Why MAHA will fail.

[1srelluc]

May God have mercy on your soul.

I was invited out for Thanksgiving dinner so I have no leftovers.

Damn.

 

[Lockback]

Of course it will fail, which is a very good thing.

It will fail because it is perpetrated by backwards, uneducated dipshits, and it is good that it will fail, as their terminally stupid suggestions will harm people.

You're an ignorant asshole.

 

[1srelluc]

With all due respect, shut up.
I'm eating here!!

Carl's jr.....**** you, I'm eating. ​

 

[Lockback]

Ironically, I ate less yesterday than any Thanksgiving ever. I didn't have one bite of turkey because for some unknown reason I have developed an aversion to the bird. Cannot stand the taste of it anymore. I had small dollop of mashed potatoes, one bite of my 93-year-old mother-in-law's dressing (it was simply horrible) and three slices of ham.
That was it. My wife was shocked. She said, "Are you sick?" And I said, "Yeah. I'm sick of Thanksgiving."

Progs used to promote these healthy agendas. Until the Republicans decided to give it a try. If you are in your 20's and are morbidly obese, that is not good. And we have a fair percentage of the population who are.

I make kick-ass gravy and stuffing.

One of my guests had to leave early and go to his mom's to eat and he said her gravy sucks, it's just "white people's gravy" he said.

I asked what is "white people's gravy" was and he said, "you know, it's what comes out of a jar".

I didn't say anything because I knew his parents to both be right uppity but I'd be fibbing if I said I did not experience a brief moment of superiority.

But, Wasn't Home Economics good for the girls to learn at one time?
Same could be said about good dietary education.

Better to teach how the digestive system works and what happens when too much food is stuffed into it.

I was invited out and had the worst Thanksgiving meal ever. Most was barely edible.

Please tell us more....Did they have "white people's gravy"?

I wish they had. It would have been better than what was served. I use storebought gravy all the time as the turkey doesn't yield enough drippings to make enough. I only cook boned turkey thighs when I do Thanksgiving. Very little drippings.

I also serve the meal buffet style. I warm the plates in the oven and the food on a 'steam table' warmer. Biscuits are kept warm in a crock pot. Passing bowls of food around at the table ensures that the meal will be eaten cold.

I often joke that Thanksgiving is a meal prepared for hours in a hot kitchen only to be eaten cold at the dinner table.

It is MORE than just overeating.

It is what the government and the bedfellows of Big Ag and Big Pharma have pushed on Americans as healthy.

Food manufactured so that you're compelled to eat too much.

 

[DGS49]

There is profit to be made by feeding people (a) too much of (b) the wrong stuff. It's a simple as that.

Look at the infinite number of fortunes that are made by feeding people "stuff" that has essentially no nutritional value. Candy, cookies, donuts and bagels, salty snacks, pop tarts, sugar-laden cereals...and they are ALL formulated to make them delicious and to induce us to eat more than we need to satisfy our actual hunger.

No government propaganda campaign can successfully combat the campaign to make us fat.

I favor private educational counselling for overweight kids.

I think putting them on the playground and in PE for two hours a day might help too.

You can't feel good when you are exercising and eating crap.

I think that most people know what constitutes good food. They just don't care. It almost seems deliberate, ruining one's health for no good reason.

No good reason? I’ll tell you why I ended up no longer eating “good” after moving out of my parents home 30 years ago…

1. COST. Healthy foods cost more in general than the unhealthy ones.

2. TIME. Healthy food generally needs to be prepared by the eater. It doesn’t come ready-to-eat, nor does it generally come from the on-the-run food vendors that many of us use to help our schedules.

3. WASTE. Healthy foods tend to expire and go bad quicker, often before we actually end up using all of Whst was bought.

4. TASTE. A lot of healthy food just doesn’t taste as good as the bad food.

5. DEFIANCE. This one may be more unique to me and some others I know who grew up in very healthy food homes. Places where soda and any junk food were anomalies at best. Once we get the opportunity to choose our own food, we go for the things that we were denied as children.

Exercise builds excess hunger, so it can be a zero-sum game. Most don't understand the efficiency of the human body to convert a small amount of food into a huge amount of energy. Exercising on a stationary bike with a "calorie counter" will reveal this clearly.

I ate good food at home as well as lot of junk food as a kid, but we were extremely active and burned up all those calories in the activities we engaged in. No one sat on their couch for hours controlling a video game with one hand while stuffing their face with junk food with the other.

Younger people (under 40) aren't expected to care much for their health. They have other things to think about. But when middle age comes around it's a good idea to pay attention to it.

RFKjr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" will fail miserably despite his best efforts. While addressing chemical food additives and other such things is useful he cannot address the main driver of ill health in America, that being overweight due to overeating. The reason being that Americans simply will not reduce the amount of food they stuff down their pie holes.

Okay but the type of food matters too. Ridding our food of sugar, chemicals and other bad stuff cannot be a terrible thing

That's a crazy opinion. Staying active is huge as we age.

We were reasonably active growing up but there was almost no junk food. Fruits, salad, granola bars, milk, water, maybe fruit juice. That’s what we had for snacks. Very rarely did we go out to eat, especially fast food.

It didn’t hurt my brothers as much since they were more active, but once I went away to college my diet went straight to hell, because I now had the option of all the things I was never allowed as a child and the opportunity to choose for myself. It didn’t really hit me until my metabolism began to slow in my mid-thirties.

I was able to undo a lot of it in my mid-thirties with the help of the gym and a person trainer/nutritionist. Until i met the woman who is now my wife. She’s Puerto Rican and her family basically doesn’t believe in vegetables. Protein and carbs, that’s it. Our Tganksgiving menu… Turkey, Pernil (roaster pork shoulder), mashed potatoes, stuffing, potato salad, pasta salad, rice abd beans, sliced avocado, jelled cranberry sauce.
