Do you base your eating diet around what ponies eat in FiM?

[Reose 4]

Like i've never seen a pony eat potato chips or drink soda. But they dont eat meat either, but in Equastria Girls they did eat a pizza once.

I dunno, what do you think?

[cmarston1 5,959]

Nope.

That would be silly.

I dunno. Milk and chocolate cookies. As bad as it is, seems more wiser than soda and chips.

[Jeric 46,851]

No. I base my diet off what tastes good, what is filling, what is balanced, cost (both at the grocery store and time to prep/cook), what my family likes, and sales. 

I can't say that I believe it's a smart idea to base a diet off of a fictional universe. 

[Reose 4]

Well the only thing i think is not smart is lack of b12, ponies arent omnivore creatures.. i think. Humans for example need meat or atleast some bacteria with b12 if not lack of oxygen pass through blood cells which makes you sleepy most of the time. But i overall like some the stuff ponies eat so i dont think everything is bad... atleast ideals. But other than that yeah its fictional... like high blood sugar level realistically isnt good, but some of the stuff they eat seems preferable over other stuff.

Nope. Just eat what I eat.

[Starzen 160]

The things ponies eat are pretty much my favorite things already. Only thing is, I'll eat what's given to me, even if that's meat or some chips. (I won't drink soda though).

And a whole host of other very unfortunate side effects some irreversible. Serious B12 deficiency is some scary shit. Gaston knows what's good!

O.o

No, why would I? I mean, they eat things like hay and flowers, and that tastes horrible. Plus, I seriously doubt that it's much healthier than what I normally eat, so why bother.

Some sour leaves tastes good though. As a child even as an adult i still think they tasted good. The problem is i dont know where those grow anymore.

Also i am not saying its healthier, but compared to soda and potato chips being high on blood sugar level... i just consider it less guilty option. The only side effects is high cholesterol intake. But atleast it wont make you super fat on high blood sugar level.

I actually do try to base my diet off of what they eat in the show. Not exclusively, of course, since I am human and need other foods to survive. But when I can, I do indeed eat like a pony in the show. It's fun! Hehe.

And your point is? 

Also, if you're referring to wood sorrel leaves, I'd say that they taste decently at best.

I'd argue that the less guilty option is just to eat less junk food rather than replacing it with cake.

[Pony Flutters 535]

No, I'm not particularly interested in eating flower sandwiches or hay burgers. Thank you very much.

Haha, not necessarily. Though I take inspiration from different sources.

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Yeah I go into restaurants and ask for hayburgers all the time. I only get awkward silence, but hey it never hurts to ask.

Unless you are talking about cakes and sweets... in which case a lot of us (over)indulged on these things long before FiM was a thing. So yeah, I don't build a lifestyle or any eating habits based upon a cartoon show.

[Vulcan 3,254]

They seem to eat quite a lot of sweets, 

I usually base my diet around healthy-ish foods that are easy-ish to prep. (Though there are exceptions....We baked so many treats this week)

Calories aren't as much an issue since I'm on bulking phase again...

Nah. I have the diet of a fatty.

Technically yeah because milk buffers the acidity of the chocolate and cookie.

I am actually curious what flower petals taste like, they have a nice texture tho.

O.o

Yup dat b12, another thing is sodium, if you miss out on sodium and get alot of potassium or such you can get neural including brain problems, electrolyte problems as well, so energy levels n stuff.

[CT-1138 3,182]

Not at all. I'm a total carnivore! 

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

 

No. We're not ponies, after all. There's more to food than just calories. Essential nutrients like Vitamin C are essential because our bodies can't make the stuff on their own.

In horses, however, Vitamin C is a non-essential nutrient because their bodies can make the stuff from sugar. Really. Would've been great if the same were true of humans.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

No, I don't think I could last long without eating meat (unless I was in Equestria... then it'd all be worth it). Though I did know a friend who went complete vegetarian because of MLP... hell he'd refuse to eat majority of the food we'd give him in Minecraft because it was meat.

[Discordian 6,015]

...Why would I? I'm not a pony.

[ZethaPonderer 2,199]

Sure. I'm certain that the Human Digestive System can TOTALLY digest Hay Fries, Apples, and Carrots on a constant basis. They say you need more fiber on your diet, but this is a little too excessive if you ask me . Horses need to have more fiber in their diet due to their digestive tract's design. We only need it in moderation.

 

But in all seriousness, no. We're omnivores, not herbivores.

[KrazyDashie 1,847]

well I do eat more veggies or non-meat stuff a lot but I dunno, I wouldn't exactly say its based off of MLP, its mostly because meat doesn't go well with my stomach.

 

to be honest though.. I wish I could eat hayburgers... they make them look soo good..

[Barpy 2,225]

I eat completely everything and I'm thin, my metabolism is weird.
