So as a man of science, how do you rationalize ignoring the effects of nutrient depletion, preservatives, and whatever other fillers are included in many processed fast food meals?

AND give your partner incentive to spend some time "downtown".

If we learn anything from these articles, it's that you don't have to give up all of the food you love to lose weight and become healthy.

Great, but I find the best way to control what I eat is to plan, plan, plan. I cook a week of meals in advance. They are then frozen and ready to go to work for lunches or defrost for dinner. I pack snacks in small containers so I control my portions. I also leave a bag of almonds or something healthful strategically…

You made me so happy just now!

Have you seen poor people in the UK? Eastern Europe? How about Mexico - an entire country struggling to get by and they're as fat or fatter than the people in the US.

I'm very happy in life, and I definitely don't expect good journalism here. But this is just lazy writing - worse than most. I just come for fun banter from time to time with randos on the internet.

Sure I can make assumptions from pictures too. But if a reporter writes a headline calling something "impractical", isn't it the reporter's responsibility to substantiate that claim? Some of the things you have listed I'm not sure that I agree with actually. However, I'm not an engineer, and I don't know your…

What an incredibly arrogant, uneducated, and unsubstantiated claim. Especially when facts are not on your side. The US may be the worst, but that does not mean that the rest of the world is doing just fine.

Oh, I don't for a minute think that even a 2K calorie McD's diet is at all healthful. However, I think this article and especially the linked article are clear in explaining that he "didn't eat like a pig" and that "he ate 2,000 calories per day" - although I would agree with you that Jesus could have explained why…

I wish YOU had written the article!

Sorry I forgot the "/sarcasm" after that sentence. ;-)

But you haven't explained WHY this bike is impractical.

That explains the Polar Vortex neatly.

Everything aside, I am forwarding this article to my trainer so when he catches my check-ins to McDonald's on Facebook he'll know why.

It's not just Americans who are fat.

I'd still qualify "balanced" with "relatively". There's really no immediate way to gauge the longterm effects of sustained processed food intake. Sure his weight and cholesterol went down, but those are only two aspects of healthful eating.

At work too. Sucks because I REALLY want to Google Image search for more, and of course, I can't.

I need to take you out into the world buddy. ;-)

Double penetration: It's probably more common than you think - especially in the gay world, and the even seedier gay, drug-fueled sex world - which, come on, really, this has to be a drug-fueled sexathon DDD is describing. I can think of half a dozen times I've been a part of a double dicking duo - and even one time…
