Do you care about the nutritional quality of what you eat?

Question

Based on some of the answers I've been reading over the last couple of months it seems like everyone is eating way too much fat (especially transfats), too much processed food, too much fast food and way too much sugar.

I read so very little about fruits, vegetables and whole grains but so much about frying food, making desserts and just generally loading food with non-essential and unhealthy ingredients.

Don't you young people realize that what you eat now will determine how long you live and what the quality of your life will be? Why do you think there's a health crisis in this country?

Answer 1

I do, and if you spend about $50 a week on healthy groceries, you can feed yourself all week for all your meals, and you end up saving money by not buying lunch and takeout everyday. And making it yourself it the best way to portion everything correctly and know exactly what's going in it.

Answer 2

I watch what I eat, I try to eat fresh foods, and healthy meals. I avoid fast food at all costs. I'm not a health freak, just dont feel like being part of the Huge fat population in the US

Answer 3

Well if I were eating food that was not filled with grease, fat, and cholesterol, the quality of my life would be seriously diminished. As far as the length of my life.....perhaps I should look at my 87 year old grandmother who eats nothing but deep fried, fatty foods and lives a wonderful life at 87.

Answer 4
