Why MAHA will fail.

[Woodznutz]

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

Helpful yes, but the gorilla in the room is overeating.

. Staying active is huge as we age.

Of course.

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.

Well the more their ruin the economy, the less food people will be able to afford. Promise kept!!!

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.

Vegetables are overrated and too expensive. We're made of meat and bone and need more protein and foods rich in minerals.

People can cut their food bill by eating only what they need, not what they want. Best way to save the planet as well.

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

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. That really sucks.

At least the pie and ice cream was ok.

That's my favorite part anymore anyway.

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.

No shit, hot dishes from the oven are on the warmer, the rest are on the stove.

I despise cold food that is supposed to be eaten hot and it's mostly why I don't eat out much.

There used to be value in eating out when costs were reasonable, not anymore.

I don't consider cold congealed grease a pleasure.

Well me too, but it usually involves a detour to the kitchen
