The crap some people eat..

LikeAnOcean

Some of the stuff people eat in my breakroom at work for meals boggles my mind.. How does Cheetos, a Twix bar and mountain dew make a meal???.. And then they act like I'm weird because I'm already thin, yet eating an apple. Like I should be enjoying whatever I want because I'm already thin. :rolleyes:

Those are a lot of chemicals in my opinion...maybe they are trying to preserve themselves from the inside out.

I usually have a baked chicken breast, a sweet potato, some brussel sprouts with a glass of tomato juice for dinner. This is pretty much my my norm, sometimes green beans, or spinach, and organic brown basmati with cashews peas and raisins, instead of the sweet potato.

For dessert I toss about 2 cups of organic soy milk, a few tablespoons of brown flax seeds, a banana, 2 tbsps of cocoa, two scoops of chocolate whey powder and a tray of ice cubes in a blender. Makes the most incredible chocolate milkshake, and man does it make you feel awesome immediately.

If I don't eat clean like this I feel useless and like puking when I work out.

I look like the dude on the bowflex commercials though, so it does pay off to be this anal.

I'm a sucker for beer with sloppy beer nachos a few times a week, but eating a meal of candy is something you'll never catch me doing.

Well I live mostly on frozen boritos and pizzas, so I'm not exactly the healthiest, but watching adults eat sweets as meals like little unsupervised children is a fucking disgusting.

and it probably worked. My pre-race meal for 5k runs was a Hershey Skor bar and a Cherry Pepsi.

I got a guy that works here and makes his own trail mix at his desk. Then proceeds to offer me some after he's finished mixing all the stuff together with his bare, sweaty hand. Uh, pass.

I just can't imagine eating all that FAKE stuff...even if I'm eating some kind of sweat treat, at least it's REAL...like organic dark chocolate or soy chips or something...I mean it's ok to treat yourself now and then...but god, think about what you are putting into your body!

I eat a lot of junk food and I'm sure it will catch up with me one day.

Dr Pepper, chips, candy bars, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, and Mexican food pretty much sums up what I eat everyday! TERRIBLE DIET!! hehehe

Damn, I thought this was another 2girls1cup thread.

A very large portion of our population is naive to the dangers of junk food, processed sugars, corn syrup, imported fish and vegetables, and mass produced meats.

there is a reason that 250lb woman is eating general tsos for the third time this week-naive or doesnt care

its the doesnt care people that bother me

Trujeeper

I work at a gas station...job sux...but we serve some fast food there. The grossest thing I have ever seen is gizzards. I'm from the south and we don't even eat this crap. Out here, it is a staple in gas stations and groceries hot prep items. A stand at Pike Place market even offers Gizzards...gross! (And not just because I am a vegetarian...)

YUK!!!!!!!!!!

many severely obese people are actually under/malnurished because they eat so much fake food.

but also, please be reminded that people can be heavy and still have excellent diets.

Wait. Aren't gizzards chicken guts? Who stops into a gas station to pick up gizzards? Some pretzels, water... oh and that pile of poultry intestines.

Maybe I'm wrong but, now that I think of it, gizzards doenst even sound like something I wanna eat.

If its your original caramel Twix, then its a bad meal, however if its the Peanut Butter Twix, then you my friend have just described the true breakfast of champions.

I overheard a pregnant woman the other day talking about how she eats a dunkin donuts bagel with full-fat cream cheese for breakfast at 10 AM, and then to make up for the high fat/caloric content, she just doesn't eat again until 5:30. :rolleyes:

I think there needs to be more emphasis on teaching about (and feeding!) school children healthy diets in this country. There are too many people out there that just don't know how to eat healthfully, and many of those people don't care that they don't know.

Gizzards are secondary stomachs used by birds to grind their food before digestion. Because birds don't have teeth, they must fill their gizzards with small stones to achieve the same goal. Gizzards contain a very tough inner membrane, surrounded by a muscular pouch which provides the grinding action. Gizzards are part of the group of foods called offal, which also includes beef tripe, chitlins (pork intestines), and hearts.

While many people may recoil at the thought of eating bird stomachs, gizzards are actually a popular food item around the world. Gizzards may be poached, boiled, ground, or even deep fried. Turkey gizzards are also included in the collection of neckbones, hearts, livers and gizzards known as giblets. These giblets are often used to make a stock or broth for dressings and soups. The gizzards alone can also be added to soup stocks for additional flavor.

I am sorry, but I live to eat. It is my favorite thing to do in the whole entire world. I am only on this blue marble for such a small period of time that I am going to eat whatever I want.

For you people that eat healthy...keep at it. Do what makes you feel good. It's just not for me.

I read this as I finish my lunch of frozen pizza, cheetos, and a dr.pepper.

at least I recognize that I just consumed a load of crap!

I don't eat this way normally, but no funds for my normally fancy oragnic foods

Could have at least put a smiley in there to acknowledge I was making a joke?

I dont necessarily eat healthy, but naturally

such as grass fed ground beef for those burgers (still fatty, but less bad stuff)
organic deep fried chicken wings-yum

It's a shame it costs so much to eat really healthy food.
