    Is that actually a picture of cheese in a lip balm tube or just a picture of lip balm that happens to look cheese colored?

        Fats and oils aren’t bad for you, that’s prapaganda pushed by the sugar industry for decades.

        https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat

        Eat whatever food you like that makes you feel good after you’ve finished eating, your body knows what’s good for it for the most part.

        Edit: I think this comment section is pretty good evidence for how well it worked. Loads of people reflexively scoffing at the idea that fat might not be bad for you but no clear arguments as to why.

          I’m not going to read that article, but I am going to switch to an all-pizza and bourbon diet.

          If it doesn’t work, I will not be held responsible for my actions.

          Everything is bad in excessive, especially oils and fats given their high calory content. Sugar may be ““worse””, doesn’t mean fats are good

            Everyone needs calories, if you don’t get them from fats and oils, you’re left with carbs and sugars, both of which have a higher glycemic index.

            So yes, it does mean fats are good, because you need energy to live. If you want to tell me there’s some other form of energy that you know about that’s better than any of those three, please let me know.

            Until then, perhaps you could show me the science that proves how bad fats supposedly are.

              That’s not what I’m saying, a healthy diet consists of different sources of calories. There’s no “better source than others”, you need all in different quantities. Some are worse in excess, but you still need all for a balanced nutrition.

                Then I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with in my first comment, since you agree that fats aren’t actually bad.

                In fact, since you’ve said that you need “all” for a balanced diet, it seems like you agree that fats actually are “good”.

          Well, as someone who has struggled with diet most of my life that seems like pretty fucking bad advice but to each their own.

            Feeling energized, satisfied, full but not stuffed. That is what they mean. For people who have not developed healthy eating habits they may have never experienced those types of feelings after eating.

              Yes, exactly this. If you feel buzzed, anxious, jittery, pay attention to what you last ate and see if there’s a pattern.

              “Pay attention to how food makes you feel” is the best dieting advice I ever got, because different foods react differently to different people’s systems. There isn’t a single prescriptive diet that can cater to everybody’s needs.

            Every one needs calories. Avoiding fats and oils means you turn to carbohydrates and sugars, both of which have a higher glycemic index.

            There’s a reason the US has demonised fat for decades and over those same decades the obesity epidemic has only gotten worse.

            Also, the calories in; calories out approach is a myth and probably not good for you long term:

            https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2023/07/05/its-time-to-bust-the-calories-in-calories-out-weight-loss-myth.html

            Bottom line

            The “calories in, calories out” formula for weight loss success is a myth because it oversimplifies the complex process of calculating energy intake and expenditure. More importantly, it fails to consider the mechanisms our bodies trigger to counteract a reduction in energy intake.

            So while you may achieve short-term weight loss following the formula, you’ll likely regain it.

            What’s more, calorie counting can do more harm than good, taking the pleasure out of eating and contributing to developing an unhealthy relationship with food. That can make it even harder to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

            For long term weight loss, it’s important to follow evidence-based programs from health-care professionals and make gradual changes to your lifestyle to ensure you form habits that last a lifetime.

    I’m middle school (early 90s I think) there was a drink girl with a Mt Dew bottle that had some vodka mixed in. Gave me a nice view before math class. The teachers didn’t give a single fuck. Things sure have changed.

      You’re not sure when you went to middle school?

      You are saying that there was a young lady who was drunk at school and what- flashed you? And the teachers saw this and or knew about it somehow and were fine with it?

      The juvenile in me is slightly jealous that your school was so relaxed. The adult in me is horrified that the people who were left in charge of children were unconcerned by an alcoholic 13 year old.
