Didn't Hot Pockets used to be tasty?

[ridertoo98]

They aint so bad, vs a cig. Once in awhile wont kill ya.. Cigs on the other hand will.

Thr triple burger might be a little over the top but I'll give it a shot too.

[Tarkus406]

Yeah too many people seem to think that even having something unhealthy once in a while will ultimately destroy your life forever!

 

Its like when my mother wont eat peanuts because of fat content. If you eat 20 grams of peanuts, do you really think that'll cause you to gain 5 pounds of fat?

[librarian]

I think "bad for you" food or drink in moderation is okay.

 

Would I suggest:

Bacon and Eggs with hash browns & Coffee with real cream

for breakfast

One of those triple bypass burgers and a bag of pork rinds for lunch

AND

leg of mutton with potatoes au gratin with gravy and corn for dinner

and a neopolitan and a piece of pecan pie for dessert

all on the same day???

 

hell no. maybe not even in the same week -

 

You can look at life two ways - you only live once so eat your face off and enjoy life "in the now" OR

eat rabbit food most of your life and then and get struck by lightening. Oh well, too bad you didn't have that mutton.

 

I am now going to eat a few Rasberry Milano cookies

Then there's the opposite: people who wolf down an entire cheesecake and chase it with a diet soda.

Even if you are dieting... dont deny yourself the "bad foods" it will only make you feel like you are punishing yourself and then make you wanna cheat and then the diet is shot to hell. What I do (try to still do) is dont eat anything unhealthy during the week and that way the weekend is like a reward for being good. And even then... in moderation. You dont wanna gain 10lbs cause you gorged out on pizza, cookies and cakes all weekend.

 

That being said... I dont eat processed food EVER! They are SOOOO horrible for you. Something I should limit or maybe remove from my diet completely is cheese. I can't digest it well and it's fattening.

I'll eat YBT's portion of cheese. I love cheese. Cheddar, havarti, mozzarella (there is SUCH a difference between whole-milk and part-skim mozzarella!), bleu. . .the only cheese I can think of that I don't really care for is fontina.

Well the same could be said for ALL dairy. It's not really natural to be able to still digest dairy after a certain age. So when I became lactose intolerant around the age of 14-15 it was actually what is meant to happen in humans.   I STILL eat dairy eventhough I know it's gonna give me issues later. I LOVE pizza and cheese... but I have cut down on my intake considerably so I don't do any damage to my Digestive Tract.

It's not that Hot Pockets used to taste good and all of a sudden they changed the "recipe" or started using lesser ingredients. Hot Pockets have always tasted like microwaved genetically-modified llama shit. It's just that your taste buds have matured. Of course, since Hot Pockets are being mentioned, I am required by law to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu-dLUJzsW8

this thread has had a few nice twists and turns. one of the them being bacon and the other is it stirred up some talk about a possible food subforum. this goes much deeper than hot pockets which i've never tried so i can't comment on them but i certainly like the food talk.
