I call hamburgers hamburgers but McDonald's also serves chicken sandwiches which is usually what I get because I have to limit my intake of red meat

if you're overweight you seriously have no business eating fast food unless you have a death wish.

I want to know how a vegan gets fat. I ate vegan yesterday and it was like, 1500 calories total, and I ate a shitton.

I think that Alli "weight loss" pill does this. They recommended you keep a change of underwear with you so you can clean yourself up after all the Burger King you ate for lunch comes tumbling out.

I actually think they taste better than the normal version.

I remember when I was six or eight years old or something and my aunt asked me if I wanted a drink at some family event and I saw that there were diet cokes (this was back when they had the ugly grey can and thus stood out very easily) and I had just tried one of those recently and found that I liked that whereas I didn't generally like coke and asked for one and she just insisted that I didn't want a diet soda, despite my repeated insistence right back to the contrary, and eventually I just gave up and went without a soda.

If they were unlabelled you probably wouldn't be able to really tell the difference. A lot of people are convinced that "regular" refined cane or beet sugar is superior to high fructose corn syrup but it's all simple sugars and hype.

The only real major difference is that one source of simple sugar is corn and the other is sugarcane.

just spitballing here but I'm pretty sure the cost of like two or maybe three of those snack food items would buy her a week's worth of rice, which is both less fattening and more filling by calorie count. idg where this "healthy food is more expensive" poo poo comes from.

I think the biggest problem of comparing being fat to drug addiction is that you do not need alcohol or heroin to survive while you do actually need to eat or you will die.

What's unhealthy about it?

Cool NIN Shirt posted:

Glycemic index goes out the window when you combine it with fats, proteins, & fiber--such as those found in beans. Sure it's not nutrient dense but it's cheap, tasty, easy to prepare, and versatile. Considering people have been eating rice for millenia and the obesity/diabetes thing has only been seen recently I'm guessing it's something besides the rice.

Keep in mind when I'm talkign rice and beans I mean 1:1 ratio of each, not some bullshit like this:

Some healthier foods are legit more expensive to buy. Unless you make 100% of everything from scratch then you're paying a premium for healthier things like jams, butters, etc. For example a jam made from actual berries and not 90% crap and sugar is usually a couple bucks more expensive.

Of course you can eat healthy for cheap but you can also eat like poo poo for very cheap with no cooking required.

Also I think you're right that fats think healthy food is usually poo poo like the lean cuisine frozen dinners (which don't fill them up then they eat more because as you said, tiny portions) - but whose fault is that really? Why are cigarettes banned from TV advertising but crap foods posing as healthy alternatives are totally fine?

Hm okay. Go into Walmart and pick up a bunch of prepackaged meals (I poo poo you not there's meals there for less than a dollar each). Stock up for like, a week. Then get a week's worth of groceries - real stuff like veggies, fruits, spices, etc.

Tell me which of those is more expensive. If you say the real groceries then lol you clearly haven't been in a Walmart (or equivalent) for a while.

Costco sells produce so cheap that you'd have to be stupid not to buy it but the same berries at Vons are 3x the price and it can be hard to justify spending $6-7 on a tiny package of berries when I could instead get a massive bag of chips for $4 which will last me longer. That's where your 'healthier food is more expensive' comes from; they are thinking in terms of 'well for a snack I can get a fruit, or I can get chips which will last longer...' which is a bad way to go about it but nonetheless that's how they think.

even if you eat like poo poo nothing explains getting really fat... like how much food are you eating man????? dont you go for walks??? of course the answer is no but drat if i tried to eat anything near that amount i'd be puking and feeling sick.

telling people to eat healthy or eat less obviously doesn't work, isn't it like over 40% of the country is now overweight? that's loving insane.

Is this some sort of condition? I don't understand how anyone could be that unfortunately shaped without it being a medical issue. Is it just that they don't move around much so their legs and arse are undeveloped? I call people this shape Potato people (somewhat ironic given the current cheesy potato topic here) because I assume that's why they are shaped that way. Too much potato based food.

Like this girl has it.

This isn't so much about encouraging fatties as it is discouraging an industry that pushes it's models to be dangerously thin. France had a model die from anorexia in 2010 and it kinda freaked them out about the whole thing. Plus gently caress the fashion industry anyways.
