i’m surprised the supplements industry isn’t more disrupted than it already is

tho i suppose that might have something to do with how hard it’s deregulated thanks to orrin hatch

The problem is that you really wanna eat more of something that tastes really good. I've eaten 4500kcal a day of chicken and broccoli and it takes so much willpower to not just break down into tears from boredom.

Actually they're designed to taste really good and last a long time

I've yet to see a proper definition of what a "processed food" really is.

There's macronutrients and micronutrients and that's it.

lol if you think anyone understands exactly what is good or bad to eat and why. even the fda flip flops every few years. food itself has also become less nutritious over the last decades

we can say pretty certainly which things are more or less healthy though, with variety being on the healthy side and that bucket of lard the statin-laced goon ate for breakfast every day on the other

"Processed food" is a meaningless bullshit scare phrase. All food is processed.

Your brain likes fat, salt, and carbs. The more the better. Just make sure you're limiting your calorie intake to something you can reasonably burn and you'll be fine.

i doubt the design goes that far. i assume they just focus group the food and whatever ranks best gets released. and because it tastes "maximally good", people stuff their faces.

They work to make it more appealing so you purchase and eat more of it, but the fact remains that 400 calories of potato chips are no more fattening than 400 calories of chicken.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Someone make a website that shows 100 calories of literally every food

I know some blog posts exist but I bet that website would make a mint

idk about the individual sandwiches, but their "combo meal" is sandwich on a half a baguette with a side of another half of a baguette and a bag of chips

for real i bet you could sell steel water bottles that have gouges in the finish weathering strips on the inside in order to lightly and passively supplement your daily water with iron

get a deal to sell them in every one of those combination ballet/yoga/pilates studios and you're set

Yeah I defy anyone here to try to gain weight eating nothing but lean protein, rice, and veggies with only some spices for flavor.

If you fry the chicken and cover it in honey mustard and cover the broccoli in cheese and butter that's a different story
