Why do some people up here make it seem like eating fried foods are bad?

    Yes you do. So delicious - worth every last calorie.

    Fried foods are an indulgence for me...not something I would have on the regular.

    I watch my sugar intake due to pre diabeties and fatty liver. I cut sugar no more pre diabeties now. So for me high sugar foods are not healthy. Nothing wrong with treats but if someone was eating all calories of chocolate bars not many nutrients in them. I try and look at food as fuel.....if it is full of chemicals I TRY and stay away.

    I'm pretty sure nobody in their right mind is doing that...

    I do it when cutting, but it's also short term (a couple of weeks) and I supplement the hell out of micros, efas, a probios when doing so. I mean yeah, I'm not all there, but I'm not completely off the deep end.

    If the majority of my diet was made up of fried foods, I'd most likely miss out on some nutrition elsewhere. If i had 3000-4000 calories to play with, it might be another story.

    A meal of chicken parmigiana and chips (fries) clocks in at around 1600 calories. Pizza or big mac meal, at least 1000 calories. Meals like these are just not worth eating regularly for me.

    No matter what type of food you mention there will be ummm.... "shaming" of it from someone. Talk about eating whole foods and someone will say how horrible it is, talk about dairy and it will be the devil, talk about candy and it will be a sin, talk about fast food and it will be a sin too. This "shaming" or disapproval of certain types of food will go on until the end of time and space. People get offended about what others eat and feel offended if they suspect any criticism or dislike of what they eat. I expect it and these forums wouldn't be the same without it. In fact, if I didn't see that going on in here I would assume everyone had been abducted by aliens and replaced with drones.
