Hey I just watched 'super size me'. It has me thinking, and wow; people in general eat way to much junk food. Something like 60% of Americans are obese. O.o
I don't eat much junkfood myself but what are everyone elses views and opinions?
I think people should cut back on the junk food.
AND SMOKE MORE C-C-CANNABIS!
you're right. I live in Texas in suburb central and everyone is super-obese. Its so sad but you look around and there is a fast food joint on every corner which puts every other restaurant out of business. No one exercises and people fill their grocery carts with junk food. The way the city is organized you need to have a car to to do any type of shopping, so no one walks or rides a bike like they would in a densely populated urban area. There are no hiking paths or hills/mountains to encourage walking. All I have to say is that McDonalds is evil and for some reason people crave it over even home cooked food. I dont know why super-processed/bland/dripping with fat/artificial everything is appealing to people but Americans need to reprogram their taste buds and learn how to cook and appreciate the taste of veggies and whole grain food. I lost 70 pounds and have kept it off for two years. I eat pretty healthy, except when I'm stoned, and even then I only eat ice cream. My suggestion: keep no junk food in your house. Its as simple as that.
As a white suburban heterosexual, the fact that
A) I'm thin, and
B) 60% of Americans are fatty fat fats
makes me a minority for the first time in my life. Me, a minority! I hope I'm not someday oppressed by the fat man, because I will not tolerate this weigh-ism.
i live in a south texas suburb too, i also play football for a AAAAA school district and i work out hardcore every day so eating dosent effect me as of now...im still muscular and i eat horridly
fatty fat fats,man that harsh....j/k Im in the minority too!!!rock on bro-sorry all you fattys
Eating is good man. 3 meals a day, junk food is bad. I eat like a horse but I eat healthy and I work out and im 150-ish lbs at 6'3".
See, we can say "fatty", because we're minorities. If they call us "skinny" though, it's a hate crime!Quote:

I also recently saw that Supersize Me movie, and although I found myself saying "WELL NO FUCKING SHIT, DUMBASS!" through most of it, some of the facts were kind of scary. For instance, these two:
1. One in every three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime
2. Diabetes will cut 17-27 years off your life.
That's fucked up. I'm not even 27 years old yet, so 27 years is a long motherfucking time in my mind. I'm going to do some fucking sit-ups now.
All I have to say is...French fries and pizza taste fuckin' good so I'm gonna eat them. If I get so fat that it becomes a health concern, I'll start to exercise more and eat healthier. But until then, mmmm French fries and pizza!
I eat fastfood, just because its fast and I just can. I dont eat it everyday I mean that'd be discusting. I eat fastfood maybe twice a month.
Gotta admitt fastfood dun complair to mamma's cookin. :D
mmm mama's cooking :D
fuck fast food, eat healthy
or dont complain when u have ten chins and u need to kick the remote up off the table to get it
later
I watched super size me.
I pledged to give up fast food and soft drinks, i've kept my pledge for 10 weeks, when i started. I used to drink like, 2 sodas a day (2 liters per day), when i stopped i started getting headaches and shit but i pushed through it.
Apple juice and water huurraaayyyy!
Its just not about being fat. Its not like everyone who has a heart attack or has disgusting goop clogging their arteries is obese or even overweight. A lot of them are skinny and have no idea that their triglyceride level and LDL is through the roof. Exercise does not totally compensate for all the bad things you eat, and the healthier your diet is when you're young, the less likely it will be that your doctor will tell you to get a triple bypass when you're 50.
My dad owns a pizza shop so its kind of hard for me not to eat that shit. But I stay skinny. Good thing is, I've ALWAYS got a place to go for the munchies.
I wouldent put pizza under the fastfood catagory my friend. :D Haha, thats real cool man i wish my dad owned a pizza resterant. That'd be so cool!!!!!!Quote:

I think a lot of people just don't know any better. Today I stopped at the grocery store for a couple of things, and noticed the food on the conveyor behind my stuff. It was all soda, sugary cereal, snack foods, etc., and lots of it. Then I turned around a bit and noticed two overwright kids piling the items on the counter, and a moment later saw an overweight mother, I assume, in charge of the little squad. As I walked away I thought probably the mother picked up her eating habits from her parents, and was likely teaching the kids the same. Too bad.

People are fat. They need to learn to eat good. Fruits and veggies do it all. Good meat (not some bullshit from Safeway) is awesome. I tend not to eat much at all, but it is so good... Fish is ok, too much mercury these days. People are fat.
People r just sooooo misinformed about what to eat. Like the dairy companies are all touting the 3 servings of dairy a day can help you lose more weight than cutting calories alone, which by the way I read the study and the group of people only lost like a couple of pounds more over an entire year(they leave that part out). But anyways, they think, oh I have to eat more dairy, and they buy crap like yoplait yogurt which can have has many grams of sugar as a can of coke. Yeah, you're really gonna lose weight that way.
