[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had been putting oat milk in my coffee and just found out that it is more like pitting sugary pancake syrup in my coffee. I have a PhD and I can't figure out what to eat! At least I can afford a nutritionist. Why is it so complicated?[/quote]

My DD is lactose intolerant so she started drinking Almond Milk.  I searched for the purist almond milk I could find, that only had Almonds and Water, and could only find 1 brand (I think it may have salt or 1 other ingredient).  The solution?  Make my own.  It's quite simple, tastes better and I can make it in smaller batches.  You can do the same for Oat Milk.[/quote]

Yes more labor! Just work harder! That’s a winning solution for all! [/quote]
So now I need to make my own oat milk, bread, hummus and deli meat. Anything else?

Condiments, salad dressings, and snacks. Oh, and forget about going out forever[/quote]

Why is almost a third of the population able to manage a normal weight while shopping at regular grocery stores and eating out occasionally? I would bet they make some of their foods and buy some of their foods too. You make it seem like the stores and restaurants are selling poison to the masses.[/quote]

Why are 2/3 of the population NOT?[/quote]

No self-control. Undisciplined gluttons.[/quote]

It always comes back to moral failure, doesn’t it? This is so offensive.

I think it likely a combination of ultra-processed food and trauma/depression. This country has lost its social safety net. People don’t have the community anymore and likely self-medicate with food. I read that something like 60-70% of Americans gained 30 lbs or more during the pandemic.[/quote]

But many Americans are picking the ultra processed foods.  Intentionally picking them, over plentiful options of foods better for them.  [/quote]

Because they don’t cook. Give me convenience or give me death.[/quote]

Well exactly, but making that choice and in turn contributing to your own obesity is a failing- I don’t know if I would say “moral” failing, but it isn’t a positive characteristic to have.  [/quote]
