We need to break our unhealthy habits, before they break us.
Is it calories, or sugar/cheap carbs?
Calories from non-carb or very low-carb foods shouldn’t be counted in the same “suspect” category, ITGHO.
5 days? So, what are you eating on vacation?
The cat wouldn’t eat her dinner. I put a few small pieces of cat treat in her dish which she pounced on and ate, and then she ate her dinner in a mechanical sort of I-don’t-care-what-I’m-eating manner.
So why are cat treats like kittie crack? I think they identified some chemicals that trigger the ‘eating’ reflex, so that cat always eats the treats, and anything else put before her while the chemical is in her system.
That makes me wonder about some trash foods that sell well. A group of us working on a project took a coffee break. Someone put Oreos on the table, anyone who took one ended up eating more than intended and yet all said they didn’t care for Oreos or the taste was bland, chemical-like etc.
I think junk food makers may add chemicals similar to those for cats, in cat treats. Add something to flavorless processed foods that trigger the eating reflex, but this time trigger it in people.
Not all cats like certain cat treats, not all humans eat too many Oreos. Not a hard and fast rule, but I am suspicious.
Of the additives in foods, I’ve always been told ‘natural flavors’ harbor ingredients we would otherwise reject. What’s in there?
Because they seems to be slapping that label on food when they really mean "high calorie, low nutrition". And they are not the same thing.
