Be honest: That bacon, egg and cheese breakfast you scarfed down the other day was so delicious you’d love to have it for breakfast every morning. But like so many other health-conscious, weight-watching Americans, you just won’t allow yourself that indulgence. Instead, you opt for the usual low-fat, low-calorie and (oh-so-bland) oatmeal.

I had a dozen lightly fried shrimp two eggs over easy and toast along with a tall glass of chocolate milk for breakfast.......yum!
Exactly right, and that doesn’t take into account accidents and other manners of death.
I just prepared and fed my 94 y/o mother an Oscar Mayer bologna, bacon, and tomato sandwich for dinner. I hope it doesn’t kill her.
Then I turned 54, career changed to driving a truck and EVERYthing's gone wrong and continueing to deteriorate.
I should'a stayed rebellious
Give me that food at 94 and I’ll die happy!
Live your life the way you want so long as it doesn’t interfere with others. I hate the nannification that government tries to impose. And I’m having a double large egg omelet with sausage and pancakes and bacon for b’fast tomorrow morning. But that’s it for the day. LOL
Eat normal proportions of healthy food and get exercise and you'll be much more fit. Learn about nutrition and try to get to the gym everyday.
bttt
I prefer cheddar cheese in grits.
Oatmeal is good stuff.
Good for you! Life is far too short, regardless of how much lettuce we eat. :)
Au contraire. The left will just send a Diana Moon Glampers to "take care of" those with slowly unraveling telemers.
You’re a rebel :)
Lettuce is for hamburgers. That’s it. Or hoagies.
Yes, it is, and you can mix almost anything with it. Try a little sriracha some time.
Those preservatives may be preserving you.
And I’m reading that the studies linking nitrates with cancer have been discredited.
The food pyramid was around long before the Reagan Administration. I remember it from grade school, so I probably saw it in the late 60s thru mid 70s.
This may be a satisfying answer to you but is not helpful or accurate. The whole point of the article is that we have been misled in our definition of healthy foods because of an inaccurate food pyramid promoted by the government without any real research. It has taken decades for scientists to examine the food pyramid critically and realize that it is making people obese and promoting type 2 diabetes and that avoiding fat is further compromising people’s health.
Inner strength sound good and so does self discipline but calorie counting, portion control and exercise does not yield results for many people. Talking about going to the gym every day may make a person feel self righteous but many people are caregivers,or working two jobs to make ends meet and don’t have that time or funding. Its just an easy thing to say that puts the blame on an individual with genetics that makes them especially sensitive to carbohydrates or some additional factor that we have not uncovered yet. There is good information in this article that, if more widely dispersed, could do a lot to improve the lives and health of many people in a way that eat healthy foods, in “normal proportions” and go to the gym will not.
Thought you’d be interested. People are soooo desperate to believe that bacon is a health food and cholesterol should be a beverage. You have to laugh.
