A bacon sundae?? REALLY??

who cares, you will buy it or you wont, you will say its gross or you will say its great, for every pro there a con

If everyone had this same attitude, MFP forums would be very boring.

(Instead, MFP forums are just very stupid...and I'm not entirely sure which is better right now...)

Breakfast today for me was a very healthy protien shake with banana and peanut butter power and then just because I felt like it two slices of crispy well drained bacon. Added an extra 80 calories but I wasn't hungry again until 2:00 and I really enjoyed my breakfast. Honestly, I don't need to be told what to eat or not eat, as a grown up I would like to make those choices for myself.

I think that adding a bunch of grease to such an already bad dessert is just sick. Would you like your heart attack on a cone??? I mean ice cream itself isnt that great for you obviously but it does have plent of dairy in fact mostly dairy than anything else, but whats bacon? not much protein to it mainly grease i mean its okay to indulge once in awhile in a not so healthy treat but to add a bunch of grease to it well thats just purely irresponsible. Pick one or the other as ur treat sugar or grease not a mixture of both disgusting. As far as whose fault its societys in general. It costs me 4-5 dollars to make a homemade chicken salad yet go to mcdonalds and get a double cheeseburger and fries for 2 dollars. its costly to eat right i wont lie but i think its because everyone or mostly everyone does want to eat healthy so grocery stores rake up there prices basically if ur poor/low income go to dollar menu its ridiculous!

I think it's hard to claim that someone wouldn't know that eating a bacon sundae is bad for them. I don't grab ice cream and think "Oh great! This is a fantastic meal for me!".

I think there is more than enough information and opportunity out there for people to know that fattening food (ie bacon) is bad for them, and they may choose to what what they wish with that. Remember when Michelle Obama pushed for healthier lunch foods in schools? And when she worked with Walmart to make healthier food cheaper and more readily available? People reacted by blowing a head gasket and saying "HOW DARE SHE FORCE US TO FEED OUR KIDS HEALTHY FOODS! HOW DARE SHE TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T EAT! IF I WANTS MY BACON I'LL EATS IT!"

I'm paraphrasing (kind of) but the general gist is - people don't eat unhealthy food because they don't realize it's bad for them. They eat it because they know and just don't care.

Children don't always know, though, so what the schools serve I think is a slightly different category.

Speaking of bacon (and to clear my head from some of the absolutely nonsense that was very recently posted): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/632497-rsboi

We don't need more nannies, we need to teach children accountability. No more of this public school "you are perfect the way you are" bull or "everyone is a winner". We need to teach them everything has consequences and that goes for exercise vs laziness or eating well vs stuffing yourself. Just watch the news: Nut jobs out there protesting because they took out student loans and now the bank has the nerve to ask them to pay it back. The hippies ruined an entire generation of children. We need to fix that and the choices the fast food companies offer will reflect the change in taste in the society as a whole. Companies only offer things like that because there is a market. Fix the market and the companies will follow suit or go under.
