In Comrade Clayton’s latest bungled “campaign ad,” he claims that “the system” has been designed to make healthy foods like “veggies expensive” and junk food cheap.
Ummm….no.
“Cheaper than processed snacks” – whoops!
There is a reason almost every person on the planet will choose a bag of Doritos over a handful of carrots: TASTE. Salty, fatty and sugary items taste AWESOME to humans. This is wired into us from our caveman days when food was scarce.
Comrade Clayton should know that junk food is hardly cheap since he has been getting fat on Whataburger, Panda Express and Taco Bell all year.
I was at the store the other day and took pictures of a lot of prices. I calculated that you can basically eat three healthy meals per day for about $12. Breakfast is especially cheap – I can get you an awesome 500 calorie breakfast for about $3.
As a sedentary 5’6 female, Comrade Clayton only needs about 1,700 calories per day to survive. Hell, three eggs (75 cents at HEB) will get you 15% of the way there.
Besides taste, people want convenience because most people are lazy as shit OR they are pressed for time since it now requires TWO earners in a family to make ends meet. Who else is going to pay the taxes for all the billions of dollars being stolen by the illegal Somalis that Clayton Tucker invited into the country??
That is why you see an entire wall at HEB filled with pre-chopped onions, watermelon, cucumbers, etc. There are salads in a bag and pre-cooked meals. These are WAY more expensive on a per-calorie basis.
It is WAY cheaper to buy all the raw ingredients and do all the food prep at home. But that requires you spend 30 or 45 minutes in your kitchen doing…GASP…WORK! You have to peel onions, cut up the chicken breasts, peel potatoes, etc.
Lazy twats like Comrade Clayton would rather pull up to the drive-through at Panda Express and get a huge sugary bowl of noodles with the cream of sum yung guy.
If Comrade Clayton had been paying attention 15 years ago, he’d remember that we already went through this shit with Michelle Obama and her “eat kale for lunch” in the public schools. Guess what? Kids threw it all in the trash.
Short of banning every single “junk” food on the planet, there is nothing you can do. Human brains are hardwired to love high-calorie, fatty, sugary items. Period. It’s all about willpower and getting exercise.
Besides, is it really “junk” food or is it all about the calories? There are many people who have proved that you CAN live and thrive on “junk” food IF you keep the calories and portions reasonable:
Kevin Maginnis, 57, from Nashville says he ate half-portions of McDonald’s thrice daily and lost about 60lbs (26kg) in weight.
Kansas State University nutrition professor Mark Haub lost 27 pounds in 10 weeks by consuming only 1,800 calories daily of junk food (Twinkies, Oreos, Doritos) to prove that calorie, not food quality, dictates weight loss. His body fat decreased, and blood markers improved: LDL dropped 20%, HDL rose 20%, and triglycerides fell 39%
How do you explain THAT, Comrade Clayton??
I’ll make you a bet, you dummy. I’ll do the SAME McDonald’s routine with YOU. I’ll bet you your $52,508 in campaign cash you have on hand that I can lose weight and improve my blood markers by eating nothing but McDonald’s for six weeks.
Deal? Yeah, that’s what I thought, you pussy.
