Eating Pop Tarts and ice cream daily.

fresh_start59

I probably don't belong here because I don't like Pop Tarts. My kids used to eat them. I'd take a bite and think, blah, bland, not enough sweet.

I think I'll stick to my daily cookies and chocolate ... yes, I'm serious. My diary is open.

I can't bring a half gallon of ice-cream into my home. It is my one weakness. But I do allow myself a single serving now and then. Maybe I'll get one of those single-serve containers and put it between two Kashi cookies. Mmm....

but whatever. y'all think you're right and I think i'm right. I'm done.

SO basically, if you don't pull it out of the ground or gnaw it straight off the bone, it's highly processed?

BUT- IHOP Chicken and Waffles are cool. :noway:

Greek Yogurt, corn bread (home made by myself thank you), Cherrios, Fiber One,milk, cottage cheese. Must count as junk because they didn't come directly from the earth.

they're all heavily processed and fortified, exactly in the ways pop tarts, cookies and ice cream are.

but whatever. y'all think you're right and I think i'm right. I'm done.

Coach Reddy, I'm confused. IHOP Chicken & Waffles--do they not count as processed? Do the waffles contain only unfortified flour? Adding up the processed food in your diary yesterday, I get at least 50%.

Just an observation.

you talk about logic - you can't have an opinion about a fact. something is either factually processed or it is factually not processed. there is no opinion on the matter. it either comes from a factory or the ground. It comes in a box/package/can or it comes from the produce section.

but something can be "minimally" processed or "heavily" processed - THAT can be opinion.

processed past participle verb
Perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on (something) in order to change or preserve it: "the stages in processing the wool".
Walk or march in procession: "they processed down the aisle".

Most food we eat is processed, whether it's in the produce section or not. That doesn't inherently make it bad for us. How much do you weigh?

1) not actually from ihop
2) yesterday was cheat day because my girlfriend wanted to go to this place we saw on tv, so we did.

and my processed foods have

1) as few ingredients as possible
2) are not empty calories
3) are nutritionally dense

but I know, you guys really love things black and white. the problem is that this whole time I've been talking about nutritionally deficient, and heavily processed foods.

we all eat processed foods, but it's your choice HOW HEAVILY processed they are.

(damnit I really wanted to be done)

Cottage cheese and greek yoghurt are not heavily processed. I make them at home.

And I thought you'd left. I changed my pic and everything. :laugh:

Because I think it's important:

Ice cream isn't nutritionally void. Bloomberg said so.

also this:

Empty calories, in casual dietary terminology, are a measure of the digestible energy present in high-energy foods with little nutritional value, typically processed carbohydrates and ethanol (alcohol), and to some extent fats. Also known as a discretionary calorie, an "empty calorie" has the same energy content as any other calorie but lacks many accompanying nutrients such as vitamins, dietary minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, or dietary fiber.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_calorie

Did you just cite Wikipedia as an information source? Even processed foods today are fortified with micronutrients (i.e Poptarts)

please continue reading. fortified nutrients are not as bioavailable as real nutrients and have been banned in a number of European countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_fortification

You run into the same sort of issues with food in general... not all the nutrients are bioavailable in a cooked piece of chicken as well. Obviously if your diet consist SOLELY of poptarts there will be issues. Eating whole foods that are nutrient dense, and then a poptart to fill in remaining calories is not a problem? Also, after you cited Wikipedia as an information source, you then cited it again as a rebuttal to its legitimacy? I dont even....

I know... :laugh: then a couple people called me out on my diary - which is pretty damn beautiful if I say so myself - simply because, for the first time in a few weeks, I had something crappy for me.

thought y'all were all about moderation!

(sorry about the pre-emptive picture change...)

nope, that's not a problem, as I have said multiple times throughout this thread. (people just only pay attention to the parts they want to flame)

Have you noticed a trend. In the majority of the threads you post in, it is you arguing with just about everyone else. Then you accuse people of having "sides". Do you see anyone else here agreeing with you. I saw someone post something appropriate the other day that you may want to think about. It went something like this; if you run into someone that in a problem during a day, they were a problem. If all you run into are people you think have problems, you are the problem.
