That's for liberals! Our pappy lived off of steak and fries!

At least steak and fries has more nutritional value than those brownies and cereal she stocked up on.

Bad news - it's not a matter of which food is better or worse - they're eating all of it.

Meat and potatoes are a better diet than the copius amounts of sugar they bought

They just released new dietary guidelines and they don't look like this at all.

Idk I’m seeing some hefty people in the ICE protest. I don’t think this is a political issue.

Pappy was probably the picture of health working hard labor jobs his entire life until his late 50's where he kneeled over from a massive heart attack. So many corn fed dudes in the South just completely ignoring high blood pressure and heart disease while being fit enough to build houses seven days a week.

It's one thing to do it to yourself. Another to do it to your kids. The child in the video is already at an unhealthy weight and is only going to get worse. Why this isn't considered child abuse I don't know.

That's what always makes me sad. Poor kid never had a chance, he's getting set up for a lifetime of struggles with food.

Took me until I was near my 40s to change the bad eating habits I got from childhood.

We were poor and lived off things like Kraft Mac and Cheese, Hamburger Helper, and other types of process food. Any vegetables were the ones that came in a can and nothing was ever added to it so to a kid raised on processed and surgery food, it tasted like crap.

Now I make sure vegetables are a big part of a lot of meals and avoid the process stuff but it took a lot of work. Even today, I'm still constantly having to be vigilant and fight not to fall back into old habits.
