I wonder why people are delusional.

Most people eat the standard American diet, I'm not knocking on vegans or plant based eaters but it's always been weird to me how saturated fat is the blame when everything is fried plants and seed oils that spoil.

How can you, for instance, have McDonald's and then blame the beef patty for your diseases when the entire meal is made out of fifty ingredients EXCEPT the beef.

I just don't get where people don't really have any common sense. To them, they're healthy if they eat the entire fast food meal except the beef patty lol.

Ridiculous 馃槣馃ぃ

People confuse nutritional issues. We need fat to live it's just easy to consume too much of it.

But with McDonald's it's more a meal which is high calorie, low nutrient, and loaded with sugar.

@deadgerbil I think you're right but it's still frustrating when people blame meat for American's ills and woes seeing as half of it is fried carbs and high fructose in literally everything. Fried carbs are delicious by the way but it's highly doubtful one hamburger is the cause for all cause mortality and I'm sick of hearing it.

@SatanBurger the fear mongering is annoying. A good % of it comes from people who are trying to sell their diet program etc and it's easy to demonize carbs etc for a quick buck

@SatanBurger I don't hear many people go after red meat much anymore--generally it's processed food that gets a lot of flak, and deservedly so. Everyone I know who stopped eating processed food and started cooking their own food (no matter what diet it adheres to, if any) has had their health improve. It's that "fifty ingredients" that's the problem. But fast food is cheap and whole ingredients are expensive, and the price just keeps going up. I don't think we're going to see overall health in this country improve any time soon.

@Fatalice The point of my post is that vegans think the sad diet is all meat, it's not.

@SatanBurger This is one of the reasons I like Carl's, Jr. You can get any of their hamburgers with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. Cuts out nearly all the carbs.

@LordShadowfire I would love one over here but we don't have those sadly. I feel like you have to really fight the fast food chains over here to get you anything that's not standard on the menu even though I know they serve it.
@SatanBurger Yeah, over here, when you start ordering off menu, they usually give you a sly grin. I put together a McDonald's salad once, just using all side items that nobody knows you can order separately. Side of lettuce, side of diced tomatoes, side of shredded cheese, and a ranch packet.
