    All our bodies are so different, the truth is no one really knows what works or how it works, but everyone who's read the latest article is an expert... (rolls eyes)

    Our bodies are remarkably similar. We know quite a lot about what works and how it works for the important aspects.

    Our behaviors are very different; however. Despite this simple fact many get lost obsessing on the insignificant issues and lose the larger picture. There is easy money to be made convincing people otherwise - 20 B in the US alone.

    Not so, truth is we really have no idea...
    Anything you can find a study for, low carb, cico, veganism, high protein, low fat, gluten free, organic, hiit, steady state... Whatever

    I bet you can find a study that provides evidence to the contrary, and an army of people who believe the opposite...

    I've found that many of today's know-it-alls, will claim something totally different when the next trend comes along

    ... only if your definition of "study" is extremely loose.

    The one truth and constant is that large food manufacturers and the fast food industry doesn't give a damn about you...

    I understand that their a business and responsible to their shareholders blah blah blah...

    But that's exactly the point, they only care about the profit and not for your health

    That's is a sweeping generalization that I don't believe applies to every large food manufacturer or fast food company.

    On an unrelated note - I've been totally craving a McGriddle the last couple of days!

    I could totally eat a McRib right now... or two or three.

    Ooooh, with extra onions and pickles. I haven't had one of those in years!

    Whenever they show up, I always crave one. They never cease to disappoint in their mediocrity, but I still keep coming back :lol:

    Exactly! I order one, take a bite, and think "I got all excited about this?!?" LOL

    Get out of my brain you two!

    These are good with a package of BBQ sauce dumped on them. If you're like me you carry a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's in your pocket for emergencies.

    That's the best BBQ sauce. It can fix anything.

    Come to Germany, we have them all year 'round.

    I totally want to come to Germany. I'm (mostly) German. Need to visit my ancestors' homeland.
