there is no way a frozen readymeals diet is as nutritious as just eating fresh and simply. the back of every one of those packets bears a small periodic table. plus they are stuffed with salt and other additives/preservatives. plus the actual quality of the meat is terrible.

poor dieting choice for anyone who has a good income and spare time. really no excuse.

Didn't Weight Watchers or whatever make a lot of money selling people frozen meals they can use to track how much calories they are taking in?

Looking down on frozen food is classism. I weighted myself a moment ago and I weigh 150.4 and am 5'9. Do not question my eating habits.
I also came across a weird reddit sub a little while ago. It was a diet sub. I think it was about eating whatever you like but controlling your portions. Basically dieting for people who like food and don't want to survive off of "rabbit food". At least that is what I think the sub was about. One of the rules of the sub was "do not advocate for eating disorders". I didn't subscribe to the sub since I don't want an eating disorder.

false dichotomy. you don't need to eat 'rabbit food' to eat healthy.

you remind me of a guy i met early on in korea, who was similarly incapable of looking after himself. skinny british guy. he said he was going to 'bulk up' (because the male ideal beauty standard here is quite muscular, and so that's what the girls look for ...) his solution? to go every night at 11pm to a local american-style hot dog place and order a huge hot dog. to 'stack up on proteins'. absolutely fucking hapless.

'controlling portion sizes' is crucial. as is exercise. but the idea isn't to control the portion sizes of your microwave meals and deep-freeze mac & cheeses. eat sensible-sized portions of good, fresh, healthy food. not 1/2 portions of chemically drenched industrial dreck.

you are way too old to need basic education on nutrition.

There are plenty of fat people who are great chefs.

Plenty of skinny people who survive off of single serving meals.

i think you need to consider that health/nutrition are about more than your visible body-shape.

you can be thin but have internal fat encircling all your organs. you can be thin but be well on your way to developing diabetes. you can be thin but have smoker's lungs, rotting teeth, etc, any number of factors due to poor diet.

looking at someone's exterior appearance doesn't even begin to cover it.

There's always going to be a nutritionally better choice than a frozen TV dinner. Calories and weight aren't the only indicators of your dietary health.

No it isn't. Frozen food isn't a class of people unless you're Hannibal Lecter. You're salaried and going into administration. You at least can probably afford better if you wanted to spend longer than 15 seconds on your dinner.

you're the one browsing body-shaming reddits. i have no clue about any of that stuff. i'm talking about your health and nutrition. gloating over 'fat' people because you're thin, whilst you live on a diet of frozen readymeals and monster energy, is not very fucking smart. suggests a serious lack of a grasp of even grade-school nutrition.

If Starbucks uncropped their siren, could you still take that can to school or would you have to hide it in a brown paper bag?

Funny you say that. I actually make sure to not enter the building with the can so it doesn't seem like I am drinking on the job.

I don't get it

On the one hand Israel carves off a bit of someone else's country - which they ceded to the Romans 2000 years ago - shells villages, terrorises civilians out of their homes - no nation does anything, except America applauds and sends more money and weapons.

Russia does something similar - the world goes nuts "this can not stand" etc.

annecdotal evidence: no. there are by far way more fat people in LA disneyland than from what i see in sydney.

also food regulations in the US is non existent, your bread is legally cake in other countries.

@mac: only children eat frozen meals, but frozen veggies are healthy. you don't need to have a lot of money to eat healthy either.

what an incredibly stupid take. why am i not surprised?

what’s striking to me is how LITTLE the world community, europe, the US, etc, have done in response to the flagrant landgrab.

it’s totally unsurprising to me that putin is totally in command of events and is calling all the shots. the worst that the US, EU/NATO, etc, have said from the outset is that they won’t engage in a conflict and will instate ‘huge sanctions’.

but they never materialise. putin literally rolls tanks into another country and the first response of the US/UK, vis-a-vis these fearsome sanctions, is that they’re taking a ‘gradualist’ approach and will sign off on some of the eensy weensie minor ones soon.

lmao it’s almost comical. the UK is awash with dirty russian money, it’s an oligarch’s playground, most of the senior russian kleptocracy has deep ties to the UK economy and elite … putin knows this full well. the sanctions thus far are have been trivial.

According to one diplomat, Austria, Germany and Italy stressed the importance of incrementalism. The source said: “This fetish for incremental steps really raises questions on these countries’ willingness to approve the ‘big bang’ sanctions package when we need it.”
ouhhh! scary! sanctions ‘targeting the individuals involved in approving this invasion’. lmao it makes it sound like they want to freeze the bank accounts of a few russians. that’ll do it!

Johnson says sanctions are being imposed on five Russian banks, and three high net-worth individuals.
haha. invade territory and displace 40,000 people and we will respond by ... stopping 3 mega-millionaires from visiting their property in leafy surrey or chelsea!

in terms of brinksmanship this has been an auto-win for russia in every respect. the rest of the world has made salutary protests and efforts to ‘help’ ukraine but zero in the way of actual resistance. now tanks are rolling and the sanctions are evaporating. total capitulation.

anyway.

turning away from derp-level analysis (‘ukraine is like israel’), here’s an amazing interview with an ex-advisor of putin. really interesting insight into his mentality and worldview.

There's not much we could do to stop Russia. The arguments about stopping tyranny and keeping the world safe from democracy sounds like jokes considering the state of America.

even the sanctions are paltry. we do much worse to places like NK every time they threaten to nuke a neighbour.

freezing the bank accounts of lone individuals involved in this stuff will do squat. the way the russian system works, these fall guys will be richly rewarded by putin for their fealty anyway.

What the difference between the two? Both driven by a deranged obsession with the past and messianic nuttery.

When Israel signs someone else's land over to itself and sends in the tanks it barely makes the news.
