On the real though... I have been telling people around me for a few years that nutrition is absolutely something that should be taught in public schools for more than a day or a week.

Nutrition is one the single most important things someone can learn growing up and yet we treat it as an afterthought. That's a big reason as to why this country is so unhealthy.

It needs to literally be a year long class if not multiple years long class.

The problem, however, is that we as a species are still learning... and aside from that, different people respond to different nutrition differently. It's complicated.

Yeah, you're not wrong.

But the parents should know better by the time they reach adulthood and it should be something they pass on to their kids rather than it basically never being passed on at all because the parents are too lazy and apathetic. I agree with you about the lobbyists.

100% true. My 2 youngest kids never even tasted baby food in jars. Made them at home with actual fruits and veggies. What's crazy is that isn't even a complete solution because of how they grow the food here as well.:(

For some reason big pharma and the NRA get 100x more attention than big sugar. The FDA food pyramid (probably created by big sugar) recommends that we eat loads of carbs. :lol

The average American consumes between 150 to 170 pounds of refined sugars in one year. For some perspective, those giant bags of sugar in the grocery store are 4 lbs each. :eek:

Oh yeah, sorry I posted that without reading the entire article. Yeah man, I agree. Thanks for posting this.

Personally I eat mostly fresh fruits/vegetables/meats/grains and cook at home. It takes a bit more work, but it's actually cheaper (contrary to popular belief).

Agreed with above posters too. This should be taught in schools. Eat less processed foods.

Part of this is because your parent are supposed to teach you those things.

Most parents arent experts on the civil war. However, people who have children should know a thing or two about nutrition and personal finance.

Note I said SHOULD. Of course, many dont.


The other thing is, nutrition is a constantly evolving subject. We were taught by government funded research to eat mostly breads and cereals, the base of the food pyramid. Oops.

On the flip you will never get sick and bed ridden by the parasites/bacterium in our food, or water, or air

Travelers won't ever need to take 'shots' before coming to America, like you do going to Asia/South America

Indeed our food last long and is jacked on roids, we like flavoring as well (salt/butter). But this comes accompanied with the highest grade food and health regulations that no other country competes with.

Few reports of salmonella? FDA quarantines the entire US until source is located

Rats shitting all over international produce? Pulling fish out of rivers that been swimming in toxic levels of mercury? They'll put it uncooked on your plate. Don't happen in US, business get shut down quick.

That's why here you never see rice served often, it's a high risk food

I'll never forget when I visited Mexico when I was a kid and saw poor families eating just beans with corn tortilla for dinner every single day, or dads waking up every morning riding their horse 2 miles and crossing a river just to milk their cows so they can have milk during the day.

the good ole' US is number 1 in oil consumption and roughly takes up 20% of world consumption, while ranks number 10 in reserve and this of course, only takes in the consideration of 'proven oil reserves' without even considering the 'reserves' that are currently sanctioned for commercial use

the reality is when policies are made in the U.S. without it guiding towards the goal of evolution, it is a failure at the attempt of the separation of church and state

so the blinding truth in front of ourselves was, the necessity of Las Vegas in order to keep the so-called government in tact

Thats an issue of what food you choose to buy. The pears picked way before ripe and shipped across the country if not planet arent gonna be as good as the ones a farmer picked in their prime yesterday and sold at a market or on the side of the road.

You shouldnt go where you know the food is from 6 thousand miles away and expect it to be as fresh and at peak level as something from down the street. But we dont want to pay down the street prices because those people have to charge more than Walmart.

You can go get a fresh old school style tiny chicken with less breast meat and no added chemicals or anti biotics from a guy who has like 30 to sell instead of truck loads. But it will cost more...so most people dont.

Its not about what food is there to purchase. Its about Americans being gluttons who need giant servings so we dont buy the smaller fresher more expensive foods that are produced locally. We buy giant chickens for 4 bucks....or straight up fried chicken bought from the same people.

We arent gonna just....go get a small natural chicken and grill it.

We are about whats cheap and fast with the most food for the least money.

You can eat well in America...and not go broke. But portion sizes have to cut in half to where they were in the 70s.

My mom used to give me a single Mcdonalds cheese burger and I was content. I see 8 year olds getting 2 double cheeseburgers and some nuggets with a medim drink that would have been a large when I was a kid. Kids who arent even fat. The fat kids get 2 for 5 big macs a large fry and a drink that would have been for the whole family in 1980. Literally. They will give you a 42 oz drink. 4 people would have had like 10 ounces each 30 years ago.

The kids size soda at Mcdonalds is now larger than the ONLY size they sold from the 50s to the 70s. Their only drink was 10 ounces. The child size now is 12.

Parents used to tell kids to drink slow. Save some for when you finish your food. Now? Kids drink a whole cup warming up to have the food. A cup as they eat. And a cup to wash it down.

That isnt an issue of American food. Thats an issue of parenting and education.

People out here putting pepsi in 2 year olds sippy cup because they dont want water. You think anyone gave a shit what I wanted at 2? Heres some ****ing water. If youre thirsty you will drink it.

People are ****ed up because we **** ourselves up. Not because society gives up the option. We still have to choose to live that way.

After all, our food and our health are deeply connected. American healthcare spending has ballooned to $3.5tn a year, and yet we are sicker than most other developed countries. Meanwhile, our food system contains thousands of chemicals that have not been proven safe and many that are banned in other countries.

He's 100% right. You can't trust anything processed or prepared for you.

Sugar, salt and fat. Food companies/restaurants figured out what sells decades ago and have no conscience or oversight. Want your customer to come back? Make sure you gave them enough of what they want.

Sauces, soups, canned goods, processed meats, it's endless.

How many people actually read nutrition labels or understand them? Gotta read labels.

I have stated this for years --- product in demand , means preserving more for making more money.
So the most recent two restaurant types that target people are Mexican and Chinese .

Chinese has all you can eat buffets --- not so much chinese as what Americans prefer to eat.
Mexican's has huge platters with reasonable prices ... you walk out and say dam that was great (you will be back)

Money rolls in for these franchise style restaurants.

How bout eat health squeaks out types of stores ???
My two closets towns used to have at least one or more BAKERIES in each town.... they don't exist anymore.

Our society is changing ... yet my mum lived to be 86 eating lard and butter.

America is the most obese country in the world , not only based on the richest life style , by commercial.
Wisconsin is the fattest state in America ....

People are starting to take exercise more seriously , instead of vid games.... but the mill-gen we probably lost already.

thank god my wife is 100 lbs and still looks great at 62 .

I'm sure that you are trolling.

Healthier? No shot.

https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/

United States life expectancy barely ranks top 50 by country.

Now granted, there is a lot more here than food. Stress levels, lifestyle, genetics, access to medical care, etc... but... uh... yeah... your fuel type is one of the if not the most important factor for how long you last right up there with physical activity.

I mean if you want to get technical with the word "most" then ok but a great number of countries below us aren't developed countries.

As far as cheaper I don't believe that either.

Dude, in the list you post, USA is higher than most of the countries.

Most of the countries better than USA are mostly small countries like

Montserrat
Barbados
Bermuda
Etc.

USA is on same level with Italy, France, Germany and better than UK in that list you post.

Also, answer me that:

What is the minimum wage in USA?
What percentage of employees earns minimum wage?
What can you buy with that money?

In my country:
Net minimum wage is 250 dollars (it would probably be 350 in january)
Half of the employees make that
You can buy only 20-25 kg steak or salmon with that money.

For some reason big pharma and the NRA get 100x more attention than big sugar. The FDA food pyramid (probably created by big sugar) recommends that we eat loads of carbs. :lol

The average American consumes between 150 to 170 pounds of refined sugars in one year. For some perspective, those giant bags of sugar in the grocery store are 4 lbs each. :eek:

http://prod.shopwell.com/gladson/00015800030638_full.jpg

No amount of healthcare is going to help if you eat 40 bags/year with minimal exercise. :hammerhead:

Sugar is the most addictive drug on the face of earth. Introduce it to us really young and pretty much make us dependent on it without our knowledge. Take a glance at some food labels and there's sugar in stuff you wouldn't even expect it to be in.

I totally agree with you. While its harms for human health are known so much, the food industry uses it in every field. :applause:

The covid vaccine has had more trials and testing than much of the synthetic chemicals we ingest. I think so much of both physical and mental unhealthiness in the US can be linked directly to fast food chains.

Want to get healthy and stop being addicted to food?

Cut any type of carbs out of your diet and get it below 30g a day at least. Up your fat intake and keep your protein moderate. The less processed food is, the better it will be for your usually. Drink plenty of water that naturally has minerals/electrolytes in it so you don't become dehydrated. Drinking reversed osmosis water all the time can dehydrate you since it has zero minerals/electrolytes in it.

Walk, at the minimum walk maybe 20-30 minutes 3-5 days a week. It's a stress reliever.

Stretch and meditate.

Watch how much better you'll feel withing 1-2 weeks. You'll get past the hunger cravings because your body's insulin/blood sugar levels aren't always spiking and crashing constantly, you'll lose any un-needed weight and most of all you won't feel dependent on food so much and a slave to it.

It’s not just people with celiac disease who Dr. Cole says should minimize eating gluten-containing grains. “This has more to do with what has been done to the wheat supply [in the U.S.] than to the gluten itself,” he says. For example, Dr. Cole says that wheat is often sprayed with glyphosate, an herbicide that kills good bacteria in the gut. On top of this, he says, the soil health in the U.S. has become depleted over time, which has affected the genetic makeup of wheat.

Have you ever heard from someone about how gluten-containing foods give them digestive problems when they eat them here in the U.S., but they were able to enjoy bread and pasta in Italy or France with no issues? Dr. Cole says this is because they grow and process their wheat products differently.

in my small town , we have a high end grocery store , and has real issues competing with lower class Wal-mart , and the most expensive
store 'a natural foods store'

Natural food store had moved three times , before building a million dollar store.
There pie's are $20 a pop --- and butter and lard are used.
I buy my crusts from them , easier and better.:roll::roll::roll:

their breads are 10x better , package goods I get at Wal-mart, and meats I get at the high end store.

Wife buys all her food (vegetarian) from the health food store... her annual food bill is twice as much as mine.

There are a lot of reasons for the relative health disparities between countries, but food is a HUGE contributor. I personally know several people who spent a lot of time in Japan (6 months to multiple years), and despite constantly eating japanese fried chicken and drinking japanese soda they all lost tons of weight in Japan. One of my friends lost a ton of weight and lost his bitch tits after moving to Japan for a couple years, only to regain his weight and have his tits to re-bitch within ~6 months of returning to the US.

Avoid seed oil - (soybean/canola/corn/grapeseed/sunflower/etc) and avoid processed sugar (like corn syrup)... and the pounds will melt off of your fat ass with little effort

You can still eat junk and fried foods and lose weight... you just have to replace your seed oils with healthy oils like avocado or olive, and replace the fake sugars with real granulated sugar used in quantities that resemble moderation.
