Overweight children in America

[Bonzi]

um, I just eat what I want.

My food intake yesterday:

1 piece of white butter bread
1 English muffin
2 packs of fruit snacks
1 small bag of pretzels
1 flavored water
1 cup of coffee

Jesus Christ, you have 2 years left to live. Where's the nutrition?

the fruit snacks? I eat protein sometimes. Usually red meat

 

[Iceweasel]

Today:

1 slice of butter bread
1 cup of coffee

if we go out to eat might be more, it not, I'll probably have 2 bites of whatever I make.

does not include medications

You need to be put on an IV drip with vitamins and nutrients.

All I have to say is I've dropped 10 lbs on this diet.
I'm looking good! But I do get light headed at times

Obesity is higher amongst the poor, since they tend to eat mostly processed shitty food.

Maybe when an R is the WH, the media will rise hell about this.

It is already all over the news, but the government keeps making it harder to read labels.

I read labels voraciously but to me it's the food processors who make it harder taking end-around routes to disguise what they're doing. If it isn't hiding several different varieties of sugars listed separately, now it's manipulating "portion sizes" since they're undefined by law.

For a while I was judging cereals based on the "sugars" line --- not noticing that that line is now being based on a smaller and smaller portion.... where a standard portion used to be 1 cup, now it's a third of a cup or even a quarter-cup, which is absurd to claim is a portion, but drives that sugar line down. Translated to the 1-cup standard, that cereal touting "8 grams of sugar" is actually 32 grams in a cup.

It's deceit after deceit after deceit. Always a step ahead of the consumer. But god forbid we should make 'em tell the truth, oh noes that's the end of the freaking world.

Are you ever responsible for anything? It isn't difficult, if you are gaining weight you are taking in too many calories or not burning enough. If the labels are difficult to decipher you are buying complicated processed foods.

If you consider how your body got here eating choices are much easier. Our ancestors didn't eat Cheetos. For them, fast food is the one that got away.

I remember when the first Swanson chicken TV dinner came out..lol

.

With the BROWNIE! We could only eat a TV dinner on a TV tray in the living room, watching TV. No TV dinner ever touched my mother's kitchen table.

The prisoners at Dachau were slim too, but far from healthy. There's a balance, but no way around it, food is fuel. Dump water in your car and see how well it runs.

I grew up on the following:

American Chop Suey
Baked Mashed Potatoes over hot dogs in cheese
Corned Beef Hash with Eggs or Pineapple on top
Liver and Onions

Those are the dishes I remember...

 

[Bonzi]

well I have no one to cook me prime rib, asparagus in cream sauce

I'm a good cook, it's natural for me, like art. People make it too complicated like building a car. You put a bunch of healthy shit together and it will taste good, your body will love it. A little seasoning is cool. Drowning it in sauces is not. Cook healthy and simple, it isn't rocket science!

Your folks worked for the carnival, didn't they?

 

[Bonzi]

preparation = time

 

[Bonzi]

I cook this potato soup.
It's good ... but I have to sit back and peel and cut potatoes in small pieces
Clean, peel and cut carrots in small pieces
Skin onion and cut in small pieces.

Cut bacon (uncooked) in small pieces (which sucks, even if it's frozen, then it's too hard)

Add them all at separate times, boil in broth, add milk and flour, cream at the end

blend1/2 to 1/3 of it add it back in... it's bullshit!

 

[Bonzi]

Give me a GD healthy meal that I can throw in a microwave and be ready in 10 minutes

 

[Bonzi]

I mean, I never have an appetite anyway

Unless it's pancakes

Fine it it floats your boat. BUT in far less time and effort you can scrub the spud, toss it in the microwave in an appropriate sealed dish for 5 minutes ( the skin is very healthy!) throw the carrots, onion, beef or chicken, cabbage or kale/spinach, broccoli, green beans, bell pepper, cucumber, or similar stuff, into a wok and cook it on up. Or separate the meat from the veggies and cook the veggies less.

That's much less time, easy to do and much healthier.

hubby does no like skin on his potato
he likes all his veggies OVER cooked
he eats NO greens! (except peas)
he does like pepper

He would like that.

I would not. I like my foods separate.
