something I saw on FB

But there are commercials for chiquita bananas all the time.

This is why you don't listen to FB :laugh:

I know that Kashi go lean has some ads and almonds

" The key to eating healthy? Never eat a food that has a commercial for it".


HOW TRUE!!!!

i guess its true. but, some foods, like strawberries are great for you. I think , i've seen commercials for strawberries and other fruits. What I think would be more exact would be to not eat anything that is prepackaged, cooked, prepared and has commercials. prepackaged-prepared foods are poison. commercialized-foods are, for the most part, poison. They are intended to make you crave. Food companies have scientists and psychologists working to make you want their poison. Healthy foods do not make you crave. So, commercialized foods won't use healthy food to make you crave their product. commercialized foods have a tendency to be laced with starch or fat or something that sends signals to the reptilian part of the brain (the hypothalamus) to reward the eater by releasing endorphins ( feel good hormones basically morphine) and give pleasure to the eater for eating unhealthy fattening foods.

people are basically addicted to carbs, starch and fat because of that mechanism in the body.
So, next time you catch yourself thinking, "I love this food", or " I must eat this food", or "this is so delicious its like an orgasm", realize that the food is activating the hypothalamus to release endorphins and you are reacting to that. this is basically how all animals select food at an instinctive level.

Ok Ok I knew everyone would start correcting- There are way more commercials for unhealthy food than eggs and strawberries.

true. there are a lot more commercials for unhealthy foods than good foods that are low calorie foods.

its a good idea and i would have to modify it by saying "dont eat anything you see a commercial for more than 1X per hour"... that cuts out all fast foods and pretty much just leaves the healthy stuff

That's true but it still doesn't make your original statement true.
Plus I'm not a "never" type person. Eat it infrequently, yes. Never, no. Unless I don't like it.

HOW TRUE!!!!

Couldn't be less true.
Eggs, cheese, fruit, milk, beef, pork, fish, olives, pickles, the list is endless, so a useless platitude.
Facebook is all about commercials so don't use facebook.

that was a facebook statement, not her statement. she was asking how true it was. :happy:

I supposed I used the wrong phrasing there. The original post instead of statement then.
Although the way I read it, she was stating it was true, not questioning it. (I'm not being an *** that is genuinely how I read it. )

ok

I guess thats no more Spongebob for me =/.

Yeah! Leave some Spongebob for the rest of us.

But you just made a claim the statement was a Universal truth. You should have qualified the statement, including the exceptions. The statement, logically, is NOT true, however, if you throw in your exception, it becomes MORE true. It isn't that people are attacking you, they are pointing out the flaws in the claim the statement is TRUE, not usually true. /end logic lesson.
