[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know what OP has for dinner at her 'upscale hotel' tonight.  [/quote]

Yeah, I’m at a hotel with $300-$400 rate and multiple restaurants. The food here is mostly crap (I finally did find a decent Italian restaurant last night). They don have nutrition facts so I have no idea what I’m eating.

So if I can’t find healthy food in this setting what hope so you have for low income people?

I guess I should drive to farmer’s market and cook something up in my room.

There’s really not a single salad on the menu? Or grilled meat with steamed vegetables? Usually the options are there, but they don’t taste as good so people don’t order them. [/quote]

This is true but you’ll likely get some bagged iceberg lettuce and dried out grilled chicken with some diced cucumbers and likely no homemade dressing, so you’ll need to ask for the sad Heinz vinegar and oil[/quote]

DP. The PPs would consider that "good food," having never actually experienced actual good food before.[/quote]

How would you know what food the PPs eat, or consider good?[/quote]

I don’t know, but I think PPs point was, if you happen to be in a chain hotel, rural area, etc. and the restaurant options are sparse, you are likely going to end up at a place that has 90% “unhealthy” items and fried food.  So your choice ends up being wings done well or a salad done terribly.  [/quote]

A huge hotel in Nashville with over a dozen restaurants and healthy room service options is not some backwards rural shithole. OP is being completely disingenuous, as anyone can tell by Googling the hotel she mentioned, and looking at the breakfast menus. All the fresh fruit and yogurt and egg whites available kinda take the wind out of her whole narrative.[/quote]

Yeah, the “fresh fruit” looked and tasted like it was days old and also was glazed in something suspicious.  The eggs I think were fake.  No veggies at all. Strange looking and tasting sausage. Yogurt with a lot of sugar. donuts.

A typical American breakfast.[/quote]

So…just curious, since you seem pretty informed about what is or isn’t healthy, and you have enough money that you can stay in an upscale hotel and travel, and you clearly have plenty of time on your hands…why are you blaming “America” for your poor dietary choices? Do you bear no responsibility for your pre-diabetic state?[/quote]
