All I want to know is if KFC will make me sexier.
KFC is trash food, but not the kind you get out of a dumpster. It has poison and toxins. Also, it's highly addictive because the big bad corporations are infusing it with chemicals meant to cause addiction. They are also brainwashing us with commercials. Now, KFC has changed its name because it's fake chemical chicken. And it will kill you. Baking soda will also kill you. Low carb v. no carb v. high carb. Semantics. More toxins. More semantics. Bingo cards.
Thanks!!
Has anyone discussed how a pound of muscle does not actually weight more than a pound of fat yet? I think that is relevant to the topic.0 -
I saw earlier in the week that a pound of muscle weighed 3x a pound of fat.
I was impressed, and attempted to subscribe to their newsletter.0 -
Baking soda is the Devil's cocaine.0

Just look at companies such as Weight Watchers who advertise / sell items that claim to be low fat and will help you to lose weight, in fact what happens is the complete OPPOSITE. I can state this from experience as for years i have been eating what the typical person eats, a low fat, high carb diet and as soon as i changed my diet i felt 100% better and healthier. Try it for a week guys you will be amazed by the results.
Totally and utterly false for me. I do better on getting carbs as high as possible while still getting enough protein and fats.
Also, there other alternatives than a low fat, high carb diet v a higher fat low carb diet!
Not sure how the post I am quoting is relevant to the OP however.0 -

Errata, ffs I'm not going to look it up for you, pick up any old bag of processed junk off the shelf and read the label. You will see many strange and unpronounceable chemicals. You can sell *anything* on the street if people believe it will make them high. :P There is no point in all sticking our heads in the sand regarding the massive tampering of our food supply. It's not BS. Look at the bloody labels. What is all that crap?
Because you cannot pronounce it or do not know what it is, then its automatically bad?

In what way?. [Not actually disagreeing, depending on the reasoning, but that's a very vague statement].
Edited as I cannot type today...maybe I had some baking soda snuck into my food earlier that is affecting me negatively.

First, lol.
Second, no.
However, great that you found what makes YOU feel better.
Third - uncorrect is not a word. Wait, scratch that. It is a word, just not with the definition I believe this poster was going for...
uncorrect
verb (used with object), Navigation
1.
to convert (a true course) into a magnetic course.
2.
to convert (a magnetic course) into a compass course.
That's what I meant for my first. I have counting problems though apparently ;(
Go work on your counting skills you semi headless torso. Why did you have to go and take all the good metabolism from us regular Joes?

Watched the documentary Fed Up a few nights ago, and it's a bit interesting how this thread touches on a lot of its points. I definitely recommend it to many of the people commenting on this topic.
There is a fuzzy line between educating ourselves/having the will to change vs. falling prey to advertising/taking the easy fast food route. It was hard to look at the families Fed Up chose to follow and not think, "But wait a minute, be accountable for yourself! And your children! Grow up!" The truth is, it isn't easy for many people.
There is so much defensiveness when we blame food companies for our health problems. I'm not entirely sure why. It's almost exactly like the tobacco companies. It's especially sad when you examine the state of most public schools. Everyone has a choice (as well as their own will power), but a thirteen year old is going to be hard-pressed to pick water with a veggie/protein dish over a soda/Gatorade with the frozen pizza or fries. This is a problem, which creates a cycle which may stay with them for the rest of their lives.
I also notice many people justify, "I eat _______, and it's processed, and it's considered fast food, but it's okay because I eat it in moderation." I respectfully disagree with this sentiment, unless "in moderation" means twice a month. When we feed our bodies things that severely lack real nutrients/ingredients, whether or not the scale is moving up or down becomes irrelevant.
The bottom line is prep/cook your food, and love yourself. Take the time to break the cycle, however slowly it takes, and watch cravings start to change. Examine your overall well-being instead of your body image. Start to wonder about your blood results. Because whether or not we're thin, muscular, slightly overweight, or even obese won't matter when the body is undernourished.
Fear mongering Documentary
And as far as Fast Food having no nutritional Information
McDonald's Big Mac
530 Calories
27g Fat
47g Carbs
24g Protein
960mg Sodium
Seems pretty nutritious to me.
I like the double quarter pounder with no bun when I do eat there. Fits my cals and macros nicely,

The fact you have a pizza cat as your profile picture as you say this just makes it that much funnier.

So I have learnt that KFC isn't actually chicken, and I am not to blame for eating all the fast food (phew!) but what I am still not sure on is the whole cocaine / sugar /bicarb soda thing and which of these is best with chicken.1

Is that like Butter Brickle? I am on a mission to find Butter Brickle, the ice cream of my childhood... Some brand made a seasonal version, but I didn't have that anywhere near me.

what's the flavor like? I remember a butter ice cream my grandma would buy from Alpha Beta. Or was it Ralphs?0
