Everywhere you look, obesity is there. I am not advocating to be a food policeman, but we need to start making a voice in our land. People do not like being overweight. But certain foods are addictive and the public needs to be educated on proper unbiased nutrition. Meat and dairy products and foods that are fried are absolutely in no way beneficial to the human body. The human physiological system is completely adaptable to a total vegetarian diet. But with the refined sugars and fatty foods that poison our body and cloud our minds, addiction sets in deep and becomes 'nearly' impossible to break the bonds.
I am challenging every nurse to take up the baton on this one. If we, health care professionals cannot make the first stand on the nutrition value of America, then the general population have little to no hope.
Yeah, gwen, I remember that thread........seems like tgibson's sole mission in life is to rescue the world from being infected by us fatties. Lord, I hate to see this get going again......too many bad feelings. I guess I'll bow out now, before I get angry again!

Sensory overload! Mouth watering! Must...have....all of it!!!!!!
Personally, I will NEVER go without chocolate and meat!
I eat lean meats (usually), good fats and good carbs (low glycemic). I tend not to eat too much processed foods...lotsa whole grains, fresh veggies and fruits...must have RED MEAT OFTEN!!!!!
I am hypoglycemic. I MUST have protien and low glycemic carbs...and rice and beans just ain't gonna cut it for MY complete protien. Can't do white potatoes (unfortunately, I love them) or white bread...it sends my body into blood sugar rollercoaster land.
To each their own, I will NEVER shove anything down anyones throat.

More and more, I beginning to think that kind of eating is for me. Lean meats and low glycemic foods, including whole grains and fruits and veggies.
I was a vegetarian for many years and after the 12th year for some reason it wasn't agreeing with my gi system, as well as I'm sure my blood glucose regulating mechanisms. Too many highs and lows. I feel pretty good on that kind of diet, and haven't gotten obese when I went to eating meats again.
MMMMMMMMMm...You guys are making me hungry:roll :roll :roll
I have a passion for chocolate....lol..ecspecially if I have had a hard day..My excuse.."chocolate helps release endorphines..endorphines make you happy.." Extra chocolatey brownies anyone????????
actually, many ppl GAIN weight when they become Vegetarian because they have no idea how to eat right. I was raised Vegetarian and am now Semi, I eat some fish. It's so hard to eat right, to make sure your getting everything you need, I have a feeling this would be a hard thing for ppl to just start doing. there needs to be an easing into a vegetarian lifestyle.
This is a problem for me... I wish I could eat meat because i know I'd have a lot less problems with my weight. I do better with more protien and less carbs but a lot of time I'm just not creative enough or too lazy to make it work.
But, meat grosses me out! and I feel bad for the cow/chicken/pig LOL. so if any of you ever see me at a barbeque, I'm the one eating up all the cheese dip and scarfing down cake. ;o)
I did start eating fish a few years ago (I've been a lacto-ovo veggetarian for 14 years) that's helped- and it's OK to eat fish because they don't have any feelings...
