This is a thing?!? I mean, stores will let you return food?
Ugh. I hope that isn't true.
They do, but they throw it away.0 -

Yea, that way if you buy something that turns out to be tainted you get your money back. Or if you accidentally buy a bag of rotten fruit.
Some stores like Trader Joe's and Costco will give you your money back eve if you have opened the package.0 -

I've known people who would return a half eaten piece of fruit, claim it was spoiled and get their money back. Not a bag, just one piece.0 -

Stores do, but at least at the store I work at you need to have a receipt & we do defect food items in case someone tampered with anything.
Not my story:
Another coworker told me once that an older lady returned cotton balls because she said they tasted like they were expired. The poor old lady thought they were Cotton Candy.0 -

Just the thought of putting a cotton ball in your mouth is enormously horrifying to me.0 -

I believe that many people thought the mother should support her daughter and make it clear that she would always be there for her without doing anything to make food an additional source of stress or a way to express control for the daughter, yes.
Like I said, agree to disagree.0 -
Yes. Various flavors have been showing up in recent years, obviously to try and tap into a new demographic. Because true Oreo fans know there is only Double Stuf. The rest are pretenders. BUT...the new flavors I've seen are:
*Strawberry Creme (chocolate cookies, and does not look appealing)
*Mint Creme Oreos (chocolate cookies; these are GOOD!!!)
*Lemon Creme Oreos (yellow cookies; have not tried)
*Golden Oreos (yellow cookies; with a Double Stuf version too; they are "meh")
*Birthday Cake Creme (yellow cookies, with some odd type of creme with colorful specks, no idea what makes them different from the "normal" golden Oreos other than the specks in the creme)
*Chocolate Creme Oreos (both yellow cookies and chocolate cookies; these are GOOD!!!!)
*Cafe Latte Oreos (my favorite, and of course, I never see them around anymore)
I want to say there was a peanut butter creme version, but I could be hallucinating that one.
The Double Stuf is amazing! I don't think I've ever tried the Mega Stuf yet.
My other favorites are:
Peppermint flavor
Cotton Candy (not bad has a distinct Cotton Candy flavor, but can be overwhelming)
White Fudge (so glad these are only a Christmas thing because I could go through a box or two easily)
Didn't care for the Cookie Dough since it had more of a coffee flavor.0 -
I concurr. Lots of people like this in the forums.
"I fit junk food into my calorie limit everyday and lost a million pounds so you should do it to."
I think most of us try to promote an overall healthy diet with lots of veggies, grains, lean meats, & fruits but also try to stress that you can eat a little sweets, a lot of sweets, or no sweets & still lose weight. So many people starting out in this process by counting calories & have a decent amount to lose (100+) seem to think they have to go full force into the process & eliminate all of their favorite foods, eat as few calories as possible, & only eat clean foods. When that happens the majority of people don't learn moderation, don't really change their lifestyle, & usually end up binging from restricting & giving up on the whole process for one bad slip up.
I've never seen anyone on here seriously tell someone to eat nothing but sweets or other junk food & promote it as a healthy diet.0 -
Yeah, no. It's about learning to eat in moderation, and helping people who try to go full on "all healthy food" (which most of the time leads to failure). If people learn over time to eat in moderation, and meet their macros and nutritional needs, they find they can still have the foods they enjoy in smaller portions. Things like cookies aren't 'off the table' forever, weight lost is still achieved, and long-term success is still there. There's no self-righteousness involved, as you seem to think. We're trying to help people be successful over the long haul.
I...don't think you understand the point I was making. But okay. He could technically eat in moderation. Just like anyone should be able to. Did he buy 4 packs of oreos just so he could eat 2-3 every now and then...I don't think so...I'm not saying he should cut junk food out forever and ever and ever just because he has some health issues. Of course, anyone who wants to cut junk food out of their diet should be able to if they wish, no questions asked, whether someone was able to lose 100 pounds eating 15 oreos a day or not.0 -

People love to argue. And to eat Oreos.

Are you sure? I bolded what you said, I don't see where any of what you are saying now (backtracking) fits what you said that I replied to.0 -
Sounds to me like hes not willing to go on a diet. You cannot force someone. Ive tried a few times and it clearly does not work. It gets you upset because you put so much time and effort into prepping your healthy meals for the week and they cheat. Ranch dressing and all the other crap. Just eat healthy yourself and he will notice you are serious and once you start losing weight he might want to start eating better himself. Get healthier for you even if HES not willing too! Good luck.0

I feel like we are having 2 different conversations

I didn't say you did. I just meant it in a way that I've never seen anyone outright tell someone that you should just eat unhealthy foods rather than eat in a balanced way & enjoy some treats.0 -
I remember hating double stuffed Oreos when I was younger because I preferred the cookie to the filling.
I REALLY want to try the cotton candy flavor but didn't see it on my last trip to Target. The red velvet Oreos were kind of a bummer.
As to the OP's posts, I am very sorry your husband is putting you through this. My dad takes a similar approach to his diabetes and it's always painful to watch.0 -

Okay and? I haven't seen it either.
The point of my original post was that some people get all judge-y when other people decide to completely cut out certain foods for the sake of diet. If someone wants to cut out certain foods for the sake of diet, okay no problem, good for you.0 -
I've seen people say the first ("I fit 'junk foods' into my calorie limit"). The second part ("you should do it too") is more questionable.
Where are you seeing people being told they should eat certain foods?0 -

I didn't say anything about people saying that other people should eat certain or specific foods. Some people on here get judgmental when they find out that another person has cut out a certain food they like for the sake of diet as opposed to them just saving, let's say, 200 calories for a damn cookie.0 -

I think you struggle to accurately understand the tone and message of others when they write something that you disagree with.0 -

Diabetes isn't a joke.
When I was pregnant, I had to go for a 2 hour GTT. I had to sit in a diabetes clinic where I saw people with literally rotting off extremities from diabetes. Missing limbs. People who went blind from it. It scared the crap out of me.
That's the road he is going down. I don't know why she should be expected to support him in that endeavor. She will be the one that ultimately has to deal with the consequences of his decision as his eventual caregiver. This isn't like an accident or he got cancer from some cause unknown. This is a full on knowing decision to destroy his body and his health and he expects other people to pick up the slack for him eventually when he can't do it himself. It is entirely stupid and selfish. All for some Oreos...0 -
I can't believe this thread is still going...LOL0

Didn't say I knew. It explicitly says 'I don't think so' .
And I still don't think so.
