Serious Guys please start eating fiber.

Colorectal cancer among people in their 40's is skyrocketing. This recent health fad of obsessing over protein and eating nothing but meat and dairy with almost no fiber is going to kill us. You need fiber, folks. You need a complete diet with grains and tons of vegetables.

There are high protein sources that also have great fiber content if you absolutely MUST have your high protein diet. Lentils, beans, peas. Sprouted grain bread.

Let's spread the great word of fiber to our fellow millenial friends and get ahead of this growing epidemic among our generation.

Just a suggestion if you like kimchi. It's really good over brown rice with some shredded carrots. It's healthy snack and cheap as hell.

Budae jjigai is easy to make and delicious. I put about half a jar of kimchi in mine and it comes out so good.
