Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Point is, even discounting genetic disease, I'll kick the bucket in pretty short order anyway, so I'm not going to sit around eating "organic greens and tofu" for the rest of my days, am I?

You know you love that slimey white glob of soy.

I'll stick to a high caffeine, high salt, high sugar diet ta

That's pretty much what I do. Our family has 8 people and no problem with money, and still we don't eat as much as the American families on there. Almost everything I eat comes from a package except fruits, and I don't even have those very much.

We do eat out a lot, so that might have something to do with it.

Anyways, it's funny how much beer is on the German table.

Heh, I eat next to nothing but I'm 11stone (154lbs).
A month ago I was 10 stone, but I've eaten out three times and boom, I gain a stone.
Figures eh.

I eat a TON of junk food, but still I'm 6' 1" and weigh 150 pounds. Maybe it's running 40 miles a week that keeps my weight down.

True. I think that people don't eat as healthy as they should simply because eating healthy costs more and takes more effort. If you're starving but lack money, it's much cheaper (and more convenient) to get say...a cheeseburger at McDonalds or a frozen meal instead of a salad (Produce can be quite expensive). Also, size is an issue. Everything is so BIG now - do you really need to supersize your fries?

I rarely eat fast food, it's just an example.

My daughter ( the former member known as Baby Poogle Eater) turned vegetarian about a year ago. And ever since then, I have really started eating healthier. Just because I had to figure out things to cook for her that gave her all of the protein and calcium she needed. A lot of bean and rice combos, pasta dishes, salads, even hummus. And I never thought I'd eat hummus. I used to be a card carrying member of Mickey D's. But, I had a Big Mac the other day and, ewww, I got such a metallic taste in my mouth afterwards. I still am way into coffee (like I could ever give that up) and like a good steak every now and then, but there are several days a week when I have no meat at all. And well, I never ever thought I'd say that. I feel that I have starting eating healthier than I ever had before. And I owe it all to my daughter. *smile*

I give her another year before she becomes 100% carnivorous again. All girls in my boarding school went through their vegetarian phase.

I'm vegan.

No Big Macs.
No Kentucky Fried Chicken.
No Hershey's chocolate.
No Pizza Hut.
No ice cream.

*wins at eating right*

I sort of agree, Kym. I have talked to so many women who said, oh, yes, I was a vegetarian in high school. But, perhaps Nat is different. She is doing it because of the way the world treats animals (she also wears no leather and only vegan shoes), has boycotted McD's (not even for a cup of coffee) because of the way they treated the migrant farm workers, buys only indie CDs and has boycotted Indie bands that later sold out, and OMG, I cannot begin to tell you how she feels about President Bush. And this is only the tip of the iceberg about her feelings about current issues. So, we'll see. She definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer. And if nothing else, she's got me to eating fruits and veggies again. *smile*



Yay! I will have to tell Nat. Though Nat does eat some chocolate and ice cream. But only ice cream and yogurt from indie type places. She will let Ben and Jerry in. Only stuff that contains no gelatin. And she will let certified fair trade chocolate into her mouth. On occasion. Lucky for us, there's a Whole Foods in our town.

Share some of that win with me. D:
