Can libs tell me what is your standard American diet?

[Blackwolf]

Soy milk, raw vegetables, and free trade herbal tea harvested by the indigenous peoples of Artesia. If I’m feeling indulgent I may partake of gluten free hodgeberry muffins with a dab of vegan butter. SO good, but the sense of self-satisfaction afterwards can be murder on the waistline.

I learned that smoking is cool from Looney Tunes.

Odd, I’m pretty sure you were responding to my post but I don’t see it.

I’m 33.

I will say, one life changing thing I’ve added to my diet—Metamucil. Best thing that ever happened to my GI.

Metamucil at 33? Eat a green vegetable now and then, youngster!

Careful about the amount of Potassium your getting in OJ.

The amount of salt in processed food is ■■■■■■■ astronomical!

Why be careful about OJ potassium?

Yea everything is so packed with salt. I need to start using my crockpot more with fresh meat and veggies

Depending on your age and the status of your cardio-vascular system, too much potassium can cause heart arrhythmia. OJ, tomatos and bananas all have a lot of potassium. Moderation is essential.

Now that I would not have guessed.

Well, OJ gives me heartburn and bananas are gross.

So I guess all I have to worry about are tomatoes.

It is hard to say for sure, but I think I was responding to ImRight.

Unless you were the one who said they recently started to gain weight, on the same diet - and your doctor said it’s just cause you’re getting old.

Because that’s what’s happening to me.

If we’re talking diets. A very little know dietary fact.

Overall nutrition health in England increased during WW ll due to rationing. That’s how bad, for what ever reason, things were before the war.

I do all the cooking and I use my crockpot frequently. I also have a pressure cooker which retains the natural juices in meats and cuts cooking time dramatically.

Not sure what the “standard American diet” is - but I know here in the south, it tends to be about 30% grease, 30% trans fats, 30% some sort of sugar (whether it be lactose, fructose, or a ton of other -ose type ingredients), and about 10% of something that actually resembles nutrition.

Being diabetic, my diet is divergent from the standard southern diet - lol.

I go with a modified paleolithic diet.

This? Why do you ask?

Western pattern diet

Not sure why this a lib/con thing.

I’m pescatarian. The only meat I eat is fish(not fried).
Off topic: I was in Philly this past weekend and had the most awesome Fish Hoagie from Sister Muhammad’s (yes they’re Muslim).

Anyway, I’m mostly on a plant based diet, no soy, low carbs, and fruit(no oranges and apples). Don’t drink soda or juice, I do drink the occasional kombucha/ginger drink, ginger tea and I absolutely love beet juice, other than that water.

Now I do drink beer from time to time, but not too often anymore.

I keep getting an ad with a realistic colon on it. It feels fitting on this thread.

We eat veggies and fruits and meats and dairy. The food pyramid would be proud if it were alive.
