One in three is fucking nuts
- Ancalagon 1y agoabsolutely wild, considering it used to be such a rare disease
- 8fingerlouie 1y agoAdmitted, i'm an old fart, but when i was a kid, cake was something we had on sundays, sodas was something we got at a birthday party, and we had one, maybe two, and meals were rich in protein and fat, with carbohydrates usually being at the bottom. We spent the entire day outside, riding our bikes, playing (as in physical, not computer), riding skateboards, etc. These days it almost feels like sugar has replaced a lot of the protein and at least some of the fat, and we eat a lot more of it. Sodas are no longer a "monthly" event, but a daily event, and people will happily drink 2-3-4 sodas per day (or more). In our food, a lot of the protein has been replaced by sugar and fat as well. And instead of running around, playing on the streets, kids these days sit in front of a computer/tablet/phone/tv/whatever.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoSoda has been on the downswing for… twenty years? As folks learned more about it. Maybe some didn’t get the memo. The documentary “sugar coated” goes into the reasons. Surprise, the sugar industry was involved.
- 8fingerlouie 1y agoMaybe the younger generation has learned the lesson, but many people 30 plus still drinks 1-2 liters of the stuff every day. Many 20 plus year olds I know also drink energy drinks like it’s a miracle drug, when all it really is, is soda in disguise.

- hoegarden 1y agoI've encountered possible food fraud with both srawberries and beef, though water for cheapening meat is more common than flavor improvement.. Eggs are probably not worth trouble though possible to treat.
- hilux 1y agoIf you buy and eat whole eggs, whole beef, and whole fruit, that is wonderful, and you are in a small minority of Americans. I still remember staying at a hotel in North Carolina, next to a famous tech company, where the fruit at breakfast was out of a can, drowned in syrup.
