[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m kind of grossed out at the quantities of meat people on this thread are eating.

No wonder the average American is obese. [/quote]

It’s hard to believe until you’re at this stage. My teen boys aren’t athletes and they are both 25% percentile or lower for weight (one is about 5th percentile) and both eat easily 4000 calories a day right now. They are so far from obese, you can see their ribs.[/quote]

I have a 12 and 9 year old boys. My gracious, they play rec sports so nothing crazy and this week I ordered chicken- 8 pieces. I grabbed one when it came and when I went back for a second, one kid - the 9 yo, had eaten three pieces! Only two were left. I think we have crossed over into new territory. I believe most of these changes come from growth spurts, etc. I don't expect this to be a long term situation, or sustained maybe. [/quote]

You need to admonish them and strictly limit their calories or they will cause a famine on the east coast. [/quote]
