BTW, potatoes are not "bad" for you unless you're a sedentary person who never exercises, in which case they can lead to weight gain because they're fast-burning carbs. Sweet potatoes on the other hand, don't burn nearly as fast, and are actually quite good for you.

Potatoes are GREAT post workout. BAKED potatoes.

All the money they're planning on spending to get uninsured people insured......How about spending some of that money encouraging those people to eat better? Things like brown rice and black-eyed peas are affordable even to poor people, and they're a lot healthier than most of the crap those people eat. Or how about spending some money improving the shitty food they serve at school cafeterias?

That's Jamie Oliver's job.

I like HFCS.

This thread is corny.

However, I like sugar colas better than HFCS colas. It is the HFCS that makes me drink my whiskey straight anymore.

Yes... those are broad generalizations, but aren't those the same generalizations that are being made in the push to get away from the overprocessed foods?

Quoted for truth. Nothing more to add.

You fatten livestock with corn.

I have been saying this about HFCS for YEARS, despite industry claims that it has the same ratio of Sucrose to Fructose as Table Sugar, the sudden spike in US obesity having coincided with the widespread soft drink industry shift to HFCS was already a pretty damning bit of evidence for anyone paying fucking attention, but it sure is nice to see the fuckers in lab coats confirm my suspicions.

I thought I liked that throwback pepsi better with actual sugar. you really can tell a difference.

this doesnt surprise me though, isnt HFCS a synthetic sweetener? I've long believed natural shit is 100% healthier than that absolute shit synthetic sweetener.

So, you guys are going to avoid eating chicken, eggs, and beef, simply because those animals eat a lot of corn? Please.

If so, then go right ahead and eat seafood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner........And die of mercury poisoning instead

Jesus, and you guys give ME a hard time for whining about cancerous grilling hydrocarbons

No, I'm not, especially since I developed a shellfish allergy a month ago,

We're trying to locate sources of meat that are more natural. I do not wish to eat animals that have wallowed around in their own feces and fed shit food until they are nearly dead. I'm fortunate because I grew up on a cattle ranch that is family owned. I can have a cow slaughtered (as soon as I get a deep freezer) that has been entirely grass/hay fed and given no antibiotics or other chemicals at all.

As far as chicken goes I haven't found a solution. The whole chickens at the local mexican meat markets are higher quality than Pilgrim's Pride and of various sizes with normal sized breasts...but i still don't know where they came from.
