"Where's the Hope?"

My wife says that Cherry Coke has all the vitamins that she needs.

"This paper identifies the major sources of overall energy and empty calories, providing context for dietary guidance that could specifically focus on limiting calories from these sources and for changes in the food environment," the researchers say in a statement.

"Guidelines". The national government's equivalent of a UN Resolution.

Wow, threadshiatted in the boobees.

Heroic Poser: "Where's the Hope?"

Gee, it's too bad Obama didn't get a bill passed that would improve the health of children or the general public - OH WAIT HE DID

Ooh, a blasting cap!

I've been saying for a while that cereal as "part of a complete breakfast" is one of the biggest scams perpetrated on society at large.

TV Dinners? Pizza Rolls? Chicken farking Nuggets? Please.

Parents: Animals eat food, livestock eat feed. Pick which one YOU want your child to be.

and another thing... stop drinking calories or stop biatching about being out of shape and unhealthy.

Study says children's most food full of empty calories

FTFY

Fruit leather is one of the greatest inventions in the history of the world.

That is all.

/yummy yummy fruit leather
//f--k fruit roll ups
///except the shapes

Seems like cereal no longer offers free toys anymore.

You take sh*t too seriously.

That's called a Philly tireskid.

Liquor bottles don't have nutritional labels, so I can only conclude liquor contains no calories.

Remember when cereal came with Wacky WallWalkers (TM)?

Those were halcyon days, my friend.

BTW, that's from a recent McDonalds where kids look in their Happy Meal because the voice over says they're giving away "hope" and the cute little kids think it's a toy, so they show them looking in the box - as in, they're donating money from Happy meals to charities.
Congrats.

America is a Model for crony Capitalism. the Food Industry in this fading democratic republic is interested in profits, not food. they have stockholders and company brass to feed.

Pepsi, et al., doesn't sell soft drinks.

To be fair, Happy Meals are a Pandora's box of metabolic disorders. It's only fitting the Hope is at the bottom of the box under the fries.

Fat, high fructose corn syrup (sugar), artificial flavors/colors. etc., sells more food.



therefore the american food industry no longer makes real food. it makes crap that looks and smells like food.

profit is the only motive now, not making food.


there's a reason why McDonalds, for ex, french fries will not decay. and that reason is not good.

i've found french fries over one year old that looked/smelled real close to fresh french fries.

What a nutritious kid meal may look like.

The problem is more that "real" foods rot than that "fake" foods don't. If peaches and watermelons didn't go bad I would be in heaven

Hip music probably doesn't help.

and one day, if she drinks enough cherry coke, your wife will have low bone calcium and possible kidney problems. not to scare you, but i wouldn't drink more than one per day.

that stuff is not as harmless as you think. its full of phosphoric acid, sugar, and ~40 to 50 mg of caffeine.

if you knew what the food industry does to our food, you wouldn't be smiling.

i've found mcdonalds french fries in my car that have been there more than a year. they were in remarkable condition and could probably been eaten without any short term side effects.

that is not food. since our digestive systems rely on many different bacteria to help us digest food, those fries won't be consumed by any bacteria. (or mold for that matter)

if it does not rot eventually, i don't think its food.

why do companies alter our food??

its more profitable.

go figure.

its too subtle for me. my bad. i'll go to my corner now.

We all eat shiat.

see below. also, there is web site that shows a dude who collects fast food hamburgers IN HIS BASEMENT,

and THEY DO NOT DECAY. he's had many for YEARS.


that's right, google and learn what you don't know about america's food industry.

the mainstream press certainly won't be telling you.......they're owned by the some of the same folks who own large shares of food industry stock.

they're one big happy family.

Remember when there were records you could cut out of the back of the box?



Good times, good times.

Heh, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman hit it spot on in Good Omens:

The end result was a foodstuff almost indistinguishable from any other except for two things. Firstly, the price, which was slightly higher, and secondly the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman.

It didn't matter how much you ate, you lost weight. [Footnote: And hair. And skin tone. And, if you ate enough of it long enough, vital signs.]

MEALS™ was CHOW™ with added sugar and fat. The theory was that if you ate enough MEALS™ you would a) get very fat, and b) die of malnutrition.

/I think of that passage every time an American nutrition article comes up

It's the responsibility of the farking PARENTS to make sure their kids eat properly, not the companies that manufacture the goddamn food.

FARK I'm tired of everybody except the culpable being blamed for kids being fatasses.

It's been a very long time, but I used to drink Pepsi while eating Doritos and somehow I feel like doing that again.

Maybe I stopped because they dicked with Doritos and they don't have any that aren't X-TREEM ASS FLAVOR.

Just gimme my Cool Ranch, hold the extreme.

Hey, look at that puss eating the regular Doritos!

Why is pizza empty calories?

/guess it depends on how you make it

...I fail to see the downside.

I knew a gal who drank nothing but Pepsi, and as a result she had meth mouth, without the meth.

She ended up having all her teeth pulled out, withotu any sort of anesthetic, not even local. Swore she didn't mind the pain.

/cool story sis

zez: Why is pizza empty calories?

/guess it depends on how you make it

It probably depends more on who makes it.

If you make the bread base and tomato paste from raw ingredients and add real cheese and the toppings of your choice in your kitchen, that's all real food with good shiat in it. Hell, vary the toppings and add a side dish of salad/veg and you could probably have it for dinner every day and still be eating well.

If a minimum wage factory worker operates the machine that assembles and freezes the pizza you buy from the supermarket, chances are it's got more sugar, salt and fat than is good for you on a regular basis. Plus all the preservatives and artificial colours and flavours you could ever want.

Ok, what *should* our kids eat then?

Fark it, my two year old can eat whatever else he wants as long as he still goes for a banana and an apple a day.

My mom always fed us the same thing she was eating. Just less of it.

My kids eat anything I put in front of them. Generally speaking I cook healthy food for them, but they do get the occasional frozen pizza and things like that. But for the most part they eat everything.

As an example... on the bus ride home, my daughter is allowed to bring along a snack to eat since her ride is about an hour or so on the bus. Last week she wanted raw fresh green beans. :)

Yep.

There's a gal that carries around cheeseburgers, and the same thing happens to them. No mold, no rot, just... mummified a bit.

If the micro-organisms won't eat it, I figure I probably shouldn't either.
