I do as well. Mainly cause both of those veggies are healthy and low in carbs

That's why they don't taste great. It is sad, but the intersection of "tastes great" and "healthy" is rather small.

Chocolate and Pizza are semi-healthy?

 

[milagros317]

Dark chocolate is semi-healthy. Milk chocolate is not.
Pizza crust is mostly carbs so not healthy. The tomato sauce is healthy. Among toppings, many are healthy but the best tasting ones are unhealthy.

Dark chocolate has little sugar in it. So is actually not bad for you.

Pizza has been called the healthiest junk food.

Very true about chocolate.

I only eat thin crust pizza. Cuts way down on carbs. It's these big crusty pizzas stuffed with cheese that are bad I think.

 

[milagros317]

Thin crust pizza is definitely more healthy and you're wise to eat it. 🍕

I had thin crust grandma's pizza the other day...delicious.

All foods from fast foods joints tend to slide toward less and less healthy alternatives as the years pass.

Yea it certainly is the trend. Not likely gonna see any fast food chains featuring Kale.

Whenever some place like McDonalds tries a green salad bar, almost nobody uses it.

Someone told me they tried to buy a salad at McDonald's. Was more expensive then the burgers. Lol

I can't eat McDonald's...the breakfast I liked but I can't eat their burgers anymore. I haven't had a McDonald's burger in over a decade. It got me sick last time.

 

[milagros317]

The fast food joint that made me ill was Jack in the Box. Two of their tacos had me vomiting all night.

I been having same problem. Last burger I had I threw up. In my case in might related to stomach issues.

Oh my not good. Lilly a case of food poisoning I would say.

Yes, it was likely food poisoning. I avoided Jack in the Box after that.

Enigma - Why are some people complaining about the heat after we had a long cold winter and a chilly spring (and they complained the entire time during that?).

Because many people love to complain. I had a great aunt like that--she was never happy unless she had something about which she could complain. It was chronic and made it unpleasant to be around her.

It got pretty warm here a bit ago. I for one enjoyed it after the cold. If hits triple digits then i will complain lol.

When my parents moved to a retirement community (in their 60's), I soon learned that going to the swimming pool there meant listening to old people do two things: Complain about their health, and complain that their doctors were incompetent or greedy or both.

Lol my relatives use to engage in the "you dont know what sick is until you had..." game. Arguing over who was sicker. I remembered that so I try not to fall into that trap now that I am older.
