  • I suppose but that’s not inherently unhealthy or even bad for you in the traditional understanding of the phrase. I understand not wanting to drink your calories as someone who struggles with significant weight loss, but the what about the inverse? I’m sure there are some people who need to drink profound amounts of calories just to survive.

    If you want unprocessed applesauce, buy apples. They’re a choice no different than anything else.

    Processed food isn’t bad for you… GMOs aren’t bad for you… that’s the propaganda farmers use to keep you from making common sense choices.

    “Processed” is anything that goes into a machine. You want your beef ground up? It’s now processed. What’s added in the processing is what you need to isolate and be weary of.

    “Genetically Modified Organisms” includes bananas which have been selectively cultivated to provide more nutrition and reduce seed sizes. It’s a result of intelligent agricultural practices to maximize food production and minimize inedible waste.

    Plant based meat has been an incredible substitution for meat making it cruelty free without compromising much on taste or texture, if at all.

    Lab grown is the next step, making genuine meat without slaughtering animals. I’m not aligned with PETA but I think an ideal future is one where we don’t need to kill sentient life in order to have exactly what we do right now.

    You can have your own opinion but at the very least be aware of the origin of your bias.

    Ah okay so you really were just being pedantic, that’s a shame. I didn’t say “I don’t like the taste of healthy foods” I said that I, as well as many others, are ‘supertasters’ which makes certain bitter chemicals in many healthy options much more noticable. Imagine, for a moment, everything you enjoy eating being more bitter or spicy than you like and you’re being told to eat it anyway or you won’t be respected by some guy online.

    Lol I’m taking antidepressants, got an active job, and already said I was losing weight. I made those changes. But you do understand that your response to be a fucking asshole to people based on what they look like, knowing there are factors outside their control that can make them look like that, makes you just an insufferable piece of shit, yeah? That people as a whole would rather live among fat people than dicks like you?

    Take your own advice. Grow the fuck up and get over yourself. Until then, what and who you respect will mean nothing to anyone. After all, you’re the dude who shits on fat people like he never left high school.

    Hey boss, I’ve been fat all my life. Was a thick baby, they almost had to break my shoulders to get my out. Part of my issue is my thyroid, the other is I’m a super taster and healthy shit tastes bitter and ungodly awful. As a kid I avoided it and continued being big and I’m almost 30. I’ve only briefly known what being skinny felt like after a strict diet I hated. I got severely depressed and buried my feelings in food. As a fat person losing weight again, I have no respect for you. You’re an entitled prick who had the fortune of a coping mechanism and biology that allowed you to probably grow up skinny and developed a lifestyle to keep you that way. It’s fucking hard to do that when you’re overweight or have biological obstacles.

    Sincerely, fuck off, from a fat person.
