Paris Olympics 2024 Thread

I do find it fun that we seem to have adopted Snoop Dogg as our national Olympic mascot.

Special interest groups never know how to pick their battles. Why in the world would high performing Olympic Athletes, of all your choices, be the people to implement veganism on? While they are amidst high-tempo competitions?! Olympians didn’t build themselves into world-class athletes on a lifetime of Almond Milk, Avocado Toast, Soy Smoothies, and Kale.

From Outkick–
“Running out of food before the Games are even officially underway is a new one, and we're not talking about the Olympic Village running out of certain fruits or vegetables, either. There is a shortage of two of the most-staple proteins for 99.9% of athletes: grilled chicken and eggs. According to the Times of London, some athletes have resorted to bringing packed meals back to the Village because they simply can't get their hands on any chicken and eggs. The reasoning behind the shortage of two of the most-eaten items on planet Earth is a result of Olympic officials pushing more plant-based food items on athletes in hopes of reducing the Games' carbon footprint.”

I renew my belief that there are too many swimming events.

Let's not knock Avocado Toast. That's a staple of my standard weekend breakfast. 

• Three poached eggs
• Smoked salmon
• Two slices of whole wheat avocado toast

I can't afford smoked salmon so I substitute thick cut smoked bacon

I can afford smoked salmon but I also substitute bacon.

And I don't like avocadoes so I substitute chorizo. And I scramble the eggs instead of poaching them. And I add some fresh cotija cheese. I also substitute fresh tortillas instead of the toast. And top with fresh homemade salsa.

Other than that, exact same breakfast.

Is it a Judo guy beating the shit out of a Judo girl?

If so, I need to catch the replay.

I'm not sure. Less beating and more flipping people over
