The food is making us fat in the USA

[EyeBRollin]

FDA allows ingredients that cause health issues that aren't allowed in other countries. Absurd the same product has double the ingredients in the US version than the EU version.

Yes but that is not why people here are fat asses.

I tend to stick to a mix of keto and Dr. Grundy's ideal of foods. I also make my own keto breadsticks (no bread) and beef jerky to take to work with me.

Yeh I agree. Americans live sedentary lifestyles but the food is a big part of the obesity problem. People in other countries smoke and dont workout. They are still smaller than Americans.

Okay I may have to try this. What brand of beef jerky do you use?

The simplest explanation is Americans drink and eat too much sugar and fat.

Brother I disagree. The food is poisoned to make you fat. The food in the USA has different ingredients than the rest of the world.

How many calories are in this poison?
What is this poisons' name?
If it has no calories, how do you propose it affects the consumer's metabolism such that the consumer gets fat?

I'm asking you these questions but because I want an answer, but because your argument is based on a boogeyman theory. This 'boogeyman', in reality, is condensed carbs, oversized portions, and excess fat intake.
Look at the diet of the average American and compare it to the average diet of healthier countries; what's the difference?

 

[Money & Muscle]

That's not true. If you look at the exact same products created for the US and the EU, the US version has double the ingredients than the EU version because the FDA allows a bunch of junk fillers and food additives designed to improve the look and taste of the product that the EU doesn't allow. Those extra additives come at a cost to your waistline and health.

How many calories do these fillers have and do they have to be reported on the nutrition label?

A friend just started delivering for door dash. He said most of his deliveries are fast food like taco bell, delivered into the housing projects of neighboring small towns. So the poorest people buy the sh1ttiest food and pay the most for it.

Not sure. The bigger issue is the inflammation and other incendiary effects they cause in the body over time

I make my own. Happy to post the recipes. I use 2 lbs of grass fed beef and a dehydrator. The GF is also hooked.

It's certainly not helping

Inflammation is an issue, but not more than Americans eat and drink a shvt ton of empty calories.

I’m now in my 40’s and about 15% bodyfat. I was 37 in my avatar. I can lose fat at will and maintain my weight because I exercise six days per week with weights and cardio.

My diet consists of eggs, various meats, rice, potatoes, fish, yogurt, cottage cheese, bread, pasta, avocados, and nuts. Only chicken breast and whole chickens in my diets are organic.

What fatness-inducing poisons are in the above mentioned? How am I maintaining my weight with such poisoned foods?

What makes chicken organic?

That's funny. I don't know about Australia, but friends who have been to the UK have told me the pizza there is awful. Pizza can be anything you put on it. I like to doctor up a frozen pizza with a roasted red bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, garlic and vegetables from the garden like zucchini. It's mostly a pile of vegetables and a different world from the corporate crap available for delivery.

Hi BibleBelt,
Our Guys must cook them in rancid whale blubber....picked up on your growing Zuchinis...So do I,Black Jack for preference,reccommend you let a couple grow to the length of your favourite Baking Pan then making a long horizontal cut,leave a little canoe,I scoop out the seeds and pulp and generally fill with Pre-prepared diced Lamb Steak,Kidney,and red onions...Add Canned Fava Beans,Tomatoes and Vegetables...You can either throw away the top cut away Finishing your little Boatload by Grilling Grated Cheese and Bread Crumbs on top or Docter it,so as to make a lid sealing the flavours in.

The poisons name is high fructose corn syrup. The other poisons name is seed oil. There are other "boogeymen" in our foods too.

I will be honest and agree with you that they do eat healthier in other countries but thats not the main reason that they are thin. They dont eat that much cleaner than Americans. They are not very health conscious in Europe. They smoke a lot. Europeans also drink a ton and dont go to the gym that much. The main factor is the nutrional value of their foods. Even the processed foods are more healthy in other parts of the world.

Okay so I ate a ton of baklava on this trip. I mean a pounds of the stuff and I still lost about 3lbs on this trip. As you probably know baklava is just straight sugar. Even the treats are healthier in other nations.

It is most likely multifactorial. You are right in blaming the Americans for poor health decisions. I am also right in saying our food is more poisonous than the rest of the worlds food. These positions are not mutually exclusive.

Oh btw I have a condition called Hidrinatis Supprativa. Its an autoimmune condition that is caused by food. It did not flare up once in the foreign country. I come to the US and then it flares up again.

“Seed oil” is not a poison. We should follow the science on these things.. not social media hustlers.

 

[FlexpertHamilton]

“Seed oil” is not a poison. We should follow the science on these things.. not social media hustlers.

I've never heard any social media hustlers talk about seed oils. I've heard many MD's talk about it including Dr Chris Knobbe, Dr Paul Saladino, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Layne Norton. It's pretty self evidently toxic. Olive oil is just squeezed from olives, bam, good to go. Animal fats, same thing. Canola oil has a multi step extraction process in a literal refinery. They heat it to hundreds of degrees (increasing oxidation), bleach it, chemical wash it, tons of other nonsense. How could anything be healthy if it takes so much processing to even be rendered edible? And it's not like there aren't studies showing it's inflammatory effects.

Take a look at this. Vegetable oils were originally created to be used in machinery and no one ever thought they were fit for human consumption until the lobbying took place.
