Socialism will cure that. Always does.
Too much sugar and pasta.
I’m confused - I thought they used to tell us we were going to run out of food. World Famine was coming, now it is World Glut?
These must be the same people who told us to prepare for the Ice Age, but are now telling us we are going to burn up in Global Warming.
We don’t have too much, it is just that we have to do so little to get it. we’re not out there hunting, hoeing a garden, harvesting, canning, and preparing food.
Some don’t even have to work to earn money to eat.
No, too little self control.
Can’t have people eating, can we? Especially *those* people ... those ones who aren’t as good as us.
Wait...what about all the ads about “hungry” chilrun???
They're not hungry for dinner, they're hungry for candy.
I read a few days ago that excessive consumption of sugar when you already have enough food can cause metabolic syndrome.
I’ve only seen it in one place, so I’m not sure how well established it is.
The famines we have seen are not caused by a lack of food, they are caused by a lack of distribution of the available food.
“Wasn’t it just a few decades back all the experts were predicting mass starvation due to the explosion in population? F’n experts!”
You’d think people would look at these failed prognostications and draw some correct conclusions.
Or maybe you wouldn’t.
Perhaps the salvation of our republic should start with disenfranchising about 40% of the population.
Exactly. Excess carbs make you fat. And sick. There is really no serious dispute about this anymore.
Food is cheap and available to all but it is generally the wrong kind of foods.
My grocery bill more than doubled when I started eating healthy. But the tradeoff is worth it. I'm down 55 pounds since Nov 19th and have about another 50 pounds to go before meeting my goal.
Basically this was achieved by avoiding cheap processed foods, all fast foods, breads, pastas and foods with added sugar. I've been focusing on whole, natural foods - which are much more expensive. For example, air-chilled poultry; fresh wild-caught fish; raw nuts; olive oil, farm eggs; whole-milk yogurt; 85-90% dark chocolate; grass fed beef; grass-fed butter; real cheeses.
Not a cheap way to eat but feel incredibly healthy and energetic.
The first thing I learned about international politics years and years ago was that food was the most potent weapon a despot can use against his people.
“Some don’t even have to work to earn money to eat.”
Aw! Get out of town! You can’t be serious! sarc/ lol!
