Re: Who do you really hate?

[Ihateyoumike]

People who judge other people by the way they eat. If people (like me) like fast food, and don't care (like me) about the side effects that may come along with it... Then why should you give a shit?
Seems awful close to the people who know they're right about god and want me to change to "save my soul".

I agree with this, though I'm much less irritated with people concerned over something in reality like my health. At the very least those who want me to eat less fast food have some link to reality through decent studies. We all make choices based on what we want: if eating food you like is more important than the results of eating that food, then that is your choice. There are other things to trade to prevent the negative effects.

I honestly don't care what OTHER people stuff down their  gullet, I myself only want a few more places with healthier options. I eat junk food from time to time, but my only choices shouldn't just be mcdonalds and Wendy's.


Fast food can still be heathy and affordable.  I am unemployed at the moment, but I shouldn't put my health at risk with  so few affordable options.

Well they sure ain't getting fat off of carrot stix.

I hope that was a joke, rather than you missing/ignoring the point completely.

Sorry, you have no idea how hard it is for me to post

But after reading further ...honestly the statements have been a bit more offensive than a problem with punctuation!


So I could give a shit how you feel about how I type...but thanks for pointing out how much it annoys you

LOL

Perfection...sorry not for me

I think the only poster who mentioned your punctuation here was Sweetdeath. I think you need to calm down a bit.

Sorry, Hidelight. You can just ignore me if you'd like. :<

I don't think Hidelight needs or want's to ignore anybody. This is an equal opportunity forum and that includes posting style. The Magic Pudding has a wonderfully idiosyncratic posting style, sometimes I don't find his posts easy to follow, but then I read them a few times and have to work a bit harder. On another thread you commented that if you don't like something just ignore it, maybe you should take your own advice?

Okey dokey pokey!

...I myself only want a few more places with healthier options.

I agree with this. I do eat fast food frequently; however, sometimes I get tired of eating fast food. I would like more places that have healthier options.

Also, as far as people being too busy to actually make dinner, there are ways to get around that. There are healther, quick fixes that are on the market these days. Parents could also cook for the week on the weekend, so the food just need to be heated up. My mom raised my brothers and I, alone, and with a full-time job. She always found a way to cook for us.

One major problem I have is the lunches that get served at public schools. It's equivalent to fast food and it's usually just crappy all around

About fast food: I also think that people who come in with their unwelcome advice and insights can be annoying, but they most they can do is give you information and hope that you at least make an informed choice. I'd risk saying that most people probably don't really know what they're eating and drinking. They just know that it isn't good for them.  They just don't know how bad...

[Sweetdeath]

^  it's  hard to believe anyone could be that ignorant when most places are now forced to openly display nuritional facts.

I seriously think it is just laziness.

Yeah, I think so too. Or else people do know but don't really care, or perhaps think that they're immune from any possible bad effects (which I think is probably the case).

What I meant by people don't know just how bad is that that maybe if they took the time and energy to study nutritional health a bit more in depth, they would be surprised and scared out of eating certain things.

As for nutritional labels, at least here there are some companies who slyly add jargon that I doubt that people who are not already familiar with the terms will be familiar with. Many here use words such as 'lipid' instead of fats. Clever.

Once again, if I don't recognize the word , I don't eat.

Foods with sodium benzite, sulfate or monoglucose doesn't sound good for anyone.

I hate the bastard(s) who set fire to our shed.

Two years ago our charity got permission to use a piece of waste land.  With help from local residents and a team from the Cadburys factory, they got it all set up; a group of learning-disabled folk have been raising flowers and vegetables on it ever since.  Everyone benefitted: neighbours who were now next to an attractive garden, the disabled folk who put so much into it and got so much out, the rest of us who used to go down there to relax and chat.

Now the shed has been torched; the blaze took a lot of our tools and kit with it.

However the way the public has rallied round has been heartwarming: within two hours of the local newspaper appearing with the story, someone donated some cash.  Now we've got more tools than we can possibly use plus a good sum of money.  And some steel fabricators are going to make us a tough steel shed as a replacement.
