good article about overeating

[Guest guest]

Ruth,

But, it is so much fun to blame the fast food industry that way we don't

have to accept responsibility. (LOL)

Now, folks who only blame the fast food joints never ate at my grandmother's

house on Thanksgiving or Christmas. (LOL)

Mashed taters with lots of gravy, pumpkin pie with *real* whipped cream,

apple pie with ice cream, corn on the cob, home made bread and sweet rolls,

Humongous biscuits to sop up the sausage gravy and others loaded with fresh

churned butter.

You could easily put on 5 pounds in a meal. (LOL)

Yes, super sizing, even more comfort foods to sooth jangled nerves and

unrealized ambitions.

Hi,

Well, I personally feel that some of the rump kicking belongs to the people

too. No one forces you to go to these fast food places.Some people's

overeating habits begin long before we even get to the restaurant part.

Many people overeat because of emotional problems that exist and overeating

is just a comfort solution to make you feel better because it provides

instant gratification. The question also begs to be asked why can I go to

Mcdonald's and not get addicted and get over wheight while the next person

can't do this? I don't disagree that these fast food places are not great

for you, but all points must be looked at not just what the fast food places

are doing. I also have seen a documentary called Super Size It. Has anyone

else seen that one? It also examines the fast food phenomenom.

ruth, that movie was done by the guy who wrote the book I was referring to.

Yes, I almost forgot. I saw that movie last month right after reading the book.

It's out on video, if anyone wants to get it.

Well Sy, we're going to have to outlaw grandmothers and good cooking moms like

mine. Maybe someone will have to go door-to-door every day and give us the same

foods, and nothing more. ug now I'm off the deep end.

My main problem is the marketers. The bottom line is the bottom line. Mcs

needs to out sell 's or it was a bad year. I suspect the big wigs in these

organizations rarely partake of the food that makes them so wealthy. The salads

and other healthier choices are there to capture that part of the market, but

the real money and their ultimate longevity is in selling millions of gigantic

fat laden jumbo burgers with super-duper fries and a serving of Coke large

enough to satisfy the thirst of half a dozen people.

Vicki,

Well, this is probably on the fringes of off topic but I think it is

relevant.

First of all, in today's economy I believe it is all but impossible for a

family to exist on a single income. This has been true for a good 20 years

as the term " latch key kids " became in use in the early 80s.

We were bless in that I had a good job and could afford for my wife to be an

at home mother and when I retired then we were both at home. Believe me,

with 12 special needs children many of which had specific dietetic needs it

took all hands on deck to haul the freight.

One of our children had PKU and could have no protein, another was lactose

intolerant, another needed a low carb diet and Grampa had Diverticulitis and

his needs conflicted with almost everyone else. (LOL)

Few people want to take the time and effort to cook from scratch as they

prefer to just open the box, pour it in a pan and hit the old microwave.

Even fewer folks want to go to the effort to actually read the ingredient

list so see just what the product contains and then try to figure out if it

is good or bad. (LOL)

Today's life is further complicated by the fact that few families all sit

down to the table at the same time to eat. They just grab, growl and run.

In my opinion this is probably the most disastrous to good, healthy eating

habits.

Meal planning does take time and it also takes time to prepare the meal and

many families simply do not have the time to donate because healthy eating

is not one of their priorities.

Now, with more and more families teetering on the edge of financial ruin

healthy eating is even further down on the priority list.

Well if you can do that, Sy, I would think some of these parents who work

and get home rather late can plan a meal, maybe in the morning or the night

before or a quick meal after work. I can't imagine a meal with 12 kids but I

know that when someone has children in the house you don't think about it

you just do it.

Hi,

It is obvious from what everyone is saying that the reason for overeating is

not just for one reason, but is a complex reason with many levels to it.

One interesting point in the movie Super Size It, was that the research

proved that a lot of the problem started when fast food joints came into

being and that the regular restaurants did not cause the problem. Eating is

such a social thing. For example you can be understood if you refuse a

drink, but when you try to refuse food, people keep pushing. I wonder why

that is, and people just cannot understand the word NO. Besides, it seems

that everything that tastes really good in life are high in sugar, fat,

carbs, or salt. Sigh. The other funny point is that to cook from scratch

and eat healthy, in the long run is cheaper than eating out. It's just too

bad that people haven't figured it out yet.
