What I Miss Most--Top 10 List of "Bad" Foods

Gigi_licious

You've made a lifesaving move. Most of the foods you listed are life-shorteners. Good luck. Keep your eye on the prize.

Life-shorteners?

Care to explain exactly what you mean?

Yeah, it's pretty self-explanatory. The foods he listed are predominately foods which will subtract years from your life rather than add, especially if eaten frequently. The White Castle, the Arbys, the alcohol, the lunch meat, the soda, the chicken wings, etc., etc. Calories are NOT everything. There is a little thing called NUTRITION. I think you knew what I meant and are trying to provoke an argument, which you will not get. I simply stated my opinion, which is based on a TON of research and 54 years of experience. I am 5'7" and weigh 120 pounds and have more energy than I know what to do with, am rarely and I mean RARELY sick, sleep like a baby, and am fit and toned and I eat ZERO of the foods he listed. And besides, I was speaking to the poster, who has made a lifesaving move. To each his own opinion.

So if I eat an Arbys sandwich, drink a glass of wine, have a turkey deli sandwich, and eat a basket of chicken wings while watching the football game, then I'm going to lose years off my life? Because you have 54 years of experience and have done "a TON of research"?

Not trying to argue or provoke anything, but could you please cite studies or your research that proves eating these things will make you lose your life? I'd be interested in reading it.

Like I said, you are not getting an argument from me. I've done my research, do your own. If you want to eat all those things that is your perogative. I'm not trying to convince ANYBODY, least of all an argumentative person such as yourself. I was STATING MY OPINION, and I am not required to devote the literally hours of time it would take me to list all my references, but if you live in today's world, you should already know that the things he listed are bad for you. Even in moderation, unless you are talking once or twice a year. I don't expect you to do a dang thing because I said so. I simply stated my opinion TO THE POSTER, not to you. Now bug off. I have whole foods to prepare and a 4 mile walk to do.

Wow who pissed in your cheerios this morning? Sounds like you need a hug.

As long as it was a pregnant lady and all she eats for the day is Cheerios, it'll all be ok.

I'm actually walking over to the store right now to pick up some buffalo wings and pizza ... probably cheese stuffed crust.

Good thing for me that a**holes live forever

Ok first ouch your picture looks like it hurts.

Second, please each a dozen wings for me. On my day off --Sat I will eat wings and watch Michigan win another football game.

Yes.

And, if you do all of those thing within the same calendar year, it would be wise to call the funeral home and book a weekend for the visitation and funeral.

Just curious (and seriously, sarcasm is at a minimum here) *other* than being 5'7", 120lbs and an energizer bunny- do you have a background in nutrition? Height, weight, and energry level are not characeristics that will neccesarily qualify someone as a health expert.

I have a friend who's 5'5", 115 lbs, and crazy energetic. She also binge drinks every weekend and then "makes up for it" with 2-3 hours of cardio Monday-Thursday. Based on her height, weight, and energy level (which are what you listed as your own qualifications) I guess this means it would be ok for me to adopt her lifestyle. Afterall, she's got 28 years of experience!

jmxxiiii

I think it's all good in moderation.

I agree, I refuse to skimp out on my booze,food etc. Life is not life if you're constantly counting your calories and eating like a rabbit.

1. Comfort Foods, Let's see. No more White Castle, 5 for $5 Arbys (yes all five), enchaladas, Skyline Chilli, cream of whatever soup, and on and one. Almost everything I ate, was bad for me.



there is nothing a Cincinnatian misses more than SKYLINE CHILI.. except maybe graeters black raspberry chip!!

mhughescmu

You will hate me cause I am a recent transplant from PITTSBURGH --Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Skyline is my new favorite vice.
Primanti Brothers is a culinary disaster but oh so good. LOL

You don't have to give up the Skyline...you just have to make it at home. There are some good recipes out there for it. Subbing the beef with turkey or TVP works. Trust me. Or you can just load it with beans, so you can have your four way, minus that wonderfully thin shredded cheddar and the beef.

P.S. I grew up about a half hour from Hershey. I miss chocolate Twizzlers hardcore
