Time to vent: My own views on the world and people: America and Food II

Merry Christmas to you all!

Back to this lovely subject, we Americans love to eat. Especially on Christmas and Thanksgiving. Ah hell, anytime is fine, so long as we can eat. Now what we're eating is another story. We're not cooking a turkey or a ham? We're buying frozen dinners instead? Why? Do you know how much sodium are in those trays of poison? They're cheap at certain times of the year, but that should not be a reason to substitute it for a real meal. And to buy them en masse? Bad. It may be cheaper than a nice-sized turkey but it isn't better. At least you cook your own bird. The slices of meat that you get with a TV dinner is riddled with MSG, moreso with the gravy. And you get sup-par vegetables that are shriveled from the heat of the microwave. It's much better for you to buy your own vegetables and meat. And less cheaper to do so, too.

How? Well, simple.

Look at the prices of what you have a taste for. Sometimes at say, Kroger you have some meat and the like that are at a discount price. Yes, they may not look as appealing but trust me, even that discount meat is more healthy than what you'll find next to the ice cream. You cook it as soon as you get home or you put it in a deep freezer. You also clean it thoroughly. Some people will say "That meat has salmonella or it'll give you some type of stomach virus!". Guess what? You can't eat anything nowadays. Pasta? No. Sandwiches? Nada. Seafood? Nyet. Red meat? Nien. You can't eat anything without facing a risk. You know what'll decrease your chances of facing these risks?

Moderation.

Shocking, isn't it? We can eat these things and live a nice healthy life. But what do we do? We eat. And eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat. We grow obese, we blame others as opposed to ourselves and we sue. We get that large sum of money and buy more stuff to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat. And then on BBC or whatever network wastes their money, they waste their money on airing an hour-long special based around these beasts. These same fools will call their obesity a disease. Taxpayer money is being put into funding these fat asses and their excuses. On average, America is fat or overweight. And these same fools will treat a vegetable like a rapist or a black man(gasp)at night.

And going on vegetables. They're not gonna hurt you. They're gonna keep your liver and bloodstream clean and clear of diseases. They're also considerably affordable. But you'll go to a box of cookies before you grab a bag of fresh kale. Speaking of fresh, some vegetables can be eaten raw and the ones that can be should be eaten as is. But you won't cook vegetables. Because you weren't taught how to cook. All you know is seven minutes, punch a few holes in the wrapping and reheat for a minute for the rest of the ice to melt. And for those fat fucks who say I eat a salad every day, putting dressing, cheese and croutons on three slices of lettuce does not mean you're eating healthy. Try some olives, baby carrots, mushrooms or onions with the usual spring mix. Try to eat it as is. You can't. You won't. You'll go for that Whopper before you touch an actual salad. You'll buy ramen before you eat fresh kale greens. You'll bite into a block of blacktop before you bite into a fresh tomato. You're a waste of space and in the wild, your ass will be eaten first. And those lions will never want to eat an antelope again. You don't exercise after eating a large meal, you eat heavily late at night and then you wonder why you have diabetes or a foot on the chopping block. It's all your fault and no one else. Well, probably your parents. They didn't care enough to teach or moderate your eating habits. So you do have someone to blame.

Who knew?
