Are There Certain Foods You Just Cant Eat?

In Laos they brought me a duck egg that must have been just about to hatch -- feathers and beak and everything -- I am usually adventurous but I just couldn't do it.

:-)

Does that count??

Id actually like to try Balut.

Im quite adventurous when it comes to food and i have no clue why but that has always appealed to me.

Oh yea, that counts! It's the same as my first experience with a lobster. It arrived fully intact, with it's beady little eyes staring into mine, and with antennae still wiggling... I immediately opted for the fried chicken.

I'm not a big fan of red meat. The occasional steak and maybe some sirloin tips when i make chili.....other than that, I'm more a chicken and fish kinda guy. I could cut meat out totally, but since I cook for more than just myself, it's a major inconvenience to cook TWO meals everytime, so i do eat some meat. I've tried cutting the meat out of our diets, but everyone but Zac complained!
Zac is on a special diet that has done wonders for him and he's working out like mad! I'm very proud of how great he looks. He was never huge, but was getting the "Middle Age Spread" and he's been able to reverse the process. He eats Shrimp and Tuna, but no other meats at all. He even kept himself under control at Thanksgiving! I wasn't as strong at holiday dinner, but I've managed to loose 8% body fat and gain 6 pounds (in muscle). It's a hard road to climb when you're pushing 40, but I feel great and enjoy the compliments.
As far as foods that don't agree with me, Orange Roughy closes my throat up and makes me feel like there is a feather in the back of my throat. Other than that, no food allergies or intolerances. I can eat just about ANYTHING....probably the reason I hit 286 pounds in college!

Portion size is a big factor. One needs protein, so you should pick from protein sources wisely, and eat modest portions. Stopping the eating of protein, by stopping eating meat, is not wise. There are many protein foods to choose from, even including beans.

Actor Jeremy Pivin today is claiming he is suffering from mercury poisoning from eating Shushi. Mercury in fish is an old issue, whether it applies to him or not, it is something to consider before dropping McDonald's for fresh fish.
