-Potato chips and onion rings are "vegetables."
-Butter and whipped cream are "dairy" foods.
-Sprite and lemonade are "clear fluids."
-Cookies and cupcakes are part of the "grain" group.
-Because pizza contains cheese (dairy), crust (grains), mushrooms and sauce (vegetables), and pepperoni (meat), it is a "well-balanced" meal.
-Drinking a Diet Coke is "hydrating."
-I should eat that Milky Way bar because chocolate is "good" for my heart.
-Cheese-drenched nachos are good for me because they contain "grains" and "diary."
When I was a fatty in high school, I used to eat several corndogs per day because "they're meat covered with grains, and I should eat meat and grains every day because they're members of the 4 food groups." I honestly thought this way, just as I believed the explanation, "part of a well-balanced breakfast," at the end of a Captain Crunch commercial (is there an MLM drink made out of Crunch Berry juice by the way?). How have you justified eating junk food, either naively or purposefully?
Don't forget vegetables drenched in cheese sauce and "pumpkin" pie. Also--a Cafe Rio "salad" drenched in creamy tomatillo dressing. It's still a salad and salads are good for you, right?
ReplyDeleteI am going to disagree on the Diet Coke one! I can't seem to get rid of it! And it must be hydrating, I don't feel thirsty after I drink it:) Just teasing you, I do drink lots and lots of water. Hope you guys are doing well. Would love to see you soon!
