Honey Boo Boo's sister tackles 4 pound sandwich

People may cringe at parts of that show. I do it plenty. But note that the only things people seem to find to cringe at are parts of that show. Nobody's pulled a Lindsey Lohan, and from what I've heard the mom is having TLC put the show money straight into a set of college funds.

Off camera, I suspect that bunch is smart as hell.

I highly doubt these people can spell 529 Plan, much less have known what one was on their own. Now a financial planner would. Having one does not make a person intelligent.

Also, these girls are still young so can't be sure on that Lohan path yet.

Why? Because they have a southern drawl and enjoy activities that you don't? I'll bet there are a lot of things YOU can't spell, but no one is questioning YOUR intelligence. SMH

I don't know if the link will work; if not, search for the image or cut and paste.

If anyone here needs the inspiration to stick to their goals, this should do the trick. This should be on everyone's fridge.

Read the section in my profile titled "My inspiration".

I tried getting to the "My Inspiration" part but your ridiculous obnoxious self-righteousness was my inspiration to move on.

My thoughts exactly!!

Funny, I don't recall mentioning their southern accents and I'd be an idiot to do so being that I am from the South. You are correct in that no one questions my intelligence. My career at one of the top investment management firms in the world makes it kind of pointless. Which is how I know that your average person (especially these people) knows very little about wealth management. Oh, and I present as a educated, classy, respectful lady instead of farting and burping in the presence of others or mispronunciation of my words.

Any other personal attacks?

I know people love to attack this family, and shame them, but if you've ever been poor then you know their life isn't ALL that crazy.

Outside of that, why is this a really big deal? Does she eat that every day? No. While their family does seem to have the typical American weight problem they have shown on their show that they are at least trying to lose weight. Just because I'm trying to lose weight doesn't mean I CAN'T try a food challange if one ever seemed worth it to me.

Let's not try to give them excuses for their weight issues. Poverty is NOT an excuse to eat poorly and heavily. As for their current situation, they certainly are NOT poor, and are probably pulling down more money than those of us who don't make it a regular habit to go on TV, showcase our unhealthy lifestyle, and make fools of ourselves in the process.

I saw an interview where the mom (June) said they pull down a LOT more than the reported $4,000 per episode, and for that kind of money, they'll act as they need to for the show to be popular and laugh all the way to the bank.

That sandwich is huge although I think Man vs Food and some episodes of Dives, Diners, and Drive-ins have shown some bigger food items.
I don't watch the show but someone told me about the sketti recipe. Just hearing the "recipe" made me feel sick.

CrazyTrackLady, I love your profile.

I think they are popular because everyone else can feel superior to them.

Having actually watched the entire show one of the main things that I liked is that you can see how much the family enjoy each other's company and how Mama June encourages her kids.

They come across as underwashed and undereducated but nevertheless a happy enough little family that really appear to enjoy each other's company.

Mama June has said that the money they make from this is going towards a college fund for her kids.

100x better than the usual vacuous fame *kitten* reality tv spews out.

Just because I'm trying to lose weight doesn't mean I CAN'T try a food challange if one ever seemed worth it to me.

I have never seen the show, but from the clips and promos that I see it doesn't look like they are trying to lose weight. Eating a 4 pound sandwich called pigzilla in under 45 min doesn't appear that they are trying. Also they may have started out poor, but they are no longer poor. So that can't be an excuse for their behavior.

Rumor has it they continue to eat like that because it adds to the show. If they suddenly get inspired to lose weight and start exercising, they would no longer be that "funny, fat, redneck family" for everyone to love.

I sense an overall dumbing down of America. The TV shows being made today are what the majority of the people wish to see -- because it's escapism for some. I admit I watch a couple shows with bad behavior in them, not because I want to 'be" like the folks in the show, but because I can say with conviction: "I am NOT these kind of people, thank God!"

I find it pretty incredible a bunch of people on a calorie counting website are looking down their noses at people who haven't reformed their eating habits. Was that not you a few weeks/months/years ago? Maybe they just haven't yet had the "aha" moment that you all had at some point before joining this website. Just because they're making a lot of money on a reality show doesn't mean they know how to eat healthy. Also, momma June has actually lost 100lbs.

Erugh, that's the grimmest family ive ever seen.

I don't know if anyone has said this ... I don't really feel like reading through the whole thread ... but seriously, how is this Honey Boo Boo girl doing beauty pageants (please, don't make me state the obvious)? I personally don't condone the whole glitz kid pageant thing (I think it's demoralizing, talent competions at least have some merit and showcase an actual skill, being pretty isn't a skill, it's a genetic luck of the draw), but really, she's not a very visually appealing child, nor is she poised by any stretch of the imagination ...

EDIT FOR TYPO

Close... it was trust funds with stipulations on any use prior to turning 21. Many intelligent people who don't personally have a background in accounting and financial planning use the services of professionals who do.

Oh, and two of the kids are over sixteen and technically old enough to drive to parties so they could've had a Lohan on their hands. I know people at work who watch this show all the time because it's outrageous to them but without any sign of anyone becoming a train wreck. Now go find me something even vaguely along the lines of a falling out with friends/relatives because they do this show.

Funny, I don't recall stating definitively that they had a 529 Plan, so your need to google a stupid little ABC article was a waste. Miss the snark of me specifically using a plan with numbers as an example? Guess it went over your head along with the fact that I never said only unintelligent people have wealth managers. I'm well aware of the types of people who have financial advisors since I manage private wealth portfolios. Trust me, people like them are not walking through our doors.

As far as finding something along the lines of friendship issues, sorry but my brain cells are too precious to watch that trashbox of a show. However, more power to you.

I get your point. I work in finance as well. I've worked for a bigger bank. Now I work for a law firm going after banks.(The good guys). I say that to say this. I've never used that as any kind of merit or gauge of my intellect. You come off as cocky and condescending. Try and change your approach. WHo cares if you run a billion dollar hedge fund on here?

No one cares, but you decided to comment? Okay. Am I confident in myself? Absolutely. Cocky? That is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Was I condescending? Absolutely and that was the intent of my reply. Great that you don't use your career as a barometer of your intelligence (and that you now work for the good guys), though I'm sure when you tell people what you do they are impressed and assume you're an intelligent person. When someone attempts to school me on a topic that involves something I do on a daily basis, I'm going to let them know they're wrong and do it in my own way. *kanye shrug*

That aside, I still think the family is trashy and proves the overall dumbing down of this country.

By the way, I'm flattered that you think that at just 27 years old I actually run a billion dollar hedge fund..........

WTF how is this supposed to 'inspire' me to stick to my goals?

What is the logic here? I do not understand
