Obesity

[buster]

I don’t suck down Big Macs or inhale whoppers but I’m a proud contributor to the obesity brigade. I battle weight for years I just enjoy good food in quantities I need to throttle off from. Take it tonight 3 squares of homemade cornbread View attachment 300599

I like cornbread. I eat a lot of sweets. I eat everything in moderation. Winter is tough.

That’s my problem the sweets don’t get me. It’s breads rice and just be greedy taking big portions and going for 2nds…3rds. A lot of my deal is I am a nervous eater and past 6 months I got a lot going on so my eating has been bad was 208 went to 187 now I’m back bouncing the 200 bar. My blood labs look like a bad UOA. it’s amazing I haven’t blown a head gasket yet no joke.

If you're eating a lot of sweets you're words that is not eating in moderation that's call overeating.
Now you said I had a donut last month that's moderation.

DNA has a lot to play in this game. Both my parents were heavy, both my wife's parents were heavy, aunt's, uncles on both sides , heavy. I know people who can consume thousands of calories a day, mostly carbs, and not gain a pound. Battle of the Bulge has been a life long project for my family and myself. Just gonna keep at it it, as usual, to keep the doctor's quiet. I did lose a ton of weight in the 80's. But that's because it snowed...... A LOT......Ah, the decade of decadence. It was FUN !!!!!!!!!

Not sure if you mean snow as in the precipitation--or snow as in, well, the other stuff one can ingest for fun.

The 80's was known for the latter and all.

People want cheap food.

Not sure what this means. As a rule, people want cheap everything. If you are poor, you eat crappy food for reasons that have to do with how we build ghettos in this country. Ghettos have fast, garbage food and liquor stores. You have to walk a long way to find a super market.

Another thing I noticed, our food likely lacks nutrients

This is a problem.

and that is probably the reason we eat so much in this country.

I doubt it. The body achieves satiety on junk food just fine. The body does not say, "Hey, I just eat 12 Happy Meals, but I'm still hungry because there was no nutritional value in my food."

Being deficient in nutrients can make people feel not quite satisfied with a normal portion and go for seconds. But also lots of cheap food is fortified with the basic vitamins and minerals, wonder bread, milk, cereal. So its probably not too common?.
Iodine deficiency is becoming a problem because some people only eat processed food which often doesn't contain iodized salt(table salt is usually iodized). Or on the other end of the scale, is people only using specialty salts which don't always have enough iodine in them either.

Not the precipitation snow. Never lost weight on that type before. Speaking of Precipitation Snow, a recent study just revealed there is so much plastic in it, to not to let you're kids eat it. Coming from the oceans. Pulverized over decades in the ocean, and being sucked into the clouds. Same with rain. Don't drink it. Full of plastic. Found it in the North and South Poles, and everywhere else when the study was conducted. Also found in top soil where farmers grow food.
