No health-obsessed person would eat graham crackers Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 16/02/2012 04:53:19 PM

I think people want to feel like they're eating better but either don't know what that really means or are willfully deluding themselves that these so-called "healthy" options are actually better for them. I can feel great about eating a salad instead of a cheeseburger if I pretend it doesn't actually have more fat and calories than the cheeseburger.

That's an interesting point. Depressing, too, if most people really can't see that health should always be incorporated into one's diet. Taste, flavour, texture, etc. are important, but so is health.


A person who eats nothing but salad (dressing on the side), graham crackers, and edamame may live longer than someone who loves a good steak, but what kind of life is that- you're basically writing off one of your senses entirely.

Much better is to eat what you want, but in moderation, and try to be a little active. And don't WORRY about it so much!


Like everything else, there should be a happy medium. Given the wretched state of America's health and diet it's pretty clear that more people ought to be more worried.

On the other hand, I can think of no greater killjoy than obsessing about your health beetnemesis - 16/02/2012 04:47:28 PM 541 Views

Modern mass-produced ones at least. Refined flour, refined sugar, partially hydrogenated oil... *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 16/02/2012 05:40:07 PM 263 Views
