That Dang Processed Food! DEVIL!!!!!

But sometimes, I just want some dang chips. From a mylar bag. And NOT kale. Never kale:laugh:

I did chemistry, and now I'm on my way to be a food science engineer - aka. an evil mastermind in training, apparently... Since I know what the label says, does that mean it' healthier for me then? Or, what if I make those ingredients, cook myself a nice batch of dorritos in our test-lab, does that then mean it's a home cooked meal and therefor of course healthier?

:huh: :laugh:

well cook me up some and I will consider it home made :bigsmile:

So is judgement home made or highly processed?

did we agree on a burning calories or consuming calories?


I'm really confused now on how I should log my judgements .

You want those chemicals Glenn Coco? You go Glenn Coco.

But for those who are more active, I guess if you want to use low nutrient foods to stimulate the pleasure centers in your brain, go for it.

I really actually quiet impressed with the amount of judgeiness you managed to squeeze into this one last highly passive aggressive sentence. that I'm sure took some work!!

I'm pretty sure it's more work to think rationally than it is to pass judgement on people for eating some chips.

I'm not judging anyone. When PMS hits this month I may very well do the same thing with some dark chocolate. Calling it what it is isn't judging. That is what we do when we choose palatable foods with little or no nutritional value. It's fine, we do other things for that, too. Like drink coffee. I'm about to finish off my third cup right now.

You may want to reread your statement and clarify how that's not coming off as judging and condescending. :flowerforyou:

Okay, but everything I do is for pleasure. I like think acknowledging that makes me harder to manipulate into giving up something more pleasurable for something less so.

Even going vegan was for the pleasure of not feeling guilt for what is on my plate. And having a weight loss goal under that which is strictly needed for my health is for both the pleasure of looking how I want to look and the pleasure of trying to succeed at a difficult goal I have set for myself.

And if I ever calculate that either is less than the pleasure of those chips, you better believe I will eat the chips.

Uh, are you sure you know what kale is? Parsnip is a root vegetable, kale is a leafy green.

yes- yes I do.
Parsley- I meant parsley. LOL

Green things- taste like *kitten*- used as a garnish. Kale- it tastes like that. it's a leafy gross is what it is.

You realize you're posting this directly above your criticism of someone for being judgemental, right.

I'm sorry you don't enjoy very basic foods that are a healthy part of an adult diet. Parsley is used in a ton of things to help season it, not just as a garnish.

Eat all the GMO soy and commercially produced chemicals that you want. At a calorie deficit you will still lose weight. However, if you actually want to get healthy, maybe you should learn more about the additives you're putting into your body instead of blindly blaming "fear mongers" and "health nuts" for falsely demonizing these "foods". Your choice.

ETA: I also eat junk sometimes... but I still do know better. Darn hormonal cravings...

I'm all about eating whatever you want, when you want, how you want, with who you want, with what you want......... ok you get my drift.

But I am critical of the naysayers- OMG DON'T EAT THAT ITS PROCESSED WTF ARE YOU DOING YOU'LL DIE. Or WORSE! YOU WON'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT!!!!


Below are two bags of chips. On the left, kettle cooked potato chips. Those ingredients look pretty good to me! And delicious as well. I love me some natural kettle cooked potato chips. The bag on the left are Doritos. I hate Doritos and you can plainly see there's a lot of ingredients on there that I can't pronounce.... so they could or they could not be good for you. How would I know? I can't even pronounce them to try to copy them into my phone to look them up later when I'm at home instead of the chip aisle of the grocery store looking like a moron.



My point to all the "clean eaters" (YEA GO YOU!) is what's wrong with the chips on the left? The oil? The salt? THE YUMMINESS!???? I think anything in moderation is fine. Even chemically enhanced Doritos. You want those chemicals Glenn Coco? You go Glenn Coco.
