Whenever I'm in the grocery store I notice that someone is behind me buying a weeks worth of the most sickeningly disgusting crap, and I'm wondering if any of you buy the same stuff. Here's a run-down of what not to eat.

White Bread. Who the hell can stomach this sugar and plastic concoction known as "White Bread"? From what I understand it's very popular with the poor and uneducated. Congratulations, you are eating filler!

Hungry Man Dinners (now in huge size). I often see people with about 7 or 8 of these in a cart. These are handy if you want a weeks worth of Fat in one sitting.

Soda/Cola/Pop. Four 2 liter bottles please. I need enough sugar to ensure my future diabetes.

Canned Vegetables. Yummm they are tin-licious. Sure I could buy green beans from the produce isle, but why go through all that hassle when I can have this can that has been pasteurized and now contains absolutely no nutrients.

Iceberg Lettuce. Water suspended in some sort of plant. It's almost a green vegetable, but not quite. People think this is healthy

Steak 'Ems/Kraft Mac N Cheese. You might as well get a tattoo that says "I'm gonna get rickets"


What are completely missing are any fresh fish, real vegetables, fresh fruit, and whole grain breads. The most common theme is Sugar...tons of it.

Now I eat plenty of crap, but I feel like crap when I do. I can't imagine eating 5 Hungry Man Dinners in a week.

The one thing that I eat that is on your list. Whole wheat bread (well the brands I have tried) taste like shit and therefore their nutritional value is null and void.

 

[MIMIC]

Hungry Man dinners? Check.

Pop? Check.

Iceberg Lettuce? o_0 Never heard of it.

 

[belgurdo]

Thanks for sharing. *walks away*

 

[BlackMage]

mind your own god damn business.

 

[tedtropy]

I actually prefer the taste of wheat bread over plain white. Plain white bread tastes like absolute crap to me.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

what is iceberg lettuce?

stop ragging on lettuce. It's not UN-healthy

 

[atomsk]

it's all about Homestyle Bakes

i dont know how anyone can eat frozen dinners...

Right now I'm chowing down on a hot bowl of chunky chili with two slices of white bread and a Coke. Crap? Maybe.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

I can never find whole grain bread at my local grocery store. I'll see whole wheat, multi-grain, five-grain, six grain, whatever. But NEVER "whole grain." I've eaten whole-grain bread once and I wasn't too thrilled about it, either.

 

[gohepcat]

whole wheat, multi-grain, five-grain, six grain, whatever.

I would classify all of those as healthy

Brown bread 4 life

In defense of canned foods, just try taking fresh vegetables on a camping trip or any other outdoor activity where you'll be away from civilization and cold storage for any period of time.

Hurrah! I hate Iceberg! ><

What about romaine, though?

romaine is great. Just don't ruin a good sandwhich by putting lettuce on it.

Dude, my mom died when I was five. Dead people don't have herpes.

And you're fat :lol :lol :lol

It's no wonder highschool freshmen these days are growing full beards with the amount of hormones and other crap in todays foods. I'm just lucky that I grew up with a health nut mom who buys just about everything organic-- and now has me doing it.

I can't stand what I see people buy either-- last time I was at the grocery store I saw a lady stacking her cart with a few 12 packs of black colored mountain dew, gah. But hey, it's their lives.

Regarding Hungry-Man products, check this article out:

The first two sentences:

Careful. It's poison.

And if you're single and can't be bothered to eat a whole bag of carrots in one sitting, frozen vegetables are a whole lot better than rotting vegetable matter at the bottom of your fridge - can't say much about canned, I'm not a fan.

I dislike putting any sort of vegetables on my sandwiches, so I don't think I'll have a problem there. My sandwiches usually consist of some kind of grained bread (usually whole wheat or 7-grain), Smart Beat mayo (no fat and some other junk, doesn't taste that great, but the other stuff usually cancels it out), mustard, thin-sliced lean ham or turkey, and a slice of provolone.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

haha bad food makes them crabby!

Dead people don't have herpes.

they do when i give it to them, and how dare your make fun of my weight? bridget jones has shown me how to live my life, your hurtful words are lost in my fat rolls

Who the fuck makes fun of fat people, really...who gives a fuck.

That sounds like a good sandwhich. What kind of mustard?

I like you. You're like a fat version of TBS with a little less narcissism.

 

[Chipopo]

Most people don't realize how nutrition-free iceberg lettuce is. It IS basically crisp green water. My friends eat iceberg lettuce salads slathered with dressing and think they're doing their body a favor.

And those Tubby Man frozen dinners (XXL!) are revolting. 110 grams of fat, a ton of which is saturated. These things are unquestionably funded by heart doctors looking for work.

Well, if the fat person is Star Jones it's your public duty.

Usually yellow mustard, though sometimes honey mustard. Not a huge fan of brown/extra-spicy mustard.

The reason I wrote what I did was because fumbduck wrote "is your life really that empty? whats next rummaging through random strangers garbage?" He hid an ad hominem in the guise of a question. He wasn't wondering about the motivation of the poster to create this topic but rather he was insulting the poster. I, too, went down to that level in my reply to fumbduck.

Damn. First thing we disagree with on making a good sandwhich. I love brown mustard with a hint of horseraddish. I guess we can't be sandwhich buddies :-(

 

[fumbduck]

anyways on the topic of shit your shouldnt eat, just a reminder its 99 cent mcnugget day!!! im gonna eat until i have blood in my feces

 

[gohepcat]

I saw a nutrisionist on TV once saying that white bread isn't actually bread at all. It's some sort of over produced, bleached, hollow food.

Hey, eat whatever you want guys, I'm just really shocked at how much crap people eat. I can't imagine how you feel everyday. Lucky I live near a really great market that has a lot of really great fresh foods so it's much easier for me.

For the love of god. At least take a multivitamin or something.

 

[Pachinko]

White Bread. I only eat white bread usually, I want to taste what I put in my sandwich instead of the bread thanks, brown bread is good toast and if you make a big enough sandwich its fine but for the tiny ham cheese/mustard sandwich I make all I taste is bread if I use wheat bread.

Hungry Man Dinners. Never heard of these, but if its a microwave dinner then bleagh

Soda/Cola/Pop. 2-3 cans of the stuff every day thanks, I'd drink juice but it's to damned expensive and water is flavourless crap.

Canned Vegetables. not to often, I stick with the real stuff

Iceberg Lettuce. Don't eat lettuce much at all

Steak 'Ems/Kraft Mac N Cheese. Kraft dinner is awful stuff, it smells like pee when you cook it too.

I feel fine. Health nuts always talk about how great eating healthy makes them feel so great, but when I did it I felt the same as I do now. No, strike that. I generally felt worse because nothing I ate ever really made me feel full....so there was a constant hunger frequently biting at me.

Maybe this "feeling good" isn't really a physical thing. Maybe the sensation of pleasure is generated by the sickeningly smug and condescending attitude that you get to take towards people who don't obsess over every component in every meal. That's certainly in full effect in this thread.

 

[Monk]

Good god you are an annoying. How dare you go around telling what people should and shouldn't eat, it is their lives and if they want to be obese and die because of all the cholesterol that clogs their arteries then so be it.

Normally I'd agree but the public will probably be paying for their hospital treatment (well atleast in Australia).

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!
Having to pay for other people's medical treatments via increase in health insurance payments due to increase in costs for the insurance companies makes fat people's problems my problems.

 

[demon]

Wheat bread tastes like real food, and many brands taste very good; white bread does not. Wheat bread is also much healthier.

Therefore, wheat bread > white bread. All you naysayers continue to inject yourselves with white shit.

You probably weren't even eating healthy. It's impossible to go from a bad diet to a good diet without feeling better in some way.

And if you can't find any healthy food that is at least somewhat "pleasurable" to eat, then try harder Fatty McFatty.

see, "you people" always reminds me of Ross Perot.

shouldn't generalize like that.

Not to mention having to sit next to disgustingly fat people in movie theaters and airplanes. Christ, they should be forced to pay for two seats.

I was on lean meats, salads, fruits, and Wheat N' Fiber bread for months. It sucked. I didn't "feel good" in any physical sense. Mostly I stressed over the fact that I always felt hungry and I was going to have to fit 60-90 minutes of daily meal preparation into an already overloaded schedule.
