I am NOT bothered at all by this because he is teaching his students how to track calories and all that other good stuff and it taught the kids to pick the healthier choice over the cheaper choice and he taught them to exercise with your diet as well. He could have done it with regular food but the messages still come across the same. Plus fast food isn't always bad. lol
By choosing fast food he took what is part of the life of a teenager. They often meet up at fast food places. I think that what he showed them is that they don't have to give up that part. They can still go...eat with friends...and still make wise choices.
I love pizza...I didn't want to give it up entirely so...I didn't. I just made wiser choices...went with an extra thin crust...left off the meat...loaded it with vegetables...and only allow myself two pieces...added a side salad and for less than 400 calories I am happy a couple of times a month.
Over weight teens and there are a lot of them...need to know that they don't have to miss out on that part of their social life.0 -
How is it not real food?Personally... I don't eat McDonalds. I'd rather eat real food. But... if you can't cook... don't care to.. and Love crappy fast food... I guess its good to know you can make better choices whilst you're there to keep youself from packing on the lbs. Their choice, their life. As long as they don't tie me to a chair and force feed it to me we're cool.
I try my very best not to eat anything that is uber-processed, frozen, out of a box, etc. For me, fast food falls directly into that category. Just as I don't eat hamburger helper or drink coca-cola... I don't eat McDonalds. I also won't feed my dog Purina either. But like I said, I don't look down on those who do... your life, your body, your choice.
What do you feed your dog? Tacos?
Real food (see where I'm going with this?) Most commercial dog foods have nothing but garbage and fillers. Usually the first ingredient is corn, which is not digestible and simply becomes a product of waste, with no nutritional value. It is also the #1 most common allergen in dogs. Over 50% of the dog population will develop an illness or early onset death due to a lack of nutrition (they were fed grocery store food) Do a little bit of research on nutrition. I worked in the dog food industry for years and use it as a basis for what I feed myself. Dogs are not so unlike people in terms of basic nutritional needs. But I digress... My dogs (and my family) get natural food with natural (nutritional) ingredients.0 -
I had a nightmare last night that my family bought Ranch Doritos Locos tacos instead of the regular Nacho Cheese ones. True story
Back IN for reliable MFPer reviews of all the variations of Doritos Taco Bell "tacos". <===did I do that right?
Ok, so I Googled to see if there were variations other than ranch or nacho and found this:

Apparently the guy who thought of this heavenly "taco-ish" (could that be right?) delight passed away last month.
(No, it's a damn taco, for sure!) 0 -

If by "people food" you mean... cookies... crackers... beer... yes. There are many people that cook for their pets, mostly because they have severe allergies. My dalmation mix has terrible food allergies, so we feed him Grain Free, Potato Free kibble (Found at specialty pet stores, some feed stores, etc) and baked/grilled/boiled chicken. The food your dogs should eat would have a meat listed as the first ingredient. Anything else is causing more harm than good.

I have an issue with you using the term "real food" as we aren't discussing the consumption of imaginary food, but instead you seem to be putting a label on anything that you don't eat as "not real." This is a really subjective view of food and it's made even more difficult to find evidence of your true definition of "real food" as you have your food diary private. Food is food, it can be heavily processed, lighly processed, or still hanging on the vine/tree/animal. In this case the only food that is unprocessed is that which is still incorporated with the tree/vine/animal/etc . . . but even then you may consider it processed if you think about the bioengineering of our food sources. Therefore, I still find the question of what you believe is "real food" pretty valid.0 -

Cool, do you have diagrams showing the spectrum of horse heights and where the difference lies between a low horse and a high horse?The only thing I learned from this thread is that most people don't realize the phrase is "couldn't care less," not "could care less."

You don't look down on others but you call what others eat not real food.
Oh. Okay.

I try my very best to research and understand what is in my food and the impact on my health so that I don't make blanket judgements about food simply because it has been processed in some way ie. frozen or boxed. For example, I know that frozen vegetables can be superior to some fresh vegetables with regards to micronutrient content. I don't look down on people who don't do this.........your life, your money, your time0 -
After losing the large amount I did...I went through a "crash and burn" period b/c I refused to eat anything but chicken, egg whites, and spinach the first year of losing weight (lost 90lbs., but it wasn't realistic to maintain eating those foods). So I burned out, and gained back. Not to banter on, but it would have been easier to grab a small sandwich at McD's than to freak out about not having food in my tupperware containers, and it woudln't have killed me to do so. So his "documentary" spoke to me. That you can still be healthy, and not be totally unhealthy. He mentioned macronutrients, and IMO those are more important than calories...0
