America's hypocritical eat healthy!

More of a rant than anything, but it might spawn some actual discussion. If there is one thing I hate about the United States it is how hypocritical we are about eating healthy. Past few years all you hear is about how out of shape America is (which is true) and that we need start eliminating so many carbohydrates in our diets and lower the amount of meats ands starches we all want to eat. Well, fine. However, all the organic foods, foods low in carbs, calories and sugar are all substantially more expensive than their normal counterparts. It reeks of trying to have one's cake and eat it too. We want you to eat healthy... but we also want you to line our pockets even more! Oh I don't know. You might get more people to cooperate with better food choices if you didn't ask them to pay twice as much for food items. Organic fruits and vegetables are the worst. You'll easily pay 1.5 if not twice as much just because it says "organic" on the sticker. It pisses me off. Either stop bitching about how poorly your people eat or make healthy eating more affordable.

After watching a documentary called "Food INC" i have come to the conclusion the food system in america is seriously messed up(mostly due to the huge amount of industrial farming). I try to make most of what i eat myself, but that is hard to stick to with no job :(

If you would buy the ingredients and cook it yourself, im pretty sure its not expensive. But if you would buy a salad from a restaurant... A bundle of brocolli is a $1 at most, mushrooms the same, cabbage cheaper, the others are just the same. I... I dont know where this expensive thing is coming from.

Even if you eat a $1 burger dripping in grease anyway, if youre gonna control the quantity, its not gonna make you fat. As was said, even if you are eating veggies but you eat buckets load its...

I ate burgers, and fries, cake, chocolate, candy, chips but I havent gained a pound. You just control the quantity of what you eat and exercise it off if you eat extra.

Damn those products slapping on random shit about losing weight without exercising, look slimmer and all that lunacy. I would rather run 30 km a week (not in just one day though) Then after like 2-4 weeks I would be healthier,stronger and thinner. Because if you don't exercise and depend on these fucked up products. You will get thin but not strong, and it takes a long time to get the desired effect of the product, after spending tons of money you still won't get better results than exercising!

exercise is better, it's free (gym? fuck that I have a road to run on) fun, and you'll feel better about yourself. So america go out there and exercise!!

If you exercise and don't eat healthy, you'll still look unhealthy or overweight. You will be stronger and have more endurance but you wont look much better naked.
