MEATSHAKES

[Mister Obvious]

I think I wanna start pureeing my meat instead of having to chew it.

Just takes so much effort to chew meat.

I feel like it'd be better if I could just eat it baby food style and I'd be totally fine with that.

It would mean less flossing too.

This is a solution, right??

[Mister Obvious]

I mean, personally I love baby food. I think it tastes great.

No one can convince me that this isn't a great idea.

It's also a great way to get more liquid in your diet, amirite?

Like...

There's water in it.

[Mister Obvious]

It's absolutely a good idea.

Look, it's like soup.

Only, pureed.

Just to get that extra baby food goodness, you could totally add carrots and peas and so forth in with the meat for the puree.

[Mister Obvious]

Exactly, and then it's even more like a soup.

TBH, I think it makes total sense and I think it sounds delicious...

[Mister Obvious]

I'd eat baby food for every meal, I'm gonna tell you this unequivocally.

[Luxury-Taco]

Hmmm... I wonder how it would taste with apple sauce... 
At first I was like 



But then I imagined it, palate-wise, and honesty it's probably not that bad.

[Mister Obvious]

I'd approach it differently than those recipes though...

I'd cook the meat and the vegetables separately, then I'd make a broth, and then I'd puree it all together.

[Mister Obvious]

But I'd eat it in a bowl with a spoon like a normal person. Obviously.

I've done some research on the matter and apparently the primary things to consider are as follows...

Since there's little to no chewing necessitated with pureed food, it is suggested that satiation may not be optimal. Apparently we "need" to chew things in order to feel full. I really don't think this is true in all cases. I mean, what if you hated chewing things and preferred to be able to eat everything in the form a pureed soup?? You'd enjoy it a lot. Nevertheless, they say that eating pureed food may lead to excess calorie intake, in an effort to feel full enough. I think this issue could be avoided.

Secondly, nutrients. It's recommended to take a daily multivitamin when you eat primarily pureed food just to ensure you're getting all the necessary nutrients. But the way I see it, if you're eating a balanced diet as you would normally, just pureeing it instead, the nutrients are still there. Whereas if you were JUST eating applesauce or something stupid like that, obviously on a nutritional level, you'd be in trouble.

Thirdly, if you are not chewing your food, it's suggested that your bones/teeth might become weaker... this is obviously not good. So some chewing would be absolutely necessary.

Lastly, the chewing process is important because the first step to digestion begins with your saliva. This is why they say to chew your food A LOT. Pureed food is like food that has already been chewed a hundred times and therefore, as far as the processes beyond the mouth itself, a lot of the breaking down and digesting work has already been done. This means that it is important to hold pureed food in your mouth before swallowing so that it can mix with your saliva. Basically, swoosh it around. This also means that if you ate a pureed diet for an extended period of time, your digestion may not be so great when going back to solid food.

Bearing all this in mind, eating pureed food regularly would be fine if you were taking the necessary steps to mitigate some of these issues, and still eating solid food in some form daily.

Listen...

I don't like chewing meat. I really fucking don't. It's a lot of effort and it just FEELS taxing to me.

Lastnight I dislodged a pretty sizable chunk of meat that had been stuck between and around my back teeth...

It was so large that it had irritated the entire area and was beginning to cause pain.

As soon as it was removed, the pain and irritation subsided.

I decided then and there that I am absolutely appalled and disgusted by the way we approach meat eating.

I just think it could be done better...

I think it's impractical, cumbersome, and barbaric, and that it needs to be revolutionized.

I read somewhere that on another planet the inhabitants consume fish by grinding the meat into a pulp - puree.

[Mister Obvious]

Humans are straight up lost in the weeds, man.

and they mix multi-vitamins in with it

[Marmel]
