Fast Food Weakness

[Kanegrundar]

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun" just took on a whole new meaning.

Thanks for ruining lunch for me!

*blank stare* Wow.

Because, you silly, pumpkin toting is the most important thing in the universe (not to be confused with The Universe).

*chuckles* My Halloween avatar is Piglet toting a pumpkin. That's... kinda dirty.

Leave it to you to turn sweet, innocent little Piglet into something dirty...

I suppose that YOU want me to be responsible for YOUR filthy mind too now, huh?

Nope - I'm well aware that my dirty mind is entirely my fault. However, I will say that you boys certainly seem to make it dirtier.

Hey - so - back on topic!

Has anyone tried the new Papa John's pan pizza? It looks mighty delicious. I *heart* pizza.

Crisis proportions? Is that the next stage up from "super sized" proportions?

Seriously though; dramatic much? The problem isn't that fast food is available, the problem is that people in general don't have very healthy habits. That's not MacDonald's fault, that's their own damn fault. Despite the fact that I and my family very much like some fast food, especially Taco Bell (and Arby's), we're not very overweight. Actually, I'm the only one who's overweight at all, and only by 20-25 lbs. or so. My wife is about 125 lbs at 5'4", which is pretty thin, and all of our kids are thin. Heck, two of my boys look emaciated more often than not, despite the fact that they eat plenty.

True, we've got good genetics on our side in terms of weight, but at my age, that only helps a little bit. Healthy lifestyle is what matters. Blaming the fast food industry is irresponsible and frankly kinda insulting. Go see what Dr. Phil tells anyone who's overweight for my succinct view on the question.

There's a lot to be said for genetics and having an active lifestyle. My grandfather is 92 years old. He begins every day with bacon, eggs, buttered toast with jam, and a cup of coffee. He also eats fast food a couple of times per week. But he also exercises and still works in his own garden.

At his latest doctor's appointment, he was told that he was healthier than most guys 20 years younger than himself and that he would probably live to be at least 100 years old.

I also agree wholeheartedly that blaming the fast food industry for obesity is downright stupid. It's similar to people who sue cigarette companies because *gasp* they got lung cancer after smoking for several years. It's hard for me to feel sympathy for people who develop health problems resulting from overindulgence in behavior that they knew was bad for them but did anyway.

Anyways, that's just my thoughts. I won't derail the thread anymore.

Back on topic, OK.

So a pizza with meat and cheeseburgers are great for balanced meals.

Pizza: crust = bread, sauce and possible toppings = fruit and vegetables, cheese = dairy, and meat = meat.

Cheeseburger: bun = bread, cheese = dairy, beef = meat, toppings (pickles) = vegetables.

I eat very healthy.

So if my meals are balanced among the food groups, does that make them true neutral?

Only if you eat them RAW.

Luckily, work paid for it. It was disgusting. I led to an all day upset stomache and I only had peperoni and cheese....

with a side of warm pumpkin pie extra cinnamon and vanilla ice cream....

It's all Rel's fault.

Speaking of Rel, if he wants to participate in the Worldwide D&D Gameday at AFNG, then he needs to sign up. I am working on the next DMs dinner, which will probably be early December.
