What is “junk food”? Essentially any food that is highly processed, high in calories and low in nutrients.


People require calories. They require fat. They require sugar. They require salt. It is all nutritious.

The problem is how much you take in vs how much you burn up.

If that sage advice worked we wouldn’t have a health crisis.

It’s a bit more complicated than that, but very simple when people admit that there’s a problem.

Yup.

The "cold equations" of dieting.

It is a lot easier to cut down on portion size than to start running marathons.

Counting calories works, but that means avoiding foods when you don't know the calorie count.

“The problem is how much you take in vs how much you burn up.”

That’s a very interesting statement, and also very true.

Maybe our society is trying to take individual responsibility from our nation’s fat slobs and blaming fast food outfits for the problem.

It’s a little on the order of blaming murders on gun manufacturers while coddling the psycho’s that do the murdering.

People who eat “health food”(unbleached whole grains, low fat foods, yogurt with a dairy base, green vegetable high in lectins, and fruit (fructose end up with Ulcerative Colitis. The antidote: eat junk food: bleached white flour sourdough bread, avoid dairy and lactose, avoid fruit, avoid green vegetables with high lectins that destroy your gut lining.
