If eating trash makes us sick, why do we keep eating it?

Charlottesometimes, I was talking about new restaurants being established in Melbourne at the time and you replied that you believed we need greater scientific literacy.
Scientific literacy - crikey, you can't eat that when you're hungry.

What I find interesting is, and please, this is not meant in a disrespectful way to Americans. i love Americans, love their culture and country, so please understand, it's not me saying this....
We often see and hear headlines here in the UK and I believe the same headline has appeared in various European and even Australia. The headline basically goes,
"Britons becoming as obese as Americans"
"UK as fat as America"
And so on.....
Seen that many times. Seems a little unfair that Americans should be the yardstick by which we all measure ourselves.
But it is true. We are the front-runners in a race no one wants to win.0 -
dbmata said "I know and have actually worked the process of rice harvest, dehulling and polishing which is required for risotto rice.
It's an involved process, and not what a food nut would call "natural".
For those who don't eat rice - try this recipe.
Paleo Cauliflower Risotto for One
Ingredients
8 oz Porcini or Shiitake or Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
2-3 Bacon Slices
½ Head Large Cauliflower, cut into florets
1/2 Shallot, minced
¼ cup + 2 tbsp. Vegetable Stock
1 tbsp. Cream (or Coconut Cream, Coconut Milk, or some other dairy-free option)
1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. On a baking sheet or roasting pan, toss mushrooms with olive oil,
salt, and pepper.
3. Roast 30 minutes until crispy. Set aside.
4. Fry bacon until crispy and set aside.
5. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat, adding some oil for sautéing.
6. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and process,
scraping down as needed, until the crumbles are about the same
size as rice grains. This shouldn’t take long, less than 2 minutes.
8. Add the cauliflower to the skillet and stir into the shallots,
cooking for about a minute until combined.
9. Heat the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer. Add the simmering broth
to the skillet, in small increments, stirring constantly.
10. Once completely incorporated, add the 1 tbsp. coconut cream and stir.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
11. Remove from skillet and place in serving bowl.
12. Top with the roasted mushrooms and crispy bacon, and voila.0 -

Let's be honest with ourselves, that's not risotto.
It sounds like it might be an excellent cauliflower casserole though.0 -

So I have been having this thought quite frequently lately. I eat a bunch of junk (ie. fast food, candy, sweets, fried foods, etc.) and I feel really crappy afterwards. I feel sick to my stomach and lethargic and I swear that I will make sure that I don't feel this way ever again because it is so horrid. But then comes the next day and it's back to the desire of having all the junk again despite the knowledge of what the result will entail. So how does one break this cycle? I truly have a desire to live a healthy and active lifestyle but I feel like I am self sabotaging and trying to fulfill my subconscious self prophecy that I will fail. What are y'alls thoughts on this subject? If you have had any experiences dealing with this issue I'd love to hear about it.
So after 28 pages, what have you concluded? LMAO0 -
That kid's got IT.0

Yup. The sugar thread they just linked you to. She pops in on page 5 with this:DeirdreWoodwardSanders wrote: »I've been on several threads on MFP and I've seen them devolve in exactly the same way -- someone asks a question, someone else comments that sugar isn't very good for them and they avoid it, and then about three people get their hammers out and start bellowing about FOOD POLICE and SUGAR HATERS! and PROVE YOUR POINT WITH SCIENCE OR SHUT UP FOREVER!!!
Well, here's your chance, boys: prove to all of us that sugar is just fine for everyone all the time. Go ahead, there's a tornado watch here and I'll be up all night. I'll wait for your Google links or whatever.
Unless you are going to go the "I don't have to prove anything to you" route while you are all up in arms about the other kids on the playground.
Then after her failed links comes:DeirdreWoodwardSanders wrote: »I could do this all night! But I'm pretty sure I'm about to get scolded for spamming the thread and anyway, the tornado watch is coming to a close. That was a bad storm but no tornados here! I'm tired, and I'm tired of rubbing your noses in your own poop. I'm sure, just like with my dog, it's not going to do any good, and you'll be back on the forums, cracking down on people with your absolute and unshakable belief that anyone with a bad reaction to sugar is a fear-mongering liar troll hysteric.
(On a more serious note, I do want to thank you for giving me something to think about instead of the storm. It really helped me and I had fun instead of being curled up in terror on the bathroom floor.)
Am I the only one where the only thing I got from that was, why would you stay up all night for a tornado watch? They hand those out to like 1/2 the state at a time.0 -

Just skimmed through it. Wow. But I do have to strenuously disagree with one thing from Wheelhouse15:People may not binge on steak but they will binge on cheese burgers and fries.
I will totally binge on steak, if it's a good steak. I will eat it until I'm in pain.0 -

No, that was my first thought as well. Tornado Watch? No way. I used to not even get out of bed unless the sirens were going off but after Joplin and a couple of other tornadoes that hit with no warning, I do try to be more cognizant of Tornado Warnings...
I bet there are people that go to the second floor of their house during flash flood warnings too...
