Y2HH Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Damn, I'm out of time...and Reddy is one of the people I really like having arguments with. I have to go to BW3's shortly and eat a bunch of chicken wings. Poor chickens. Oh well, I'll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually 3 of them very close to me. I'm going to the Willowbrook location. This simply highlights my point about education sometimes not mattering. I know BW3's is bad for me...but I'm choosing to go anyway. Wings+Beer=Living. I'm ok with that once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 07:46 PM) Only it doesn't. Let's just play your game, because it'll be easy to destroy you. 1 big mac meal...let's say medium sized, with tax 5$. For 5$, at any local store, you can buy an entire head of cauliflower for ~99cents. 5 limes for ~50 cents. And have 3.50 left over. I'd quote you more prices, but I haven't been to the store in a few days...but I guarantee I can buy a bunch more. And comparing calorie count is a s*** argument, since vegetables, by their nature, have less calories than fatty meat. Right! So you need MORE of them to give you the same amount of energy as a $5 burger! Thus why it is more expensive to eat healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 07:45 PM) You, of all people, should know we need to take lifestyle into this equation as well. Why do you suppose hispanics have such a high life expectancy? One guess of mine, anyways, would be that they probably work in jobs that require more labor. Instead of sitting on their asses in offices all day, they are on their feet doing things, lifting things, burning more calories and fat, raising their heart rates, using their muscles, etc. I could be wrong, but that would be a guess. Historically, humans have had much more active lifestyles because they had to. If you burn 3000-5000 calories a day, guess what? You can eat a lot more meat and fat and get away with it than a person who sits in an office all day. Now when you get into the modern diets built on processed foods, this starts to become problematic regardless of your activity levels, but it still certainly helps if your job requires you to live a more active lifestyle. I agree with this as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to eat "vegan/vegetarian" a few days a week...I actually do this (vegan if possible, but if it's too complex and there is cheese or something involved, I don't say no)...and on those days, I feel so hungry all day long it's not even funny.

I know mexican food to the point you wouldn't understand. Still bad for you. Edited January 12, 2013 by Y2HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be some type of fat tax. If fat people use Obama care they should pay a lot more in taxes. Smokers are taxed, fat people need to be taxed. I also think insurance companies should start charging higher premiums for fat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk into a public school where the kids are given a government breakfast. The government only requires calories. None of it is really healthy.
