"De tro da pano venas malsano."

Translation: From too much bread comes sickness.

[rapn21]

It was hard to know whether they wanted a literal translation or the jist of the sentence.

[Migranto]

Oh, great, Duo, you've gone and pissed off the bread cartel.

[PaulDeNice1]

You can live on bread alone, but not the thin white stuff they call bread today!!
I would say that "Too much bread is sickening" and I think that would make more sense in English.

[Peter293697]

Hm... kian panon vi manĝas?

[katamanto1]

Mortpanon!

[Rippler]

Mirpano, de Hostess.

[jumpthewalls]

I was so confused. I was so sure that there was some weird idiomatic meaning that I was missing

[Majklo_Blic]

There is. "Man does not live by bread alone."

[sylviaplanths]

That seems... not true.

[SquirlRat]

Could be lysine deficiency i guess :/

[kardelo]

They're not a velocirraptor.

[SquirlRat]

Lysine is an essential amino acid, we humans can't produce it in our bodies from other amino acids either, we have to eat food containing enough of it.

[kardelo]

Mi provis fari ŝercon.

[DuolityOfMan]

In the movie, the dinosaurs were deliberately given a genetic defect that made them unable to produce lysine. Is it true that they normally can, and we can't?

[PatrickSnyder]

Blasfemo!

[donaldo_zouras]

I don't even understand what this means in English or Esperanto.

[Vabelie]

It is part of the Proverbaro esperanta http://www.proverbaro.net/.

I understand it as "too much of even something as necessary as bread is unhealthy".

"Excess in everything is harmful."

Or perhaps simply "eating too much is unhealthy".

[AllanXavin]

Why "a lot of" is not accepted as a translation of "tro da"?

[requin230]

because "tro da" means "too much". Even a little bit of poison would be too much too eat, it doesn't have to be a lot.

[Davgwynne]

The toxicity is in the dose! Too much water is toxic, a little bit might not be enough to live.

[CaNarsames]

Ok, do mi neniam manĝos panojn!

[Owen5076]

Kial ne, "Naŭ, do ni neniam manĝos panojn", aŭ "Kvincent dudek du, do mi neniam manĝos panojn"? Kial estas "Ok" la plej grava nombro?

[EstuVeganon]

I was on the fringe about bread, now no more

[Brauxljo]

Wouldn't it be "el" and not "de"?
