Good deal, worth a post by itself, don't know if it is buried in any other posts… Sorry if so.

We get a few packs of this per week, great gluten free bread alternative.

They taste like popcorn 😂

All the varieties of real foods corn thins are on sale, including multigrain, original, sesame, soy and linseed (I think that's what it was), tasty cheese and ancient grains.

What do you guys have on them? I like:
- peanut butter
- Ajvar and salad veggies
- good ol' tomato-cheese-cucumber
- any ozbargain special nut spread
- just cheese.

    Bought 4 varieties on Friday.
    Soy, Linseed & Chia
    Ancient Grains (new to me)
    Organic Sesame
    Multigrain
    (Didn't buy the cheese)

    Great price considering Woolies homebrand ones are $1.65.
    Prefer these with hummus, etc.

      Used to do that before they brought out that variety. Yum. But now a rare treat.
      Better value to use ordinary Philadelphia & add a good sweet chilli sauce.

      Hehe oh dear. They didn't taste like popcorn? Albeit plain.

      I was caught eating them by a personal trainer about 12 years ago, who advised me they weren't great for weight loss, but when one is going gluten free, they are a apparently a good bread equivalent.

    • INFIDEL on 19/07/2020 - 20:42

      Preferably eat within days of opening & store in air tight container. I use within a week.

      If they are stale - not nice. Throw them out. My local birds & animals appreciate them.

      Yes, they have a distinctive smell. That's what corn & grain smell like.
      I've been enjoying them for years.

      Don't stock up on too many of these, or they may go stale. I bought 4 to last 1 - 2 months, then get more.

    Yeah well done I bet we spent millions of years evolving eating mostly meat to then “snack” or “lose weight” eating a disc of grains and garbage.

    And I saw a comment saying margarine… that’s the grossest thing read please go look up how that chemical crap is made and what colour before bleached.

    • INFIDEL on 20/07/2020 - 08:42

      Your short history of human nutrition is clearly lacking the importance of grains, as in these.

      The domestication of grains was always more important in human development & history than the domestication of livestock.

      Where did you learn about history & diet to get it so wrong?
      "we spent millions of years evolving eating mostly meat".
      No we didn't - most of the world doesn't do that now & never has.
      Meat has always been a minor portion of the human diet.

      If your food intake is primarily meat every time you eat, as you claim we all do - your poor gut & health! Consider funeral planning!

      You must have slept through the "food pyramid" at school. Not great information, but it relegated proteins including meat to a minor amount in our diet (with fat the least), & grains like these to the major amount to consume after vegetables & fruits. Time to get an education!

      "to then “snack” or “lose weight” eating a disc of grains and garbage" - I eat these because I like them, not to lose weight.
      Recommended by a sports nutrition Dr as part of diet best suited to my nutritional requirements. Often eaten without anything added, or as part of a Mediterranean style diet.

      The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommends 6 serves or more of grains per day for adults. The majority eat less than recommended.

      A standard serve is (500kJ) or:
      1 slice (40 g) of bread
      ½ cup (75-120 g) cooked rice, pasta, noodles, etc
      ¼ cup (30 g) muesli
      3 (35 g) crispbreads
      5 of these (almost 100kJ ea)

      I listed the ingredients & some of the nutritional benefits above

      Your irrational biases are showing!
      Meat is not the only food!!

      • deelaroo on 20/07/2020 - 12:19

        So cavemen, for the millions of years we evolved from apes to what we are today, grew and ate grains? Our bodies spent that whole time evolving best to eat grains and complex carbs?

        We killed and ate animals. Sometimes we might of found some berries or other edible plants, but for the majority we ate meat, running on fat most of the time. Our bodies are meant to spend the majority of time in ketosis with famine times when we found the occasional carbs on glucose, when our bodies are evolved to use those carbs to store as fat for later. We literally aren't meant to use carbs as fuel only as future energy through stored fat.

        If eating grains and this upside down pyramid was right why has every diet caused disease increased since its introduction? Who pushes this?

        All the BS around fat is just that. Go look up about cholesterol and how it's actually a symptom, not a cause. Its literally your body trying to repair the damage from too much carbs and then we try to stop that as well, because a doctor has a poster given to him from "big carb inc" lobbied "healthy eating council" on the wall.

        If this is something you like and fits in your diet, you're an active person who uses the carbs and they don't just block fat burning through insulin spikes great! For those people though overweight, not active enough, eating carbs to lose weight is the stupidest thing and that's what I'm trying to point out.

          Lol cavemen!
          You do realise primitive humans primarily did not live in caves? It's just that archaeological evidence is preserved best in caves, rather than the ephemeral materials left behind in the open. And a lot of that research shows caves were primarily for ceremonial use.
          It's an entertaining story, pieced together from a few facts & reinterpreted for a modern audience! Disney would be proud you believe such stories!

          Don't even get me started on the controversial reasons why hunting (rare source of food primarily for ceremonies, male domain) was emphasised over gathering (main source of food, carried out primarily by women & children) in early research papers & writings!!

          "Sometimes we might of found some berries or other edible plants, but for the majority we ate meat " - how can you be that ignorant!

          That's as far as I read before removing your comment from view. There's plenty of research that debunks your delusion.

          Your fantasy has been used to promote books & diets to make lots of $ for others. It's pure marketing, not based on fact. Sorry you got suckered into it.

          Just attempt to understand research into this field, not cartoon tales meant for children!

          Pointless discussing this with someone who doesn't want to understand, just believing make believe & nonsense!

          • deelaroo on 20/07/2020 - 13:10

            @INFIDEL: Go do research into what carbs/sugars do in terms of insulin. When you eat carbs your insulin spikes and your bodies ability then to use fat as an energy source is blocked. If you are trying to lose weight eating carbs literally stops you from losing fat. This isn't some hokey shit any nutritionist will confirm this is correct.

            Every actual point I made you ignore, instead picking on the words I use, not the actual argument. Of course we didn't live actually in caves.

          • INFIDEL on 20/07/2020 - 13:19

            @INFIDEL: Just think!

            It generally takes a large amount of energy, training, and skill to kill animals & prepare them - for little or uncertain return as food. Mainly stronger individuals of hunting age would be involved - the relative few who were skilled in a group.

            (Of course there are simpler ways to capture animals. I spent time on an archaeological site overseas, where 9000 year old trap pits (small deep excavations with marks in the bottom that presumably held sharpened stakes) were found. But it still takes skills & experience to plan & construct those. However, the evidence pointed to that as a rarer source of food than simpler harvesting.)

            Why would anyone waste that time & energy by a relative few on the mere chance of meat as a primary source of food, ignoring readily available foods that could be simply harvested by anyone - even by the children?

            That's what is found in "hunter gatherer" societies - hunting primarily for ceremonies, gathering for most nutrition. Very little meat consumption.
            But when visitors / researchers arrived - they were treated to a meat eating ceremony! So the meat myth began.

            According to your story - they ignored readily available food (only chancing across it), spending their energy primarily sourcing nutrients from uncertain meat hunting!! Surprising we lasted this long if they were that dumb!

            You've certainly have been misled by the fantasies!

            (Am a meat eater, who loves the flavour & mouth-feel of fats. I love almost all foods! In moderation.)

            • deelaroo on 20/07/2020 - 22:38

              @INFIDEL: Fat has 9 calories per gram, carbohydrates 4. That's why eating animals makes more sense from a energy expenditure perspective.

              People would of lived like other predators do now - kill an animal every few days, many attempts at hunting to get food. For millions of years evolving to where we are now we would of lived like that. We would of stored fat when able to and ran burning fat, not glucose, primarily the majority of our lives.

              Yes - one of our retained/evolved abilities is to be able to eat a very wide range of foods, to have the systems in place to run on glucose or ketones. But we were not evolved over the millions of years to this point to run our whole life on glucose and this is the cause of many major health issues. Everything they blame fat on got worse when people cut out fat for carbs. Every study on losing weight and low carb diets shows this clear link between insulin and carbs - a clear sign our body is not meant to run like this for more than days at a time.

              Yes - Our ability to eat and run on carbohydrates when needed has inadvertantly through agriculture lead to civilization and me being able to sit at this computer now. If we didnt have that and could only eat meat, or just kept up a hunter society we would not have civilization.

              But - we know better now with our modern science. We know that private companies with interests in basically selling carbs/grains have invested a lot in lobbying and lies to make out fat as the boogeyman, when in fact our current obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc. are caused by too much carbs. We're not some Irish peasants reliant on only potatoes for every meal type thing.. Like we can eat whatever and I say lets eat what our bodies evolved to eat, not processed carb shit, the only macro our bodies don't actually need for any process at all.

      • deelaroo on 20/07/2020 - 22:47

        A standard serve is (500kJ) or:

        ¼ cup (30 g) muesli
        3 (35 g) crispbreads
        5 of these (almost 100kJ ea)

        Also can you tell me what in any of these are things your body actually needs? What process in your body do these fullfill? If I eat those and do no excercise within the hour or two after that the energy is usable before being turned to fat what happens? If I am trying to lose weight and I eat those recommendations and my insulin is then spiked all day how do I lose fat when it is literally impossible to then?

        What lobbiest paid for this recommendation?

        "Eating grain foods, mostly wholegrain or high fibre, can help protect against heart disease, type 2-diabetes and excessive weight gain and may help reduce risk of some cancers."

        Every study anyone can possibly find will confirm that a low carb diet is the most effective in losing fat due to the insulin link. But our government recommends the complete opposite?

        You think I'm brainwashed. you're a sheep mate 100%. Just eat up what you've been told to. Man I work at a few doctors clinics I asked one about the food pyramid on his wall, said about doing keto losing 20kg easy as, about how it seems a bit (profanity) that pyramid, asked where it comes from like how does that get ont the wall - a guy from a company paid for by literally "big grain corp" comes around, takes them to lunch and in return they put it on the wall no questions. And you then believe that.

          Yeah true that pretty much all diets are hyped. And money sadly creates 'advice'.

          It is true that we all eat, and we all die.

          "Living well" in the time that we have is pretty complex.
