I never heard of the fart attack thingy, but I do burp when I eat daikon. Mind you, they're known for helping with the digestive process, so mebbe that's why the gas increases.
Haha...I think it has to do with the enzymes present in the daikon....what you said about the digestive process, I've heard as well. In fact grated daikon is often used in Japanese recipes because the enzymatic content of the daikon breaks down the protein in fish, beef, chicken and pork, thus tenderizing the meat.
It's like when you see pineapple used in sweet and sour chicken/pork Chinese recipes...the bromelain enzyme from the pineapple does the same thing.
I tried nattou on rice, with daikon marinated in kimchi. :sweat: One more bite and I would've spontaneously combusted. I'm just glad I didn't have to go anywhere and it was in summer. So I could open the window. :beaten:

West Australian Opposition Leader Troy Buswell has broken down at a press conference and admitted he sniffed the chair of a female Liberal Party staffer.
Speaking to journalists at a press conference at Mandurah, south of Perth, Mr Buswell confirmed details of the woman's account of a 2005 incident, first reported last weekend.
He said he was not standing down as Liberal leader.
The woman, who does not want to be named, said Mr Buswell started sniffing the chair she had been sitting on at his Parliament House office in December 2005.
The incident took place in front of other staff members.
She said he had done it to get a laugh.
"I was shocked and outraged and I told him," the woman told The West Australian.
At today's press conference, Mr Buswell said he had repeatedly refused to deny the allegations because he wanted to protect the woman involved.
But he broke down after he was asked about the effect of the reports on his wife and children.
Tears in his eyes, Mr Buswell said he needed a short break, turned his back and then asked his press secretary to bring him a glass of water.
Mr Buswell said his wife was aware of the allegations before they were published on Sunday.
He said it had been a difficult time for him "on a personal level".
"These are difficult issues for me to deal with and they are very difficult issues for my family to deal with," he said.
"It's hard dealing with these matters and having to face up to your responsibilities behaviourally, publicly, and it's harder to do it privately."
Mr Buswell has previously admitted to snapping a Labor staffer's bra as a drunken party trick and has been accused by retiring Liberal MP Katie Hodson-Thomas of making sexist remarks to her.
Deputy Liberal leader Kim Hames was today standing by Mr Buswell, describing him as a "rough diamond with a robust sense of humour".
Regarding the Polygamist Ranch in Texas, I got this excerpt of CNN:
In the secretive, illegal world of American polygamy, life has been good to 67-year-old Wendell Loy Nielsen of Eldorado, Texas. By his own account, Nielsen has 21 wives -- and 36 children. His oldest wife is 13 years older than he is, and his youngest wife is 43 years younger -- she's just 24. His oldest child is 21 years old, and his youngest is a 6-month-old baby.

Yet again, fact is stranger than fiction. :sweat: :bleh:
I just finished reading "Escape", the story of Carolyn Jessop, who was brought up in the FLDS and was married off to a 52-year old when she was 18. She was wife #5, and she ended up having 8 kids to him before she had an operation that prevented having more. He ended up having a lot more wives and kids. She managed to escape and make a life for herself and her kids though :)
