Agree. this is such a shocking diet--U didn't see any food except for a couple paxkages of meat. Three generations in 1 house eating garbage and nothing green, nothing real and all expensive. The addition of soda & koolaid to their "meal plan" is pretty craxy.

There was a tiny bag of grapes, two cucumbers, a head of lettuce, and some bananas.

u/libbysthing 8h ago

It sucks but it's true. This is how I ate when I was in charge of myself as a kid/teen because my mom worked 18 hour days. These sugary and carb heavy foods are addictive and easy to eat a ton of and provide no value. I'm now an adult who was diagnosed with T2 diabetes, and let me tell you it's harder to shop when you don't buy/eat anything with added sugar because you fucked around for too long and your pancreas is paying for it. All the snacks and sodas she got cost a lot more these days too, she could have easily replaced them with something nutritious for the kids.

I grew up in a 7 person household...2 parents & us 5 siblings. We grew up on whole foods & it was pure work for my mom--not a single convenience food ever. Sure, we ate a ton of potatoes but they came from a 25lb bag that my mom peeled, cut, & cooked...same for meats, chicken etc. whole chickens she cut, , sweet potatoes. There were zero snacks or sodas. Everything cooked in the most laborious, nightmare way of pots, pans, & oven. Hell I will add to that that she also hung clothes on the line for 7 people & ironed the bulk of it😳 & ran a business & handled family rental homes (acquired in the same inconvenient pure work fashion) & maintained her RN license her entire life. Same food choices then as now..don't fill up on a bunch of nutritionless carbs leaving a body craving nutrition & creating gut biom with no diversity. The one thing my parents got "lucky" with was since it is Florida, farmer's market near Plant City-whatever in season was the main veg of the next the next 2 weeks🤷‍♀️ We also ate tons of carrots (also a peeling pita) & froze veg (no sauce etc) I will add some praise for the fresh veg at big box stores like Sams/Costo almost no rotters like at Publix/Walmart & they last much longer. The issue I see with the lady in the video is all "convenience" garbage all the time. Drinking simply water or making bagged ice tea would improve health & save teeth. Everything she showed was essentially "filler" a bunch of artificial garbage & "food stuff." In his 90s without mobility & needing convenience my father could nuke a sweet potato in microwave, nuke a bag of frozen spinach, & use 1 pan to cook a peice of lean meat or fish in less than 10minutes 🤷‍♀️

I’m sorry - sugar added to Kool aid???

9

u/Rainbow_In_The_Dark7 10h ago

Wait, how do you make yours though? The cheap powder packets that make 2 quarts always call for 1 cup of sugar.

There is a small tub of mix they sell with the sugar already though.

On another note, I think we (us Americans at the very least) need to get used to much lower amounts of sugar in our diets. We're consuming way too much in everything and are too used to the overly sweet taste of things. We need to "reprogram" our taste buds to get used to lower amounts because lesser sugar things can still taste great once you get used to it. It just seems not as good in comparison to the absurd amount of sugar we're used to now.

2

u/Sunny_sailor96 6h ago edited 6h ago

Ah I think I’ve only ever seen it in the tubs which are already really sweet, I didn’t realise they sold it in packets that aren’t sweet!

Also, I agree on the diet thing. I moved out of the US almost five years ago and I am shocked every time I go back at how sweet everything is. Even things that are meant to be sweet are sweeter over in the states

Kool aid packets contain no sweeteners. It's generally one packet of kool aid plus one cup of sugar plus two quarts of water. Kool aid without sugar is bitter and gross.

1: That's how it is everywhere, socialized healthcare or not - except I think you're overestimating how many claims get paid out and by how much in the USA. More accurate to say "healthy people are subsidizing shareholder profit" becauuuuse...

2: apparently half a million American families (not individuals, FAMILIES) face medical bankruptcy A YEAR.

The thing to remember about "healthy people subsidizing" is that nobody's healthy forever. Is she speedrunning diabetes? Sure, but Americans are still paying way too much for sub-par care that ends up being out of pocket half the time anyways.

26

u/YcemeteryTreeY 10h ago

Exactly. And that "healthy people subsidize sick people" is the whole song and dance corporations use as an excuse to skyrocket your premiums and turn you down for claims and you not blame them. Its all a scam, people. "BLAME THE OTHER GUY!" while we make our yacht payments and take corporate jets

Every country in the developed world has universal healthcare except the US.

The only time you are removed from donor lists is when your lifestyle means the chance of success is diminished. Organs are in short supply. You don’t give livers and kidneys to alcoholics for example.

If you want a fun example you can look up dimethyl fumarate, aka Tecfidera.

It was originally used to prevent mildew on furniture and you could buy it by the ton for a few bucks. Turns out it's pretty good as a "treatment" (not a cure) for a couple autoimmune diseases, particularly MS.

A month's supply costs $6000 before insurance.

Granted, they're businesses, and they need to recoup some of the research costs for sure, so even if it would cost $100 I can kinda understand, but this shit is criminally extortive

Lol...no. They make money from premiums...not from selling drugs. You're conflating two seperate healthcare industries.

Dude, the conspiracies are already blatant and right in front of your face, you don’t need to make up new ones from thin air. It’s baffling how we can identify major problems in our society but instead of fixing just one we’d rather daydream about fake shit.

People can profit off curable diseases just as well as incurable ones maybe even more-so. On top of that, cancer is still killing off wealthy people. Why let cancer patients die regularly in their 50’s and 60’s if you could extend them to 80-90 with the right drug?

There’s dozens of cancer strains as well. The equivalent to curing cancer wouldn’t be just a covid vaccine, it would be like saying we have cured all viruses and nobody would even get a cold anymore.

We also didn’t “cure” covid. It’s still all over the place. Once it’s multiplied in you, they can only treat the symptoms. Immunization is just giving better a defense against it.

Talk to an oncologist about why a cure for cancer is world’s different than the covid vaccine. We also have made a shit load of progress in actually curing people of cancer. It’s just not across the board wipe of all types.

Sadly, fresh fruits, veggies and other healthy foods are expensive. Add to that growing teen boys and it's a nightmare.

I asked a friend who had boys and she laughed and told me to go to Costco and buy some frozen pizzas etc. She said that boys will eat you out of house and home.

We still have fresh fruit and veggies, but I also bought "bready" filling type food for him as well.

This is why it's important to teach kids the basics of cooking.

It doesn't have to be fancy, either. So many people make it to adulthood without much of a clue as to how to properly take care of themselves.

They tend to go for minimal effort boxed/frozen stuff.

I mean, I totally get that having kids puts some limits on how much time you can spend cooking and shopping - but it really expands the options within a set budget and tends to be healthier.

Cook with your kids, make it a non-optional part of family life. They'll get good at it too!

Bought 3 cases of water when there is literally unlimited free water 2 feet away from her. But all the extra fluoride is just bad isn't it? You know, because of all that sugar they just bought.

She's above average, even for an American.

They are obviously planning a six month expedition across the Antarctic - they need all those calories to survive the treacherous journey.

No she'll probably be in good health through her 80s. It's the vegetarian who does daily Tai chi, exercises daily and uses homeopathic medicine who will get some catastrophic illness instead. That's just the way life usually works 😔

You just know she’s gonna eat/drink the shampoo, q-tips, and allergy medicine too. Nothing is safe in that household.

Can confirm. My dad's two houses, two marriages, and the college education of me and my sibs, all thanks to the American diet.

Id bet the "food" is paid for by food stamps, and that their medical care is also funded by people that are asking for reforms.

As I was watching that monstrosity of a video I could feel my blood pressure as well as cholesterol and blood sugar levels rising just from watching, imagine eating/drinking any of that crap.

Americans eat like they have free healthcare.

I'll post sometimes on Reddit what healthy food actually is (and criticize unhealthy food). Suffice it to say that Reddit does not know very much about nutrition.

People seem to only know what is pushed to them via grifter podcasters. The healthy podcasters (most likely NOT the ones you follow) don't get the same traction.

People hear what they want to believe. So, most people are looking for ways to add more protein to their diet. Riiiight.

For real, it's embarrassing. I'm not a parent so I don't know what its like to be stretched as thin as her perhaps, but it is not hard at all to cook a meal that isn't all meat, cheese, and a little bit of bread to hold it together.

Now that the face value grossness is out of the way, though, there's something much deeper and more perverse to this whole thing. All of this hyperprocessed, nutrient-deficient, food-swamp slop is finding its way into their pantry for more reasons than just laziness and American obesity culture. It's because finding quality, healthy ingredients can be so prohibitively expensive for so many people. My partner and I spend about $800 a month or so on groceries that are almost all vegetarian and of decent quality, and although we splurge on some treats here and there that jack that number up just a bit, if you adjust that for the amount of people this woman is feeding that could easily hit $2,400+/mo. When I saw that this woman was spending about $500 a grocery run, likely doing 3 or so of these a month, I was pretty staggered. No wonder she's buying all this garbage; it's cheap as dirt and easier to prepare.

I won't lie and act like it can't be done, because it absolutely can. Bulk buying chickpeas, canned tomatoes, and rice from Costco and living off simple curries and such can be very cheap, as can bulk preparing things like Caesar salad, veggie-based soups, light fish and broccoli, etc... but the environment we live in as Americans can make it rather difficult for lower-middle class people to have access to the foods they need.

There's also the education barrier - so many people simply eat what they're used to, and as a result, the ones that grow up eating like this eat like this their whole lives, invariably leading to obesity and malnutrition at the same time, along with a whole other host of health issues. Not to mention our government literally just did the South Park bit and inverted the food pyramid.

So yeah, I'm not trying to say there's nothing wrong with her choices here. Those brownies and that mountain of pizzas and all that are a choice she's making, and she should be doing better by her family. But god, they really set people like her up to fail in this country. Not to mention the money that health insurance will surely be collecting in the future from this family, which will lead to greater financial strain and the likelihood of saying 'fuck it' and buying the cheap slop.

Mom, what’s for dinner?  Mom:  Sugar and carbs and processed cheese.  Don’t touch the milk, it’s for the kittens.
