    in literally no way is this true. I said in my scenario that we're talking about a perfectly healthy grown person, and in that person there is no scenario where kale is bad, but there ARE scenarios in which ding dongs are bad. sad that I have to rehash instead of you just... reading it all when I first said it.

    Even my 3 year old knows kale, "greens" are healthier than cake (essentially what a ding dong is, right?) Why argue this point????

    because of the bastardization of IIFYM.

    Sad is not being able to figure out that there is no way in which the ding dong is bad either, given that multiple people have said it many times.

    Sigh.

    Both have a place in a balanced diet if you so choose it. Ding-Dongs are something I would use to hit my carbs and fat at the end of the day and Kale...well I wouldn't eat kale. It's a garnish. I don't eat garnishes.

    And in some strange situation where I have 50 calories left and only had a ding dong and kale to choose from I'd eat 50 calories worth of the ding-dong. Excerpt I don't eat ding dongs either.

    Guess I'm screwed.

    !!! :noway:

    do you literally NEED me to copy+paste everything for you again? really? really?

    if you're at 1750 calories out of an allotted 1800 and you can choose between kale and a 2pack of ding dongs... which is the BAD - bleeping - CHOICE?

    lol you need to stop. you're embarrassing yourself.

    I want to point something out that's totally brilliant here:

    NONE of the IIFYM-ers here defending ding dongs don't eat kale.

    I love it. It's too perfect. :laugh:

    because if you eat the ding dongs and maintain your deficit then no, it is not bad...

    I will never understand this thinking. Having a treat is fine. We all do it. By why not encourage people toward health, especially on a "snacking too much" thread. Meaning-- hey, I might be overdoing it and I need to control it. Perhaps I should make better choices??"

    This wasn't a "OMG it's my birthday, should I have Kale instead of cake?? What should I do?????" thread. Then you can perhaps say-- hey, have a piece. Don't go overboard, but it's okay to live life and have cake occasionally.

    But no. That's anathema here, apparently. You need daily ding dongs to reach your goals.

    Jonnythan's diary is a treat in that regard.

    apparently, you still have not read through the thread…

    this was a ….is it ok to eat snacks - Like ding dongs - if I maintain my deficit thread….

    because if you eat the ding dongs and maintain your deficit then no, it is not bad...

    though, again, it is a less nutritious option than said kale, and thus it is a less good choice (which also means worse which also means comparatively bad)

    The response I want to give would be strike worthy so instead I'll continue to say "All things have a place in a balanced diet, including daily ding-dongs." If you can't understand that then, frankly, I'm glad my manner of thinking is beyond you.

    And you seem to be confused about what the thread was about, beeteedubs.

    Likewise. It's like picking up a book, reading the last three pages and thinking you know what's been going on for the first 700.

    And if you are at 1500 and need 1800, which is the bad choice? You want to pretend your arguments are the only ones that matter, but they're not. I've read all of your comments as well as the ones from everyone else. You've been shut down multiple times and think no one will notice if you just keep arguing. It's not working. There is no BETTER given the two choices you postulated, period, end of statement. The concept of better in this example is entirely circumstantial.

    Trying to attack my personal intellect just proves that you have nothing of further value to add.

    this is why this thread has gone the way it has, beginning with this particular poster.

    there's not a single moment in this thread when I've been shut down. lol

    now you are just playing with semantics….so I disagree.

    I imagine she thinks the first bit of the book is a bunch of people who have only ever had vanity pounds to lose plotting to make people fat by promoting snack cakes or something.

    To recognize it, you'd have to be open to arguments beyond your own. But clearly you are incapable of retort beyond the form of belittlement at this point.

    If you knew anything about me you'd know I've been wrong on numerous occasions and always will admit it if it happens. I'm actually quite reasonable.

    Debating with the others has been fun, you... well... it's been a little more frustrating. But have a good night nonetheless. :flowerforyou:

    Yep, you've been the voice or reason, moderation and respect on every single thread you charge in to, but clearly, it's everyone else that's rude and wrong. I'm reminded of an episode of South Park with Cartman, anyone know the episode I'm thinking of and have a good gif to add?

    OP quote at beginning of thread " I have such a hard time getting any control over my snacking habits"

    Snacking too much
    Hard time controlling.

    Hmmmm..... I don't think I misread anything.

    for laughing? methinks foul language is a worse offense. Not that i am pressing any buttons...because reasonable.

    I would call it a tone of superiority and mocking....
