So I am dicking about on Facebook where like others here I have the misfortune of having fats in my feed either for personal or professional reasons. The reehing is mostly annoying but occasionally amusing. However I must normally resort to chuckling in private and moving along with out comment as shitlording wouldn't do in real life for monetary reasons. However tonight one eat beast got me going and I simply could not resist temptation tehee!
Eat beast one and eatbeast two as well as myself have a nice chat. Here after referred to as EB1 and EB2 and I shall of course play FF.
So EB1 post that stupid tumbler meme with fresh fruit yammering on about not shaming fat poor people for not being able to afford such expensive health food.
FF Points out that many other foods are healthy, cheaper, more filling and provide a more balanced diet anyway. Such as rice, beans, chicken.
EB1 responds with yeah but!! People addicted to sodium and sugar blah blah blah. Also states people don't know what to do with raw ingredients can't magic them into food.
FF Asks if that is the case why are we discussing fresh fruits and food cost then? As for how to cook internet is basically in the hands of almost everyone at least in the US and if not there are friends, family, libraries where such knowledge can be had for free! Failure to access it is down to lack of motivation or ture desire to change.
EB1 Shuts up knows it has lost. Goes to stuff face with food in sad dark corner.
EB2 enters! Says lack of motivation statement offensive to it on a personal level. Clams eat beast offspring have food allergies and celiac! It works hard to provide them good food within budget. But it is so hard!
FF Points out if EB2 is using aforementioned tools to post on the internet on Facebook it can also look up recipes and learn to cook foods for allergies and celiac disease often far cheaper than buying processed convenience food at the grocery store. Also points out I'd it is doing so then the lack of motivation thing would not apply to them personally if they read what was said.
EB2 says it can't afford healthy foods for its large family fast food is only answer. Is on food stamps budget just won't stretch!
FF Points out they grew up extremely poor and never got fast food because a splurge like that could easily mean no dinner at least one to two other nights that week. Also points out fast food places don't accept food stamps.
EB2 declares it can feed its entire family for $15 to $20 fast food places such as McDonald's.
FF wonders what happened to the food allergies and celiac disease if they are able to eat at such places! Also wonders where this extra money in the budget suddenly appeared from but doesn't say so out loud because can't be a ture shitlord in public remember. Instead tells EB2 that yes allergies and celiacs disease must be very hard for it to manage on its own an offer to point it to some nice resources for free in order to help it.
EB2 is defeated and doesn't respond. Well that or it has toppled over and can't right itself to get back to keyboard.
TL:DR
Fats dislike the use of facts and logic. Will change arguments mid mid sentence when confronted with such. React as if you tried to feed the steamed broccoli with no butter or spinach!
Ps typos and formatting might suck. Sorry on phone, sleep deprived and dyslexic.

Processed foods contain wheat & wheat gluten and other stuff bad for celiacs. Home cooking is the best way to alleviate symptoms.
Stupid fats.

The Mcwaddles is what really gives it away. Your kids don't have any of the shit you speak of, because no parent who cared enough to not get the 'bad foodsa' from the grocery store would take the chilluns to mcwaddles.
...oh fuck, I just realized my mistake. Nevermind, they're obviously to fat to really care. The chilluns excuse is really for them

My children get McDonald's on occasion. I care about them and we're not fat. However, I can feed my family a nice, healthy dinner for less than $15. Last night was pork chops (boneless on sale 4 nice sized chops for ~$9), broccoli ($0.99/lb) and brown rice ($3 for the whole bag and we didn't eat the whole bag). Most nights I can get away even cheaper than that.

It pissed me off when they make the "but I'm poor!" excuse. I grew up poor. I couldn't afford luxuries like McDonald's or soda pop. There is zero fucking reason to buy soda pop and then bitch you don't have enough money to feed yourself. Zero. For that matter, it costs nothing to eat fewer calories. Even if you're in that minority that lives in an absolute food desert, you'd have more money if you ate less crap and healthier for not putting your body through as much abuse.
It's like someone complaining that gasoline is expensive, so instead of buying premium they buy regular but buy 25 gallons of it for their car's 20 gallon tank, and then stand complaining about how little money they have while excess gasoline slops all over their shoes.

yo what's your problem with spinach?
[–] FatalFat [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
Spinach is just a mean evil veggie and you damn well know it! I had only ever had it form a can as a young one so blech! The quite back accident I had fresh wilted into a soup I had ordered. It was marvelous, sweet, tender! Now I can't get enough and have become one of those weirdos who defend the evil green weed. Then again I also love liver.

A good portion of my salads usually consists of spinach and broccoli, I love the stuff.

I saw that meme yesterday on someone's status and responded with something similar. Also went so far as to point out how raspberries/grapes and pineapple have different seasons, so one is going to be expensive. Also that making good monetary choices, not just health choices are something everyone has to do. That meme is inaccurate at best, another shitty piece of fat logic.

I just got a shit ton of fresh veggies and supplies at the store for $13. It could feed me for at least a week. however I am using most of it to make pickled veggies for gifts. Beets, radishes, dill, cukes, carrots, onions, all the good stuff.
[–] FatalFat [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Beets+ vinegar+ peeled hardboiled eggs= pickled eggs! Nice protein rich snack.
[–] hypercat ago
Wish I could eat eggs. :( I limit myself to one half of a deviled egg two or three times a year. The damage it does to my tummy is not worth it. Stupid egg yolks.

Long story short---the kind of food doesn't really matter. It's simple CICO. I can personally prove it. I lost pregnancy weight by counting calories and a little more exercise. Know what I ate while counting calories? Beer, coffee, cake, sometimes chips, veggies, sweet tea, and pretty much whatever I wanted and still lost the weight.

That's a lot of money. My boyfriend and I pay about forty dollars a week for just us. We splurge here and there, but overall we're happy with rice/chicken/beans, etc. If we had a family, it'd of course go up, but nothing nearing twenty dollars for just one meal! Especially if we were really struggling!

My bf's mom has celiacs and she never eats out because of it though... The whole gluten thing puts a damper on fast good
[–] trishit_01 ago
My Mom has celiac disease (recently diagnosed) and I'm currently waiting my results from my endoscopy to see if I have it. I have cut out pretty much all fast food because my blood testing showed the markers for it. You'd be amazed where gluten hides. It's in everything since it's such a cheap filler/thickener.
