Healthy eating for kids

[Skull Pilot]

Well, you seem to be approaching the problem from the perspective that people don't know what's good for them, and that government should step in and correct them when they stray from the "One True Path™". But if the people so easily manipulated and controlled are picking our leaders, where does that leave us? Trumpistan?

Not really.

The only things I'm calling for are better education and a policy of making healthy food more appealing in terms of price. I'm not saying people should stop eating crap, I'm saying they should be informed about what they're eating, and they should find that healthy foods and not sugary foods, should be the ones that are cheaper.

I get it, you prefer that Coca-Cola and Pepsi receive billions in tax refunds and other money, but I don't.

And once again it is always cheaper to eat real food.

Opinion | Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?

Yes, if, of course, you have the time to cook.

The poorest in society are often the ones with the most change of being single parents families. The right want such people to work 80 hours a week just to make ends meet, and THEN demand they cook healthy nutritious food for their kids every night whole checking their homework.... yeah right....

Cut the crap you have time to cook if you want to.

You can cook just a couple times a week and prepare food for all the other days too

you really should start an excuse factory you'd be a millionaire in a week

And you seem to think that just because something can be done, that it will be done. Yeah, you could only get 6 hours sleep a night and cook healthy meals for your kids instead.

Get real. People who work 80 hours a week, have you ever worked 80 hours a week on your feet? I've done over 60 hours a week in a job where I had to be standing all the time, and when I went home I was shattered, I sat on the sofa watching TV, I hardly ever watch TV.

You're the one who seems to think every human being is a super fucking human, that has unlimited power to do things.

When people are tired, they don't want to go around cooking, especially if they've been working 10 hours or more a day.

You seem to think it's your business to make people do things you want them to do
What's wrong with 6 hours of sleep?

It's all I get.

And there aren't too many people in this country that work 80 hours a week you seem to think everyone does. And yes I have worked 80 hours a week and that's exactly why I also know there aren't many people who do. But I still managed to eat fruit and veggies and not boxed crap. I would cook meals for the entire week on Sunday. I'd make soup or stews and I'd cook a couple whole chickens to use for sandwich meat or to put on a salad all in just a couple hours on Sunday morning I had a big bowl of in season fruit on the table and a mix of fresh and frozen veggies on hand

And everyone has the same amount of time in a week. It's not impossible to make good food choices but you seem to think everyone is utterly incapable of doing anything.

Give tax breaks to those who produce food that is healthy. Simple. It will lower the costs.

That's what we're doing now. That's the problem.

That's the purpose of government!

It doesn't matter how many times you show the weirdo that eating real food is always cheaper than eating crappy prepared foods they still say eating healthy is more expensive

My god listening to you it seems like people are utterly incapable of cooking rice and beans

What do you mean only?

6 hours of sleep is more than sufficient. And really what's one more hour in the scheme of things

You know there's this great invention called a crock pot that will cook enough soup, stew, pot roast, etc for several meals while you sleep

but I suppose that's just too complicated for people too

and fyi empathy doesn't mean buying every lame ass excuse in the book

Always cheaper? Come on. Where can you buy a ready made meal that's cheaper than McDonalds or KFC?

A lot of people don't like cooking... it's a simple fact. People will go for the easier option. Again, part of this is time. People work a lot. But listening to you, it's like you don't understand other people.

Again, you're jumping off and trying to pick a fight for something that doesn't matter. Who gives a fuck what "only" means? That's not the point here.

And no, you have no empathy. Empathy doesn't mean accepting every lame excuse, you're right, but again, that's not what we're talking about here.

Ready made meals are shit food I thought you didn't want people to eat shit food?

I understand that people who say they can't do this or that usually can they just don't want to.

It doesn't take that much time to prepare food.

I can cook 3 chickens in my oven at once That's enough meat for the entire week. I can soak beans overnight and simmer them while the chickens are in the oven. I can prepare a huge container of salad while the beans are simmering.

So in 2 hours on a Sunday morning I have enough food for the entire week prepared.

Anyone who says they can't do this is lying

That's what we're doing now. That's the problem.

Really? Show me.

That's what all these "tax incentives" schemes are about. They're imposing someone's idea of "healthy" on the rest of us with government. They just have a different idea what's good for us. Apparently Congress thinks a strong agricultural industry is more important than childhood obesity, so junior is just taking one for the team.

But the problem is that often people don't know how to. In the past kids got shown by the parents, or they married and their wife did it. The modern world has changed. This isn't about forcing people to cook. Just to let people get the education so they can make those choices.

No those were all excuses

Too expensive to eat well..... excuse and proven wrong
No time.....................................excuse. You spend more time waiting for take out than it takes to make a good meal
Don't k ow how to cook......................There's this thing called a cook book or Google "how to cook a chicken" and get 2.8 million hits in less than a second
