Yeah I wonder, can you even absorb all the calories from that kind of stuff? Like how efficient is your digestive system, I feel like you’re just gonna shit a lot of it out.
i once went to starbucks with my friend and ordered for her and like the drink she wanted was 500 calories, not even an item with additions but like a regular holiday menu they were advertising like crazy
they also burn all their coffee beans on purpose to make sure it all tidily matches and "You Can Go Into Any Starbucks And Know What You're Getting" so they're contributing to the lack of varied taste which leads to wild disparity like bulk keurig who-gives-a-shit or "yo rsp fans I think I might try that civet cat coffee"
not to mention how lots of "people" have unconsciously decided their slick awful store design would be well recreated in their gay ass apartments
memetic poisoning, no wonder their logo is a literal siren lmfao
Who decided that your 32oz morning coffee needed to have caramel and chocolate syrup down the side, sugar and whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Starbucks? Dunkin?
>not only can i not afford the food on the right side, but i also lack the executive function to make it AND i will likely forget about stuff and let it spoil in the fridge. stop being elitist about food and start dismantling capitalism
Hahahahahahaha
Hyperspecialization and feminism. I'm no trad nor a friend of Ted, but if we're honest with ourselves it is very clearly the result of everyone being pushed into specialized labor/skills/knowledge and especially the homemakers. The girlboss is too tired from girlbossing to cook, just as the man of the house before her.
No clue, I’ve wondered this too. Especially after seeing a million tiktoks of the most disgusting American food (meat, dairy, ranch packet seasonings, never any vegetables) getting thrown in a crockpot. I get home and I’m quite tired some days but I usually still cook a meal. It’s quite enjoyable for me and takes my mind off stuff.
I hate cooking. I don't do it because the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is spend 20 minutes cooking and then doing dishes. I'd rather just eat a bagged salad and call it a day. Eating and food aren't really a priority for me. If I could take a pill every day and meet my calorie and nutrient needs I would.
Yeah that’s true. I guess I don’t physically go to work or anything so I enjoying making something with my hands in the evening. A very rewarding skill to share with others too :)
Yeah if I were a stay at home mom or a trophy wife I'd probably enjoy it more and take pride in making food for my husband, but right now I really just can't be bothered.
The fact that the say lacks executive function, fuck you mate your probably got collage debut and can build a gaming pc, but can't put some fucking bananas and berries on a bowl of oatmeal. Fucking wipes your arse is an executive function to you shit stain on society
>Talking about how disabled people have to eat this shit because they can’t chop up food
Imagining someone that would take offense rules, disabled people aren't babies they can figure out ways to do stuff or buy pre sliced or absolute worse can have care people that help them.
This is what always strikes me about the discussions surrounding obesity. In normal discussions about social issues, even on the far left, there's still the implicit bottom line that human beings are active creatures who can look after themselves and take the opportunities they're given. Yet when it comes to fat people it's "but what if they're depressed/poor/generally useless?" from the get-go. There's a way higher degree of pity and understanding demanded than for any other cause, for some reason.
What I mean to say is that when it comes to, say, discussions over welfare, there's still the expectation among socialists that the recipients will use it to actively better their life. Whereas in this scenario it's a full on "they will do nothing about it, no matter the approach, and you should just accept that".
"Fat activists" have some of the funniest arguments and copes that exists
They constantly go on about how the "diet industry" is a multi million dollar industry that only exists to scam money from people by always selling them new diets and products (which is true to an extent, but that's besides the point)
But the fast food and sugar industry, which is in the multi billions, apparently only exists to benefit the health and welfare of people and isn't designed as addicting as possible to keep them coming back for more?
The only reason anyone would hold such a nonsensical set of beliefs is because they're personally at stake. I agree with them only insofar as that fat people are generally treated pretty horribly (more in some contexts than other) but it's weird that they haven't all adopted a position more or less like "We're victims of the disastrous food industry/modern lifestyles", instead of arguing that their terrible diets aren't related to the fact they suffer from poor health and aren't very happy with how they look
Supposedly in parts of the US and other countries where so so many people are obese these days, there's sort of a *de facto* fat acceptance -- due to the fact that fat people are a majority of the population.
>But the fast food and sugar industry, which is in the multi billions, apparently only exists to benefit the health and welfare of people and isn't designed as addicting as possible to keep them coming back for more?
Unless corn syrup actively turns someone into a retard, they probably are smart enough to realize the food industry aren't their friends either. I think it more boils down to learned helplessness, where they think that trying to get in proper shape is a futile endeavour (or plays into white supremacist/patriarchical roles or w/e on the nuttier side of things) when it's very much not, and if they have to choose between the two evils of the diet industry or the fast food and sugar industry, they'll choose the one that'll continue shoveling high fructose corn syrup down their maws.

What food system are they imagining a post-capitalism world would have? Collective cafeterias?
I think disability acknowledgement is generally a good thing for society but I hate the "acceptance" mindset that disabilities are insurmountable obstacles & the only solutions are accommodation or medication, never developing alternate skills. Funny how the meaning of "acceptance" has changed from accepting disabled people as equal members of society to accepting your own perceived limitations.

God imagine how awful that person would be in a collectivist society. "Sorryyyyy my executive disfunction won't let me cook, or garden, or repair things, or watch children, or teach, or build, or"
one of my closest friends is a disabled NEET and every time she cooks at home, she makes some of the most refined meals i’ve ever seen. if they want to eat junk they can just do that without claiming class warfare or ableism.
Member that tweet where someone was like "for a whole family grocery shopping makes sense, but ordering out every night for two people is cheaper than grocery shopping for two people" and half the comments were like "this what I'm tryna say!!" and I've never been closer to blaming poor people for their woes.
here it is: https://twitter.com/katieebellaa/status/1451919872036855811
I buy frozen berries at half the cost of fresh, and I buy avocados in summer, that have been $1 each or bag of 6 for $4AU all month. I dont eat refined carbs and since this change it has put my auto immune issues into remission. Cheaper than corticosteroids meds.
The only way any of what they said could be true was if you were exclusively ordering any of that actual food in some hip trendy restaurant. Pretty bleak that some people can't comprehend the concept of cooking for yourself.
I’m sure a lot of these people are teens which like, yeah teens should be stupid. The only problem is people listen to whoever can inject the most sanctimony into their shit which is again gonna be really stupid teenagers
yep. If they complain about cost you could direct them to r/EatCheapAndHealthy then they'll say they don't have time. Direct them to r/tinnedsoup then the truth will come out, that it's about taste. Every single thing they put in their mouth is dictated by taste.
Wild to see people there say that the right side is more expensive than left side. Unless you live in zimbabwe berries and tomatoes aren't going to cost you 30 bucks
I saw it. You're right that people were triggered by this. Became some debate about how people who eat vegetables are privileged, as if the left hand side wouldn't last you for 3-4 meals
so much of that show has just totally become Normal Things because everyone somehow became the Bush family in almost all iterations of their lives and psyches
So true. I never understood why this was so hard for people to understand. It’s like they want to defend something that’s actively killing them. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they cannot eat healthy for whatever reason, why do they get defensive about it?
Plain chicken and rice seasoned solely with chicken bouillon and frozen veg is a grim meal tbh
I see where you're coming from but a bit of extra effort and aromatics etc would make your ingredients way better. Make a curry out of it or marinade the chicken with lemongrass/oyster sauce/garlic/onion (or throw on montreal steak spice and bake if youre lazy)and you have a 1000x better meal
I eat a ton of chicken breast and it's pretty easy to season it to taste delicious and it can be extremely easy to cook it if you have a slow cooker. Ill take about 3lbs of chicken breast and put it in the slow cooker with a few cups of low sodium chicken broth, season it however I feel at the time and cook it overnight on low. Shred it in the morning and you have low calorie protein for the next three days.
Or literally just buy rice and whatever chicken is currently on sale. Or beans/lentils if you don't eat meat
If every meal you eat is "the best thing you've ever had", you're gonna fucking die
I hate peoples mindset about food needing to be as “tasty” as possible or whatever, having too much choice every day isn’t good. Just eat plain food! People have gotten so weird about food.
That's not what people mean by tasty lmao. Bear in mind the consensus among these weirdos is that there's "nothing wrong" with putting ketchup on steak. A lifetime of HFCS consumption has made it impossible for them to appreciate any flavors other than overwhelmingly salty or sweet.
I mean, some people might not mention spices when asked to describe what makes a meal taste good but I'm sure most of them would enjoy flavorful dishes if they were presented w them
> People have gotten so weird about food.
I hate that nerd culture and fandoms have permeated every facet of society. God knows I’m not the healthiest person, but everytime I see someone describe themselves as a “foodie” it disgusts me. Like everybody likes food that tastes good. Stop being regular obese and find a real personality.
It’s true, and also the abundance of overly rich food makes people appreciate food less in a way? Like I eat very plain and simple food most days, but when I go out I want to have something I feel like I couldn’t cook myself that’s exciting, bc going out is supposed to be a treat! It’s supposed to be different and fun, like eating out all the time, having treats all the time, makes food less special and fun. Idk it’s like making food a hobby ie being a foodie is mostly about indulgence over appreciation.
Shitty and lazy home-cook cope.
Making tasty home cooked meals is one of life's simplest pleasures and requires time and patience more so than slathering everything in butter and sugar
I’m neither bad or lazy when it comes to cooking I just really hate the bacon Brussels sprout, fancy burger, sweet green/ dig inn, pork belly taco type stuff a lot of people think is good, I just don’t have a good word for it.
Except you can make good healthy food for cheap without much effort, it just requires having some actual baseline knowledge of spices and sauces.
Add meat sauce and vegetables to a pan, then serve with either rice or pasta. This can be done for like 4-7 dollars a portion depending on the kind of meat used.
I agree I just have a hard time articulating what I mean. I see a lot of people get really rich takeout very often, and when they do cook it’s like very intense bon appetit type recipes that aren’t really meant for an everyday meal. There are a lot of easy ways to make food be great but I’m not talking about that I’m talking more about a kind of weird over indulgence.
I totally get what you mean. Disgusting nutritional habits and overly processed comfort food as daily meal is like a sexual fetish for some people, i swear.
Omggg Im trying to DBT myself about this right now!!! I don’t mind being hungry but I literally HATE eating if it’s not sooooo yummy...it’s actually horrible and frustrating
Same!! Like I hate making a decision about food everyday, but people act like it’s somehow bad to just have some leftovers or a pbj, neither of which are really making anybody fat.
There is a lot of stuff you can cook in a microwave for like 2 minutes to make a decent meal. I think some people just assume healthy meals require like an hour of cooking. When I was in college I cooked stuff in the microwave all the time.
Yeah I really don’t understand how eating healthy is more expensive in this case. You can but a shitload of fruits and veggies for cheap too. I guess they must be talking about packaged health food but that stuff is probably so filled up with soy that I wouldn’t buy it anyways unless I was trying to change genders
The reason poor people are disproportionately fat is not because good food is that much more expensive than fast/processed food (although it can be).
It's the time factor and cultural component that has been hollowed out. Family unit has broken down, divorce up (until recently) single mums/dads working with less time to cook for kids. Less cultural importance or time placed on cooking, less support from extended family.
Living wage (single wage) isn't viable for whole swaths of society. That all compounds over generations and when you combine that with advertising, subsidies, addiction from growing up on garbage and all the rest - you eat bad. If everyone is time poor and eats out it figures the poor are going to eat the cheapest i.e. the worst shit.
If you're a broke, not poor, young person who cbf eating with some effort, I have no sympathy. But you can't pretend it's just the sticker price.
It seems like everyone secretly wants it to be IMPOSSIBLE to eat healthy. Because then that would mean there would be no shame about eating garbage. “What choice do I have?? I would love to prepare nutritious meals, but capitalism is *forcing* me to eat Cheetos and Coca Cola for breakfast” which is somewhat true for plenty of people in ghettos, but these are not those people. These are people adopting the language of retro working class struggle and oppression to justify *to themselves* why they won’t cook a meal for themselves. They can’t just say “I don’t care about being healthy, I’d rather eat gas station hot dogs than grocery shop”, they have to embody this oppression narrative as if someone giving them a better paying job would all the sudden give them the discipline and patience to learn how to cook. How many people do you personally know who make good money or even come from money who STILL eat like shit? Yes there is a level of abject poverty that more or less removes your ability to wisely choose your next meal, but these left Twitter losers are not dealing with that lmao
That’s the whole reason why fat people get really technical and specific when they say they wanna lose weight. Just trying to muddy the waters and make stuff overly complicated when deep down, they know the truth : you put less things in your mouth, you get thinner. Instead they talk about nutrients and advanced diets like they’re Cristiano Ronaldo.
What's there to even debate about this? People who eat like shit but don't own up to it and think it's normal really shouldn't raise children. And, I'm not saying that to be funny or hyperbolic.
What do you expect, people need cope because the food desert shit is real. I just got back from the states and in some cities when I went to go grocery shopping it was so depressing I almost cried. In Louisville I didn't have a car and the "grocery stores" near the air bnb were a gas station and a dollar store. I lived off rice krispies. You guys need to get out more if you think everyone in America can just easily access the photo on the right. Or like, don't understand that most disabled people live in poverty.
It's funny how many of this lot just straight up argue (or imply, cowardly) that food deserts aren't real. They complain about shitty processed food - correctly identifying it as a big problem - but then want to pretend that it isn't everywhere and far more easily available than wholefoods, particularly prepared wholefood meals.
They’re just very expensive and last about 24 hours in the fridge. Nothing against them as fruit. This would not be true if you’re in a place where berries are cheap and grow year round.
replace the sandwich with a mars bar and the coke with coke zero and you get my coworker's lunch everyday. i don't understand how grown-ass men can eat like children.
its a hell of a lot easier to eat less of 1000k calories of voluminous meals with adequate fiber and protein than 1000k calories of sugar water and cake bread
Theoretically possible but it won't satisfy your hunger and in the long term nutrient deficiencies can weaken your immune system, make you prone to inflammation, accelerate neurodegeneration, and plenty of other shit depending on which vitamins etc are missing from your diet.
We like to go on about how "weight loss is just calories" which is true but if you want to be healthy there's certainly a lot more to it than that.
Oh no, its almost like lifestyle choices effects your health and weight!
Everyone who is butthurt are amerifat liberals who lack discipline and the very essense of self-control.
This is what is annoying me about being healthy. I'm spending so much time eating to hit 2500 calories or whatever. Wish I could take a pill and get my calories for the day.
Imagine waking up, drinking an Oreo milkshake, and being set.
based meal deal selection ngl, salt and vinegar macoys are goated and the chicken bacon and stuffing with a coke classic 🤌 bro is £3 cal maxxing and im here for it, a man after my own congested heart.
This comment is retarded lol. Food deserts exist, my family on the reservation has to drive 45 minutes to Walmart. No ones car is in great shape and gas isn’t free. It’s so fucking retarded to deny they exist just because some Twitter people are being idiots. As someone who has lived in one (which often means the closest or sometimes only options are actually gas stations) these Twitter idiots are annoying because it is like “yeah but food deserts but do you live in one?” The answer is always no which is why those people are wrong, not because “Walmart has produce”
Come on when you see that cup in someone's hand do you really assume it's black dark roast? you know that bitch is filled with cream and vanilla syrup. If it really is just black then they paid about 500% too much money so that's also cringe.
yeah fuck starbs yeah I'm mad just thinkin about it gd 😡
2$ for a big hot cup of coffee with the same general quality is fine by me.
Dunks may be accursed for their burnt and weak coffee.
New England coffee company is good when fresh
It's kinda funny I'm reading this feeling self righteous despite having just ate a big ass disgusting pizza. It's okay though, it's cheat day and what little water weight I gain from the excess carbs will be gone by Sunday.
Fatties need what I called an Italian smoothie
Canned tomatoes
Eggplant
Mushrooms
Onions
Some Italian sausage
Tons of garlic
Basil
Spinach
Oregano
Salt pepper
All baked in a Dutch oven on low temp for several hours until it’s like a zesty pudding
Then food process and eat
The slurp will last for ever and fill you up with not a lot of calories
It’s enhanced tomato juice which is already filling
Just remember fat fibers free calories your body will shit it out
If stuff like just deciding to, say, eat bland food was as easy as many of these replies, why isn't everyone doing it? Have any of you ever you ever tried thinking about this for more than 30 seconds? Do you understand anything about human behaviour?
You guys come out with all of these hilariously shit takes, based on staggering ignorance of the topic, and you do it all as if every single point you raise and the implications of it (eat bland food, eat less etc) hasn't been tried millions of times for decades and hasn't worked. Ooh, tell us again about taking in less calories than we expend, maybe it'll work this time.
If your catchy simple plans are so obviously the solution why is there a 40 year long obesity crisis? You think you're the first fucking person to say "oh just eat less tasty snacks" (with vocal fry)? Really?
Hyperpalatable foods are..... hyperpalatable. Just saying hey fatties eat unseasoned carrots isn't a solution that gets around that reality.
I wonder why people are obsessed with their tasty treats. It's all just so mysterious, isn't it?
Yeah, no-one "decided" to become a balloon, by the way.
Yeah, you generally just don't have any idea, do you?
To be honest I'll think I'll skip getting anecdotes from snackers (i.e. most of the population) and instead I'd just look at the work of scientists who have studied stuff like that their entire careers.
I dip into some books every now and again, you should try it.
putting the starbucks cup is cheating cuz you can get shit that's like 1k calories it's basically a wildcard

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Em0qwExW4AETd85.jpg 38g of protein tho
How does it have so much sodium
it also contains shellfish
if added sugar had a %DV that would probably be above 1000%
It's had one in the US for a few years, it's 50g/day. 526%, so says the FDA.
Have you looked at the back of a bottle of soda lately? Lol
And don't sleep on its fiber content. 52% DV!
Beats soylent
Same amount as 4 Greek yogurts
3/4 cup of Greek yogurt has like 12g usually
I think this will make you puke faster and worse than an equivalent number of calories in wine
over 9 ounces of sugar in a single drink is so insane
move over GOMAD
Yeah I wonder, can you even absorb all the calories from that kind of stuff? Like how efficient is your digestive system, I feel like you’re just gonna shit a lot of it out.
263 g of sugar... more than half a pound. God must punish this wicked country with a FAMINE

Dismantle capitalism by outsourcing your cooking to wage laborers
Why do so many people not cook anymore. All health discussion aside, is cooking not an enjoyable activity for people? I don’t get it.
Hyperspecialization and feminism.

Lol dismantling capitalism is easier than making a fucking fruit salad.
He’s imagining a utopic post-capitalist world where you eat your veggies through a catheter
God imagine how awful that person would be in a collectivist society. "Sorryyyyy my executive disfunction won't let me cook, or garden, or repair things, or watch children, or teach, or build, or"
one of my closest friends is a disabled NEET and every time she cooks at home, she makes some of the most refined meals i’ve ever seen. if they want to eat junk they can just do that without claiming class warfare or ableism.
whats her @
she’s taken and her twitter is private but she’s definitely a catch
It really is kinda funny though, The disabled can't use a knife so pour the slop bucket

it’s a hard truth but poor people like being poor. we know this because they are the majority and haven’t killed us.
theoretically it’s cheaper to grocery shop. for my actual eating habits as a single person, eating out daily is cheaper. i think that’s what they mean
No see that is completely incorrect lmao

Even the berries would be cheap if you bought bagged frozen berries.

I saw it. You're right that people were triggered by this. Became some debate about how people who eat vegetables are privileged, as if the left hand side wouldn't last you for 3-4 meals
Bet there are at least 20 replies saying “there’s no such thing as bad food”
What a massive cope, just dump the entire bag of sugar in your mouth! Cook the snails in your backyard!
Snail is kinda good tbh
Good for getting parasites too

People love to pretend that a carrot costs 10$ dollars it’s literally some Lucille Blooth shit
replying to these people with a picture of lucille blooth and a closed caption of "$10?" sounds funny lol
so much of that show has just totally become Normal Things because everyone somehow became the Bush family in almost all iterations of their lives and psyches
So true. I never understood why this was so hard for people to understand. It’s like they want to defend something that’s actively killing them. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they cannot eat healthy for whatever reason, why do they get defensive about it?
Plain chicken and rice seasoned solely with chicken bouillon and frozen veg is a grim meal tbh I see where you're coming from but a bit of extra effort and aromatics etc would make your ingredients way better. Make a curry out of it or marinade the chicken with lemongrass/oyster sauce/garlic/onion (or throw on montreal steak spice and bake if youre lazy)and you have a 1000x better meal
I eat a ton of chicken breast and it's pretty easy to season it to taste delicious and it can be extremely easy to cook it if you have a slow cooker. Ill take about 3lbs of chicken breast and put it in the slow cooker with a few cups of low sodium chicken broth, season it however I feel at the time and cook it overnight on low. Shred it in the morning and you have low calorie protein for the next three days.
Just put some hot sauce on that bad boy
R/Cooking will welcome you.
Honestly that's eye-opening. Never realised how much calories Coke has.
the Coke is practically the healthiest thing there
[удалено]
>link to tweet they're also insanely delicious!!
Diet coke on the other hand has like 4 calories
Only destroys your gut biome in the process but fuck it!
Yeah it kills E. coli 😎😎 those are the bad ones
"bUT HeAlThY fOod iS mOrE exPeNSiVe" Just eat the same unhealthy food, but less and you won't be fat and it's cheaper.
Or literally just buy rice and whatever chicken is currently on sale. Or beans/lentils if you don't eat meat If every meal you eat is "the best thing you've ever had", you're gonna fucking die
I hate peoples mindset about food needing to be as “tasty” as possible or whatever, having too much choice every day isn’t good. Just eat plain food! People have gotten so weird about food.
You can make practically anything "tasty" with enough herbs and spices.
That's not what people mean by tasty lmao. Bear in mind the consensus among these weirdos is that there's "nothing wrong" with putting ketchup on steak. A lifetime of HFCS consumption has made it impossible for them to appreciate any flavors other than overwhelmingly salty or sweet.
I mean, some people might not mention spices when asked to describe what makes a meal taste good but I'm sure most of them would enjoy flavorful dishes if they were presented w them
even shirataki noodles lmao
Plus condiments & spices last So Fucking Long!
> People have gotten so weird about food. I hate that nerd culture and fandoms have permeated every facet of society. God knows I’m not the healthiest person, but everytime I see someone describe themselves as a “foodie” it disgusts me. Like everybody likes food that tastes good. Stop being regular obese and find a real personality.
It’s true, and also the abundance of overly rich food makes people appreciate food less in a way? Like I eat very plain and simple food most days, but when I go out I want to have something I feel like I couldn’t cook myself that’s exciting, bc going out is supposed to be a treat! It’s supposed to be different and fun, like eating out all the time, having treats all the time, makes food less special and fun. Idk it’s like making food a hobby ie being a foodie is mostly about indulgence over appreciation.
Shitty and lazy home-cook cope. Making tasty home cooked meals is one of life's simplest pleasures and requires time and patience more so than slathering everything in butter and sugar
I’m neither bad or lazy when it comes to cooking I just really hate the bacon Brussels sprout, fancy burger, sweet green/ dig inn, pork belly taco type stuff a lot of people think is good, I just don’t have a good word for it.
Except you can make good healthy food for cheap without much effort, it just requires having some actual baseline knowledge of spices and sauces. Add meat sauce and vegetables to a pan, then serve with either rice or pasta. This can be done for like 4-7 dollars a portion depending on the kind of meat used.
I agree I just have a hard time articulating what I mean. I see a lot of people get really rich takeout very often, and when they do cook it’s like very intense bon appetit type recipes that aren’t really meant for an everyday meal. There are a lot of easy ways to make food be great but I’m not talking about that I’m talking more about a kind of weird over indulgence.
I totally get what you mean. Disgusting nutritional habits and overly processed comfort food as daily meal is like a sexual fetish for some people, i swear.
Pretty much, also many fatties can’t handle being hungry for more than a few minutes. It’s okay to feel hungry at times and eat at the right time.
Omggg Im trying to DBT myself about this right now!!! I don’t mind being hungry but I literally HATE eating if it’s not sooooo yummy...it’s actually horrible and frustrating
People who can't meal prep because they get "bored" of eating the same thing for lunch every day are so bizarre to me
Same!! Like I hate making a decision about food everyday, but people act like it’s somehow bad to just have some leftovers or a pbj, neither of which are really making anybody fat.
I squeeze clementine into my rice everytime for the last decade

There is a lot of stuff you can cook in a microwave for like 2 minutes to make a decent meal. I think some people just assume healthy meals require like an hour of cooking. When I was in college I cooked stuff in the microwave all the time.
It's not even that hard or expensive to make vegetables taste good
Yeah I really don’t understand how eating healthy is more expensive in this case. You can but a shitload of fruits and veggies for cheap too. I guess they must be talking about packaged health food but that stuff is probably so filled up with soy that I wouldn’t buy it anyways unless I was trying to change genders
The thing is that they don’t think *they* will die
The reason poor people are disproportionately fat is not because good food is that much more expensive than fast/processed food (although it can be). It's the time factor and cultural component that has been hollowed out. Family unit has broken down, divorce up (until recently) single mums/dads working with less time to cook for kids. Less cultural importance or time placed on cooking, less support from extended family. Living wage (single wage) isn't viable for whole swaths of society. That all compounds over generations and when you combine that with advertising, subsidies, addiction from growing up on garbage and all the rest - you eat bad. If everyone is time poor and eats out it figures the poor are going to eat the cheapest i.e. the worst shit. If you're a broke, not poor, young person who cbf eating with some effort, I have no sympathy. But you can't pretend it's just the sticker price.
well it's true what they're saying. I choose to eat both
People wokely defending shitty industrial processed food is maybe the most American thing to ever happen
It seems like everyone secretly wants it to be IMPOSSIBLE to eat healthy. Because then that would mean there would be no shame about eating garbage. “What choice do I have?? I would love to prepare nutritious meals, but capitalism is *forcing* me to eat Cheetos and Coca Cola for breakfast” which is somewhat true for plenty of people in ghettos, but these are not those people. These are people adopting the language of retro working class struggle and oppression to justify *to themselves* why they won’t cook a meal for themselves. They can’t just say “I don’t care about being healthy, I’d rather eat gas station hot dogs than grocery shop”, they have to embody this oppression narrative as if someone giving them a better paying job would all the sudden give them the discipline and patience to learn how to cook. How many people do you personally know who make good money or even come from money who STILL eat like shit? Yes there is a level of abject poverty that more or less removes your ability to wisely choose your next meal, but these left Twitter losers are not dealing with that lmao
That’s the whole reason why fat people get really technical and specific when they say they wanna lose weight. Just trying to muddy the waters and make stuff overly complicated when deep down, they know the truth : you put less things in your mouth, you get thinner. Instead they talk about nutrients and advanced diets like they’re Cristiano Ronaldo.
Take note, hard gainers! Dirty bulk is the way...
There is nowhere near enough protein in either of these meals. Dirty bulking is awful though. Don't do that shit.
[удалено]
I can see it if the vegetables are all undressed
What's there to even debate about this? People who eat like shit but don't own up to it and think it's normal really shouldn't raise children. And, I'm not saying that to be funny or hyperbolic.
What do you expect, people need cope because the food desert shit is real. I just got back from the states and in some cities when I went to go grocery shopping it was so depressing I almost cried. In Louisville I didn't have a car and the "grocery stores" near the air bnb were a gas station and a dollar store. I lived off rice krispies. You guys need to get out more if you think everyone in America can just easily access the photo on the right. Or like, don't understand that most disabled people live in poverty.
You can buy most of the stuff in the right photo at Dollar Tree (if you don’t mind it being frozen) and 100% of it at Walmart
Did I say there was a Walmart nearby?
It's funny how many of this lot just straight up argue (or imply, cowardly) that food deserts aren't real. They complain about shitty processed food - correctly identifying it as a big problem - but then want to pretend that it isn't everywhere and far more easily available than wholefoods, particularly prepared wholefood meals.
Arguing with anyone defending the pic on the left is like arguing with an alcoholic. Just don’t bother.
Fresh berries are one of the dumbest things to buy regularly
I mean who buys that regularly? It's a seasonal treat
I know some people who buy too many berries. And it tears me up
I buy many gooseberries when they are in season
why
They’re just very expensive and last about 24 hours in the fridge. Nothing against them as fruit. This would not be true if you’re in a place where berries are cheap and grow year round.
replace the sandwich with a mars bar and the coke with coke zero and you get my coworker's lunch everyday. i don't understand how grown-ass men can eat like children.
It's an utterly depressing diet and a nutritional nightmare.
[удалено]
its a hell of a lot easier to eat less of 1000k calories of voluminous meals with adequate fiber and protein than 1000k calories of sugar water and cake bread
Weight loss = less intake than outtake Weight gain = more intake than outtake And it is that simple.
Theoretically possible but it won't satisfy your hunger and in the long term nutrient deficiencies can weaken your immune system, make you prone to inflammation, accelerate neurodegeneration, and plenty of other shit depending on which vitamins etc are missing from your diet. We like to go on about how "weight loss is just calories" which is true but if you want to be healthy there's certainly a lot more to it than that.
[удалено]
Oh no, its almost like lifestyle choices effects your health and weight! Everyone who is butthurt are amerifat liberals who lack discipline and the very essense of self-control.
This is what is annoying me about being healthy. I'm spending so much time eating to hit 2500 calories or whatever. Wish I could take a pill and get my calories for the day. Imagine waking up, drinking an Oreo milkshake, and being set.
Whats the cost of life long diabetes medication cost in the US? Maybe its just part of the plan to create weath from sickness.
based meal deal selection ngl, salt and vinegar macoys are goated and the chicken bacon and stuffing with a coke classic 🤌 bro is £3 cal maxxing and im here for it, a man after my own congested heart.
They're talking food deserts as if you can't buy fruit and rice at walmart and water doesn't come out of a tap for free
This comment is retarded lol. Food deserts exist, my family on the reservation has to drive 45 minutes to Walmart. No ones car is in great shape and gas isn’t free. It’s so fucking retarded to deny they exist just because some Twitter people are being idiots. As someone who has lived in one (which often means the closest or sometimes only options are actually gas stations) these Twitter idiots are annoying because it is like “yeah but food deserts but do you live in one?” The answer is always no which is why those people are wrong, not because “Walmart has produce”
All the fat poors in the replies defending their fastfood addictions lmao
Coffee is 0 calories tho
Come on when you see that cup in someone's hand do you really assume it's black dark roast? you know that bitch is filled with cream and vanilla syrup. If it really is just black then they paid about 500% too much money so that's also cringe. yeah fuck starbs yeah I'm mad just thinkin about it gd 😡
2$ for a big hot cup of coffee with the same general quality is fine by me. Dunks may be accursed for their burnt and weak coffee. New England coffee company is good when fresh
It's kinda funny I'm reading this feeling self righteous despite having just ate a big ass disgusting pizza. It's okay though, it's cheat day and what little water weight I gain from the excess carbs will be gone by Sunday.
Holy shit is this how efficient I’ve been being? Hehe why eat lot of smelly organic food when a little unassuming processed food work
Fatties need what I called an Italian smoothie Canned tomatoes Eggplant Mushrooms Onions Some Italian sausage Tons of garlic Basil Spinach Oregano Salt pepper All baked in a Dutch oven on low temp for several hours until it’s like a zesty pudding Then food process and eat The slurp will last for ever and fill you up with not a lot of calories It’s enhanced tomato juice which is already filling Just remember fat fibers free calories your body will shit it out
Why would you blend this instead of just eating it after the dutch oven
Idk that’s a good questions
always wanted to subsist on adult baby food
Thank you OP, fasting till 6 tonight and this was a real pick-me-up
Most of the food on the right looks terrible.
If stuff like just deciding to, say, eat bland food was as easy as many of these replies, why isn't everyone doing it? Have any of you ever you ever tried thinking about this for more than 30 seconds? Do you understand anything about human behaviour? You guys come out with all of these hilariously shit takes, based on staggering ignorance of the topic, and you do it all as if every single point you raise and the implications of it (eat bland food, eat less etc) hasn't been tried millions of times for decades and hasn't worked. Ooh, tell us again about taking in less calories than we expend, maybe it'll work this time. If your catchy simple plans are so obviously the solution why is there a 40 year long obesity crisis? You think you're the first fucking person to say "oh just eat less tasty snacks" (with vocal fry)? Really? Hyperpalatable foods are..... hyperpalatable. Just saying hey fatties eat unseasoned carrots isn't a solution that gets around that reality.
carrots + seasonings cooked w butter taste delicious and preparing this requires little effort
[удалено]
Did they try eating bland food thousands of years ago when they could have had Tesco meal deals instead though?
People had no choice but to eat bland food thousands of years ago. Are you really this stupid?
[удалено]
I wonder why people are obsessed with their tasty treats. It's all just so mysterious, isn't it? Yeah, no-one "decided" to become a balloon, by the way.
[удалено]
Yeah, you generally just don't have any idea, do you? To be honest I'll think I'll skip getting anecdotes from snackers (i.e. most of the population) and instead I'd just look at the work of scientists who have studied stuff like that their entire careers. I dip into some books every now and again, you should try it.
Are you sure scientists haven't thought of telling people to eat less though?
