If you order their seasoning you will not regret it. Smother both sides of a ribeye with it and prepare to be amazed when it comes off the grill.
“Mothers stopped homemaking and got careers = fat people.”
You know, this has occured to me before. But not until now have I realized that this is a pretty good explanation for why poorer kids are fatter than the well-off. I chalked it up to poor people making worse choices in general. But it stands to reason that children of lower-middle class to lower-class young single mothers would be fatter than children with two mature parents, possibly with hired help.
Rotten SOB's (Sugar Obsessed Bistroistas) held me down just last Saturday, and rammed greasy spoonful after greasy spoonful down my throat.
I fought; I screamed; I puked, but it was to no avail...they just gave a cackling Peter Lorie laugh, and shoveled it all back in.
Then, with me still chained to the table, and the speculum still forcing my helpless mouth open, they brought the dessert cart around, accompanied by a 5 gallon tank of beer flavored triple strength high fructose corn syrup, and a mini pump, and proceeded to wash down my meal, while the maniacal laughter continued.
It wasn't MY fault; it was THEIR fault that I gained 6.3 pounds from that single meal!
I hear you. Cheers...
You knew every healthy bite that they ate.
In the day, kids didn’t even open the frig because money was tight and mom had meal plans for everything in the frig.
Nope, people will eat what their bodies are designed to seek out.
That is sweet, fat and salt. The building blocks of health.
These are things that are scarce in nature and so our programing is to seek out those flavors, associate them with "good" and eat as much of them as we can get our hands on.
Problem is that to get the sweet you used to have to hunt for weeks to find a honey tree and then fight with the bees to get some. To get the salt walk to the ocean and find a place where sea water evaporated. To get the fat chase down and kill a lot of animals or climb a lot of trees for nuts.
Now days you just walk to the refrigerator.
These things are not bad for you. They are needful. But since nature is no longer limiting you then you need to limit yourself. Since nature can no longer threaten you with, "Move or Die!" you need to decide yourself to get up and move.

“If it’s really creamy and/or covered in cheese it is probably fattening.”
Looks like you’ve never heard of Atkins. Some people need the higher protein and fat, some people need to stay away from it.
There is not ‘one right diet’ for all of mankind. There are different diets required, especially between certain populations of people around the world.
You are right that I am not familiar with Atkins, I was simply mentioning things that have lots of fat (meaning, will generally add fat to your body). I am not purporting to be an expert, lol. If an obese person can become non-obese eating fried chicken, ranch dressing, mounds of cheese, more power to him/her but I doubt that applies to most people. On the same token, I doubt most people would gain weight by eating unadulterated vegetables, lean meats, and grains.
Move More, Eat Less, problem solved.
“On the same token, I doubt most people would gain weight by eating unadulterated vegetables, lean meats, and grains.”
Generally true, especially the ‘unadulterated’ part, but some people need more meat, and much less grains.
I have neuropathy, I couldn’t walk 6 miles on a bet!
I went to Burger King a couple of weeks ago looking for breakfast - I felt like I was starving! Well, big surprise....I noticed the calories next to the photos of each item. OMG - I wouldn’t have been able to eat the rest of the day. I ended up getting coffee.
It made a big difference - to me anyway- to see those calories listed.
Then I do my other eye lid.
Well, here’s the Atkins Paradigm. It’s the carbs that make you fat. Burn off the carbs or eat fewer carbs. Fat is good, because it’s satisfying, you don’t get hungry as often if you don’t eat too many carbs.
I blame processed foods and chemical additives. MSG gets into foods under all sorts of different names. (I read somewhere that MSG turns off the area of the brain that signals when you’re full.)
My skinny maternal grandfather smoked from a very young age and his favorite snack food was pickled pig fat. He lived to 100 1/2.
We used to have a short recess, morning and/or afternoon. And we played outside after lunch, except when it rained. In the winter we played in the piles of snow next to the plowed parking lot.
I think school children would be better able to pay attention in class, if they got more recess.
I’m afraid to respond to that.
Unfortunately, if you eat the fat in Atkins but the carbs we are surrounded with as well, you WILL get fatter! My husband cannot do a low carb diet because he doesn’t avoid the carbs!
And that’s the problem with Atkins (which I think is a very good diet, I’ve lost lots of weight with it in the past and had the BEST cholesterol numbers, etc). It is a very strict diet from the standpoint of you cannot cheat. And for most people it gets boring.
LOL I didn’t see the small print! You’re too funny graybeard!
