic acid content than grains. In short, the phytic acid content of white rice is rather negligible and does not require soaking. Levels will be even lower after boiling. In essence, white rice is a relatively “clean” starch and I consider it to be benign, or at least as benign as Paleo/Primal starches such as potatoes and yams"

Dolce failed nunya. Now, as he prepares for WSOP, he took the paleo diet. Thats a champ!

I've read things saying that, and the other. Either way, I don't touch the stuff; so admittedly I haven't done a great deal of research.

We just dont have many Mexicans up here. Everyone that looks like a Mexican or has a Mexican name turns out to be Filipino I think it will catch on though. Toronto has an insane foodie culture (if you watched bourdain's layover in Toronto you'd think everyone here was some kinda of hipster). One of the most popular restaurants is a place that serves tacos.. called grand electric. I think its far from authentic mexican though.

too bad its so hard to eat healthy for cheap. I've been trying to eat a bunch of starchy vegetables lately, like lotus root, taro, squash... but you really cant get the same satisfaction. Smoke a joint? then you're royally ******...its like you have to eat 2-3x the weight of paleo food to feel the same level of fullness

Toronto has rabid UFC fans.. even though the Rogers centre seats nearly 50,000 , the cheap seats are still close to $200

Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. Those are the only three cities i would recommend you visit if you came to Canada. Unless you're the outdoors type, then there are lots of places to visit.

Hit me up if you do make it here, i'll make sure to burn you some of that BC kush. Or montreal kush if we're feeling cheap. or local shit if you're just poor

Paleo is such a ridiculously ignorant way to live.

"I want to exclude foods that I deem harmful to myself, so I'll subscribe to the diet that most accurately fits what I consider 'healthy' and I'll follow it as devotedly as possible."

Man up, pussies. You can exclude grains and "processed foodz" and whatever else without taking on what is effectively a fad diet (semi-baiting here, the Paleo response to being called a fad diet always makes me laugh).

If I seem a bit critical, it's because I despise pretty much any diet that has a label. People should tailor their diets to themselves and their needs, factoring in what they personally wish to include and exclude. Choosing a set of rules defined by others is just a ludicrous concept to me.

Not talking about anyone specific here by the way. Especially not Nunya, guy's a pimp. Paleo still sucks though.

Your comment is ridiculously ignorant.

You constantly make baseless ascertations on this site, and continue to back them in the face of all evidence.

I lead a data-driven life. I monitor my blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, pain levels, food intake, and activity level daily.

When I was diagnosed with a crippling disease, I decided that I could either beat it, or let it beat me. I came across the ideas behind the paleo/primal diet and reluctantly tried it. I did not expect good results and am generally a skeptical person. In a month's time I improved on every single metric I tested for, every single one. And suddenly, I was getting the best sleep of my life, no tossing and turning, just good relaxing sleep.

Everyone I have shared my diet with in my support group that has tried it has also had similar results, as has my wife.

I doubt most people are capable of 'tailoring a diet to themselves', as most people do not track any data on themselves, or even pay attention to the way they feel from day to day.

If I have to choose between some dumb dumb on an internet forum thinking I'm ignorant, or being able to stand again, I'll choose the latter.

Errrr... I do? You say it's a baseless assertion, but it actually, for one, has a lot of base, and two, is an opinion towards something. It's my personal dislike of something, in this case paleo diets. It's a bit of a stretch to call a dislike of something "baseless" and "in the face of all evidence".

Whether or not a paleo diet can improve your life has nothing to do with my comments, and whether or not a paleo diet improved your life or the lives of people you know has nothing to do with my criticisms of paleo, or even with paleo's nutritional benefits. You know that.

If I have to choose between some dumb dumb on an internet forum thinking I'm ignorant, or being able to stand again, I'll choose the latter.

I specifically stated that I wasn't referring to you, just the idea of paleo as a whole. I don't think you're ignorant, far from it. Gambling is one of the areas I'm most knowledgeable about and you have me trumped in that area. Talking to you can be a very humbling experience at times.
Don't play that card, that's silly. You know this has nothing to do with whatever condition you suffer from.

bro you said the statement

"carmouche has not beat an opponent with a winning record"

as not true when in fact it is.

you were wrong bro. Instead of admitting it you come back and try to say something totally different "she has in fact beat fighters with a winning record when they fought" Which is different bro.

bro you said carmouche has not beat an opponent with a winning record as not true when in fact it is.

Literally all I said was "trololol". Or some version of that.

In reply to your post edit, no, it's not different. It's irrelevant for your argument, since your argument centres on her beating terrible competition, which she has, judging by her opponents' losing streaks, but she has certainly beaten fighters with winning records. That's a fact. She beat a girl who was 1-0. It's purely semantics, but I didn't bring it up.

[sideloaded]

dude at no time did I say she has never beat an opponent with a winning record when the fought. I didnt put a qualifier on it.

I said exactly what I said and you said it was trolling when in fact with all the up to date information is factually true. You just keep adding on and on trying to win some kind of argument. What I said is the truth you cant change that.

You are literally claiming two different statements are not different.

[sideloaded]

"but she has certainly beaten fighters with winning records." Is NOT TRUE. Look up her opponents records. Not one has a winning record.

[sideloaded]

You being factually wrong isn't even the worst part of your post. You still agreed that she is the number 3 ranked fighter at 135.

This literally shows you have no idea what you're talking about. And just like to type to hear yourself talk. There is no basis in reality based off of the history of the division should she be ranked number 3. Rankings are very simple. Who have you beat. And she has beat no one of significance. It's a stretch that she is even top 10 as of now.

No, but you did say

they have carmouche ranked #3 a fighter who has never won a fight against an opponent with a winning record

So, Carmouche has never won a fight against an opponent with a winning record?

I'm not trying to win any kind of argument, you're the one that brought this up. You and I both know what your purpose is when you argue with people bro, you know it's not going to work on me.
