Life without enjoyment isnt life, and no, I will. Never learn to enjoy healthy stuff. I like what I like and that is that. I don’t need re-education thanks. tter to live an enjoyable shorter life enjoying the good things of life th a n to live a life getting by on crap that is gross. Sorry but there is no way one can dress up things like kale, broccoli, coliform, veggies etc to are them as delicious as a 70% lean hamburger, a juicy ribeye, a cheese cake, etc. NOt gonna happen. And no, I ain’t gonna eat what I like 4 days, and suffer through healthy food the rest of the wee.k
Look around and note the miserable people.chances are, they are veggitarians. Always with their noses in other peoples businesses. Karen s in otherworsomeone wants to eat healthy? Whatever, more power to ya I guess, pass the sugar my way then
I’m thinking that if all of us were thrown back in time to say 1821, before there were all these medicines and modern conveniences, half of us would be dead within a year.
Manischewitz? Mogen David?
I was Mogen David wine, she was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady
She was evenings at the opera, and summers in Paree
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee
The cowboy and the lady, as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee.
“Moderation is the key with all things in life.”
Absotively, Posilutely. I believe most informed people know that but often don’t adhere to it. We often fall into the instant gratification trap and rationalize it.
I find it helpful to keep a food log, I’ve been doing this for several years. I record every morsel I put into my body. It helps.
Drink up! Eat hearty! Screw like an alley cat!
According to AOC, as of next week we have 11 years left due to "climate change".
My grandparents lived on most of these “bad” foods (fatty meat, processed meats, sugary foods, fried foods, etc.), yet they all lived into their 80s and 90s. My grandmothers, who died at 95 and 96, had eggs and bacon/sausage every single morning along with both grandfathers. Almost every dinner contained fried meat or potatoes, often cooked with lard. The fat on the porkchop was the best part! Their homes never lacked for sugary pies, cakes and cookies. My grandfathers (82, 85) would have lived longer, but both were done in by smoking-related problems.

Well the site is great but this article isn’t.
Coffee is a gift from God, no less than chocolate.
And nobody’s talking me out of bacon, as long as someone else prepared it. You won’t catch me standing around watching meat twitch and sputter.
I would add to that list the fake meat/milk/butter products. Just how much processing does it take to give vegetables and grains a pseudomeat texture and flavor? And even with the processing, they still taste horrible.
...from the much-maligned high fructose corn syrup to healthier-sounding ones like agave, date syrup, and cane syrup...
This is funny. Basically, all they do with these syrups is substitute the names to something that hasn't been vigorously maligned (like sugar or HFCS), while the chemicals remain essentially the same.
Agave syrup contains 56-60% fructose, 20% glucose, and trace amounts of sucrose.
Cane syrup is primarily sucrose, with traces of fructose and glucose.
I cannot find the sugar ratios of date syrup, but its primary sugars are fructose and glucose.
For comparison, natural corn syrup is equal parts fructose and glucose. HFCS can contain 42% fructose (which I would argue is high glucose corn syrup, not high fructose) or 60% fructose. Sucrose, the sugar we use most commonly, is a disaccharide consisting of a fructose and a glucose molecule that have been connected. Your body breaks it down into equal parts fructose and glucose during digestion. Fructose is used as a sweetener because it is sweeter than glucose or sucrose, thus allowing manufacturers to use less of it for the same taste (saving them money).
The bottom line is that giving a fancy name to sugars does not make them any more healthy!!!! They are still the same sugars, and if you consume more than your body needs, they will still make you gain weight regardless of their names!
There is NOTHING better than a good half-pound ground beef & chuck burger with a good, thick slice of cheddar, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and BACON on a brioche roll and a nice cold beer on a Friday evening.
I will cap today off with a nice Jameson's Irish Whiskey or two as well.
Oh look, it's FRIDAY! I need to get the grinder out and get tonight's dinner prepped. :-)
Exactly. Doing genealogy research, the weak and the unlucky died very young, dragging the "average" life span down, and the tough and lucky lived to very old ages.
Bugger off food Nazi.
It's even worse than that. If you immerse yourself in the stuff for a few minutes, you die. Ban dihydrogen monoxide!
http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
“everyone who drank it on a daily basis has died.”
Nope. Approximately 7.8 billion still living.
“I understand that dihydrogen monoxide kills; everyone who drank it on a daily basis has died.”
And not just us! Even the creatures of the earth and the birds of the sky end up dying! I wouldn’t even wash my car with that stuff!
“Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., a dietitian “
I’d be dead by now if I listened to dieticians.
Okay - how about - everyone who drinks it will die; but my post still holds in that those who have died drank it.
Sorry - I went to the site and saw them; mmmm, bacon and fried chicken, yum!
Or even breath it in - will kill in seconds.
