re: FAT PEOPLES: One video that sums up the problem w/ American diets.

quote:This is objectively false. The data clearly shows that our rising consumption of things like seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, simple carbohydrates (and carbs as a whole) directly coincide with rising obesity, diabetes, etc. rates. It's absolutely the problem: the ingredients in our food. Every day Americans eat millions of pounds of food containing ingredients that are banned from consumption the world over.
The problem isn’t what’s in the food.
For decades the government told us we needed over twice the servings per day of rice, grain, breads and pasta as we needed fruit and vegetables. Those foods, by the way, contain some of the highest levels of pesticides as any other food, and they load up Americans with carbohydrates they don't need working their 9 to 5 desk job.
It's laughable how wrong we as a developed, western civilization got it for decades regarding a healthy diet. Growing up, they demonized real butter and animal fats, and told us to eat the much healthier vegetable oil spread. That type of mentality in our society hasn't worked out so well for us, but at least now we can get accurate information instead of relying on a captured government bureaucracy to dictate what's "healthy." The government won't act on toxic ingredients because that's not in the best interest of their donors in big food and agriculture. We have to act with our wallets, but it won't happen overnight.

I don’t eat fast food, but today my son wanted chick-fil-a for breakfast. No problem since we had just picked him up from sleep away camp.
I was blown away at the 40+ cars in line to pay money for this junk. Most were fatties (shocker, i know).
People are disgusting.

Son has lived, and married, in Japan for close to 7 years. Visited twice so far & the difference in the 2 populations is visibly obvious. The older Japanese are, by a large majority, slim & incredibly active. Japan is full of bike riders & the older generation on bikes in particular can be seen everywhere, often with large packages stacked on the back. Young men in business suits on bikes are everywhere, especially in the cities' business areas. Diets are nothing like ours: almost no breads, little meats, lots & lots of seafoods , no large portions, instead 7-8-9 smaller portions of a variety of foods.....and their life expectancy is almost 8 years longer. I started looking for fat, just fat, not obese, people & saw almost zero. Not an exaggeration. Both trips were during national holidays & there were 1000's of Japanese filling the streets visiting the many temples. Just no fat people.

The recipe in the OP looks a lot like Ruth’s Chris’s.

So however many sweet potatoes you use, match the proportion with an equal butter/sugar mixture.

I felt so sorry for the waste of yams.
Last week we took a short trip and the lodge breakfast included packaged instant oat meal. My husband made a bowl for me and it was ghastly. Instant oat meal with brown sugar and maple something. That half cup of oatmeal had more sugar etc. that all the oatmeal I eat in a week (every morning, one cup microwaved with dry blueberries and ceylon cinnamon and a half unpacked tablespoon of brown sugar. And I worry I use too much sugar on it.
If yo can look at a European cookbook, you'll find the cakes and pies use a lot less sugar than our versions.
Southeast asia has a love of sour that we don't share (and I've had Taiwanese friends who found Southern Chess Pie to be so sweet as to be inedible.

People need to go back to smoking cigarettes. It’s healthier than eating like a pig

It's pretty obvious. People used to eat as their ancestors had eaten. They grew up learning their mother's recipes that she had learned from her's. Once TV came along and everything became commercialized, the food industry took hold and women started making meals according to, Betty Crocker and whatever they saw on the boob tube. People forgot how to cook traditional meals with traditional ingredients. Fast forward to today and people rarely even cook. Now everything is ultra-convenient and prepared to make palatable food that is cheap and creates cravings for more.
That's all it is. Food is just another drug for a lot of people.

A fun eye opener is to go and look at brands that are released in the USA and Europe and compare the ingredients.
I would like for you to show us bc it’s most likely bs. People say shite like this all the time and it’s completely false. Europe has plenty of bad shite in their food too. The funniest is the HFCS bs about it not existing in Europe which is also false. It’s labeled differently which is Fructose-Glucose Syrup

Of course our food is shite but the point went over your head.
You have the option of eating strawberries vs strawberry abita. With some discipline it’s really not difficult to maintain a healthy weight and body composition.

Hell, look at the OT. A picture of a clearly overweight chick with a blob of an arse will be posted and 3/4 of the posters here start drooling. You post a picture of an actual slender, in shape girl and the comments "she needs a sammich!" or "she's got the arse of a 12 yr old boy!" start flying.

My issue is - why does the FDA allow all of this BS in our foods, while the European equivelant doesn’t? If the FDA would follow the European model it’d go a long way.
