Side note my aunts back at it. Today she told me she reworked the public school snack program to chocolate chip granola bars and mini sugary cereal boxes with milk off of fresh apples and sandwiches because their lower calorie and shes fighting the obesity problem. By swapping apples for chocolate granola bars. Funnily they are 150-200 calorie bars. The apples they had been using were around 90 calories. Her logic just dumbfounds me

+1 if you infuse that mixture with a coffee enema2 -

Lol.. Those 60 to 120 calories less will definitely make a huge impact.. Cause it was the granola bars and not the possibility of the parents over feeding them at home. Apple's will totally make a difference
If I understood, aunt is eliminating apples for granola bars. Not vice versa.1 -

Things come to light more and more from the fact that people try to sell ideas to people for a quick buck, however things back in the 90's being sold/exchanged around likely arent the same garbage going around now..
If i remember back in the 90's, everything was about different fitness machines or accessories. There is still a lot of that now but that was the dominate force... thigh master is one of those useless things that come to mind.
Even in the 1960's they had that vibrating belt machine.
But as more and more people realize that weight loss is something people struggle with and long for with minimal effort, they created things that were hard to maintain but gave people water weight loss because people didn't know the difference, so we ended up with juicing, then cleanses and detox drinks and odd diets like the banana diet, military diet, etc.. Apple cider vinegar has had a claim of aiding in weight loss for a while.. but it can only be played out so much by different people incorporating it into their fad diets that they had to start adding other ingredients to it to make it different then the other, thus over time making the woo worse, because instead of having vinegar to dismiss as a weight loss aid.. now its lemon... cinnamon... ginger... and parsley.. all of which like the vinegar are pointless for weight loss, but have been upgraded into the woo.
I reckon social media is the biggest culprit for the surge in woo. It's so easy to MLM, share that post, pin that stupid drink, google something that will tall you what you want to hear... it's just so damn accessible these days. And people are so trusting...8 -

I believe he is talking about tape worms and NOPE I heard a story of a lady who tired it only to die. The tape worms had left her digestive track to other parts of her body and attach to some of her organs. This lead to her death.0 -

i know about that but they said "kelp"
altho i never did look it up, i totally forgot
Me too. But basically a kelp tapeworm sounds like something I don't need to google. Particularly not at work
I try and keep my feet on the ground and remember the major food groups but I get as far as biscuits, chocolate, bacon, and burnt crispy bits and feel like I'm missing something important

Oh Goodie.
Aunt stories again. I've missed those.
So sugar cereal instead of sandwiches and chocolate chip granola bars instead of apples. And she has the authority to make the changes? Can't wait to hear when the parents complain and she is forced to change it back. I'd hide from her that week if I was you

Oh I am totally in. I just had someone on my personal feed write about how sugar stops weight loss and something about plexus products? I don't know what those are but maybe we should add the 0 sugar otherwise we won't lose as much weight even with the parsley
Me too. I unfriended them.0 -

Only if it's "medically prescribed" parsley as opposed to the strictly recreational kind.
