Topic: Serious question for those of you who eat fast food every day
Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #88,099
We know, scientifically, that fast food is terrible for your health. It does all sorts of horrible things to your body, and it decreases your lifespan. Eating fast food every day is what produces those obese, mobility scooter riders with sky high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. This is beyond argument: it is proven. So, knowing all of this, why do you still eat fast food every day? You are, quite literally, killing yourselves.

Living 24 hours every day is what produces those old, mobility scooter riders with sky high insurance premiums, heart failure, and brittle bones. This is beyond argument: it is proven. So, knowing all of this, why do you still stay alive every day? You are, quite literally, killing yourselves.

Yeah, but do you want to spend your brief time in this world sick and obese and miserable on a Hoveround, or actually healthy and happy?

I understand poorer families eating like shit. Even Orwell noted that trend in The Road to Wigan Pier. It is, in fact, very strange when well-to-do people eat at McDonalds™ and KFC™ (and the other billion fast food chains Americans enjoy) every other day. Not that British people are much better, mind.

It doesn't make sense for poor people to eat fast food, because you could buy the food for a few meals at the same price. Fast food is expensive, and doesn't even keep well.

Clearly your analogy is false, but if I need to explain to you why, then you do not have the capacity to understand.

The miner’s family spend only ten pence a week on green vegetables and ten pence half-penny on milk (remember that one of them is a child less than three years old), and nothing on fruit; but they spend one and nine on sugar (about eight pounds of sugar, that is) and a shilling on tea. The half-crown spent on meat might represent a small joint and the materials for a stew; probably as often as not it would represent four or five tins of bully beef. The basis of their diet, therefore, is white bread and margarine, corned beef, sugared tea, and potatoes – an appalling diet.
Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw? Yes, it would, but the point is that no ordinary human being is ever going to do such a thing. The ordinary human being would sooner starve than live on brown bread and raw carrots. And the peculiar evil is this, that the less money you have, the less inclined you feel to spend it on wholesome food. A millionaire may enjoy breakfasting off orange juice and Ryvita biscuits; an unemployed man doesn’t. […] When you are unemployed, which is to say when you are underfed, harassed, bored, and miserable, you don’t want to eat dull wholesome food. You want something a little bit ‘tasty’. There is always some cheaply pleasant thing to tempt you. Let’s have three pennorth of chips! Run out and buy us a twopenny ice-cream! Put the kettle on and we’ll have a nice cup of tea. That is how your mind works when you are at the P.A.C [tteh note: Public Assistance Committee] level. White bread-and-marg and sugared tea don’t nourish you to any extent but they are nicer (at least most people think so) than brown bread-and-dripping and cold water. Unemployment is an endless misery that has got to be constantly palliated, and especially with tea, the English-man’s opium. A cup of tea or even an aspirin is much better as a temporary stimulant than a crust of brown bread.

How is it false? You have a choice to live for 24 hours, and you have a choice to eat fast food. Both acts decrease your lifespan, are voluntary and are satisfying to primal cravings.

Yes! (PDF.)
It's Orwell's assessment of the conditions of the English underclass, written in 1937. The former half of the book is far more interesting than the latter, IMO, unless you care about British attitudes to socialism.

If you are healthy, you will not be on a zimmer frame. You can live your entire life reasonably healthy and happy. If you are diabetic at 40 and on a Hoveround with high blood pressure and heart problems, then you will be miserable, even though still alive. Miserable, or happy. That is the choice.

You don't seem like you're very happy. Maybe some KFC will put the smile back on your face.

This reply of course will be expected so happy to provide
Many users of MC remember the Mongoloid Idiot that went to China and bragged about his daily intake of Fast Food made right on the dirty filthy streets of China. Included the aromas of those taking daily dumps right next to the food cart. Stir Fried Cat or Dog or Rat were top notch choices daily. They even had the more expensive Mystery meat available.

You should purchase some Huel™! I will post u some. :^)
But yeah, I like the 1930s UKEnglish idea of a poor diet: meat, potatoes, white bread, and (gasp!) tea with a spoonful of sugar. He would look at the modern Brit's diet and flay himself.

I would definitely say it's worth the read. The ideas he explores and the book's general themes apply to more than just England and Europe. A grate read.

When did you last try it? They changed their formula a while back! Huel™ is now palatable, and they have flavour sachets you can add (although I prefer Original Vanilla® Huel™).

Of course he is. He who when in China ate Cat Dog and Rat daily well of course not daily because Snake and insects were his alternate go2's for fast food.
Also those street fast foods were stir fried in that special oil that needs no detailed mention about what makes it special.

Chinese sewers are a valid source of Chinese nutrition.
Did you know they also produce a version of Soylent Green.
