    You guys started up way before that and you know it. Ding dongs and cupcakes come to mind.

    Oh yeah. It started in earnest when someone said that things she can't pronounce are automatically bad.

    boom!

    :drinker:

    Except you missed the part where labeling foods as "bad" or "junk" is inherently judgmental/bashing/fear-mongering. You like living your life that way good and great, you start calling my life choices "junk", YOU'RE the one making an issue of it.

    Hey, being too stupid/lazy to learn 'big words' is a legitimate reason to not eat certain things. Words are scary!

    beats me….that guy never came back to clarify one way or the other…I assumed he was serious…and I have heard other people make the sugar to heroin comparison...

    remind me who was addressing you when they called it junk?

    were you even in the thread at that point?

    if you have a right to eat it and say what you want, we have a right to consider certain foods junk. see how that works? the only difference is you guys have a mob that likes to hop together from thread to thread so you get to shout down those who have opinions different from yours.

    You can yell and scream all you want, but that doesn't make my opinion that a ding dong is junk less valid.

    they are, but not half as much as the chemicals they describe. :wink:

    No we shoot down the BS claims of people who try to tell others that certain foods are inherently bad or that someone else's personal choices are junk.

    I don't tell you or Kady that your food is junk. But you both say my food is junk. See the problem?

    I don't see how eating one ding dong and staying in a calorie deficit makes it "junk food"….

    the problem is you'd have a tough time backing up the claim that kale is junk. :wink:

    Besides .. Ding Dongs are just cake. And cake is healthy. Bill Cosby addresses this quite clearly.

    really simple. just because something fits in your macros doesn't make that particular food as healthful and nutritious as another option.

    is it fine to eat a ding dong now and again, sure. is it fine to splurge and eat nothing but crap for a day every now and again, sure. should you cut anything out of your diet because it's "bad"? for the most part no.

    that does not mean a kale salad = a ding dong. get it? one is more healthful and nutritious than the other.

    As valid as any opinion is, which is to say, absolutely worthless. Present me with verifiable and replicable data and I'll tolerate the "bad" label.

    And the "you" was a general place holder, which you perfectly well know, but go ahead and split hairs all you want.

    And you have had a tough time backing up the claim that ding dongs are junk.

    Youll live longer eating nothing but ding dongs than nothing but kale, after all.

    The ding dong is arguably more nutritious than kale.

    1) i doubt it and 2) what kind of quality of life would that be?

    don't answer though because this isn't a conversation I'm interested in having.

    I don't think anyone made the claim that kale = a ding dong…

    and to your fist point …you pretty much just agreed with what everyone has been saying to the OP …so why come in here complaining when you actually agree with what the majority of people are saying?

    Straw-man argument, I haven't seen anyone on this site claiming that some foods don't have a higher nutrient value than others. But I have seen PLENTY of people trying to claim that these so called "bad" foods are responsible for an entire plethora of ailments when they have absolutely NO evidence to back the claims.

    because I wholeheartedly disagree with the manner in which it's said.

    please re-read and tell me that ALL of you were the pinnacle of respect and politeness. :flowerforyou:

    What if we wrap the ding dong in kale?

    Why would you ruin a perfectly good snack cake by wrapping it in a weird garnish?

    So you don't believe that the SAD is responsible for America's obesity and overall health woes? Huh. Because I'm pretty sure every scientist, nutritionist and doctor would disagree with you on that one.

    nu·tri·tious
    n(y)o͞oˈtriSHəs/Submit
    adjective
    1.
    nourishing; efficient as food.

    By that definition, the higher Carbs, Protein and Fat in a ding dong could arguably make it more nourishing or efficient as food.

    You can't eat enough Kale to nourish your body properly. It's not efficient as food.

    Fair point. What if I place a small piece of kale on the plate somewhere?
