holy_bolt 01/02/23 4:42:46 PM #14:	Geiki_Ganger posted... Is it true ignorance or just a case of simply not caring because they taste so good? A large part of the issue is this: > Is cheap > Is healthy > Tastes good (this includes a diet with variety rather than the same stuff every meal) > You can only pick 2. You can eat cheap and healthy if all you eat is rice, beans, basic produce, and chicken (and even chicken is starting to get expensive). You can eat healthy and tastes good/has good variety if you can afford more expensive cuts of meat, produce, healthy desserts, etc. You can have a varied, flavorful diet that is cheap if you buy trash with lots of preservatives and artificial flavors. Most Americans have to take Cheap as one of their two options. The majority seem to also choose to have meals that taste good and have a variety of options rather than eating some combination of rice, beans, and chicken 3 meals a day. --- If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care.

EternalFlame66 01/02/23 5:53:54 PM #44:	I am not American but I love their food when I was young. My mom told me these are unhealthy, she even described those chicken with 8 legs and 3 pairs of wing! The chicken has been injected a specific medicine. Too exaggerated!!! In fact, fired food with high calorie and causing fat. This is real! I was a fat girl since I like to have my dinner in KFC. @zhenghan --- Such is your fate. <cite>EternalFlame66 posted [p:970574613] in Does the a...

KeeperOfShadows 01/02/23 5:57:48 PM #45:	Of course we know. The issue is that most of us don't care. The average person is only concerned about things that are guaranteed to harm them immediately. Not eating healthy isn't guaranteed to ruin your health, especially if you get a decent amount of exercise, and even if it does it won't happen immediately, so many are fine with taking that risk. Might not be smart, but that's humanity for you. --- Currently playing: DFFOO, Priconne <cite>KeeperOfShadows posted [p:970574702] in Does the a... [t:80298667]...</cite> <quote>Of course we know.

Enderknight17 01/02/23 6:08:46 PM #47:	I'm sure most people are aware. But if that's what you grew up eating or it's a cultural thing (as American as apple pie) it's hard to not what that particular food. Cheeseburgers aren't too healthy but damn I love them. Favorite food. In regards to healthier food costing more I kinda disagree. Not taking into account recent inflation with some staples (eggs, wheat, stuff like that) it's really not that expensive to eat healthy. Beans, brown rice, eggs, in season produce, fish, chicken, etc. Eating healthy is also eating a proper portion so if you're eating only what you actually need and not getting second and third helpings you obviously won't need to purchase as much. And drink water. Soda is ridiculously expensive. I literally feed my family of four for around $100 a week. Sometimes a little more if I need to stock up on something. We don't eat meat at every meal which helps. Lots of beans (bought dry, which are extremely cheap. Instant Pot has them ready in less than an hour) and vegetables. I buy fresh, but frozen veggies are cheap too. --- RIP BigAirDay aka Bill. Not changing this signature until the Carolina Panthers win the Super Bowl.
