    I had always been a careful eater; mostly cooked from scratch, and followed nutritional orthodoxy. The latter, it turns out was all wrong. This book recently changed my perspective on everything, and I’m already feeling better (and losing weight). I actually had withdrawal from sugar - and now I don’t crave it at all.

    Hamilton is correct about the nuts and Fage Yogurt (2%, never 0%!) as snacks. Also, damn the cost - no more supermarket meat, only grass fed.

      Co-sign all this and will add: once I started canning my own jams and preserves and ketchup, I couldn’t go back to Kraft or Welch’s or whatever.

    mother fucker actin’ like he’s never been to an organic pop tart farm. vast fields of these little dream packets growing up from the rich soil. there is no sound better than the wind-blown crinkling of the silver sheaths that typically envelope the ripening pop tarts of various flavors and color combinations by mid july.

    set down your blog for a minute, get out into nature, and challenge yourself to see how many locally grown, freshly picked pop tarts your organs can handle.

      no shit. motherfucker never spent no day pickin’ crunch berries either. there’s nothing better for the body and soul than ripe crunch berries still glistening in the morning dew, their sweet smell wafting in the breeze. motherfucker never knows what it’s like to have crunch berry stained fingers at the end of hard day’s work in the fields neither. that shit don’t wash off, but’s that cool because them stained fingers are a source of pride and self respect that motherfucker won’t never have.

      He calls himself a New Yorker? Every self-respecting New Yorker spends his or her weekends in Times Square, eating at the City’s world-famous Hard Rock Cafe and feasting on desserts from the Pop Tarts World Varietizer.

    the main reason americans are fat is the following:

    1) anti bullying movement says you cant call fat people names so they never learn and never change.

    2) plus size models.

    3) chipotle because people think organic locally sourced stuff isnt 10,000 calories.

    4) lack of food education as well as health education.

    5) healthcare companies want people fat so you have to buy their meds, eg diabetes and other fat people health issues.

    facebook is another reason

      I vote for Number 4. Oh wait, we’re not voting? OK #4 is the only one that makes sense. Also you forgot #6 - exercise, lack of or incorrectly done, doesn’t burn enough calories.

    Sugar has been shown to be carcinogenic, if that helps anyone break the habit. Not that I didn’t eat the little Choco Pie thing my manicurist gave me the other day cos she was running late. But other wise, sugar is the devil.

    I had to make a special trip to the store to buy white sugar for a hummingbird feeder. It’s the first time in years I’ve had actual sugar in the house.

    like fat asses and the sweet-tooth craving sugar devourers are going to give two fucks. Reading the back of the box never enters into the equation for most people.

    Sugar needs to be BANNEd, but of course, big business will NEVER let that happen

      Added sugar would certainly be helpful for me when I'm choosing juice... it's not all about the hostess.

      Fruit juice is sugar water.

      And anyway, “juice” makers already use apple juice or pear juice instead of HFCS or cane sugar, so they can claim “100% juice - no added sugar” while still having just as much simple sugars in their product.

    A HUGE victory would be if the food companies were required to include the daily recommended percentage for sugar on their labels.

    The food and sugar lobby sucked a lot of Congressional dicks to keep that off labels.

    Go ahead and look for yourself! Grab any random food item, look at the nutrition label and see how virtually every item has the percentage of the daily recommended allowance EXCEPT sugar.

    Because for most products, it would be in the THOUSANDS of percent.

    Overheard at Popeye’s the other day:

    “Is there sugar in the coleslaw?”

    “I think so.”

    “No thank you, then. I don’t need no sugar in my fucking cole slaw.”

    Dude had his priorities right.

      the rest of that conversation:

      “No thank you, then. I don’t need no sugar in my fucking cole slaw...Just fries with the four piece. And make it spicy.*”

      *cause let’s be honest, if you’re at popoyes and not fucking with spicy chicken you’re doing it wrong.

      Never mind the calories, adding sugar to savory things like mayo is effing disgusting.

      that really happened in France. The color making machine fucked up at a French M and M’s plant and blended all the colors together. so they dumped all the fucked up coloring outside in a big dumpster. the bees from an ancient apiary soon located the dumpster and swarmed it for the easier sugar instead of working all day harvesting pollen. the apiary’s honey turned blue from the M and M coloring. they thought blue honey was useless and tossed it all. but think about it. Blue Honey would be a marketing miracle here in the good ole U.S. of A.
