The other day I sat down with a buddy of mine and we were both eating apples and conversing. About 5 minutes into the convo, a look of horror comes upon my face. "Are you," I started. "Are you eating the core?"
He was. He explained that he always had and that there's no reason not to really. So i looked it up, and he's right.
Since then, I've eaten four apples in their entirety. I want to be part of the revolution.
What say YOU?
-
my grandfather ate cores. i don't even eat the skins. life's too short.
-
I am not a horse.

I saw you tweet about this and was horrified, but wasn't in a place I could ask more.
What did your research say about why cores are to be avoided?
I was actually just about to buy one of these:

-
Do you eat the seeds and stem too?
-
I like feeling like a horse/goat! Makes me feel part of the earth.
Apparently the seeds have trace amounts of arsenic cyanide in them. Everything says that you'd have to eat a ton of the seeds to feel any of the arsenic cyanide effects, but I don't really want to test it. Seeds go in the trash. Stems go in the trash too.

I was horrified at first too. It's a very disconcerting thing to witness (which I think is one of the main reasons i like to do it). But also, the "core" is just a different texture. A little tougher.
My research actually said that apple cores don't even exist. It's just a "concept" that society has taught us to avoid maaaaaaaan.

I would never ever eat apple cores... my dog loves them too much. It would deprive him of too much joy.
But if we're doing this... you shouldnt pick the little green tops off of strawberries. Just pop them into your mouth like a boss.

Yeah, well, if they didn't exist, they wouldn't be a different texture.

you can also eat the insides of couch cushions but i'm not sure why anyone would want to. on a side note, i know a person that just eats the entire sunflower seed, shell and all. like pops a bunch in her mouth and just starts chewing away. maybe that's a better comparison than the couch cushion but all three honestly seem pretty ridiculous.

yard clippings, completely safe to eat and full of fiber as long as you haven't sprayed chemicals on them.

here's a little tip I learned: when you get a milk carton drink down about 1/4 of it and then eat the top 1/4 of the carton, drink the next 1/4 and then eat the next 1/4 of the carton and so forth until you've consumed all of the milk and carton. completely safe.
-
MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE OUTSIDE OF THE CARTON BEFORE CONSUMING!
-
:lol:
-
What about the sticker with the produce code, do you peel that off before devouring the entire apple like a goddam billy goat?
-
my dog (the new, young one) eats everything that has been mentioned in this thread so far.
-
when the entire office gets pizza catered in I like to go around the tables and get down on everyone's leftover crusts. probably even more safe than eating low level cyanide cores.
-
also some other stuff. ever tried dog and cat crap, dlew? afaict, they are completely safe.

I mean that sounds reasonable except the fact that you would have an open milk container in your refrigerator. I'd think you'd have to drink/eat the whole carton in one sitting.

pizza's don't have crusts.

If we're both at FattyFest, I'll buy you an apple. I want to see this.
If somebody donates a decent amount of money, I'll have #oscar describe it live as d-rew's doing it.

there's very low cyanide levels in milk containers that have been sitting open for a few days. safe unless you consume over 5 at a time which nobody does.

some person: eat this (holds out some gross thing)
dlew: what's the cyanide level of it?
some person: non lethal

certain chemicals, not all chemicals. Can probably eat some...never mind, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

i do not eat apple cores but i do eat the following:
-popcorn seeds that have not popped
-sunflower seeds (whole)
-
eating sunflower seed shells is worse, imo.
-
gutting large amounts of chewed up sunflower seed shells has real consequences for your exhaust pipe
-
you guys are giving away all the #hacks
-
you assholes are why brisket is expensive now :curse:
-
Yeah don't ever eat sunflower seeds because I do not enjoy it. I never learned how to do the oral gymnastics required to separate everything

so if you don't eat the stem or seeds, what exactly is different from what everyone else is doing?
-

everything besides the stem and the seeds goes in my mouth. In other words, the remains of the apple consist of the ~ 1 inch stem and some seeds.
-
I take one bite deep because I don't like bites without skin, I don't even get close to the core.
Also I dropped a piece of Apple in my dogs food bowl once and she ate everything in the bowl except the chunk of Apple
-
I don't like bites without skin.
i never would have figured you for a skins only appler.

I cut mine like a little kid because I have tooth-cracking nightmares

On two occasions your pal SB has eaten the entire apple and the accompanying sticker. :gocho:

Cleaner hands. Don't have to lug around a "core" if you're "on the go." It's the only way to live. It's the original #SnackHack.

mine has a quad-core i7 with 16GB of ram and it works great, I want a 8-core pro tho...wait what are we talking about here?

Cores are gross. Apples are biodegradable. The world is your compost pile. #hacked

Also, maybe no better feeling than throwing a banana peel out the window on the highway and imagining that it is Mario Kart, but then realizing that it is biodegradable and will become soil or whatever and probably grow some beautiful grass or an invasive weed or something.

good to know gE.c hero Wondermeal is on my side.

Dlew, you should go on that TV show with the grossout that eats all the disgusting trash all over the world on the travel channel.

occasionally I'll eat a peanut, shell and all, but that's about it.

If you aren't eating the fat on a steak, you're doing it wrong. Gristle not so much, but fat? :lick:

banana peals and orange rinds? Dlew, I need a ruling.
-
no slobber.
SD, I would definitely join AB on No Reservations. a couple of hunks eating the exotic foods that americans won't eat because it's not a mcdonalds hamburger. would probably shoot ratings up by 500%. great idea.

do you eat shrimp tails too? had an ex that did that.
I do eat whole peanuts though...and sunflower seeds sometimes too.

Middle Eastern kabobs often include pieces that are just grilled chunks of fat. They are insanely delicious.

ugh can't stand that guy because he does the same eyebrow thing that all the "exercise selfie" girls on my facebook wall do
-
I really don't think you guys should be eating the shells of nuts. Like the apple core thing makes way more sense than eating shells.
-
Ok so I've been eating a lot of oranges lately. They're like $1.84 a bag at Aldi. I think I want to try and eat an orange like you eat an apple and eat the whole thing.
Thoughts?

why would you want to do that?

you're right, definitely do it, post video in this thread
-
has anyone ever tried to eat a raw egg, shell and all?
-
what if it's really good and you're missing out though?
-
i bet that if you ate more raw eggs (including shells), your gums would toughen up. just bite into one like an apple. could be great.

i grind the shelled eggs into a calcium-rich slurry which i drink through a straw. no need to risk the gums.
-
I've tried eating the apple core but I just can't stomach them. I still want to get all of the nutrients though so I supplement with cyanide vitamins.

I have about 45 pistachio shells rolling around in my stomach right now.

Eat through a watermelon rind and the juicy melon will be your sweet reward
-
Dlew I'd like you to weigh in on my idea of eating an orange like an apple. All I'm getting is a buncha chuckleheads mocking my idea.

Eleven months later and still #TeamDlew #TeamSeeds.
CF3, I wouldn't recommend the orange peel. It won't hurt you, but the flavor is v. strong. That's why it's called "zest!" :lol:

Alert! Alert! Don't do that. According to Dr. Alkhatib the pesticides they use on oranges now are very powerful. Also cut back on orange juice consumption.

The pesticides they now use on oranges are much safer than what was used 30 years ago. Dr. Alkhatib, with all due respect :fatty: , has been misled at minimum.

Give it a shot, CF3! I bet lots of animals eat the peel (rind? what's a rind?).

wow. just looked it up. apparently eating the peel/rind(?) is incredibly good for you.
just google "eating an orange peel" and feast your eyes on link after link telling you the benefits. plus, imagine what an awesome freak you'd look like just biting into the orange like an apple.

You haven't lived the full zest of life, if you haven't drank a full glasses of foaming, bubbling piss after eating a diet of oranges. It's twice the nutrition and loaded with surprising taste. If you like oranges, you'll love OP anytime of the day, and not just mornings. :party:
